I was thinking about this thread last night and first I would ask why did you give up the only foods that you will eat, even though together they provide protein and fiber? By all means add them back and maybe add a multi to make sure you are getting your proper nutrients. Also you said you pretty much only like beer and…

I think it is great that you want to teach her early about nutrition and what you have learned through MFP, and I agree that there are better ways to go about that with an 11 year old girl. The suggestions about teaching her to read a nutrition label (especially at the grocery store when you are choosing food) are good…

I know that feeling! A couple times I've told my trainer, when he asks how I feel since last workout "I can't tell if I'm just sore, or I'm getting sick" - I always feel better the next day.

I'm enjoying the ones I have come across so far. The "My cat doesn't care I'm trying to eat keto" one was funny until it got hijacked.

Your cat knows he is worth more than ten Twinkies and doesn't care about your body, unless it can't move to feed him.

Obviously he meant you need more protein. (my cat just rolled her eyes)

LOL

Interesting. I wonder who chose to name it that. *goes back to read more

Is this an April Fools joke? I thought Soylent is people.

I was afraid I'd get banned B) LOL - i seriously thought about it though.

Here is a thread that just started in the nutrition debate section - would be good to read and follow: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10362982/getting-rid-of-stubborn-fat

Stay within the calorie goal that MFP gives you, log everything accurately, and you should steadily lose until before you know it the weight will be gone! It doesn't happen overnight or exactly the same every week, but if you are doing it right, you lose. If you get frustrated, take measurements (weight loss doesn't always…

I guess for any strange thing I experience for the next five years, I'll just come to this forum first. So far, they're all here. Thanks again Sabine! haha

You might look into Whole30.com and try that for 30 days and see how you do, if you are interested in the experiment. Once you get past the 30 days, you can introduce some foods back into your diet (like some dairy). If you like it and feel better at the end of the 30 days, Paleo might be something that you respond to. If…

^this, plus sometimes there is an option to change the unit of measurement. So, if it says cup, depending on if you are on your phone or what, you click that and see what other options there are.

Okay how do we make that a thing? #SUPER ?

When I did the Paleo kitchen purge, I ended up with about 6 bags of food. I gave it to my daughter and her roommates (felt a little bit guilty about that, but they would eat anything and were broke lol)

This was after only a week? You may need to give it more time.

Its this for me. I say "I changed the way I eat", then when asked for more detail I tell them "I ate less and moved more, and kept track of everything", and then if they want more information I'll go there. Yes I define the way I eat as Paleo, but there is just more to it than that and if I start with it then people will…

is Tequila a food?

I laughed the first time I read this last year - it's still funny! It reminds me of my first few months of eating Paleo, when I tried to make non-grain bread for Thanksgiving stuffing, which was a dry and tasteless miserable failure. Now I just like eating the basic food and I don't try to turn it into cookies or anything…

I would choose most fruit over most non-fruit sweets, except for the fruit I'm allergic to which is about half of fruit. I would choose strawberry cake or dark chocolate or pumpkin pie over any fruit except berries, lol.

I've got Piyo and Cize from Beachbody, which I like just fine, but there are a ton of less-expensive workouts (like, free) on YouTube.

I'm going to try this Salmon recipe in the next couple of weeks: • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, fat free • 1 lime, juiced • 3 garlic cloves, minced • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin • 4 (3oz) wild caught salmon fillets 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a baking pan with nonstick spray and set…

LOL yes! I think it's the body's way of making up for the "eat all the food week" - especially if you ate all the food.

^I hope that was sarcasm... We can't really choose where the fat burns off, it just does. I've lost the pounds I want to lose but I'm working on burning the remaining fat which happens to be in my belly and the back of my upper arms. I took my focus off of the "skinny-fat" problem by strength training/conditioning. While…

I think that people just don't know how to say "Wow, congratulations, you look great!" instead of the comments "must be on drugs" or "wonder if it's AIDS or cancer" (before I lost my weight, there are two people in my life who lost weight quickly and those were my first two thoughts instead of "they must be eating healthy…

I went to Target and thrift stores in between sizes and only bought a couple pairs of jeans.

This. And, have you actually tried the extra amenities for the extra $10? I had a PF black card and only ever used it about 5 times to bring a friend. The rest of the time it was basically a waste of an extra $10. I went for the treadmills and some of the weight machines until I got more involved with wanting weight…

I switched. WW works for a LOT of people, so I won't say it doesn't work, but it didn't work for me. I actually gained weight on WW. For some reason it is easier for me to keep track of/see actual calories and nutrients of food than it is to keep track of "points". Once I had spent a good amount of time trying to work the…
