I make smoothies with basil all the time. Love them, especially with blackberries and avocado.

It could be a number of reasons. How soon after eating do you work out? How long are you exercising before you begin to feel dizzy and shaky? How many calories are you eating a day? Based on the foods you've listed here, it looks to me like you consume a fair amount of carbohydrates. Have you had difficulty with your blood…

I'm not drinking during February because I just started Chantix. I'm terrified to drink while taking it, and it's probably best to avoid triggers that make me want to smoke (like alcohol).

Oh, we're on Reddit now apparently.

You mentioned wanting one to reduce your waist, and then you mentioned wanting to flatten your abdominal area under tight clothing, so it looks like you don't mean reduction due to tightlacting. A corset won't provide a flat base for clothing on top due to the boning and fabric. I think you're talking more about Spanx and…

You're experiencing nausea before you begin eating it or afterward? If you're experiencing it before you eat, is it because of the smell? Or is it psychological?

POUTINE. :<

Agh, forgive me, but I'm a TMI queen -- hormonal irregularities/rebalancing can do a number on your body; I always have trouble with regularity. I agree with eating incredibly nutrient-dense foods, especially ones that are easy to digest. I love smoothies, so what about smoothies with baby spinach (fresh or frozen), some…

Beer battered kale. Kale fried in bacon grease on top of some toast with a fried egg. Saute it or sweat it in a pan with something acidic. You can treat it similarly to spinach but it's fairly bitter on its own.

You hear that, Ed? BEARS. Now you're putting the whole station in jeopardy.

Yawn. I'm so tired of the "edgy" faux-journalism on the Gawker network. We get it, Journalist -- you read a lot of Chuck Palahniuk growing up. Congrats.

I'm going to push for the 130-145 range, but my primary fitness goal is to get to around 24-25% body fat and take it from there. I have a fairly muscular frame, and I carry a lot of weight in my breasts, hips, and stomach. I'll see how I feel and see what my doctor thinks. The lowest I've been was 120ish, a size 4-6 on my…

I love you right now. #marryme

that's fantastic! congratulations!

OP, i enjoyed your post! it was very well-written and so true. your advice on "skinny inspiration" definitely struck a chord.

it MIGHT just be the cut of the first outfit combined with where your hands are sitting. you're pulling the focus of the picture to your midsection. but, really, you look fantastic in both pictures. you look so healthy and fit.

i eat 2-6 cans of tuna per week. i watch myself for symptoms of mercury toxicity, but so far i've been fine. i've only exhibited one symptom, which is decrease in concentration, and i'd attribute that to a lower calorie diet and general distractability. so, honestly, i'm not super concerned, but i'm not flippant about it…

thank you! :) i'm finally back on health insurance, and i'll be pursuing therapy soon -- although not exclusively for the residual bulimic tendencies.

yeah, i'm right there with you. actually, i found your post by searching for "plateau," and i was shocked to see that you just posted it. i'm beginning to think i need to eat more calories. i net anywhere from 600-1200. i struggle with compensatory under-eating due to a past history with bulimia, and i suppose i'm still…

yeah, my fiance doesn't watch porn either. he did occasionally when he was younger, but i think there's something inherent within most porn that makes him a little uncomfortable/uneasy (although i can say with certainty it's not the "sex" aspect). i've suggested watching porn together but he just doesn't get into it.

first, let me start by saying that it's not unreasonable to not want your partner to watch porn. secondly, it's not unreasonable to want to watch porn. i can't give specific advice because i don't know the circumstances. what bothers you about his watching it? are there specific types of porn that make you uncomfortable,…

erhmahgherd terhneh herdgheg. there, fixed it! :D

i love avocado smoothies. 8oz chilled white tea one small avocado, chopped 8oz frozen blueberries or pear (or if you prefer fresh fruit, you can freeze the tea in ice cube trays) a little bit of chopped sweet basil blend 'til smooth. so creamy and yummy.

double-post. :<

honestly, you may just need to eat more. this happened to me every night when i was heavily bulimic. after a couple of months of ignoring it, i would practically sleep-walk into the kitchen and shove crackers into my mouth. i'd barely remember it the next day. your body is telling you it needs more food. listen to it. if…

there are two possibilities here that are deeply intwined. 1. this may be his preferred way to show love. some people are givers. ;) in the past, it was probably okay for him to bring you treats, right? 2. he may be worried that you're going to lose weight, get healthy, and leave him behind -- mentally, emotionally, or…

your commitment to weird food is oddly sexy.

bwahaha.

bake some round, hot house tomatoes 'til they're soft. hollow them out once cooled until you have a deep pocket in each one. brown ground beef on the stove with crushed garlic, onion, shallots with kosher salt and black pepper. wilt some basil into it. stuff inside tomatoes, bake for 10-20 minutes. yum. :)
