I cook them, but maybe not for long enough? They're still crunchy when i eat them

I like bell peppers,carrots,corn, and onions, so recently those have been the ones I've been going after. I tried to eat a salad bowl with spinach a couple weeks ago and ended up feeling very dizzy and nauseous after. Sometimes my stomach gets awful after too much coffee (as in more than one cup) but i figured that…

This sounds interesting for sure :)

I'm from Minnesota, so we have Caribou Coffee here. My mother-in-law once got me a bag of some sort of mocha grounded coffee, and i HATED it, even with the dollop of creamer i used regularly like i do with my bland Folgers. She saw the word 'mocha' and thought that would be enough. I definitely will have to explore my…

I use basic,generic, Folger's coffee. Do you think that using other grounds make a world of difference in quality? I'm sure it must, although I'm too afraid to try. Afraid of not liking it and it ends up being a waste of money because I don't know what to look for :(

i guess i kind of fail when i put in the subject that i realize this, but am curious about other options, and then I get the answer I said i already knew about. Not trying to completely bash you, but this wasn't helpful.

Thank you! this is what I'm going through! I'm 24 and I have an appointment for tomorrow :)

bump

i typically do eat breakfast beforehand

Thanks for all the replies! I tried my boyfriend's roomate's powder, which is GNC Pro Performance® AMP AMP 100% Whey Protein- Chocolate, and it was amazing! But I can't very well steal it or really pay for it haha, but I was just curious as to how much all of these usually cost and how effective they are. You guys have…

The only issue I have is that $50 bucks is something I can't drop on anything right now. BUT! I suppose If i were to add up the amount i spend on food that has that much protein, maybe it would equal out? I'm not sure.

Thank you! And I just baked some chicken, so I have a bunch to eat now :) did you notice anything that was bad that I was eating? I personally cant imagine, but what do i know

Please re-read my intro. Maybe I need to start a whole new topic.

again. I don't log like i should. I eat a more than my previous entries indicate. i was just asking about today. so far.

Thats why i said today was the rare day that i actually (so far) have recorded everything i ate. I'm new. I'm not consistant. at all.

Now I'm worried I won't get more advice other than 'eat more' lol. it's only 330pm where im at, i'm not done with my day ;P I'm always told I am gonna eat too much fruit...even though i have lots of it, and would enjoy eating lots of it, lol. Is what I've ate so far healthy though? as far as the content? thanks for…

Omg yes i do plan on eating waaaaay more food, haha! I just meant thus far..

I assumed that i would have to join a gym first in order to do that (which costs more $$ than I can afford for a membership) My apartment has a little fitness center of its own, and I would like to utilize it more. So yes, I would be interested in getting some sessions in with someone who could teach me to do these types…

I can admire that, haha. Strength training i find intimidating, although I know its something I should get into.

I wanted to ask, why don't you do any cardio?

I know this is going to sound completely stupid and you're gonna go 'why is this chick even on here?' But i'm not sure I follow what you're saying. As in, idk what macros are. Yup. I'm that out of the loop :(

because....?

Not recently, no. I was pretty dedicated to using this website for a while, but back then I hardly knew what i was even suppose to be measuring for! I'm open to a lot more healthy food now, so i'm more or less 'creeping' back into what i hope to be a healthier lifestyle again.

You seem very active and have a lot of muscle though...I do not, unfortunately. I guess I kinda thought the high carb/ high grain might have only applied to people who are already in awesome shape or run a million miles a day. Again, I fully admit i am uneducated on the subject. I am more looking for advice and facts, so…

I haven't the slightest idea actually, lol. just something i was rethinking about and remembering what I've heard in the past. I know my carb intake from bread,pasta,ect needs to be less (I dont eat as complex and healthy carbs as I should) and i was thinking maybe a lot of my inabilities to feel healthy and lose weight…

Well...I hope you didn't think I was trying to be nasty...I was just wondering if it was a possible healthy lifestyle... I've also experience pushers from both sides, and both are not very helpful to talk to :(

Oh my goodness, I am shocked! its obviously working for you if you've lost as much as you have, and granted I'm only a beginner in the learning stages, but for some reason that strikes me as a very non common diet routine. Im happy it works for you though :)

More wondering about the grains aspect of it too I guess. This is a 'menu plan' that a doctor gave me. Meal Plan Breakfast • 2 Grains_____________________ • 1 Dairy______________________ • 1 Fruit_______________________ AM Snack • 1 Grain_____________________ • 1 Fruit______________________ Lunch • 2…

I actually tried to even just do 100 today...but just feel sick. It's obvious that my body is missing something, but idk what.
