I know we have spent that much before, meat is expensive, when you are on a high protein diet, easy to add up, i added up my debits online for august , it was $1200 .....that was an expensive month...keep your receipts , you will be surprised.

peanut butter, sunflower seeds , and banana chips ...oh and pizza

we spend about $800 for 2 people a month ....insane , we may eat out 1- 2 times a month, rather cook myself so I know what i'm eating

I brush my teeth...seems to do the trick...weird but it works.....and I too have a late supper , usually around 7 - 7:30

eating big macs is not an accomplishment, I have eaten probably 12,000 potatoes in 30 years...accomplishment? really? :laugh: sorry sad thing to be an "accomplishment" , I hardly call that a success.

agreed...for weight loss carbs from 100 -150 g a day is perfect or less if you can. Also a carb is a carb, no matter where its coming from, fruit or whatever, your body does not know the difference, its a carb. IMO you are eating too many carbs.

yes, I am doing 40-40 -20 macro setting, carbs at 20%, fat and protein at 40%, and doing great I lost about 9 pounds that I was trying to get off, and now maintaining and a suitable weight and BF%

this^^ if they aren't there , I won't eat it

I have been eating 2- 3 whole eggs a day for almost a year and my blood results came back and my cholesterol is NORMAL....don't believe the hype ...eggs yolks are full of nutrients and are healthy :)

I find actually measuring the ounces I have cut back, and also I drink white, so I put ice cubes in it to water it down, seems to work, I love my wine at the end of a long day , I have cut back to about 2-3 nights a week, summer is harder with all the parties and BBQ's too.

Sorry but why is that an accomplishment ...sad

again ... IMO I recover better post workout , and build more muscle now by using Bcaa's , protein powder is just a bonus for me as I am Paleo and need the protein as I am low carb.

BCAA’s are the building blocks of protein and they make up over 30% of the muscle tissue in your body. When you consume a high quality protein source of food, the protein is broken down through digestion leaving you with BCAA’s which are then sent through the blood stream and either used as fuel, to repair and build your…

after for recovery for sure, i drink bcaa's before and during , however my BF drinks it before and after

true for sure, but alot of people are choosing to eat healthier as well as keeping to their calories, eating foods with nutritional value , not empty calories. also some people will binge if certain foods are in the house and will destroy their calories for the day, I am guilty of that with nut butters

i gave it up once for about a month and lost 5 pounds lol..but now I have it in moderation for sure , could never give it up

add avocado and tuna

CW 113 5'2" age 39 daily cal -1490

tuna mixed with avocado and ground pepper, with a salad or veggie sticks.

2500 is the max i think, 1800 is def a good amount , our bodies need sodium too

It will help for sure, I suggest joining the paleo groups on here for more info and forums

pumpkin seeds, egg yolks, raisins and prunes are all high in iron :happy:

peanut butter , almond butter, sunflower seed butter...pretty much any nut butter, I will eat it all

Exercise and watching food ...I went from 170 to 113 , i'm 5'2" by exercising, and cutting out all the garbage....no more fast food, soda, etc. eating more whole foods, less processed. Sticking to what works for you too :happy:

i like the lights on when working out :laugh:

this, ^^ thank you !

WOW@!! amazing transformation!!! well done!

agreed we all have those days once in a while , move on and tomorrow will be better !!! :bigsmile:
