you are assuming that weighing and estimating are only going to give a 12 calorie variance. 12 calories is deminimis but the variance between weighing and visually estimating can be much more than 12 calories.

how often does the motor kick in? usually after about 20 minutes is average. Maintaining the temperature depends on the quality/condition of the door seal and the volume of the contents. A fridge with very little in it will lose temperature faster than a full fridge and a worn or damaged door seal will lose temp quickly.

who said it was bad? a wrestler trying to cut weight for a weigh in or a person wanting to get slimmed for a photo shoot is not going to want creatine in the days before the event as it can cause water retention. Creatine is not bad but not everyone wants it in their regimen

bold is boldly wrong

my first priorities would be getting a handle on your "alcohol abuse" then your "terrible eating". If after that and if the hives are still an issue, see a new doctor

keep doing what you are doing until the bolded part changes. then do something else.

steaming or roasting does not add anything bad, does not destroy any nutrients and can bring out the flavor as opposed to raw

torture? ok, frozen veggies are tough. Microwave for a few minutes, season a bit or not, then eat.

yes...The Killing is good. Also, for a family type deal "Heartland" a canadian show about a young horse trainer and living on a horse ranch is pretty good with alot of episodes

bent out of shape? no. The OP. to me anyway, was saying that while she loves bread, it eats up alot of her calories. And bread does have alot of calories (usually) This whole thread will of course turn into a "everything in moderation" thread.

whatever. I interpreted her meaning of "bad" as in "high calorie"

I suppose if you added a bunch of spinach that could be a meal but I wouldnt do just eggs and butter exclusively.

read the original post. I did not read that as her saying it was "bad" but that it ate up alot of her calories.

some blueberries and strawberries is my fruit. I eat alot of spinach, broccoli, cauiflower.

no. But I cut back on carbs very gradually as I was in no hurry to get into ketosis. I was at about 100 for quite a while then cut down from there. Neverr had any of the keto flu symptoms.

yep...not many people even think about tipping the cook but it sure made my day when it happened

true. I once cooked at a steak house and we had a large wait staff. Many people think it is an easy job and we went through a lot of wanna be waiters/waitresses. The base pay was nothing really and the tips make or break the newbies quickly. A really good waiter/waitress can make the whole restaurant experience as good or…

since that will NEVER happen....tip the service people when you feel they gave you good service. Done.

I would guess you have never been "wait staff" or a hair stylist. They do not usually control the price. Eh?

it is a fact that over thinking specifics causes significant psychosis. Usually peaking at 11:59 p.m. unless you have passed out from drinking 1000 calories of Jim Beam.

no, eating every time we want to or feel hunger is why most people are on this site. feeling hunger does not always mean you have to eat, especially if you are trying to lose weight. Hunger feelings can subside even without eating. Drinking water, getting some exercise, even just 5-10 minutes, can get rid of hunger until…

while it is a concern that those who sponsored the research can benefit from it does not automatically mean the research is faulty. Porsche and BMW spend millions on advertising and that does not make their claims of "great car" any less true.

you and your baby's doctor is the first choice. A lot of The people here cannot even agree on whether to drink soda or eat after 7 pm. Please do not get your pregnancy information from strangers on the internet.

you seem to find fault with many of my posts. I did not mean it to be patronizing.

for the person brand new to taking some control of their health and deciding to finally lose weight, whether from a doctor's advice or peer pressure or just some sort of self awakening, the power of positive thinking cannot be emphasized enough. If a person believes and is committed to not eating after 7 pm, or cutting…

the sad truth is, the people who make bogus claims are not even going to read this thread because the title had the word research in it. It would be nice if a forum existed that followed the OP's guide, but MFP is not it.
