If I'm short on calories during the evening , I will have yogurt and maby some flax seed and walnuts; If I ate my limit of calories then I just go to bed without anything else.

I cut out most of my drinking and am eating more food and getting stronger and still loosing over a pound a week. alcohol just has too many empty calories but I still enjoy a couple drinks during the weekend. It was a very bad habbit for me. l now drink lime flavored carbonated water and enjoy the dollars I'm not spending.

I try not to eat anything big. that's what got me in trouble. all my meals are small portions. I try to spread my protein throughout the day.

I am now trying to keep my carbs under 50grams daily. Opposit of Dr's advice. We will see. '

my cholesterol went down significantly by keeping my carbs under 100grams and my protein over 100. I was told i could stop taking the zetia they perscribed on my last visit. I never took the zetia after I read about it. Dr's advice was to up my carbs to 150 daily. Yea right.............I also lost 40 lbs in 6 months which…

why would you need a book to eat meat, fowl, fish, eggs, veggies and some fruit

I don't eat them back. I don't even enter them anymore. I kind of guess at my portion sizes and allow my exercise calories to make up the difference. It works for me . I might be eating less that I think at times. It all evens out for me.

also, once you grind it ; make sure to referigerate

I grind mine in a coffee grinder. I put a tbsp on my yogurt and I add flax to my protein drink and if i have oatmeal; I add a tbsp after it has cooked

never put protein powder in my coffee but I love instant coffee in my chocolate protein powder drink

a plate of lettuce and tomatoes topped with a can of tuna with red wine vinegar and crystal hot sauce

trying to cut down on carbs; so i cut back on anything made with white flour. I was really missing my big plate of spaghetti and meatballs. I broke down and purchased a spiralizer. I made my first batch of zuccini spaghetti and all I can say is wow. My wife is irish and she never really liked pasta that much but she loved…

i went into the army back in the 60's at a weight of 190. When i got out two years later I was 165. C rations back then had over 2000cal. each. plenty of c-rats never hungry just exausted and sometimes too tired to eat. I never want to go on a real military diet again . Stick with healthy foods and keep track of your cico.

quest bars, greek yogurt with added walnuts, cottage cheese w/berries, sardines and sliced tomatoes, hummus and carrot sticks, quacamole with veggies, peanut butter and celery, hard boiled eggs ; just to name a few.

I forgot to mention that I read about tests that claimed , if you drain and rinse canned beans you can reduce its sodium content by 40%. I love canned chick peas in my hummus.

If you drain and rinse canned beans; are you removing most of the sodium?

thanks, I set my goal at 20% carbs which came out to app. 75 grams. I'll try this for a while to see how it works

double chocolate is great with almond milk and vanilla is great if mixed with fruit or veggies

thanks, I just got back from costco with two boxes of 30 and will test one out in a few minutes. I plan to have one a day for a couple months at least while i get over this low carb eating.

just had a blood test and my b12 was low, but not in the danger zone, and they want me to come in for a shot. this happened before and i started taking a supplement. this time after the shot I'm going to start taking a product called zippfiz which is very high in b12 and see what happens

I would check the ingredients of turkey bacon before you decide to eat it or not. I know I will never eat it.

I usually have this for lunch 5 or 6 times a week, which is usually post workout. almond milk, vanilla whey protein powder, cup of spinach and either a half or whole avacado and tbsp of ground flax seed. Keeps me full till dinner.

3 parts evoo, 1 part vinegar of choice, 1 tbsp dijon mustard, 3 cloves chrushed garlic, tsp italian spices. shake well and pour. Needs no refigeration.

La Croix is just carbonated water with natural flavors added. It helped me get off the beer and salty snacks. the only downside is the price.

1scoop of vanilla protein powder, 1 cup of frozen fruit, 1 cup of almond milk, 1 tbsp of ground flax seed, 1/2 cup water.

large apple and a can of la croix does the trick

1cup chicken broth, 1/2 cup brown rice, 1tsp olive oil, 1/2 cup peas, simmer 20 min. covered, rest 5 min..

just had a gnc lean shake burn shake with 1/2 avacado and water. I like to use this as a meal replacement. It is loaded with the protein and fats and fiber I need and it keeps me full for a long time. I also drink plenty of water after. I use this a couple times a week. I now won't eat untill my late afternoon barbecue.
