  • My restarts usually have to do with cutting the quantity/volume of food. So, I try to load up on the zero impact veggies (like mushrooms, spinach, zucchini). I like my food warm, so I'll microwave the mushrooms and add whatever spice I am craving- like cumin and some salt. And I try to fill up on that and broth or water…

  • I think you are being too hard on yourself. Let's say you stick with this for a year - you will have gotten more toned from the walking and dropped at least 18 pounds. That is realistic, healthy and smart. It will also be 2 pants sizes. For weight loss and new patterns to stick, you need to be committed to the long game. I…

  • Honey, we are ALL workin' on somethin'! Please know that many of us who are "in shape" today, may not have always looked like that and everyone's "shape" is different. You might want to use the gym for information, too - like what seems to work - and not work for different individuals. GO FOR IT. Take the job.

  • Try "Just Bananas" - they are not fried but freeze dried. A fun and good source. 1oz = 110 calories & 470 mg per svg. Much higher than regular bananas. Almonds & rice bran are really good sources too. Besides lots of veggies, lentils/legumes, & quinoa are also good sources. Excess caffeine, coffee, & salt are enemies of…

  • Since this is purely hypothetical :-), I think due to the sodium intake in fast food your weight loss would be slower or you could actually gain weight from water retention. But, overall, I don't believe a calorie = calorie in terms of usage and storage by our bodies. I don't need a scientific study to know that my body…

  • I think losing weight comes with frustrations so that's when mental strength comes into play. Stay motivated and decide what your overall goals are and keep plugging away. Every day. If you have time to read or do research on exercise and nutrition (e.g., Body for Life for Women), you'll find that you need healthy fats in…
