I said the exact same thing - just recently actually - and did a lot of research and a few posts... I was watching carbs, thinking "bad!"... But once I started meeting a goal (the one set by my trainer, and making sure that every meal (generally 6 per day) had a carb and protein each time (losing to the rumor no carbs…

So Jerry - don't eat any fruit or even green beans that was part of my sugar yesterday and today??? It's in natural foods was kinda my point ... if you showed the sugar on your diary - you can't completely cut it out when it's natural just as the bananas and such in your food...

And no worries on me eating too much fruit - it takes everything I have to eat what I do eat - not my favorite!!!

Here's the video I mentioned: http://www.corinnedobbas.com/2013/02/how-to-fight-unhealthy-sugary-cravings/

Thanks Wolfman - I admit it's NOT always - like the zone protein bars kills with sugar and fat... but like someone else said, MFP is not designed to differeniate healthy fats / sugars... I try to think of carbs as sugar more since I attended a diabetes class with an ex - (I'm not) and my only health condition is my HDL's…

That's my thinking too - the same with fats... My fat goes over sometimes because of healthy fats, such as avocados and tofu...which makes it quite depressing to look at the red, when you sit and think okay - so did what I eat... was it really that unhealthy? Especially things that are on the meal plans offered by the…

Shows you are doing something right!!! I've heard guys grunt to where it echos... granted HUGE weights... but it's okay for them!!! Go for it!! If they don't like it, they can buy ear plugs!! LOL... Better than the guy snoring in Yoga the other night!

Rotterdam, I agree with you, i am having a hard time understanding this concept too...

I actually press mine the night before or the morning of... so I do for quite a few hours and it's so firm - bakes up great... You can also use tofu make salad dressings, smoothies, and so much - it's quite versatile - search for recipes, this is my favorite part... !!!

Aranda - One More Lie - I will stay on Octane on Sirius ALL DAY and then on to the gym with it!

I have the same issue - only I don't lose pounds, I am just losing some inches... slowly - the restroom issue, if you are eating a lot of protein that will do it!!!

I switch it up ... use egg beaters and cook ahead frittatas, use morning star veggie sausages and scramble egg beaters for a quick sandwich, cereal with almond milk, english muffin with peanut butter, though i am switching to PB2 as soon as it comes in to reduce the fat calories and steel milled oats... but I'll use high…

Go with your gut - not advice... And either way - you NEVER want to ruin a good thing over something that never is or was...

It's funny because I've had two trainers tell me you can burn more on a treadmill if you use higher inclines... which I have and do... I hate elipticals.... but have found the Precor AMT burns more than both of them and is similar to both in ways too... and adds stepper in there too... it burns higher than both and quite…

You can do just about anything with it - use it to make dressings, smoothies (use silken for this), drop in salads rather than chicken, chili, even a sandwich like a BLT... just make sure you press it first... put on a plate of paper towels, put a plate or pan on top and then I use soup cans for weight to press the liquid…

Here's a recipe for you to try! Salmon on a Bed of Lentils Simmered with carrots, turnips and thyme, the lentils make a lovely, hearty bed for the salmon fillets, which are gently cooked on top of them for easy one-dish preparation. Green (Le Puy) lentils are smaller and more delicate than other varieties and hold their…
