I dont know how you guys eat it. Ive tried before and the texture is too gross for me, would take me soo long to finish a cup. Tried also the chia pods with different flavors with same results. I also didnt notice that it decreased my hunger.

Am I the only one that thinks they taste really artificial and not that great. I love snacking and if I wasnt dieting would be eating full bags of all kinds of stuff, but M&Ms doesnt do it for me for some reason.

For everyone that is doing the mason jar salads.. Do the salads including lettuce keep fresh for the whole week M-F ? I am always scared of vegetables spoiling, I usually only prep salads for 3 days, but would be great if I could do for the whole week. Love the mason jar idea but scared of opening it on Friday and finding…

I am currently eating 1500: Breakfast: oatmeal Snack: nuts Lunch: salad + protein Snack: fruits Dinner: protein + grains + vegetable I think the key for me is to avoid bread it adds so much calories and leaves me hungry so I would end up eating more. Also space out your meals 3-4 hours.

I am pretty mindful that I lack discipline. I can totally be aware of my goals, respect myself, and understand that I should not overindulge but I will still eat the 2nd cookie because the cravings are strong, But I know there are people like you who are lucky enough to control it. Whether you are calling it mindfulness or…

I think when insulin resistance isnt involved it may be easier to overcome pcos. I wasnt overweight, but I became heavier than what my body was used to and a dr told me that losing weight would help me and anyone with pcos. Strangely my last results no longer showed pcos even though i did not lose weight. The only thing I…

My favorite is when I've lost weight in the past (healthy weight loss) and I was told you are too skinny now , you need to gain weight. People will always have something to say. Everyone likes to judge and gossip... They just need something to talk about. As long as you feel good and you know you are healthy, just ignore.

Maybe you have dental work that needed to be completed or you have some situation specific to your teeth? It doesnt make sense why they would want you to come in more often if the insurance wont pay them for the additional appointments. I hate this about some drs, when drs accept to take your insurance they need to accept…

I decided to go gf long time ago because some of the symptoms I get are similar to yours. I dont get those symptoms with gf steel cut oatmeal, have been eating it for long time. Not sure if it will work for you but thats my suggestion.

But there is medical research and reasoning behind why there is a link. The link is not.. You take antibiotics and it automatically adds 10 pounds. Instead the link with antibiotics is that it affects hormones, specifically the ghrelin and leptin hormones which control appetite and control the feelings of satiety. Because…

This article doesnt apply to everyone. 1 cookie for me sets off intense cravings for more, which would require discipline which I suck at. So no cookies for me. I have the same response with bread if I eat a sandwich 1 day, I end up craving it the next day and the next along with other carbs and junk. If I cut all these…

Are you exercising? It is strange but I find myself more hungry on days I do not exercise.

Everyone looks so good, congrats! Besides the weight loss, it is amazing how much younger everyones face looks in their after pics.

I've noticed this also when I go in the mornings I do it on auto pilot. If I wait to go in the evenings I start analyzing if I reallyy want to go, or I'm too tired, or if I have other things to do.

I am not a morning person but I love going to the gym in the morning. I have a problem making it a habit because I do not go to sleep early enough. Morning workouts puts me in a good mood and give me energy. I hate having to think about it all day that I need to go to the gym later, this way I get it out of the way. Also I…

Im sorry if I am wrong or offend someone. But isnt canola oil supposed to be one the most unhealthiest. I stopped using it years ago.

Joining.. Currently at 152

Ive read avocado oil is suppsed to be healthiest. Im currently using grapeseed oil but will be switching over once i finish the bottle.

I think there are other issues here besides the different eating "habits". I think sometimes when you lose interest in someone random things that usually wouldn't matter become big problems. Maybe you lost interest in him in general and are using the differences in diet as an excuse or it is something that irritates you on…

This is good advice. I was also feeling hungry often and realized it had something to do with sugar. The sugar went up high and then crashed too low. I think the key to staying at your goal weight is to keep your sugar stable, no ups and downs. So eating small portions often helps. Eating too much carbs and sugar will make…

After boiling take the pot place in sink and leave cold water running over them for several minutes- maybe 10 mins. This always works for me. (I guess this is similar to an ice bath- but I don't have ice readily available)

I like the way salmon tastes so I bake it plain. I just add salt, pepper, and oil. Sometimes maybe a lemon.

Huge thanks for this recommendation. I think one of the most comfortable sneakers I have tried. Are there any other ones from UA that you like? I would get another pair.

Sorry that happened :/ Dont stress over it. Take your time to heal so that eventually you can try it when you are better. Good luck

Sugar is a normal part of a diet. It is not a drug so I think you should stop comparing it to a drug. It is okay to eat fruits. Did you totally eliminate all fruits, vegetables, and anything else with sugar from your diet or anything that converts into sugar in your body? I didn't think so. The problem is with processed…

My reasoning behind it. . At least this is how it works for me. Treats with sugar (cookies, candy, dessert) switch on cravings for me and I end up craving more and more. With fruits I can have a little and not over indulge. Your analogy although makes a good point is not very accurate.. Fruits are not the same as sugar…

Really one of the best cooking shows ever.

Eat fruits to satisfy sugar cravings

I know this isn't a solution that works for everyone but what helps me break an addiction is to not allow it at all. There are treats that are always off limits to me because I know if I start having 1 ill crave more and other things. Also once you stop having it for several days you stop craving it, so you just need to…

Not extreme heart problems, but dont want her to overexert herself. All suggestions are welcomed
