Boiled vegetables turned me into a carnivore.

Yellowstone is one of my favorite places on earth. If you haven’t gone, GO!

Non Scale Victory. It means a nice thing about losing weight other than the number on the scale.

Long term, sure. But on any given day you’re engaging in guesswork. Shrug. Have fun.

How else would you know sure if you are in a deficit?

The Mall of America (in Minnesota) has no heating system. It relies on skylights, latent heat from lights and machinery, and body heat from all the shoppers.

I’d like to take a giant steaming *kitten* on this article.

The hydrogen atoms in your glass of water are as old as the universe. (Well, slightly less. Hydrogen atoms were created about 300,000 years after the Big Bang. So about 13.5 billion years ago)

What’s the point of eating something that has been artificially ruined just so you can eat more of it?

Don’t bother. If you’re going to have 200 calories worth of ice cream, have the best!

Yes. I only use the app, not the web site but you should be able to change it either way. In the app click on More/Steps. It’s in there.

And once again I’ll mention Zevia. There are a dozen flavors or so and they use a natural, non caloric sweetener (stevia). My favorite flavors are grape, black cherry, ginger root beer, and Dr Zevia (their Dr Pepper knockoff). You can get single 16 Oz cans so you can try it first. Not everyone likes the flavor. And it’s…

Indeed. Don’t ruin it just so you can have more of it. Figure out the calorie payload and plan accordingly.

I reached my goal weight 3 years ago and have kept it off. But last year I was on a vacation for a week and upon returning was horrified to see I had gained 6 pounds! I kinda snapped and made sure I lost those 6 pounds right away (took about 3 weeks). So now I’m extra vigilant about my weight because it’s staggering how…

I should add to my own post that stevia is a natural sweetener. (The OP asked about artificial sweeteners) Stevia is the name of the plant it comes from.

I drink the diet 7-Up products (regular, cherry, and Sunkist orange) and Zevia, sweetened with stevia. I love the Zevia drinks, especially grape, but they are twice the price compared to the others. (At least)

There’s a vitamin K!?!

The flags on Kashyyyk are flying at half staff today...

TV laugh tracks were recorded in the earliest days of television. So most of the people you hear laughing are now dead.

Your body is made of meat.

Not sure if you meant that as a pun, but good one nonetheless.

There are more atoms in one grain of sand than there are grains of sand on all the world’s beaches.

Complacency. Being smug and thinking “I’ve got this all figured out”. Easily my biggest mistake. And I’ve made it multiple times.

What are the exact ingredients in your marinade? What few marinades I’ve made are mostly lemon juice or soy sauce and spices and seasoning. They are very low in calories. Its sauces like bbq or teriyaki (which are mostly sugar) that can get you on calories. A marinade should an acidic liquid that can work into the meat.

For every expert, there’s an equal and opposite expert.

You sure? That’s an aggressive rate and can be difficult to get adequate nutrition.

The one where my body lies on the beach and snoozes for two hours. Great program. Look into it.

A “protein salad”. I go to a salad bar and take only the items high in protein: diced ham, diced turkey, diced egg, diced bacon, and shrimp if they have it. No veggies, no dressing.

I lost an Irish Setter. Awww, but I *like* Irish Setters.

These things had more taste “back then”? Sorry, not buying it.
