My dad has always had high blood pressure so when my parents got married, Mom stopped cooking with salt. Fast forward 37 years later with me at 25 and I don't cook with salt, either. Of course, I have low blood pressure and never meet my sodium goals...

I don't have the Nutribullet, but I do have the original Magic Bullet and love it. Got one for my mom, too. The mother of a baby she sits for uses the Baby Bullet for the baby's food, and she loves it. Bullet makes a good product!

You can deadlift on a treadmill? That's what this whole thing is about, right? Reading while on a treadmill?

Found it!

I usually do, the first time I see someone in a forum from here. Especially when it's somewhere I don't expect a lot of my fellow Mountaineers to be based on our demographics, like a fitness or gaming forum. Utah's almost as pretty a place as WV, so it can't be that bad. ;) I'm 5'8", so height isn't my issue; I just have…

The only light beer I like is Miller Chill, and only because the lime flavor is so nice I don't really notice how weak the beer is. That's my go-to beer when I don't have enough calories for the real stuff.

High 5 West Virginia! I don't wear shoes most of the day, but I work from my house and often from on top of my bed (like right now!). I don't like getting my shoes on the furniture so I just don't wear them most of the day. Or out to my mailbox, even though I stepped on a bee once and I'm mildly allergic and my foot…

Oh my god that face is Plank from Ed, Edd & Eddy

Here's something else to consider: humans have more taste buds as children than as adults, as the nerve endings die off as we age. So every little bit of bitterness in vegetables is painfully apparent to them that we can't even taste.

Please don't allow your children to eat from the trash can.

Put yourself as Lightly Active for playing with your kids, then log the times you make a point of exercising (lunch walks, gym days, etc). That seems like it would be the most accurate. :)

It sounds like he's trying to justify his pushing because you can't wear the wedding rings, which presumably cost him a lot of money. Try wearing them as a necklace until you complete your current, totally reasonable weight loss plan and can wear them on your finger again. That way everyone can see them, know you're…

Figure out what works for you. If chocolate turns you into a ravenous beast and you can't stop eating it, it might be worth removing it from your house until you can learn to control yourself around it; try getting a small chocolate something while eating out or running errands, making sure it's SMALL and that you can't…

I like to make whole scrambled eggs with a bit of mayonnaise in the morning, but in the afternoon I don't like yolks. It's the same way that my coffee in the morning has to be hot, but any other time of day it has to be cold or I don't like it. Call it a quirk. With my egg whites in the afternoon, I like fresh spinach or…

Sauteeing mushrooms. I can't stand the taste, but I love to cook them for my family because I love the smell.

Try using the Search feature on the menu below Message Boards >> Food and Nutrition. This question has been asked a ton of times.

Orange and chocolate mix fine (I don't like it, but lots do). But something happens when orange juice and chocolate pudding mix that tastes like Death is personally sharpening his scythe on your tongue like a leather strop.

It's "crazy" until someone's chocolate pudding and orange juice touch. It doesn't matter that they mix in the stomach, it's annoying when things that don't go together mix on your taste buds.

Your net calories are at 1200, meaning you need to complete your day at 1200 calories. If you eat 1200, then exercise off 900, then you're at 300. That's a very dangerous long-term number. You're supposed to eat most or all of those calories back. The 1200 calories takes into account the exercise level you put in…

Correct.

I like to mix 1/4C 4% milkfat cottage cheese with 1T creamy peanut butter. I've been eating that for lunch almost every day the last two weeks and it's reeeeaaally good. Only 150 calories but it sticks with me a lot longer than most other lunches.

Set your normal daily activity level to Lightly Active and don't log it separately. That's what it's for. :) ETA a smiley because that sounded a lot more harsh than I meant it to.

How often do you clean? Do you straighten up a little each day, or do you spend one day a week doing each room all at once? That should be your answer.

I'm 2.5% LARGER than I thought! HAHAHAHA! They don't make it very clear that you can pick between body types.

Unless your doctor told you to watch your sugar intake, there's no reason to watch your sugars. While you can get fat on fruit, it's pretty difficult. Fruit sugars "count," but sugar itself isn't an indicator of a food's nutrition. The reason we get fat from eating sugary foods isn't because of the sugar itself, but…

At the time David Zinczenko was writing that book, it was true. It hasn't been true for a year and a half. http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/01/31/10282876-mcdonalds-drops-use-of-gooey-ammonia-based-pink-slime-in-hamburger-meat?lite

It would be pretty cool if discipline was the only reason people binged and there was a switch you could turn on and off, wouldn't it? Wish anything could be that easy.

You are supposed to, but depending on your calorie goals you may or may not have to. For instance if you're told to eat net 1400 and exercise off more than 200 to fall below net 1200, you really should eat at least some of them back to get enough calories for you organs to work properly.

Thanks. The director is also the choreographer AND a former beauty pageant contestant. They're doing a production of Chicago right now and I didn't get in because she just ignores me. She even cast girls who are bigger than me and equally good dancers because they haven't been put on the "ignore" list yet. Oy vey.
