Fiber is key for feeling full, like oat meal, steel cut oats, malto-meal. Also, try 30 g of protein in the morning as soon as you wake up.

One of several reasons for eating smaller portions and 5 to 6 meals a day is that if a person eats more food in one sitting than the body can digest it will store it as fat.

Aww, I like that. At the end of a tough day i say, " and tomorrow I will be stronger."

Absolutely!

Finally lost my 1st pound after two weeks of what seemed like alot of hard work for one pound but yeahhhhh it WAS all me!!!!

i dont know whats wrong there but i logg in 30 and it gives me 120. You can delete the number it gives you and put in one you think is more correct.

Sorry to hear about your pain. Made me laugh. Im outta here!! lol

thanxs XFitMojoMom!

If anyone is interested in variety Ive been knee deep in Indian cooking lately. I mean WOW such flavor!!!! The cookbook is "Complete Indian Cooking". The back half is vegetarian/vegan. Easy to make but be prepared to buy alot of spices. I have an Indian grocer down the street who helps me out with food/spices im not…

What about Flax oil? I use it on salads. Is that not a complete omega 3?

Ive been reading how lifting to the point of exhaustion. As a newbie Im not sure if Im going to that point. Is that pass the point of nausea (especially with abs, my weakest muscles) and pass the point of jello legs or is that the end point? I try to do my reps slow and controlled and also experience quivering during the…

I applaud your spirit!! :bigsmile: (there should be a hands clapping smiley). Ive brought my lunch for years and it never crossed my mind that it could have been considered geeky. I just thought I was being smart and frugal. I wish I could have a supershero lunch box but with the snacks it just wouldnt be big enough. I had…

I know right? lol

Hello, vegan here. I've really been into Indian cooking lately. Soooo flavorful. My current cookbook: "Complete Indian Cooking" by Mridula Baljekar, Rafi Fernandez, Shehzad Husain and Manisha Kanani. The back half of the book is vegan/vegetarian. Good stuff!

Hello, As a vegan for 5 years I just want to say that being a vegan doesnt automatically make you healthy. A person still has to make wise choices and "round out" the foods they eat. Balancing the right amount of nutritious foods still stands. I love carbs thats why im here lol. One thing is for certain it is a cholestral…

Walnuts are good for your mood, and they are high in ALA, a polyunsaturated fat that is converted to Omega-3. something that is very good for you. I eat a handful either between bkfst and lunch or lunch and dinner. about 1oz. Tides me over. What I dont understand is the yogurt. Dairy isnt good for anyone. Calcium can be…

[/quote] Excellent list except as yummy as those walnuts are EACH WHOLE WALNUT IS 30 (THIRTY) CALORIES!!! I found this out the hard way last week. So if you eat 10 of them that is 300 (THREE HUNDRED) calories!!! [/quote] Walnuts are good for your mood, and they are high in ALA, a polyunsaturated fat that is converted to…

Wow, what a difference. Fantastic job, your doing great!!!

I forgot about that, good point!

Did you really? lolol thats hilarious!!!!!! awesome!

drink some grapefruit juice in conjuction with squats. Here's the link: http://www.drozfans.com/dr-ozs-advice/dr-oz-4-hours-to-the-perfect-body-ice-therapy-timothy-ferriss/

I agree.

lololol. satan called hahaha oh you poor thing. thanks for sharing your pain!

I just caught a Dr Oz show where the guy said to do 60 seconds of squats after a big (splurge) meal. It opens up the muscles which provide faster fuel burn.

I've got three trained on the treadmill and by time their done I cant wait to get on myself. If I go first BabyGirl will stand there and stare at me impatiently waiting. I gotta tell ya its funny. I look at her, how she lives in the present, not thinking twice about what is good for herself and just doing it. :smile:
