  • i don't know how long ago you posted this, or if you're still interested, but i live between 53rd and 55th on T-bird :)
  • chicken. i hate chicken. the only way i actually like chicken is fried, and that's a no-no. if i never ate chicken in any form ever again, i wouldn't miss it at all.
  • I forgot to mention: you need carbs. everyone needs carbs. it is one of our body's most fundamental building blocks. yes, you will lose weight rapidly be avoiding carbs entirely, however you'll be "skinny fat". That means you used your muscle to feed your body what it was lacking and now you can't open the pickle jar to…

  • Thank you, everyone, for your input. It matters a lot to me. "Pancua" is right- i'm not emotionally or financially ready for something like this. I asked my PCP for a simple diet plan, and his first answer was Medi-fast. That is NOT a diet of food, and is not realistic for me, and does not teach anyone about nutrition or…
  • Hello, I'm fairly new here too. I have no idea what i'm doing lol. i just try to make it to the gym everyday, and hope my caloric intake is in the green at the end of the day. any suggestions?
