When I realised I weigh the same as I did when I was 9 months pregnant

What is wrong about cashews?

my favorities are Brazil, Almonds and Macadamias.

You can get from iherb.com. I get my Waldens and Quest products from here. Also here is a code for discount on your first order http://www.iherb.com?rcode=SSG508

Hi All, How long would the chicken broth keep in the fridge for? I am very cautious of salmonella when it comes to anything chicken

Thanks everyone this is super helpful. I think i might make up some burger patties for lunches. Still trying to get my head around eating extra fat, still feels naughty after being conditioned in the whole low fat craze. I have been snacking on nuts and my work colleagues are like ohhh they are so bad you should have a low…

Best weekend yet. 2 glasses on Friday night and one cider on sunday afternoon. yahoo!

sweet or savory?

You could make Tzatziki with the cucumbers and tomato salad with fresh basil

Have you tried Quinoa? much better nutritionally. Although brown rice is low GI than white

Cheers. This week I made a beef stroganoff with quinoa so hoping to cook something new on Sunday for next week.

I got the Quest one (Vanilla) but I find it too sweet. Might go with bareblends when this runs out.

looks good, super thick

I have to limit myself to one drinking day per week. One bottle of wine saved for Friday nights and have to work out that day too.

thanks for the suggestions. I just put an order in for the Quest protein as the reviews seem quite good. Was also looking at the bare blends but seemed a little exy.

and white cooks in half the time :)

bah why have I been wasting my time with brown, I much prefer the taste of white ricec

I thought brown had more fibre and protein and lower GI than white?

I use it to add to my protein balls/bliss balls for peanut butter flavour.

Not bad this weekend. Limited myself to drinking only on saturday night instead of all weekend. Went to an all you can eat buffet but managed to stick to steak and salads and only a tiny bit of dessert with lots of walking. How did everyone else go?

It's not a miracle method but can help with cravings etc. At the end of the day it's all about calories in calories out.

Weekly check in after the weekend. Once again I had many wines over the weekend, food choices were good to counter act the calories but not game to weigh myself. Having a super good Monday/Tuesday and hopefully will balance out. How did everyone else go?

chocolate or anything high in sugar usually makes me go crazy and want more more more

nuts, high fat low carb! I have a container of almonds, brazil and cashews on my desk and use for snacks sometime breakfast.

I think the biggest problem is that I don't want to stop drinking wine as I really enjoy it and will feel deprived, lifes too short that whole mentality. But I guess at the end of the day it is just a habit and habits can be broken with willpower. Will try again this weekend.

that's a good idea, as long as I have bacon I am happy

I had zoodles last night with my bolognese and the rest of the family had regular pasta. Sometimes I do a carrot/zuchinni combo and just lighting saute with coco oil and cracked pepper and lemon juice.

Well this weekend was another write off. Thought if I only buy one bottle then that would be ok calorie wise, but no as when I ran out I started on beer. Time to go cold turkey for a bit just to get out of the habit.

eat less and move more

it is all in the database, you will just need to weigh it first
