Why are some of you being so condescending? If it's a major diet change, yeah, there will be side effects...

Very helpful and not at all condescending. 10/10 post.

I have heard that adding almond milk to coffee makes it come out yucky. Have you had this experience with the creamer?

Who says OP is guessing? Didn't say she wasn't measuring before adding to her plate...

I try not to prep more than 4 or 5 days in advance. This way I don't get sick of food and if something comes up (dinner at a friends house, stuck at work late) and I miss a day or two of that meal, I'm not stuck eating/throwing away really old food.

I hate salad and I've given up on eating it. I would rather just eat a bowl of veggies.

Good for desserts if you feel like indulging. Ice creams and custards.

It took me a long time to nail down my emotional eating problem. I knew what emotional eating was, but I always thought of it as "I'm upset so I will eat and then I will feel better because I like eating" and that's not what I was doing. I finally pinned it down- I binge when I'm upset not to make myself feel better, but…

Why is everyone on here so quick to tell people they don't agree with their dieting habits? Does it matter why she's avoiding carbs? Let her do her thing

I like to blend black beans with some garlic and lime juice and eat it like a dip. Yum!

I tried it. Mixed it into my oatmeal and barely got any flavor. Not for me

Once I bought fat free plain yogurt.... WHAT A MISTAKE. Had to throw all of it out. I'll stick with regular or flavored.

Not so much taste but I eat so much less than I did before... so on bad days when I'm eating a large amount of something filling I simply CANT gorge myself like I used to or I'll get sick.

I love Turkey Hill diet iced teas if you have them by you. Lots of good flavors.

My local store had signs up!!

I'm thinking about bringing this snack that I like: cucumber slices with red pepper hummus and black olives on top, sprinkled with feta. Easy, fancy looking, and hopefully won't break the calorie bank!

I'll drink a cup of chicken broth, or this Borsht cocentrate I found. If I'm STILL hungry after that I will eat something more substantial.

Add me!!

Thanks for your super super helpful information :)

I haven't done it a day in advance but I have logged all my meals I plan to eat for the day first thing in the morning. For me it's the same thing- not worrying about straying from my plan!

Sometimes if I make a rich soup I'll throw in a tablespoon of that into the eggs. Did this the other day with a roasted red pepper soup and Yum!!

My goal is to put good food into my body :) which is why I'm worried about vitamins.

I can never prep for 7 days ahead. My veggies get soggy... I get suspicious about my protein... and I get sick of it. I usually do 4 or 5 days ahead.

Cheat days work for some people. Let's not be judgemental, kids...

You just have to find what works for you. People always talk about the importance of snacking on a diet so as not to restrict yourself, but for me personally if snack I can't control myself! So I stick to 3 meals a day no snacks and it's been keeping me on track more than anything else anyone has reccomended.

Also just a note... We don't know OPs situation here. Not everyone has access to a stove, or to huge amounts of fridge or freezer space. All well and good to say cool a huge batch of something and freeze it but that requires a stove, large pots, and freezer space which not everyone has or can afford right now. Just saying.…

Not being able to afford food is not really a good diet :)

Anyone saying it is cheaper to eat healthy has obviously never been poor... Sure, maybe it's cheaper in the long run to purchase health food and ingredients in bulk. But if I have 10$ to my Name I'm not thinking about the long run. I don't have 20$ to spend on a huge bag of rice that would admittedly last me a long time,…

If someone tags me in a photo and I feel myself start to get upset I just remind myself that : this picture was meant to capture a happy time in my life, not how big or thin I am And then I close the website and try not to let myself think about it anymore

Doesn't raw rice have a lot of bacteria? Sounds like an easy way to get food poisoning I've BEEN THERE from rice my friend not good
