you can make homemade cashew cheese with nutritional yeast. It doesn't melt the same but can be used to sub for goat cheese, sour cream, Parmesan and many other cheeses. I use it when I have vegan tacos and it is TASTY

try using a neti pot to clear it out

Sounds like he is a huge douche bag who is preying on your insecurities. Get rid of him.

good for you I hope you are proud of yourself.

As soon as I buy cereal, or anything that I might potentially binge on, I portion it out into the proper serving size - each into their own little ziploc 1 cup storage things. That way I can easily take just one when I'm feeling like snacking. I'm pretty terrible for leaving the cupboard door with my snacks in it and…

Try to give yourself healthy snacks at work. Considering nursing is a very physically demanding job, i dont think you should try to push yourself to work out extra while you are working. Just eat right and work out when you aren't on shift.

two pounds a week isn't a healthy goal.

The only two options are save it to eat it later and share it with your coworkers. I dont understand why you would throw it away when you can easily take it to work and share with other people? What a waste!

eat more veggies! make lower calorie healthy substitutions in recipes (for instance - use avocado in place of butter when baking, use cauliflower in place of potato for many recipes, unsweetened almond milk in place of 2%) Lower the fat you add in recipes and cut down on sugar. Use more spice in their place (I find vinegar…

liquid diet

Go to the clean program and check out some of their meal ideas. Things I made were: soups: apple and celeriac carrot and fennel pear and parsnip beet and coconut thai soup meals: sauteed bok choy with cashews baked rice balls (use cooked red/brown rice, add tumeric, cumin, salt, pepper, etc and caramalized onions, garlic +…

I use oil, just significantly less than is a "serving" Just because a serving is 1 Tbsp doesn't mean you can't use 1 tsp (or even half a lot of the time) instead. I was once a butter queen (butter, lots of it, in EVERYTHING) and I found reducing the amount of butter/oil I use when I cook really hasn't reduced any flavour.…

I always use sedentary and log all my exercise. The only reason not to do this is if you have a physical job, as far as I am concerned

get a heart rate monitor. get a good one though - I bought a crummy and it is clearly wrong (i know my hr was much higher than it is telling me, etc) so i would like to get another one. hmph.

baked parsnips dehydrated onion rings (raw vegan and super delish!)

Give yourself longer or cut your calories more. Those are your options.

i keep it private - what i eat is my business

so you are using a meal replacement for lunch and dinner? hmmmmm

you can chose not to eat it all, to only eat portions. you can also ask the kitchen to omit things from your meals. as a former incredibly picky eater i can tell you, no matter where you are you can get substitutions if you ***** enough.

Go to hot powerflow classes. Doing yoga at home is pretty awful as far as I'm concerned, too many distractions

who said kim k wasnt a healthy body type? they question is whether you would want someone elses body type (for example kim k) or a HEALTHIER VERSION OF YOURS. there was no statement that hers was unhealthy. Revisit reading comprehension please.

half can of tuna mixed with mustard, onions salt and pepper (i even add sauerkraut!). I use sliced long english cucumber to dip it out (like a cracker) - if you use the stuff stored in water that's about 60-70 cals. portobella/zuchini pizzas - use one of these as the crust and use a little skim mozza cheese and pizza…

I dont keep mine open because what I eat is none of your ****ing business. Having an open diary also invites people to judge things you say or auto-assume you are wrong about arguments based on something you have in your food diary.

YES! especially with more practice, because you understand the postures more and can do them with proper alignment. My arms, legs and butt are super fit and its pretty much all from yoga (not to mention abs!) I do hot yoga around 3-4 times a week, Bike in the summer and cross country ski once or twice a week (plus play…

Depends on what activity level you are inputting. personally i like to use sedentary for everything and track my own exercise. that way i don't overeat for exercise im not doing.

"starvation mode" is just mfps way of trying to keep you from developing an eating disorder.

have green tea or other herbal tea - no calories. if you like it cold, brew it strong and put it over ice

hot yoga - i do moksha and its about 400 cals an hour

note: having air blowing does not lower the air temperature it moves it around

dizziness, weakness, mood swings, bloating, low resting heart rate, eczema (seriously), hair falling out i dont really think this is a path you want to take. yes it takes the weight off but it isnt super worth it
