I think the reason that weight gain can be tied to eating late is pretty simple. It has NOTHING to do with the actual timing, or gaining fat in your sleep. People who eat a big breakfast tend to eat less during the day. If you eat late at night that may cause you to not be hungry in the morning. Its a vicious cycle. That…

I have two young son's and make veggie stir fry ALL the time. I use brown rice (can make this the day before if you want). 1 lb bag of frozen veggies (the kids like california blend) of your choice. Put a tablespoon of either sesame oil or olive oil in a wok, stir fry your veggies for 5 minutes, for the sauce I use 1/4 soy…

Why?

Is it just a shot of caffeine? If so caffeine is an appetite suppressant. Not the way you want to lose weight.

None. I don't drink calories (unless its the 5 that are in my morning black coffee).

I tried P90x for a while, I thought it was too hard for a newbie like me, I went down to P90 (the older version, it is just a basic weight and cardio program) and found it something I can stick too. Once I get into a little better shape I will go back to p90x

There are even newer studies coming out saying that Saturated fats are not bad for you: http://www.naturalnews.com/029930_saturated_fat_health.html http://www.truthaboutabs.com/saturated-fat-is-not-evil.html

Your mom is KILLING her metabolism. You are right to tell her she will balloon when she eat's "normal". Most people here take a different approach to weight loss, I am not on a diet, I am changing my diet forever. I log EVERYTHING I put in my mouth. I also log exercise that I do. I then try to keep my NET calories…

Wow you must be a real blast to be around. So spontaneous. <can you hear my eyes rolling>

Did you read what I said about personal finance? Isn't any form of entertainment wasteful spending? Why would you do such a thing then?

THIS!

I agree its not a "cheat day", however I don't call it relapsing. Being on MFP has changed the way I look at food. I treat my meals and most of my snacks as fuel for my body. When I do that, I eat "clean", as some people call it, most of the time. However, if I eat some home made cookies, or a piece of cake, etc now and…

I will say if you have ANY other Apple device, sticking with Apple products is a good thing, They really do work well together, that being said, I don't think I could handle the boundaries put on you by apple products. I was an Android user from day one, I currently have a Droid X and will upgrade to a Samsung phone in…

Subway is just, if not more, preprocessed food than McDonald's. As I posted on another thread, I have been doing MFP for 30 days. It has fundamentally changed the way I look at food. Yet, I still eat at McD and Sonic and Chipoltle now and then. The difference is, I now know EXACTLY what I am putting in my body, I log it,…

Mine is public. I believe.

I have been logging for 30 days now. I still eat McD for breakfast now and then. I still take my kids to McD or sonic now and then. I had a cookout with my family and ate baked beans, Chicken, a Hot Dog, AND a burger. I have eaten birthday cake, cookies etc. The thing is, those events are 1-3 times A MONTH. In a month I…

If people weren't afraid of irradiating food, none of this would be necessary . We are fickle creatures aren't we?

What kills me is that people stress out over a single piece of cake or a cookie or a drink, but at the same time eat processed prepackaged meals everyday. (Not saying that the OP does this). If you eat healthy and "clean" (i don't really like that word, but I understand the sentiment) most of the time, there is NOTHING…

I have a small piece. Log it. And move on.

I don't have a way to post a picture but my at work snacks are: - Whole Roasted Soy Beans - Whole Almonds (which I pair with dates) - Cottage Cheese - Dark Chocolate Dreams (by Peanut Butter and Co.) for pairing with Banana's or apples. - Bob's Red Mill 10 grain hot cereal (for breakfast or a snack)

I use them instead of Mayo on sandwiches. DELICIOUS!

Up your potassium intake, don't buy prepackaged ANYTHING, and drink lots of water.

Why on earth would you buy a prepackaged substitute when you can get a dozen eggs for 1.49 and separate them your self, or just eat them whole! Also dietary cholesterol DOES NOT RAISE CHOLESTEROL LEVELS IN YOUR BLOOD!

-Bob's Red Mill 10 Grain Cereal with some Brown Sugar (I use a Tablespoon at 52 calories) -Healthy Omlet:3 egg whites, 1 whole egg, 1/4c green pepper, 1/4c spinach, 6 grape tomatoes sliced, 1/4c Mozzeralla cheese, spices to taste) 268 Calories and 30g protien

Coffee! 125mg per 8oz

I think that is the beauty of MFP, I did the same thing with calories and sodium and it really helped me make better choices :D

Seconded!

Anyone know of a FULL FAT, Low Sodium cottage cheese?
