You'd be better off just eating plenty of whole raw fruits. It will do the same thing. Detox. Fruits are cleansing and if you eat enough of them you will "detox". Now, I am not saying just one apple or one banana or one pear. I am talking, a whole cantaloupe or watermelon. Many (5+) bananas, apples, pears etc. as a MEAL,…

To me, it sounds like you're looking for an excuse to not count calories. If you don't want to count then don't count. You don't need our permission to count or not count, just do whatever makes you feel best.

Eat less fat.

Fruit is healthy. You should be encouraged to eat it over processed sugary foods like ice cream, cake, donuts, soda etc. Fruit gives you fiber to fill you up and is full of nutrients. I personally don't feel more protein is the solution for satiety. You can feel just as full on fruit and vegetables and get more bang for…

The smell of popcorn always gets at me.

Have him store his food in a hidden place you won't find it. If he's going to buy it then he needs to hide it. If he buys it and you don't know, even better. Then, you won't go looking for it. Honestly, fill up on high fiber foods and water, and you won't be hungry to eat his stuff.

Popcorn or baked fries usually, sometimes fruit or veggies & dip. I'm the type who needs to eat before bed or I won't fall asleep.

34 fl oz water, 4 bananas, 2 pears, 2 cups kale, 2 tbsp chia seeds. Its a smoothie.

I use a Ninja, although I wish I had a Vitamix. My Ninja blender does the job but it can be challenging to stuff the pitcher full of ingredients because of the long tree of blades. I would rather it at the bottom of the pitcher instead of taking up space within the pitcher. That is my only issue with it, honestly. It…

Whole grain pasta with fresh sliced cherry tomatoes, chopped red yellow and orange bell peppers, minced garlic, basil, onion, other seasonings, a little apple cider vinegar, and some crushed red pepper flakes for a kick. It was delish!

My macros are 80-10-10 (not the diet). 80% Carbs - 10% Protein - 10% Fat This works for me, and I feel really good. You can always try going up and down with the numbers until you find a ratio that works for you. I find it is easier to fulfill my protein than it is my fat. Some days I am a little over 10% in fats and/or…

To me they are all a waste of money. You could be spending that money on real food, hopefully nutritious food, and lose weight and get healthy.

Friend! I love potatoes. I have them several times a week with different veggies and by themselves. I don't think its possible for me to get sick of the potato, ever.

My husband and I are going through something similar except we eat totally different diets (I'm vegan, he's not). All you can do is be a good example for him. You can't change him. By you eating healthy and him seeing you lose weight and get healthy should help him want to do the same thing too, especially when he's seeing…

Why are you eliminating carbs from your diet?

This is absolutely ridiculous. If this were true then every Vegetarian/Vegan would be diabetic, and it just isn't so. I do agree simple sugars add to obesity which could lead to diabetes, but to claim that sugar is the cause of diabetes....is a lie. Everyone is brainwashed into thinking and pointing their finger at sugar…

No. Get it out if you need it out. I had mine removed a couple of years ago and it was one of the best things I've could've done. Your liver will still secrete bile to break down fats, it just won't be stored in a pouch (gallbladder) instead it will empty into your intestines. Your doctor should have went over this with…

Its NOT the CARBS! Its the FAT! Dietary fat inhibits insulin activity which gives rise to elevated blood sugars. Your hypothetical man is craving carbs because he needs glucose. We all need glucose. His brain needs glucose. Its not because he has an addiction to "carbs". We all have an addiction to carbs because we need it…

Its the meat.

Stop. Why are doing this? https://youtu.be/zHKxLTH_R5w https://youtu.be/DyRMrCysSh0 https://youtu.be/a8cji0edYAE

Yes, I think we all can relate. I wish you the best on your journey.

I regret not becoming Vegan sooner. It would have saved me a lot of pain and suffering from past illnesses, as well as trying to lose weight and get healthy too.

I had to make a permanent lifestyle change. Everything else that I have tried in the past I would lose and then gain all the weight back, and plus some. I got sick of being SICK! I got sick of gaining weight. I got sick of making excuses. I got sick of being fat. I got sick of being unhealthy. I got sick of feeling tired.…

Fat.

Recalculate your calorie intake. http://scoobysworkshop.com/accurate-calorie-calculator/ You may be eating more than you know, or eating at maintenance. Food scales help. Buy one and use it.

I don't agree with eating more protein. I agree with eating less. I do agree with eating more fiber, though.

Eat before you leave, if you know food is going to be served. Have a salad. Fruit. Bowl of cereal. Whatever. Or, you can bring your own food and share it with them, if you made enough. I would always carry something around with you for those "oh crap" moments. You can always say "no thank you", and no, that is not being…

Are you Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes?

Are you getting any better?

You are eating a lot of excess fat. I can tell by looking at your diary from today to a week back. Beans, brown rice, whole wheat pastas, and vegetables are great substitutes. Nuts are great, but are dense in calories and have a lot of fat. I would try to eliminate dairy altogether. Use Almond or soy milks, I think you…
