  • You don't like water because your taste buds have adjusted to the taste of "artificial crap". That is not a put down but a reality. I used to weight 450lbs and while I still struggle with weight I have made serious changes to my life in order to normalize. I used to be addicted to soda and the taste of sweet. I drank 2-3 6…
    in what to do if you hate water? Comment by Reignfyre March 2012
  • Hi! I am a vegetarian now 20+ years and like you I used to eat crappy vegetarian food. I looked at your diaries and I see several problems. 1) You are not eating often enough. You are slowing down your metabolism. I am severely hypoglycemic and they were going to put me on medication if I didn't get it under control.…

  • I understand a psychologists being so expensive. Mental health care is not taken seriously in our society or honored (although no health care is right now). I have BED (binge eating disorder), bulimia and body dysmorphic disorder and have had them over 30 years now (although I started out anorexic). I have tried…

  • I occasionally crave chocolate but want it to be healthy. I make a protein shake with Hershey's baking chocolate and truvia. I can make it with milk, water, protein powder, yogurt, peanut butter or a combo of any of the above. If you use water and truvia it is almost no calories. I usually mix it with something though.

  • All eating increases your metabolism, period. It absolutely does jump start your metabolism. You are breaking a several hour fast where your bodies metabolism has slowed down. Don't eat = slowed metabolism. The fastest way to gain weight is to slow your metabolism down. A large part of the calories you use everyday is used…
    in Really dumb question... Comment by Reignfyre February 2012
  • YES!!! Not eating breakfast will totally screw with your metabolism. If you are not hungry when you wake up it is because you are eating too late in the day & too much at night and you are doing that because you aren't eating breakfast!!! Study after study shows those who skip breakfast eat more total calories in a day…

  • My trainer would say it is impossible to go over with protein! LOL! But eating too much meat can be bad (for you arteries and its fatty). How about some lean protein? Greek yogurt (non-fat) is seriously good for you, lots of protein and good probiotics. Get it without all the sugar. Fage yogurt 0% has a great texture and…

  • Sounds like you need a metabolic. I am trying to build muscle and I have trainers and do a lot of reading on the subject. I am also severely hypolycemic. My doctor said I needed protein before I go to bed so my blood sugar doesn't drop too low. He suggested yogurt (no fruit...blech). Then one of my trainers suggested I eat…

  • This program is about progress and not perfection. Do you want to binge...NO! Is there a difference between having an extra 1/2 cup of green beans and an entire cake! Oh hells yes! I know people who will beat themselves up about having too much "healthy" food. For me that is not the way to work this program. I would rather…

    in Welcome to OA on MFP and a little about me Comment by Reignfyre November 2011
  • Hi everyone! I have been in OA several years but had a relapse and now I have 61/2 months of abstinence. I used to weight 450lbs and have weighed between 180-300 for several years (at least I kept off 150lb! Celebrate the success, don't dwell in the failures!) Anyway, I am so lucky to have the greatest OA fellowship where…
