  • her ability to make him
  • i feel the same way. They're honestly just *meh*. They're only really good if you heat them up in the toaster oven.
  • This is a fantastic idea and a nice change of pace from just tuna salad. i eat tuna almomst every day so these are definitely being made ASAP!
  • It's not going to shoot your body fat %age up just because. It depends on your diet. Since you want muscle mass, you should be eating at a bit of a surplus. You WILL gain body fat because that's just how our bodies work. You can, however, take the fat off AFTER finishing BB. You can change your diet to both gain muscle/fat…
  • Have you been lifting weights already? If so, are you lifting heavy? BodyBeast is a crazy intense program so if you're just starting off with weightlifting, it might not be the best thing to do right away. Assuming you HAVE been lifting, it sounds like you can go with "Huge Beast". Your goal is basically to gain as much…
  • Dude. That's a million dollar idea! The Cauliflower Cleanse- we could DEFINITELY get Dr. Oz behind that! Tell him it's actually a relative of the green coffee bean..
  • DOCTOR. NOW. I'm a brand new trainer at a gym and it's my first time as a trainer. As others have mentioned it is INEXCUSABLE for a trainer to push you that hard, especially not knowing you, your history, your fitness level, or limits. Report him or her to the fitness manager. It is very dangerous to do what they did to…
  • The aftermath in the bathroom is much scarier....
  • Haha, yeah that's more than likely why! As someone else mentioned, cooking it too long can strip it of all it's awesome nutrients (true of any veggie). Just lightly sautee in coconut oil (or olive, I just like coconut) and you should retain most of the nutrients :)
  • It is SOOOOO delicious! My favorite way to cook is in 1 tsp extra virgin coconut oil and let it cook for about 10-12 mins on low-medium heat, covered. I use it as a base to my dinners and lunches and top it with chicken and feta cheese! ETA:: KALE IS BITTER! YES! IT'S TRUE! That's why you need to cook it. Include it…
  • Asks the same person who wanted to know how much weight she'd lose if she only ate 800 calories per day. OP is essentially looking to net zero calories per day, it would seem, by burning 900+ calories on that VLCD. Let's not encourage such madness, ok? Ok.
  • Easy answer is yes, it's possible (to an extent) but all you have to do is look at the ingredients list to understand how they made it like that. There's literally nothing real in their products aside from maybe vinegar and "spices". I have been known to use their "peanut spread" on occasion but I won't be purchasing it…
  • Nine Inch Nails: Tension Tour (2013) BEYOND WORDS.
  • I.LOVE.YOU. This is the review that the entire internet needs to read so we can all be on the same page about these books!
  • YES. She walks into his playroom and you're all like, "oh shiz, this is gonna get HOT," and then the whole time he does the same thing because she's too afraid for anything else. The premise was there but instead of fleshing out some scenes more she concentrated on making sure we FULLY understood the implications of the…
  • I actually just finished reading it. I opened the book fully understanding that it was supposedly poorly written and not expecting much but some good smut. I knew I was in for trouble when in the first chapter of the book, there was a full two-page description of an interaction of a secretary fetching the main character an…
  • Really not sure what that even means but thanks for the well wishes! Check out the blog to understand what it's actually about.
  • Try looking on craigslist for a "new" (used) elliptical. Be careful about meeting people to buy anything but don't forget that you can find some great things on there!
  • I started about three weeks ago! I'm so excited to see this topic. Feel free to friend me for study support etc!
  • 1. I only use small utensils. I despise going to restaurants where they have gigantic utensils (read: normal size). I ONLY USE SMALL UTENSILS. I can't stress this enough. 2. I don't eat soup. Soup is not a food. Soup is a liquid. The only soups that count as a SEMI-food are ones like New England Clam Chowder (only New…
  • The only foods I actually cut out are ones that make my ulcerative colitis flare up (pain beyond description). Even those I will have once in awhile, just a very small amount. I have also found that my body functions best when I get my carbs from more natural sources (or unprocessed, at least) and concentrate on getting…
  • Would anyone be interested in a new bipolar group to receive/give support? The response to this topic surprises me and makes me so glad to see others who know what i'm going through! I created a group awhile ago but it never got off the ground. I would really love if everyone joined and maybe we can have a little support…
  • I'm so sorry to read about your experience with Seroquel and Depakote. Those are the two medications that work for me consistently. If I miss even two days of one of these medications, I immediately notice a difference in my mood/ability to cope. I agree that you cannot fully control bipolar with diet & exercise but it's…
  • Thanks for sharing this story. I can definitely relate and this- "My Shrink who controls my meds told me I have an incurable disease due to a chemical imbalance in the brain, he also told me I was born this way, but I can live a good life on a stable medication and vitamin regimen plus exercise to help with my self…
  • Really great advice! Everyone is different. You made some great points and I am glad you are not opposed to medical help when you need it!
  • Agree- this is complete misinformation and puts so many people in danger. Bipolar individuals tend to have problems staying on their medications anyway and to tell them it is "curable" in any way is downright untrue. Bipolar disorder is a chemical imbalance in your brain. You do not make the necessary chemicals to keep…
