Re the bacon--is it pork or just bacon? Sorry if I'm being nosey, just curious to know if it's the pork or the preservatives or something else. PS--I am also allergic to PB, could eat it for years until one day--bam--mouth tingles and hives. I miss it. :(

Caramelize some sweet onions and use those, feta cheese, and wafer thin sliced prosciutto on home made dough rolled out paper thin for a delicious flatbread!

Please don't! Allergies often get worse over time, and that numb face is the indication of the potential for anaphylaxis--which comes without warning and is fatal. If you must, at least ask your MD to prescribe an Epi-Pen, and carry it with you at all times.

They are just petty and cheap feeding their guests Arby's given that situation. My entire wedding didn't cost as much as that dress, and we still managed to feed our guests a decent (and relatively healthy) meal at the rehearsal dinner. I can't recall exactly what was on the menu--it was a buffet--but I do remember roasted…

Many people can eat wheat without any problems--including weight and diabetes. Food sensitivities are not a "one-size-fits-all" situation.

For people with true allergies there will be actual symptoms that occur either immediately or within an hour or so after eating--hives, tingling around the mouth, swelling--usually on the face or in the mouth, anaphylaxis, acute vomiting. For people with sensitivities they tend to figure it out by process of elimination.…

A PCP/Internist, gastroenterologist, or allergy specialist can all test for food borne allergens.

I'm allergic (like in call 9-1-1 and I hope I have time to use my Epi-Pen) to some nuts and allergic (yes, those lovely bumps all over me are called hives) to all of them. Same thing with peanuts, coconuts, and some shellfish--which can also trigger horrific gastro-intestinal problems. Some dairy aggravates my asthma. Too…

Think what you will, I'll choose to err on the side of caution. See you at the finish line.

If you can't run the whole thing, power walk it. There's no reason that you can't train up to that distance in three months. I do five miles every morning--usually 10 on Sundays. I wasn't doing anything due to a health problem up until three months ago--and I have asthma. So if I can do it, anyone can!

The OP stated that they typically eat less than 1/3 of what they ate, so it's very possible that they will either become constipated or have very hard stool as a result.

Considering I recently had a full blood panel that included cholesterol which were all perfect as well as having a BMI within "Normal Weight" even at my heaviest, I don't think I'm the one that needs to worry.

However it wasn't in the OP's goals. Therefore it was a misstep. No hyperbole.

Geez, there are a lot of healthier options than Arby's that would cost no more--probably even less. Subway subs cut into 2" sections with the condiments on the side would have been one thought.

RD's have to take CEU's to keep their license. Want to try again? Like I said, things have a nasty habit of catching up with you when you aren't looking...

You don't have to be a nutritionist to know that a pound of steak isn't a good idea for someone trying to lose weight. What would you call it if not a misstep?

I eat steak, I don't eat an entire pound of it in a single sitting. In fact six ounces is typically my limit before I start to feel ill--four ounces is a nice portion. That has nothing to do with clean eating, weight control, or anything else other than not wanting to feel bloated and disgusting.

Like I said, a gentle laxative or stool softener. 16 ounces of steak is going to be hard to pass for someone who typically eats 1/4 of that. And yes, a POUND of steak is most certainly a misstep.

I use a food scale, measuring cups, and measuring spoons for everything--except greens and garnishes. The difference between 2 and 2.5 cups of mixed greens isn't worth the effort of measuring. Same thing with a cilantro or (light) sesame seed garnish, etc.

Arby's at a rehearsal dinner? I'm LOL over that one! I think you've got a good idea--eat a filling (but healthy) meal before you go and either pass altogether on the sandwich or maybe just pick at a little of the meat. Hopefully there will be something else there that's a little more uh... edible. I'd just say that you had…

...

Lots of water (triple what you normally drink) and either a mild laxative or stool softener--beef can bind you up pretty badly. Then back to normal. As the others said, one misstep isn't the end of the world.

Hey, I was just responding to what you wrote. I'm not responsible for your typos. I've seen some pretty crazy things on these boards, so who knows what someone is doing to themselves.

Like I said, an MD and a registered dietician. Or will you know say that a RD has no idea of what they are talking about?

The difference between an alcoholic and someone who enjoys a drink is that an alcoholic can't quit. The thought of doing so upsets them. Don't have a drink for two weeks. If you can't go that long without cheating, I'm sad to say that you have a drinking problem. Alcohol is alcohol whether it's beer, hard liquor, cordials,…

Quit drinking. Seriously. And if you can't, join AA. That's the best advice I can offer.

Come back and talk to me when you're 60--if you haven't had a SCA by then. Until then, I'll trust the professionals.

Actually you should need a new bra after about 25 pounds unless the ones you are wearing are too small to begin with. Underwear as needed, but 10 pounds generally works out to a dress size, so it's hard to believe you won't need new panties after each 20-25 or so lost.

12,000 calories? Who eats that many calories a day? That's crazy! If you mean in a week, 50 x 3 = 150 a day x 7 days a week = 1050 calories a week. That's half a day's food for someone eating 1700 calories a day. You are right, I should have been more clear. The Mayo Clinic states that egg yolks can contribute to high LDL.…

Good for you. I'm going to defer to the advice of a medical doctor and registered dietician over someone on the Internet who might not have even finished 7th grade for all I know. By the way, things can catch up with you later in life.
