Good on you, hunting is THE most ethical way to eat meat as well as being a necessity for pest control, I always wished I could get more people to understand that. I don't hunt myself because licenses are expensive but I know enough people who do that it's not unusual for me to wind up with so much deer sausage I have to…

They're spicy and have all that fiber, a little goes a long way.

Go with whatever you think tastes better, just in moderation. Either olive oil or real butter for me, even if they're more expensive. I had enough margarine growing up and if that's all that was available I'd rather do without. All the stuff that's come out about diacetyl makes me kind of wary anyhow, although I suppose…

30 lbs since November after a couple of false starts. Could be more but I've been pretty casual about it and don't do anymore exercise than walking.

e: ^ I don't really do low calorie dressings, I just use either lemon juice and olive oil or this 'zesty lime' italian dressing Kraft makes, it's like 60 calories for two tablespoons which is pretty negligible. Didn't realize there was an actual term for this but I do this all the time. I moved to two meals a day in a six…

Sardines are delicious, sustainable, and as a bonus don't give you mercury poisoning. Really wish the world could move away from their tuna obsession before they're literally fished into extinction to provide tasteless shredded meat in a can.

https://www.menshealth.com/nutrition/a19543462/sylvester-stallone-rocky-diet/ He admits it was stupid but there have been days I haven't eaten up to 1200 simply because I didn't feel like it, on days where I'm just eating veggies and chicken breast it seems unnecessary. It's not sustainable in the long term but people can…

Er....I see you've never gotten ahold of a rotten egg. Not that they go bad immediately after the date if they've been properly refrigerated the whole time but I always do the pitcher of water test to be sure.

You'd have to weigh it. But I really don't think it's anything to stress too much about when the entire container is just 35.

The whole 'breakfast is the most important meal of the day' thing was created and pushed by advertisers in the 40s anyhow, and the whole idea of three square meals a day is entirely a social invention to begin with. If you're not hungry, don't eat. Look at it as being able to eat a more filling and satisfying meal later…

Oh my goodness, this thread was made for me. Oreos are the one junk food item I haven't been able to jettison from diet. But original only for sure. A little TMI here maybe but I can always tell I'm fixing to start my period when I get those cravings for sweets and 'you know six Oreos and a glass of milk is a perfectly…

I'm curious about this too, I fry eggs fairly often and most of the oil is left in the pan, plus I set them on a paper towel when I take them out, so I've never been sure what it adds.

I guess with my earlier post I was assuming there was a microwave somewhere but that may not be the case. Nothing wrong with an ordinary sandwich and fruit then, or something like crackers and chicken salad (if the mayo in the latter doesn't take too big a hit out of your calorie total) but I've never liked having a big or…

Most often I just bring a container with some combination of sauteed chicken and veg. Roasted zucchini or asparagus or anything I feel like throwing together the night before. Lentils are also a nice filling option and easy to make.

People here have seemed fairly informed about nutrition as far as I've seen, I'd find it hard to believe anyone could take an article seriously if it implied a keto diet required unhealthy eating like low fiber and processed meats. And I did take this part of Lemon's post to mean that's specifically what he was referring…

Maybe try just cutting the obvious things like bread and rice and pasta and see what kind of results you get from that? Going to the extreme end of keto just cold turkey might not be necessary.

The advice to go for a walk first was a good one, that does wonders for me when I'm stressed and I feel great afterwards instead of sluggish from too much food or guilty. But if you still want to treat yourself afterwards, then do it. Pretty sure most of us are tracking calories here, don't stop doing that just because you…

Meh, I'm standing by everything I said. A fun activity sometime is walking into a grocery store today and finding literally any packaged food without HFCS in it. It's dirt cheap because of government subsidies for corn farmers and gets put into literally everything, even things such as bread are ridiculously sweet by…

It's all pretty much been covered, but literal syrup wasn't being pumped into everything everyone ate, people cooked normal meals at home out of raw ingredients instead of eating out every day and ideas of portion sizes weren't as wildly skewed. More activity, especially for children who were encouraged to actually play…

The site takes into account the amount your body burns just by normal daily function (the calories you'd burn just by existing even if you were completely bed bound), plus an estimate based on the activity level you put in. Once that's factored in, the math comes out to you needing 1200 calories a day to lose 2 lbs a week.…
