So I take it that you have been maintaining your weight after having your baby. What you want to do now is lose weight. To do that you need to change from a maintenance diet/lifestyle to a weight loss diet/lifestyle. Weight loss is created a calorie deficit. You create a deficit by limiting the number of calories you eat…

There is probably some fat in the broth to make it delicious, and lots of salt. i love pho too, the noodles are killer tho.

You should share your thoughts with her. Just saying everyting will be ok doesn`t help I find .Give here a reality check and tell her she is better off without him. I'm more of a realist, i appreciate the honest truth. I`m also way more intellecttual than emotional. That doesn`t make me insensitive, but I think you should…

Proper eating habits, a sensible diet, exercise and perserverance will make you drop significant weight, get healthy and stay fit for life. Detoxs and 1 or 2 month diets won't have a permanent effect. Thik about it, you did something that cause your body to get to where it is now, to change that you need to change what you…

Half of the comments from the women in here is the equivalent of men shouting and whistling at women. When women post massive body chagnes like this I think everybody is able to keep the comments mature and classy. Double standard perhaps ladies? Anyways, insane work. I`m massively impressed that you did that in 7 months.

protein powder is a byproduct of cheese production. It is the protein that is taken out of milk when they produce cheese. The fact that is has no fat is great when your goal is to up your protein without the fat. A scoop of protein powder in a blender with milk and frozen fruit makes a delicious smootie, that is super…

http://www.freedieting.com/tools/nutrient_calculator.htm That calculator will help you set your goals. If you are aiming for 50 grams of carbs on a 1440 cal diet you are aiming for 14% of your nutrients to be carbs. The otehr 86% has to be portein and fat, so like 46% protein and 40% fat. You change your MFP goals in your…

It sounds like the worst decision you made was going to burger place. The other activities sound like part of life that can't be cut out completely. I try and fit those nights out as cheat days every now and then. Just becasue we are trying to lose weight doesn`t mean we have to stop having fun all together. Wings and…

whatever you do, do it in moderation.

Quinoa. Sardines. Tuna.

if 10-20% of weight loss comes form cardio, then 75% to 85% would be diet and 5% would be strenght training. I think cardio has a much bigger effect on fat loss then strenght training. Cardio + diet are the keys to weight loss. Strenght training will do wonders to help you keep the fat off though so keep at it.

When i wanted to get back into playing hockey I knew that I wasn`t in good enough shape also. So I pushed my cardio hard for a couple weeks. 3 weeks of cardio 4-5 times a week where you push yourself will show a lot of improvement. After those 3 weeks I brought my stamina back up to respectable level as opposed to gassed…

I`m 6'3, weigh about 265 now, I exercise 4-5 times a week and eat 2200-2400 calories per day. That results in 1-2 lbs loss per week. If I only eat 1800 cals in a day or have lower calories for a couple days, I find it very hard to get through a work out session. I eat often, 5 or 6 times a day and break my calories down…

Yo can do sit ups all day long but it won`t get rid of the fat at your mid section. You have to create a alorie deficit so tha your body starts burning it`s fat stores. YOu can`t chose where teh fat will coem off from, but if you keep at it, eventually you can get rid of all of it! YAY! To create a calorie defict you have…

THIS IS A MYTH. low weight and high reps will not help tone your muscle. Tone is created by losing fat. You lose fat by having a good diet and doing cardio. Strenght trainig builds and strenghtens muscles. Doing high reps low weight training is not strenght training , it is closer to a cardio exercise and is a waste of…

no. MFP`s protein reccomendation is half of what it should be. Aim to double what they suggest.

wow, all that processed food is having a much bigger effect on your overall health that on your weight, be it gian or loss. Your diet is mostly restaurant food and usually fast food too. They put a lot of junk ingredients in that stuff. It can be daunting to learn how to cook but you should start buying fresh food. Make a…

this site describes that study well. http://www.mendosa.com/satiety.htm The study wasn't based on how full youfelt throughout the day, but rather 2 hours after you ate the 240 calories. Holt is concerned that there may be some confusion in the interpretation of her study's findings. "The Satiety Index scores reflect the…

potatoes have a high glycimic level. You body willl digest it very quickly and it will spike your blood sugar. I disagree with the reccomendation to include them as part of your diet. Sweet potatoes would be a better choice.

If you are maintainig a calorie deficit you will not gain weight. You can build muscle, but you will still be losing fat, and you are not going to build more muscle weight than the weight of fat you burn (if you still maintain a calorie deficit). If you are gaining weight (hopefull by this you mean over 3-4 weeks and not…

absolutely. For weight loss it is important to monitor the number of calories you consume and where those calories come from. You need a balance of carbs, protein and fat to create a healthy diet. Protein powder is good healthy way to get to your target amount of protein in a day. Protein powder is especially useful after…

You should not measure how good you look just by the scale. A 200lbs person with 15% body fat looks a lot beter than a 200lbs person with 30% boby fat. This is what a reasonable objective are: I want to lose 1-2 lbs per week. I want to decrease my body fat %. I wan to my clothes to start felling lose. I want to feel more…

Well this site is intended for tracking food above being a social network. Some people probalby don`t give a hoot about making friends on here, the're in it just for the calories.

The best is to go to a local class. Doing it with people really increases your energy and drive. There is likely an ashtanga yoga place near you. It is good for what you want and not meditative or spiritually focused. I love bikrams yoga becasue it heated to an insane temperature and you start to sweat the second you walk…

going on a first date tonight! I`m going to bust out the iron and evrything too.

one of the benifts of Yoga : Flexibility "When some people think of yoga, they imagine having to stretch like a gymnast. That makes them worry that they're too old, unfit, or "tight" to do yoga. The truth is you're never too old to improve flexibility. The series of yoga poses called asanas work by safely stretching your…

you should have waited 5 minutes then brought it back to her and said: "if you aren`t going to stick to your diet you might as well have 2 pieces."

agreed, i use 55% arb, 30% protein, 15% fat.15% protein is pretty low, especially if your exercisingand trying to maintain/build muscles.

knowledge is power. If you don`t know the basics you won`t be able to apply them. Now you know what to research. no problem.

I think you are asking us becasue you want us to tell you no, so no don`t eat the pizza. As a reward for skipping the pizza, treat yourself to a nice fresh salmon filet tonight. Sure they are pricey, but everyone else is eating pizza, you should get to enjoy something delicious too ,and it's extra healthy!
