This is a very common feeling for a lot of people. I have done it to people too, who have lost a lot of weight and looking back, I do feel it is tacky and won't be doing it again. I can still compliment people in other ways if I want to that does not point out any specific feature they may be sensitive about, like simply…

You can also try rice noodles. They have a different texture and flavour but I personally love them. I still eat regular pasta but sometimes I have rice noodles instead, not because of their different nutrition profile, but just because they are tasty. They are much lower in calories so you can eat much more if you want…

That's not weird at all.

I probably get too much vitamin A, but I get it from mostly plant sources, so my body just dumps what it does not use. Too much from animal sources is not healthy, but plants based VitA is actually incomplete and you body manufactures what it needs. Anyway carrots and sweet potatoes! I eat lots of one or the other or both…

Poached eggs over mashed sweet potatoes or whole grain bread! Topped with a dash of salt(I love pink Himalayan salt) Cracked black pepper and paprika.

How much you need to eat and gain are dependent on your BMI as Dee said. I happen to have a BMI of about 45... ick. I am currently 5 months pregnant and have lost about 7 pounds since the start. That is right I have lost weight, and my doctor is very happy with me. As long as you are eating very nutritious food, getting…

Actually, I tend to find that ricotta is usually higher is calories, however it is way lower in sodium. Also you will get much less sodium with a no sauce pizza, which I imagine the ricotta one has none. It depends on what is most important to you. Personally, if over all health factor is my goal, i would choose the…

Alright this is like arguing with flat Earthers. Let's just ignore the people trying to convince us that food cannot be addictive and focus on the advice. OP have sugar cravings. They are real. How does she prevent them? that is the only thing we need to talk about here. As I said before, my advice is to abstain for a…

Good example. I guess sex addicts are never allowed to have sex again. Poor sods.

Some of you people don't seem to understand what addiction is. How about this. There are FOOD addicts. People who are simply addicted to eating... ANYTHING. Forget about specifics foods like sugar. They cannot stop themselves from eating. This addiction, however, can be overcome. And the way to do it is certainly not to…

Yes (about the sugar, not the crack). Not everyone can handle it, as I mentioned, but people can break the habit of over-consumption and then train themselves to consume reasonably. Once an addict, always an addict is not true. It is possible to become addicted again though if you let it get out of hand. It takes a certain…

Protein is important to feeling satiated. If you cut out meat, find another good protein source and get it in there or, even if you get enough calories, you may feel hungry again sooner than you would have if you had had meat or at least enough protein. Just carbs and veggies might not be enough to satisfy you for long.

Wow, ok you definitely can be addicted to sugar, and if you find yourself constantly craving it, then I suggest that you largely cut it out for a short time, then train yourself to enjoy in small amounts. I did this. Cut all sugary foods from your diet for at least two weeks, three or four may be better, but two minimum.…

1/4 cup hummus, half avocado, Romain lettuce, tomato, tsp red wine vinegar, wrapped in a whole grain tortilla. One of me go toos. Delicious!

At Costco today I noticed the Kirkland natural peanut butter. No salt, no sugar, and absolutely ZERO mgs of sodium. 200 cals per serving. I figured it was worth a try. So I just made myself a little half pb&j sammich with homemade, no sugar added blueberry jam, and it was definitely edible. So I think I can definitely…

I tend to average about a 300 to 500 cal deficit and day. I allow myself one, hearty dessert a week. Lately I have been having half of a muffin (the BIG ones from costco) with a half cup of ice cream. Come out to 400 to 500 calories. It is really satisfying and gives me something to look forward to each week. I have zero…

I did Atkins about 15 years ago when I was young and in high school. I cheated about once a week but besides that was pretty strict and I did lose about 30 pounds in about 9 months. I loved it and became an Atkins advocate. Recently I tried to do it again, and my experience was totally different. I was fine for the first…

I eat breakfast at 10am and dinner at 10pm. I still have the 12 hour fast going on and I eat well past 8. If you want to do the 12 hour fast, thing, choose your time to stop eating depending on when you eat breakfast. If, in your case, you eat breakfast at 8am, then 8pm is, indeed a good time for your last meal or snack of…

It totally depends on your lifestyle, your diet and your mind. For some people a cheat meal throws them off and they have a hard time getting back on track. Some people can handle one every once in a while. Some people go nuts with their "cheats" while others keep their cheats sensible. I give myself one cheat a week. I…

I am not really interested in fancy recipes like black bean brownies or stuff like that that tries to mimic tasty stuff. I have no trouble avoiding processed foods with the way I do things, but if I try to incorporate "Fake" versions of yummy stuff, I fear it will make me crave the real thing. I also won't eat sugar…

Eggs actually have a lot of sodium in them. I eat two poached each morning and that gives me about 300 mg sodium. Meats do have some, though not a terrible amount, though I do already eat meat and by adding more I will be adding more sodium, when I am already at my limit. I guess it is looking like lots of oil is the best…

Just click on an item in the "my foods" list and in the upper right corner you will see options to edit or delete.

I love eggs any and every way, but lately I have been poaching them. Then I put them atop a piece of whole grain bread, or some mashed sweet potato and top with just a touch of pink salt and black pepper. I like them cooked until the yolks are mostly firm, yet just a little runny. Runny yet thick. That is the best! I don't…
