Haha only sometimes. I used to work with a real uh not nice lady in close quarters and she would have let me know :D. She hated me because I was fat so any excuse to say stuff. Onions now that a different story altogether LOL. I had a boyfriend years ago that hated onions and was determined to make me hate them by making a…

I love garlic and sometimes eat a lot of it. No one has ever said I smelled like it.

I can see someone doing this if they need more fat in their diet. I personally like to get my dietary fat other tastier ways. Some people say it keeps them full and others say it doesn't. It's not magic but if you like it and it fits your calories then it's working for you.

I try to save 100 to 300 for later snacking. I keep a variety of tasty protein bars that also have varying calorie counts. Im loving lenny and larrys (I think that's the name) cookies but i should point out they are 2 servings for each cookie and 360 calories to get 16g protein. But they are yummy. That way if I want…

If you like cottage cheese try using that in place of the mayo. More protein. Edited cuz duh on me

I don't seek out anything low fat other than non-fat greek plain yogurt because the protein is much higher. Fat is a necessary macro. I view mine as a minimum. Unless of course you have a medical reason to limit it. It helps with satiety too along with protein and fiber. Trader Joes frozen chicken breasts are good and…

I get it a day after hiking. We go several miles (6+) also with lots of elevation changes and now wrestling with a 90lb dog I'm training so we can take him on weekend overnight hikes. I want all the meats mostly. And usually 2 portions of pasta with a lighter sauce on it then I'm good on carbs. Definitely lots of meat lol.…

About the crackers. .. I brush my lavash with a little water (or oil if you have/need calories) then sprinkle lightly with some spices or dried herbs of your choice and lightly salt, then use a pizza cutter to make crackers then bake. They turn out so good. A touch of parmesan is good too. I need to remember to get lavash.…

I like using a mandolin instead. It won't make pretty curls but you can get long julienned (matchstick) type shape. You can also use it to slice veggies of varying thicknesses to make chips or layered dishes. Easy to use. More than one use. Easy to clean.
-
It also lists calories on the menu at the restaurant so you can decide then. I'm a fan of menu listed calories. One way I know some big Mac loving friends fit them in their day is to either request the middle bun be left off or take it off themselves as well as light on the sauce. You still get the flavor without it…

I'm right there with you on sprinkles. Little wax pieces of colored nothingness that only get in the way and stick in teeth. Another product that I saw the how's it made show.....yuck. I didn't like them before that show and now I really don't like them. Maraschino cherries. Aren't they even considered inedible or listed…

There are so many on the market that if you have issues you can talk with your doctor to see if another may be better. I was on bc in the past, just the most basic, and I lost weight. They did help a LOT with severe cramps. I went off them after several years and still don't get cramps or bloating, etc to this day. To me…

When i first started this last year I did best by eating a large breakfast like 500 to 600 calories. I get about 1900 daily and I've always been a volume eater. The last couple months I noticed I was way too full to the point of being a little ill so I cut back to about 300 to 400 for breakfast most days. Sometimes even…

I'm not sure if it's exactly what you are talking about - I'm in a lack of sleep brain fog right now, but I definitely, very noticeably lose weight faster, more efficiently (?) when I get quality exercise on a regular basis. For me quality is a combo of strength and cardio and perfection is hiking. I eat ALL my exercise…

I remember a time when this was more true. In my area a lot of the regular grocery stores caught on and now you do get the produce and meat and sometimes a deli but that also comes with the bakery, but we can't even always get dairy on the perimeter or anything else good. It's beer & wine, ice cream and frozen desserts,…

I added beans, lentils and quorn after you read. I was looking at a plant based protein rich food list. Sometimes oats and other grains are processed in a factory where gluten products are as well. I learned that from a friend that has celiac disease. I wouldn't buy much "gluten-free " processed foods since they may have…

Tingling in the mouth and hives is an allergic reaction so whatever you eat that causes that definitely stop eating it immediately. If those sensations get worse or your throats feels like it's closing get emergency medical help immediately. I can't eat celery (raw) :'( or okra (at all). I miss pickled and fried okra!…

Don't eat anything white. Yeah no.

I have a 2 year old 90lb very lean, muscular german shepherd dog so yep we walk a lot. That's him in my profile picture. We walk him in the neighborhood and local parks and in this pic it was his first trail hike. He did pretty well on it and won't need much more training to go some more. The only issue we had was him…
-
Somehow I've been lucky and had no one spamming fb with any of these products. Until today :'( She's the one posting pics of meals with 3 lbs of cheese on a regular basis so I'm sure any weight loss will be because of advocare. Right? ::::rolls eyes:::::

I'm aiming for a range of sizes for similar reasons to what others have said. There doesn't seem to be an industry standard as far as what measurements are what size. You can't go by weight since actual measurements can vary greatly person to person of the same weight. Online shopping has options on many sites that go on…
-
Yep it works both ways. It's great when you realize you can eat more of something than you thought! Or have some calories to spend somewhere else. :) I eat more food and more delicious healthyish food now than I ever thought I could.

Catalina dressing on a salad that has bell peppers in it. I love bell peppers. I love Catalina dressing. Absolutely vile together. This ridiculous salted caramel crap fad happening. It's the worst thing to happen to desserts since the fake red velvet that's also everywhere. It's so hard to find normal caramel things now…

I have the ft4 and it's just a hrm for steady state cardio. It's not an activity tracker. It does let you know when you are in or out of the optimal heart rate zone. I do love it but I only use it for cardio workouts. I don't think you can download info and I've never tried,

Yay! Congrats!

Bounce - Iggy Azalea Anytime I hear that song it makes me move more even if I'm not working out.

I think that shows they can't shop properly. A fast food meal for my family would be 20 at the cheapest and could be up to 40 if no value menu. I can make at least a couple healthy meals for 20.
-
You could cook a couple eggs whites in with your oatmeal and bump that protein up.
-
Healthier foods are cheaper. You might have a fistful of coupons for a lot of boxed salty carbs, but it's not going to be food that fills me up and keeps me full. I have to eat more of that stuff or at least eat it more often since I'm hungry again much sooner. Adds up $ I stock up on meat when it's on sale - family size…
-
Not really a craving but I want all the meat. Just meat no sauce no trimmings gimme the meats lol. Nothing else feels like I'm eating much. I'm sure it's because of the increased activity this week - finally had good enough weather to hike and I'm starving after that.
