sometimes when I want mayo I mix like 5 grams of mayo + 10 grams of 0% greek yogurt, it's not the same but I like it! I also tried greek yogurt + dried, powdered garlic as a dip

me too!

I think that the first problem is that he is totally rushing, he already told you he likes you. The second is that you are co workers and it seems he has a role that is superior to you. The fact that he keeps asking about your non existent boyfriend also makes me assume that he's the type of man that thinks that a woman is…

I am in a similar place: I am 24 and I weight about almost 68 kgs/150 pounds (omg it seems a lot in lbs!). I put on weight slowly on the course of 5/6 years. In some periods I get more fat and I am super scared of the mirror --> I eat less for a while --> my jeans fit slightly better --> I stop caring about it --> the next…

My advice is coming from someone that does not run outside, so take it for what it is: I think you should go. if you will be able to finish, it will be great and you will feel very accomplished. if it will be really unconfortable, you can just stop running and get out of the trail, no? good luck!

Are you currently logging your food to assess your current calorie intake? maybe you could start increasing calories gradually so you will get used to it slowly, by adding 100 calories, then 100 more, etc... I use MFP to lose, not to gain, but logging my food helps me understand what habits are consistent to my goals, for…

do you not like chocolate very much or do you think your benefits from this choice are greater than the pleasure of chocolate? I am asking because I am curious, I love chocolate very much and I don't deprive myself from it (in small amounts) even in the periods where I cut calories, so I couldn't imagine giving it up!

I am not 100% caffeine free but in some periods I have very little, mostly because I don't really like coffee but I only drink it when I need to be awake. What is it that people don't believe?

I do not count water anymore because I am quite good at keeping hydrated, but when I did, I would count water and tea/herbal tea (which i take without sugar/milk etc). In the cold months I drink a lot of tea to keep warm so it makes at least half of my water intake on some days! I wouldn't count milk and juice because I…

my parents have chickens and turkeys: now that it's spring they are making lots of eggs. my favorite way of consuming them is to make some egg-heavy (protein heavy!) pancakes or muffins for breakfast: today we had pancakes with oat flour and 1 egg per person, for tomorrow I am baking chocolate chips oat muffins with…

I live with my mum and sister (21 yo) so it's not the same that with a partner, but in my house it's usually depending on a somewhat fair distribution on the workload and on one's individual schedule. For example if I have to leave the house right after lunch someone else will do the dishes regardless of who cooked, or if…

You should do what works for you! As a teenager, I followed IF without even knowing it: I had breakfast, a morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack and then no dinner. It worked for my schedule ( I had school from 8 a.m. to 1 or 2 pm and I was sedentary in the afternoon) and I was at my lowest weight ever. I was just used to…

As a picky eater (I like avocado though) I only have one thing to say: you don't have to eat it if you don't like it. you can have vitamins and minerals and healthy fats and antioxidants from foods you like. ;)

It's good that you asked your doctor's advice and it's perfectly safe to skip a period in that way once in a while. (I have been on the pill for almost 10 years now) I'd say your bloating is affected by the unusual period skip and by the stress. I usually experience bloating and water weight before and during my period,…

lowest: 54kg/119lbs (at 17 yo) highest: 71 kg/156,5 lbs current: 67kg/147,7 lbs goal: 60 kg/132 lbs I am female, 24 yo, 170cm

recovery from what?

Thanks everyone again! Today I did not do very well, but I just drank a Coke which somehow helped. Ginger tea, made with ginger root, didn't change much the situation though. I will look for ginger-based supplements similar to the ones some of you suggested, I will probably find different brands since I am in Italy. I will…

I will try to drink ginger and peppermint teas more consistently before considering medications! I do feel a lot better now after going to the gym (I simply walked 5k on the treadmill because I am totally out of shape) so I may be on the right path here :) Thanks everybody for your advice! :)

just for today I will go to the gym even if I will do a very lighy workout and even if it's been weeks since I last went :neutral:

1) the most important opinion about your body is your opinion: if someone makes you feel unconfortable with your body, it's them who are wrong, not you! 2) I have the impression that men have a different view of women bodies that women do, especially if it's a (potential) partner that they are looking at. I think that…

have you tried baking using fruit and/or xilitol as sweeteners?

If you don't have digestion issues, eating late at night shouldn't be a problem: the only thing that matters is the amount of calories in a day. In my country (Italy) having dinner at 9 or later is the norm for many people and nothing bad happens!

I am not really sure about what happened, do you and your doctor think you have a stomac flu or something? I think that the first thing you should focus on is recovering from this with rest and medicine, if needed. You should ask your doctor how to go back to eating solid foods when you will feel better. Also, there are…

I think that eating less leads to sleeping less, at least for myself... also maybe you need to adjust to a new balance

After losing 4 kg only, I see myself a bit thinner in the mirror and it feels so good :) mostly on the legs and belly, so I'm wearing a tight skirt tonight :wink:

the dukan diet and the fast metabolism diet

Maybe you can just make room in your calories for a reasonable serving of bread (one slice?) and still enjoy your salad if you like it!

today I had: porridge made with 30g oats + 50g grated apple + 60g egg whites + 5 g peanut butter 100 ml orange juice 150 ml skim milk it was around 300 calories

I think what OP is saying is that he/she will be hungry at lunch time regardless of the fact he/she has had a big or small breakfast. So it makes sense to save the calories for later I suggest a yogurt+fruit smoothie (you can prep ahead the fruit and yogurt and blend it in the morning), a small serving of overnight oatmeal…

I think nutella tastes good but it's the kind of food I can't eat in moderation, so I never purchase it. As for the palm oil, where I live there are other hazelnut spreads that taste better in my opinion and don't have palm oil, for example Novi, it has 45% hazelnut and tastes delicious, not "cheap" as nutella! it still…
