I did mean pressure cooker. I do use my crock pot frequently, but this is new to me. For the pot roast, salt and pepper the meat on all sides (I use NoSalt to avoid sodium). Add a little oil and sear the meat first, remove meat and drain excess fat/oil, then pile the veggies in the pot (1 onion, 3 cloves garlic, carrots…

Trying again. Helloooooooo?!??! Anyone out there?

NOBODY uses a pressure cooker on here? Really?!?!?!

Coconut water, V8 juice, turnips & parsnips (see recipe I posted).

*waiting patiently*

Been following this advice since November. No more problems. Works great! No more issues. If I get a funky reading... I just put it in the superhot water and give it a scrub... back in order just like *snaps fingers* that.

Thanks for the suggestions so far, please keep them coming.

Fast and easy, I just put a bit of Maple Grove Farms sugar free maple syrup. On another thread, I read this. Plan to try it, haven't yet,but sounds good: Meyer Lemon Blueberry Baked Oatmeal adapted from Babble by Mo’Betta 1 Meyer lemon, zested and juiced 2 cups nonfat milk 2 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats 1 tsp baking…

I tested it... You can divide it into servings & freeze it. It thaws & heats just fine.

I've never had them pickled. How do you make those?

Gee, all those folks wanting to know the recipe and now hardly a comment. :-(

Here's my recipe for a salt-free version: Taco Seasoning Original recipe makes 2 tablespoons which is plenty for a lot. I keep it in a shaker to use as needed. 2 teaspoons hot chili powder 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika 1 teaspoon onion powder 1/2 teaspoon Nosalt 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon…

2 Plank variants: Plank to push up and back.... Start in plank position, then put down right hand staying in plank, then put down left hand and raise all the way up to pushup position, then lower to right forearm, then lower to left forearm. Repeat opposite direction, left hand down first, then right, push up, lower left,…

I made the Pistachio Honey Crusted Salmon tonight and substituted the KinnickKinnick Gluten Free panko bread crumbs. It was AWESOME... but this recipe makes a ton of seasoned crumb coating. I'd say it's more appropriate to 1.5 pounds of salmon. TOTAL YUMMINESS!

I make chicken taco salads. Spray pan with non-stick spray. Put ground chicken in to brown in pan. Flavor it with taco seasoning. I make my own because I want to avoid the sodium, but you can just use a package of store bought if you want to keep it easy. Make up BIG bowl of lettuce, throw on the cooked chicken, open a can…

Many years ago, yes. This recent time was from hiking too far with too much on pavement.

So, for those of you using it for when to do sets and/or recover.... just curious.... what %age of max are you trying to stay in for weight training?

So far, this is the first time I've had shin splints since the late 1980s. I think I've had them 3 times now in my entire life. Once running track in Junior High long long ago on a planet far, far away. Once doing high-impact aerobics on a hard concrete unpadded floor decades ago in college. And now this time. So, I think…

Some are amazing... but some, I'm discovering are not. e.g., Love the regular rolls... the ones made with cheese in them (though being dairy-allergic, they are not as good for me). NOT thrilled with the dry, bland "Vermont Country Rolls" which they made dairy-free. Blah! Totally blah!

Icing again this morning. *sigh* It is actually making me cold to have these ice packs strapped to both shins. I have a space heater blowing on me to keep the rest of me from turning into an icicle. LOL

Have you heard of the Spartacus or Spartan training method or metabolic circuit training? It has been recommended to me as more effective. I don't do cardio between sets of lifting heavy barbells, on those days (my Stronglifts days), i just do a separate cardio workout if I feel like it. But, when using dumbbells with…

Not sure you stalled long enough to be worried about a major change up. But, when I stalled for months... and I tried dropping lower and lower... it did nothing. I did the full diet break recommended by Lyle and then returned to a significantly higher calorie load and I've resumed losing.…

And now for something completely useless: Why not contribute meaningfully to the actual discussion instead of policing people's spelling and such. *shakes head* Posting stuff like this just LOOSES the point. Yes, misspelling intentional. But, feel free to tell us that too.

Road bike with a mag wheel and stand. It will give you the best of both worlds. See e.g. a mag wheel trainer: http://www.amazon.com/Graber-Mag-Indoor-Bicycle-Trainer/dp/B000XKUPDO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1362531622&sr=8-2&keywords=mag+wheel+trainer and a front wheel rest:…

I do. I try to do routines of mixed cardio and resistance to keep HR up and strength train. For example, I do jumping jacks followed by dumbbell chest press in a bridge position. I do lunges with bicep curls. I do jumping twists followed by deadlift/row combos with dumbbells. By intermixing the cardio, you get the best of…

Okay.... icing now. I'm not within 24 hours.... but considering how acutely sore they are... I think it is still bad. Bummer. I will ice As for the impact comment.... I think that was a factor. If I'm doing pavement, I normally wear athletic shoes with good supports, added arch support and nice shock absorbing bouncy…

There are some articles on Bodyrecomposition.com - excellent and informative site - that talk about these things. Apparently there was a study where folks ate below BMR to lose weight. But, then it damaged their BMR and their body reduced its functioning to correspond to the starvation conditions. When they wanted to…

Twinketta is right about losing your Lean Body Mass too. You will lose muscle, a lot more than you want to. That is another problem with radical cutting diets.

I don't think it is that your body begins to "cannibalize" the organs. The problem is that there is a certain amount of fuel that your body needs just to function. When you don't supply it, but you still expect it to do its job, you put a strain on those organs and jeopardize your health and doing damage to the body. It…

I just posted my Garden Turkey Burger recipe in this thread: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/911379-awesome-high-protein-lean-garden-turkey-burgers?page=1#posts-13840725
