Ditto SallyLunn and anyone else who said take it, take one bite, praise it to high heaven and then hide it until you can trash it. I don't like hurt feelings, and this way, no one is offended and you get to keep your calories for something else.

www.nutritiondata.com That's usually the best for individual foods. How was it?

Halibut dry cooked 1 oz. = 39 calories, 1g fat, 0 carb, 7g protein, 11mg cholesterol, 19mg sodium, This is for ONE ounce of fish only. You need to multiply it by however many ounces you are eating. Also, this does not include any oils you may use when cooking. Whenever I can't find something here, I look at…

Eggs are a great idea, especially with veggies. Also, on days when you are feeling good, cook 3 or 4 extra meals and freeze them. This way, when you are not up tp par, you can just pop an already prepared meal in the micro. Feel better.:flowerforyou:

GNC's Women's Ultra Mega. They are very comprehensive. You will have to supplement calcium though.

Sounds good. :smile:

To me, it sounded like you were just being really rude to Rob and you were posting some sarcastic ridiculous childish comments. I replied accordingly. Since you say you were being earnest, then I apologize for any perceived snippiness. And no - I don't have to take my attitude anywhere. It just comes along:devil:

UUHh - NO! All of the above is untrue. Do some research first. HGCers this is once again just a thread meant to bash - stay away.

Nope, I won't, because I learn now how to eat healthy and how to treat my body with respect. I learn the basic things again. And I know I'm able to stick with it... for the rest of my life. The weight I lose now (no matter how long it takes) will sty off, because I'm in for a life style change, not for a diet. I'm really…

:smile: Wow! are we "touchy" I didn't read anything (except all the hcg bashing) as being an attack or being particularly rude or uninformed. I guess as long as we follow the conventional 1200 calories and eat your exercise calories then we're okay. The minute people defend something else, we're suddenly "attacking" I just…

Also, all you young girls have no clue how really hard it is to lose weight after 40. Believe me at 18 and 20 and even 30 all I had to do was eat right and exercise - in fact, I didn't bother. I was 89 pounds of solid muscle when I was 30. After 40 it changes big time. You may bash now, but when you're 40 you'll be looking…

Works great. Especially if you are over 40. It tells your metabolism to gett off it's a@@ and start burning fat! You are only on a vlcd for 20 - 40 days, depending on how much weight you have to lose. Then you eat normally, except for starches and sugars. Three weeks later, you reintroduce starches and sugars. It almost…

I have a home gym and a steam sauna. I work out and then relax in the steam sauna for 20 minutes.

Go Lori!!! Wow!

If one wants to be educated about this protocol, it is easy to read the Pounds & Inches manuscript. Everything you need to know is there. You don't feel hungry, because the hcg is liberating stored fat and allowing it to be used for energy. From my experience, here's what happens when I exercise and eat right: I loose some…

The HCG Protocol has taught me how to eat properly and exactly how much food I really "need" to eat in order to maintain a healthy weight. HGC allows your body to use the fat that just won't go away. It woked when I was pregnant and it worked now when I completed Phase 2 recently. I have been able to maintain my loss and…

Again, eat the 1,200 but only eat the extra if you are very hungry. I believe that it is very hard to accurately calculate exactly how many calories you consume. It is also very hard to accurately calculate how many calories you have burned in exercise. There are averages, but a 40 year old woman does not burn the same…

It helped me to stop thinking in terms of a "day" of eating well or not. I had to think in terms of "bites". Ok, I blew that part of my day with a muffin, but I still have the rest of the day to take healthy bites. This helped remove the "permission" I gave myself to binge by saying, "Oh, I might as well keep eating since…

I don't eat them. I don't even want to know I have them, so I set the calories burned to 0 so they don't show up in my food diary. You need to create a real deficit to loose weight.

Clean eating is easy and wonderful. You don't need a book to help you. When you go shopping, get lots of veggies and fruit - organic when possible. Eat lean protein - most toxins are stored in fat, so lean protein is your best bet next to organic proteins, which are very expensive. Eat your food, raw, steamed or grilled…

Ostrim makes a mix of beef and ostrich jerky. The make jerky and snack sticks which are low in sodium (about 300mg), low in fat and carb and high in protein. I have them in an omelet or as a lunch in a pinch.

Hot topic - as was mentioned. Even The Biggest Looser books have a diet that is 1000 calories (not the magic 1,200). I personally could eat 1,000 calories of good nutrient dense food sources, exercise, and not loose weight. I need to do 800 - 900 calories a day, plus exercise to make the scale move without the help of a…

Wow. Even if half of it is true it's good information.

Fage or Oikos (Stonyfield's organic version) are my faves. Fat free and plain - if I want sugar or fruit I add it. Just had some for a snack.

The easiest way to think about it its this: net carbs are the carbs that affect your blood sugar. They are the carbs you metabolize and use the calories from. Total carbs include fiber - which is a carb that your body does not metabolize (use for fuel). This has no metabolic impact on blood sugar. In other words, fibrous…

For me, "food" is not necessarily the addiction. It's all the patterns I've developed around food that are the problems. I was always too "tired" to cook dinner, so we'd order in. I was stressed from work, so I'd open a bottle of wine and start drinking it as soon as I got home. I'd make dinner for my kids and "taste" just…

nutritiondata.com is also a good place. You can specify raw or cooked, with sald, without, etc.

Weight Watchers did not allow me to track individual nutrients like protein, fat, fiber and calcium the way MFP does. Calories are easier to count than points, also. I like this site much better. @ODonna - that should be an ad for this site - or at the very least placed in the "posts you want to read again and again"…

It's not the quantity of calories that is important, but the quality of them. If every bite of food is highly nutritious and as close to natural as possible, then it does not really matter if you are getting 1,200 or 1,600. In fact. If they are all "great" calories, you could easily be overfeeding yourself. It takes time…
