oyakodon is great! Katsudon is another good one! :D

Can't choose, but it has to be either some of the donburi dishes or Kebab with french fries! You probably don't know what donburi is, so check here for pics! :D http://alturl.com/gu9rt

Well.. Frankly, for someone so smart, you sure are poor at understanding my text. I answered from a neutral, pragmatic perspective to someone else "bashing" - as you put it - your text. Furthermore, I don't have anywhere near 100+ lbs to lose. I have finally gotten to the normal BMI range but would like to be about 10-20…

I didn't take this as promoting per se.. It does offer another perspective though. I agree about the dangerous practices but some times things must be taken at a case by case principle. And this means that a medical nutritional professional must be the one calling the shots! Not any layman! The truly concerning thing is…

For anyone in healthy weight, that plan would be very unhealthy, but in your special case (obesity and all), I'm sure it's very good for your health! Great that you're under medical supervision through the whole thing and that your doctor is taking care that you get all the necessary nutrients. The weight should come off…

It is funny how single minded people can sometimes be. I used to know tea only as black tea with sugar and milk in it, but gradually got to know other kinds too. And there's myriad of them, and often brewed a little differently. Black tea, white tea, green tea, oolong tea, jasmin tea, etc. Then there is the iced tea, which…

Milk and sugar?!?! :noway:

I got fed up with it when I was a kid. Took about twenty years to get over it, but now I actually like yogurt. Not really sure if I have ever tried greek yogurt, though...

Heavens! Do people really add sugar and sweeteners to green tea?! Really! Green tea and sugar don't go together! It kills all flavor of the tea! An abomination! Anyway, if it always gets bitter, you probably brew it wrong.. Too hot water or too long brewing time. I never learned to brew it right, but my way I get it…

If you just buy green tea leaves and brew it, it's about zero calories. Tastes good and is healthy for you. I have some great green tea at work and I just put leaves in a mug just enough to cover the bottom. Then add hot water and let it sit for a couple of minutes until I pour it to another cup, leaving the leaves to the…

Also in bathing areas that are only for men or women? Sounds horribly uncomfortable and impractical! I have heard that in some countries people can be pretty reserved about getting naked in front of other people, but it's still hard to understand. In swimming halls here, people are always forbidden to wear swimsuits in…

That's pretty much the whole point! :laugh: I love sauna and am happy to have one at the gym. It's also close to where I work, so I often go just to bathe after work. Saves some money too, since I don't often need to warm my own sauna anymore because of it. :smile: Public saunas are also better, because you get to…

Just counting calories and trying to get enough protein.

I changed to green tea too.. Really miss the coffee though, but I would drink 4-5 big cups a day at work.. :frown:

Candy.

Finnish English Japanese Swedish Some words in about a dozen other languages.

Go to MY HOME --> Goals Click "Change Goals" Select "Custom" Make the changes. My setting is 50% carbs, 35% protein, 15% fat. MFP sets the protein way too low.

It's a good warm-up. :)

I don't know the person or the situation, so pretty hard to say.. Have you offended him somehow lately?

I go the next day. Better to let motivation build and not use it up if it's in short supply. I also have experience in overtraining, so I know low motivation to be one of the symptoms. One missed workout in ten won't impair your game, but nine in ten will.

225 Calories? That's my quick breakfast or snack! What about the rest of your meals? Dinner? The couple of snacks? You should eat about 5-6 times a day so if you eat five times that amount, you'll hit the 1200 mark. What is holding you back?

What is the purpose of your exercising?

I believe that protein might be the big pitfall, especially for many women. How much do you get on average? Divide your weight in lbs by about 2.4 and you'll have about the minimum amount of protein in grams that you need daily. It is recommended to eat almost twice that though, when exercising, to supply your body with…

Hi and welcome! What you need to do is to eat more than you burn (probably a LOT more than you're used to!) and do a good weight exercise 3-4 times a week. Don't go for unhealthy food but normal good and healthy food with lots protein and enough fats and carbs. A 40% carbs, 30% fats, and 30% protein balance should be…

I began worrying about my sodium at one point too.. The database here doesn't always contain all information about some things and my experience is that you can find sodium almost everywhere so no use worrying about it. In addition, the MFP goal is pretty high. I seem to recall that the recommendation here is about 1500 mg…

LoL That is a good point! Have to give you that.. :laugh:

Well.. Generally people seem to be more similar than they are different.. Especially as organic, breathig, sweting, calorie burning things, and there are things that can be said to work for vast majority of people so I think that it has gotten a bit too convinient around here to just throw "not everything works for…

Wellcome and good luck with your journey! Btw. How much do you normally eat in a day? 100g of carbs a day sounds awfully low to me..

- If you haven't lost a substantial amount of weight during the last two weeks, the reason probably is that you are converting fat to muscle. - If you eat before going to bed, it is sored as fat straight away. - Fat makes you fat. --> Low fat hype. Good dietary fat is essential for your health! - The whole idea of losing…

A recovery drink right after exercise speeds the recovery. A meal about an hour later is another must! Chocolate milk with a banana is almost as good but I find the recovery drinks more convinient.
