Really? Did I not say that at the beginning on the post I made that you attempted to chastise me for? Did I not agree with the woman directly below my last reply to you? I think it's you who has missed the point. We have a fellow dieter here asking us if diet drinks are good for you or alternatives to them. Fact: diet…

I agree water in the source of all life on this planet and Stevia is a better alternative to any of those other "diet" sweeteners. Good post.

Were as Vegans would argue that drink milk from "other animals" is unnatural; drinking breast milk into adulthood would be disguising. None the less your body needs Calcium, and no were else can you find such a high dose of calcium and it's absorbion partner Vitamin D than in Milk. So that is not opinion, that is fact. And…

Wow, What a difference a few months makes! A few months ago I was having to argue with people about the dangers of artificial sweeteners. It's good to see more people are educating themselves on dieting not just buying it because it says "diet". In regards to not liking water, I can not relate at all. I find ice cold water…

First off, welcome and congratulations on deciding to make the change :) The only advice I can give you is stay on track. Through the ups and downs don't get discouraged, you aways have a sounding board in this place. A common first time mistake is believing the packaging. Most "healthy" processed foods are anything but!…

You probably are losing faster because of the Avocado. Cashews are good for that too, another one of those awesome superfoods. The reason you stay feeling full longer is because nutrient-dense foods offer your body more than just surface calories, so your body processes them longer getting more of what it needs. Unlike…

Avocado, and Yogurt. I agree with everyone else above work great, they will off set your calories a bit higher, but like I try to tell everyone it's not always about the calories it's what you get from your calories. Yogurt has cultures and enzymes that help aid in digestion as well as calcium that help keep your bones,…

I recommend if you wanna see beauty only rivaled by the alps, go to The Grand Teton National Park. The near by town of Jackson has absolutely amazing, healthy lean foods. All beef, elk, and buffalo in town are grass-fed, hormone free and tasty! Most places serve organic foods and everyone is very environmentally friendly…

it should never be JUST about the calories. It should honestly be more about what you get from your calories. I mean, you could sit around all day and eat 4 Snickers bars and fill your caloric intake for the day, but you wont be nourished and so you'll feel hungry. Where as with nutrient rich balanced calories you'll feel…

Of course fit2sit! Sorry for the lateness of my reply, I'm always willing to indulge the curiosity of a fellow dieter. I find it fasinating that you didn't find anything negative on artificial sweeteners because there is nearly endless research on the subject, but stranger things have happened. One thing to always keep in…

Breakfast: Erewhon's Rice Twice Cereal with Raw Whole Milk = 369 Calories, but you'll be full until lunch. Lunch: My World Famous (to me atleast) Power Sandwich which consists of: 2 slices of Udi's Whole Grain Gluten-Free Bread = 160 Calories 2 tbsp of Mayo = 180 Calories Yellow Mustard = 0 Calories 2 slices of Nitrate…

The process of Pasteurization, or flash cooking of products, was first put into practice to prolong the shelf life of certain foods and to kill off harmful bacteria that can develop over time. Unfortunately, pastuerization also kills helpful enzymes, lowers nutrient levels and in some cases as with Milk completely changes…

Vinegar I've heard of and seen put into practice with great results, but pickles its a list of "if's". If you're already low sodium for the day that'll be fine; but the high salt content of brine can spike your sodium levels which (especially in women) can cause all kinds of unwanted side effect like water retention and…
-
Hell I did that today! But the best way I can think of is have a hobby or something you do that's is all consuming or entertaining. I garden, play guitar, or bike ride. All of which are good calorie burners, and all you'll want afterward is a huge glass of water, lol! Just find something that you like to do and focus on…

There are no stupid questions! Barefoot is acceptable as long as your not doing anything high impact (Jumping Jacks, Running in place, Frog Jumps, etc.) Those you'll need heel support or you can damage your feet. Elliptical? I've done it barefoot before, but I'm always barefoot! I'm barefoot right now! lol!:laugh: But as…

Qi Gong! Well look at you, sound like you've been here for months, lol! :happy: Welcome, and keep it up just like today and you'll do fine. One day at a time :wink: Good luck, and again Welcome! :smile:

Maybe you should report her to the Gym's Management.

Never too late, glad you could join us :) and good luck with all your endeavors! :)

Losing weight the old fashion way can be slow and tedious, but it's the most affective. I know you've struggled, I read your story and I can relate probably more than most. But I had to say this and I'd like you to repeat it as many times as it takes to stick in the back of your mind, "Food is for nourishment, not…

Mystery meat!!!! EWWWW!!!!! Every time I look at one I just think of how many hundreds of different animal parts are in those things, not to mention all the nitrates and other nastiness. They're just not good for you...

Stretch, stand feet together and bend your knees, like you're getting ready to sit down. At the same time, put your hands on the out side of your knees and compress them together. Once you get down as far as your comfortable going massage your knee caps with your fingers, then do elliptical rotations with your knees bent…

For working out, it's all about Slayer and Pantera NOTHING is more anger inducing, which is perfect for me because I always want to leave everything at the Gym. Bleeding knuckles from the bags and sweat infused shirt, YEAH!!! Now i wanna go to the Gym! But Favorite song of all time, Metallica's Orion.

I have not tried Hypnosis. But it seems to me that you have a similar problem to that of myself, you enjoy eating, and/or eat because you're bored. It's OK, a lot of us do, that's why we are here. But you have to find something to keep your mind off of it, or that will preoccupy your time. Walk or ride when you get bored,…

one of the most over looked keys in exercise is stretching. You should stretch more than you actually exercise. especially your legs, the hamstring is the most neglected tendon in your body if you don't stretch it you can give yourself shin splints or even worse you can tear it, and you don't wanna know that kind of pain!…

Phentermine is in the Ephedrine family of pharmaceuticals. Which means it's in the same family as Methamphetamine, aka crystal-meth or speed. Amphetamine's are not good for you they can cause Heart Disease, irregular hear beats and many other heart related problems. Drugs are never the answer, my mother took Phen-Phen…

Oh and Oats will lower Cholesterol DRAMATICALLY, as a matter of of fact a synthesized version of a protein strained isolated from oats is found in the 3 leading Lipid medications. So why go to a doctor when Quaker has been here for over 100 years! lol! :tongue: And Dana is right, free radicals are the biggest cause of…

it's a argument that goes all the way back to the 80's when a negative smear campaign left everyone confused and scared off of eggs for 20 years. But are eggs really bad for you? I know you're concerned about your cholesterol, we all should be. Cholesterol can be bad for you if you raise you lipid levels too high. Fatty…
