  • Have you actually looked at what is in "off the shelf" peanut butter? Unless it is the cheap crap, it contains peanuts and salt. How do you believe you mixing exactly the same ingredients will magically make it better? You are setting up arbitrary rules. and quite restrictive ones at that. That is generally where people…
  • When faced with the fact that what you are doing is not only counter productive, but pose real health risks and you still decide to disregard the unanimously given advise and continue, that is not being stubborn. That is being reckless. But it's your life and your health. Who cares what science and reality have to say,…
  • You can lift as much as you like. If you are not getting the proper nutrients, your muscles will not benefit from it. No matter what you want to believe, ridiculous diets like this are not a shortcut to anything more than health problems and muscle loss. Anyone who tells you otherwise is either trying to sell you something…
  • If you are not incredibly short or weight next to nothing, there is no way less than 1200 calories is anywhere near healthy. Your BMR is probably closer to 1400 and eating below that is simply madness.
  • It is true and worth repeating.
  • It's just another in the infinitely long line of gimmick diets. let me make it real simple. If you want to loose weight, the ONLY healthy and sustainable solution is to eat right and exercise. And eating right means eating proper food that fits your macro nutrient needs and a daily caloric intake that is below your TDEE…
  • Have you actually looked at what is in them? Only 76% of it is actually oats. The rest is mainly sugar. And how is it a bargain? Even at the "bargain" price. one 36g serving is 0.10£ Here is a infinitely better product: http://www.sainsburys.co.uk/shop/gb/groceries/porridge-oats/sainsburys-scottish-porridge-oats-15kg For…
  • In my book, rolled is the only kind. Try overnight oats (just type it into google or youtube).
  • As long as there isn't anything added to it, there should be no real difference.
  • Ask a doctor. That is what they are there for.
  • Pickled on top of warm liver pate on fresh sourdough rye bread.
  • Your food is boring because you decided to eat boring food. It really is up to you. Here are a few alternatives in roughly the same calorie range (+/- 50 at most): The last one without the peanut butter cups, obviously. If I do say so myself, none of these are boring.
  • Chicken breast and pasta in tomato sauce with celery and yellow pepper. And a side of broccoli and green beans. Now to find a dessert that will take care of those last 900 calories for the day.
  • I'm going to have to tell you what you probably don't want to hear. And I would be very surprised if I don't catch flak for it. You are asking for a way to deal with the symptom while ignoring the problem. If you are binge eating an excess of 1000-2000 calories on a regular basis, you should NOT be looking for a way to…
  • Have a Kichenaid but thinking about getting a Blendtec instead.
  • If you are interested in these silly pieces of Styrofoam for weight loss, you may want to remember that gram for gram, most rice cakes have about the same calories as chocolate chip cookies. Plus they are pretty high on the glycemic index and often contain ridiculous amounts of sodium. And they have almost no nutritional…
  • Lunch: baby spinach, radish, cherry tomato, carrot and celery, with vinaigrette. Served with cottage cheese, fish cakes (closest English word for it anyway) and some peanut butter cups to add a bit of fat and sugar.
  • The key to both simplicity and cost is planning and preparation. I buy the vegetables I eat most days, about twice a week. Then spend maybe 30 or so minutes preparing them. I separate my broccoli into florets, trim the Brussels sprouts, etc. and put them all in glass containers in the fridge. My baby spinach, I clean and…
  • This is very true. Which is why I would always advise getting someone who knows what they are doing, to help.
  • Calipers are the tried and true method.
  • Calipers are really the only way to go. They are the accurate (for home use) and so cheap that there is no good excuse to not use them. I have one of those silly scales that supposedly measure a million things. It says 10.5% while the calipers say 7%.
  • Not by any rational definition of the word.
