Wow. Amazing. And beautiful.

Weight loss is a slow process and it is easily frustrating. The best way I have done it is - eat healthy (veggies, lean meat of mostly fish or chicken, grains and dark rice -- brown rice for example, no sweets, no ice cream, and cut back on the cheese -- my personal vice) - 30 mins of cardio exercise per day

The only guilt I feel throwing food away is the thought of those going hungry at night and the waste in money it costs me. Other than that, eat it or throw it away... when it is gone it is gone. Food is biodegradable it will eventually become food again in the great circle of life :smile:

Don't be too offended, these terms are often used together by medical professionals. http://www.atlanticare.org/index.php/understanding-obesity/what-is-morbid-obesity However, given your height and weight you are probably better described as obese rather than morbidly obese. I am obese (meaning I am heavier than I should…

Good points, not snarky ... reasonable conversation is how I learn .... I use the term empty calories as foods that supply calories without any other substantial nutritional value. Exactly like eating a spoon full of sugar vs eating a calorie equivalent about of a sweet fruit, the latter being better of course. Yes, we all…

Heavy cream has little or no taste (unless sweetened for whipped cream deserts for example). Heavy cream, though, has texture... it is what gives soups or other puree's the 'creamy' quality. Heavy cream is the concentrated fats from milk products which is generally all saturated as well as high in cholesterol and adds…

Good idea.... I found another that uses low fat milk, chicken broth and wheat flour.... much less sat fats, and of course lower cholesterol. http://www.cookinglight.com/healthy-living/weight-loss/healthy-heavy-cream-substitute

Yep, I have never tried without butter.... next time I will give that a shot... much healthier without the butter.

How is it healthier? It's lower cals?[/quote] Mostly less cholesterol -- about 80 mg lower for equivalent volume, slightly lower fat and lower sat fats by a few grams. I did not claim it was healthy, just healthier than heavy cream. Take out the butter and it is much healthier.

Wow, congrats.... great job. You look like a whole different person.

Yes, that looks like about 4 ounces of chicken. 4 ounces is slightly smaller than the fist of an average persons hand, 3 oz is about the palm of your hand. Here is a nifty little chart to help: http://www.gardenstatenutritionandwellness.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/hand-portion-sizes.jpg

fat and/or sugar are used by the body as calories and calories are calories (units of energy). If you ingest more calories than your body consumes then you put on weight. It so happens than foods high in sugar are also high in calories, similarly, food with high fat content are high in calories. For example, broccoli is a…

You can (and should) do more research to help answer your question. Carbohydrates is simply a class of molecules that contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in particular ratios and are metabolized by your body. Sugars are a particular group of carbohydrates. Again, more research on your (an my part) is probably best before…
