Protein smoothie--1 cup low fat Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup almond milk, 1 cup spinach, 1 large banana, 1 scoop Muscle milk protein powder. 452 calories. It's filling--will hold me until lunch. The spinach makes it look like puke, but it's sweet, with banana providing the primary flavor.

I've been running in Brooks Adrenaline and really like them. I recently added Muzino Wave Inspire to my running shoe rotation and WOW! very comfortable. Minimalist shoes caused me a lot of pain/grief. For everyday walking/wear, you can't beat Birkenstock sandals. They are the single most comfortable shoe on the planet, and…

Get your favorite flavor of Muscle Milk. Mix one scoop with 1 cup of low fat Greek Yogurt and 1/2 cup of unsweetened Almond Milk (or skim milk). Throw it all in the blender with 1 cup spinach and a banana. Costs less than $1. 452 calories, 41 grams of protein.

I blew it yesterday as well. But today is a new day! Make it a great one.

No you can't. Your calculations are waaaaay off. I burn approximately 385 calories in a 25 run pacing myself at 9:30. There is no way you can burn 1000 calories in a run walk scenario, unless you are doing it for hours.

If you want to look "buff," you have to lift. If you just want to tone muscles, try the "30-Day" apps. They have them for back, abs, butt, squats, pushups, & burbees (maybe more).

When I started losing weight, the first restaurants to go were Chinese Buffets. High in calories. High in transfats. High in MSG. And after gorging myself on chinese food, I'm hungry just a few hours later. Just not worth it. Thai food on the other hand....soooo much tastier and healthier.

Get the free Couch to 5K (C25K) app by Zen Labs. In 8 weeks, not only will you be able to run 3miles, you'll have lost a bunch of weight. I lost 30lbs. My wife lost 21lbs. The program starts out with you walking for 90 seconds, then running for 30 seconds. Over time, the ratio changes until you run more and walk less. At…

Come on people! There is NO HUMANLY POSSIBLE WAY to get the results they are claiming in only 21 days. None. Nada. Zilch. You can't lose 100lbs in 21 days (that's 4.5lbs per day). You can't get six pack abs in 21 days. Even the reviews are fake--people are more likely to return to review a product negatively in order to…

15 minutes before the monthly office birthday party, I eat an apple or banana and drink two full glasses of water. By the time the party starts, I'm not even tempted. The bigger temptation is the treats people bring in first thing in the morning and place on the empty desk across from me.

This should break you of any love for Ramen: http://www.collective-evolution.com/2014/08/04/a-scary-look-at-the-digestion-of-instant-ramen-noodles-inside-your-stomach-a-deadly-ingredient-you-need-to-know-about/

Bananas are often used in smoothies to make it creamy. Dry oatmeal can be used as a substitute.

1 cup greek yogurt 1/2 cup juice (any flavor--I use Tropicana Farmstand Peach Mango Fruit & Vegetable Juice) 1 banana 1 cup spinach Ice, if you want it (I don't add it) The spinach will turn your smoothie puke green, but you don't taste it at at all. With my juice selection: 357 calories 6 gram fat 55 gram carbs 25 gram…

I started running with the C25K app too! I'm now training for my first Marathon using zenlabs Marathon app. I respectfully disagree with benpoepen about minalmist shoes. Vibram just settled a massive class action law suit for "unsubstantiated claims about the health benefits of its glove-like footwear."…

Setting a goal to lose 2lbs per week is probably unrealistic. I mean, it's possible, but miserable--always hungry, always tempted to eat more (re: unhealthy foods), alwasy discouraged when you don't hit that mark. Instead of focusing on the weight loss, may I suggest shifting your focus on eating healthy & getting…

Our office has been filled with baked goods for weeks. I keep banannas & apples in my drawer. My rule is if after eating a fruit, I'm still hungry, I can have 1 treat. I'm never hungry after the fruit.

Neanderthing is right. I recently read a nutrition article saying the issue is not Gluten. It's the chemicals applied to grain crops prior to harvest to boost yield <Insert rants against Monsanto here>. Before going Gluten Free, I would try organic breads & grains. Check your local health food stores, as some grocery store…

Oh, good. Cuz that girl really doesn't look healthy to me! I still think going to the doctor for a check up would be a great way to show you dad your living a healthy lifestyle. Other than that, if he was critical of you for being overweight, and now he's being critical of you losing weight, then I would imagine your dad…

When my brother lost a lot of weight rapidly, I was concerned. He was furious at me for making a big deal over it and saying he needed to see a doctor. One day, while he was changing clothes, I physically carried him naked through the house and dropped him in front of my parents. He wanted to kill me, but my parents…
