Ah! Thank you! That's really helpful. Actually, everyone who's replied to my question has been helpful. I'll be looking for some of those things that I'm not already eating and trying to eat more of what I've already been eating.

That makes a little more sense and might be achievable. What is setian? (I tried looking it up and all I could find was followers of Set.)

I stopped into this thread to try and get an answer to the question in the title. I'm not a vegetarian - I eat and enjoy meat, but it's a struggle for me to get over the minimum 46 grams each day. If I shot for 1g per pound... that would be 3x that amount. How on earth would I do that, without drink protein shakes (which I…

Do what works for you. If skipping breakfast doesn't seem to do any harm, don't worry about it. For me, I need to eat something in the morning, or I don't feel well (light headed, easily distracted, etc.). I eat a light breakfast and a snack later and then lunch and I'm usually good for another several hours, when I have…

Personally, I only eat dessert on special occasions. It’s how I was brought up, possibly because my grandmother was diabetic and wasn’t allowed much sugar. In any case, I’ve never really been the type to eat dessert after every meal. Birthdays, anniversaries, at parties, etc. I will eat cake because that goes along with…

I usually drink just about 64 oz. of water - exactly what I'm hearing we're supposed to. That doesn't include anything caffinated I might drink, but I sometimes include fruit juices that I drink. Now that summer has come, I'm drinking more - sometimes 80-100 oz. Some of you would weep if you had my father's fluid…

While I didn't gain as dramatically as you have, I have experience with gaining weight while dieting and exercising. At the time, I only had a cup of coffee for breakfast (the same cup of coffee I've always had) and I didn't change how I ate dinner (to the best of my knowledge). I decreased my lunch - eating more healthy…

I put my headphones on and listen to fun music - usually something quick. Alternatively, I walk with someone who I can keep pace with. I have never walked on a treadmill. I either walk outside (if the weather is decent) or inside during the rain or bitter cold (like in a mall). The closest I come to walking on a treadmill…

I do the same things that others have said: I have a cup with a straw at my desk. I fill it at regular intervals - when I arrive for the day, after my first break, after lunch, after my second break and I make sure it's empty before I fill it. It's also a fun cup - there are cute foxes on it - so I love to see it on my…

I've found this entire discussion really interesting. When I first started trying to lose weight, I only increased my activity. I walked on my two fifteen minute breaks and I walked the last twenty minutes of my lunch break. 50 extra minutes of activity a day and I lost 20 pounds. Now, I have no doubt that the result of my…
