Hot water and coffee beans.

I used to be able to down a box of assorted chocolates, or a box of Passion Flakies, or 6-12 boston cream donuts from Tim Hortons or about the same number of chocolate bars, all in one sitting... (And I wonder why I got so fat!) After working out, losing 100+lbs, and eating healthier in general (currently vegetarian, but…

That is NOT a Nutri Ninja... That's a regular Ninja blender.... Here's an example, from the same woman you posted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mecb4n_84_4 and another from someone else: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QngRzn9HDhQ

I am in the market for a single-serve blender. I considered the Nutribullet but I've seen two or three videos now where people put them head to head with the Nutri Ninja, and the Nutri Ninja comes out ahead. I'm sure I'd be happy with a Nutribullet, though. But the whole blades breaking thing on the newer 900 series is a…

Almost anything from www.theppk.com or any of Isa's or Terry's cookbooks (and I own four of them... So far.).

Mmm, carbs.

I don't know about the OP, but I'm a computer programmer and I stand to work. I don't think it's much more active than sitting, but my legs sure feel tired at the end of the day. The next step is to get one of those treadmill desks, or something.

1) Don't beat yourself up if you "fail" (eg: overeat or miss a workout). Just get back on the wagon. 2) Use a food scale to weigh everything you eat. 3) Forget about the body scale as much as you can. Use a tape measure and how your clothes feel and how you feel overall - they're better markers of success than a mere…

I got a Fitbit One not long ago and have nearly lost it 4 times. I wish I had gotten the Flex, but with the pathetic display and lack of stairs tracking, I opted for the One. I hear they're working on new devices with more tech that much of the competition has now, so I may upgrade sooner than later. The Amiigo seemed very…

That's a rather large tattoo. You set your standards pretty high, don't you? This is a very serious symptom that should be investigated by a doctor.

I tried it and I gained 649 pounds. I highly recommend it.

What are you scrubbing your vegetables with, a cotton swab? Buy a stiff-bristled brush - you can find them specifically sold as vegetable brushes. Use that. I do, and I never have a problem with residual dirt or grit in my teeth. That sounds disgusting.

You're trying to be 110lbs at 5'4", that's why.

Yes, raw food diets can be very dangerous! I strongly advise everyone to not eat raw chicken.

Averaging about 375g/day lately. I love them.

YES. Bread IS bad for you. I don't care what all the people above me say. I ate bread one time and I died instantly.

Right now, Godot for games. vim for everything else.

Search the forums for previous posts (with pics) from women who lift weights. I'm sure you'll see there's nothing to fear. Cardio is good for you, too. I wouldn't give it up. But if you have to choose between the two, lift.

Yes, you're right. For example, I felt like total **** and after trying various things, I cut out all meat and rarely eat dairy or eggs now, and I feel way, way, way better. But the OP clearly indicates it's a struggle to avoid red meat and fried foods. Yes, he feels better, but that doesn't magically take away the strong…

Yeah, deprivation isn't a road to success. For many reasons. That being said, try some of the recipes from www.theppk.com and see if you like them. Everything we've made from there has been excellent, and I bought two cookbooks so far from the same author. All 60-70 recipes have turned out from good to amazing.

I sincerely doubt you were questioning the taste, but whatever, I can't prove that. So, to answer, I've drank water+cucumber slices and it tasted great. I also drank water+lemon slices and it was good. I also drank water+mint and it was just OK. I wouldn't mix them together, myself. And I drank them not for some magical…

When I started exercising, my BMI was somewhere over 46 (mystery number because I don't know what I weighed at my heaviest - see my ticker for a photo). My left knee hurt a lot and would kinda snap sometimes. I stuck with working out, just doing what I could, and now I'm the lightest and healthiest I've been in over a…

Yes! It totally works! I drank one cup of Magic Lemony Cucumber Water and I lost 50 pounds overnight. But you have to use Magic Cucumbers or it doesn't work, and they're hard to get since they only grow in Argentina and can only be harvested on February 29th, so you have to wait until 2016.

This forum needs a detox of Dr. Oz posts.

Sounds like you're more of a sugar-lover than a coffee-lover, or you are drinking crap coffee. You can solve this by buying good green coffee beans and roasting it yourself at home. This is by far the best coffee I've drank. Grind with a conical burr grinder. Alternatively, you can buy fresh-roasted coffee beans from a…

You're welcome! ...MFP won't let me change my nickname, btw. LOL. I used to eat bacon by the package. I don't even miss it. Well, I miss it a little.

I'm not all that active here anymore, so you may not want to add me, but here's the only tip I needed when I decided to try out vegetarian eating almost a year ago: www.theppk.com A majority of meals I eat now are from Isa's site or one of her cookbooks, and almost every single one is delicious! There's only been a couple…

Hey OP, I have been a vegetarian (close to a vegan diet - the occasional veggie pizza or egg breakfast sandwich while traveling being the rare exceptions) for almost a year now, and so far I physically feel far better than I did when I ate meat. However, the first 100+lbs I lost was WHILE I was still eating meat. I should…
