i've never tried freezing overnight oats but in theory i dont see why you couldn't. maybe just let them defrost overnight in the fridge before you want to use them? i'd try freezing a small part of a batch and seeing what happens when you defrost it before doing it as routine.

steel cut whole oats take almost 20 minutes to cook to a nice texture like you'd get with instant oats or quaker ones. steel cut oats have the whole grain inside still while instant oats or rolled oats do not. it's similar to the difference between eating whole grain breads and white bread. overnight oats allow people to…

hey, i'm also a new vegan! after seeing a few shocking documentaries & doing my own research i've decided this is the best choice for me. feel free to add me!! :)

hey! i'm also a new vegan (day 2 for me). feel free to add!

thanks so much!! looking forward to some delicious meals

im OBSESSED with eating boiled eggs (just the egg whites), peanut butter, and apple. i take the yolk out of the boiled egg (like a deviled egg) and fill the middle with peanut butter. then i put apple slices on top. oooo its sooo good. people think im really wierd tho.

i'm doing 1200 cals/day as well! i find the trick is keeping meals between 300-400 cals and trying not to snack too much, or eating low-calorie snacks. feel free to add me but please include a short message (1 sentence is fine :))

As stated above, unnecessary. MFP is supposed to help motivate and support each other, and for a sensitive subject like weight loss and food, comments like that can trigger an emotional response. I used to binge as a way of comforting myself when I felt that people thought I was fat or if I felt fat that day. Fat is not a…

I'm turning 19 in a few days and a college freshman (in canada, so i can drink). here are a few things i've learned to cut caloric intake on alcohol: 1. clean alcohols like vodka and gin have the lowest calorie count (also give you the least hangover so potentially saving you from binging on greasy food the next morning)…

ketogenic diets are tricky. i tried one earlier this year and while i went into it saying i was going to keep it up for a long time, i needed to stop pretty soon after. i could feel it affecting my body in strange ways and it just didn't feel healthy for me. make sure you do lots of research and get proper nutrition from…

how can you be sure your body is in Ketosis? I've been following a high-protein, low-carb diet for a few days, and I don't know when ketosis will begin...thanks!

it seems to me that he might just be metro but not gay. a lot of gay guys aren't really comfortable with their sexuality until they come out, and for that reason they would exaggerate their "macho-ness" rather than talk about doing their hair and being metro, etc. i have a lot of gay guy friends and they all were very…

There is no one perfect size for people since everyone's body is built differently. Many women aspire to work towards the "hourglass" body shape, but depending on how you're built, your ability to achieve that may vary. I'm 5'7, and have broad shoulders, and i'm built more muscular than some of my friends. i'm going to…

I used to have this problem and what I started doing is an hour after breakfast (or whenever you feel hungry) having a cup of (green) tea. I still have that "hungry" sensation but I've realized that it's not actual hunger. Also, I don't know if you're drinking 8 glasses of water a day, but sometimes when your body is…

One tip I once heard from a personal trainer was to eat only fruits (and vegetables) before 12 noon. It worked for me a couple of years ago :)
