  • The metabolism might be true but I have found it is more about lifestyle. When I was younger (I am 28 now) it was easier to be active because sports and "playing" were built into the day. Now with my career and other responsibilities, I find that I have to be more intentional with trying to be active.It can be hard but it…

  • Guess I will add to this conversation. I agree with everyone is different and responds differently to these two methods (eating back calories or not). I think both are fine as long as it does not prevent you from receiving all the nutrients and calories that you need for daily functioning. Your body does need certain…

  • I agree with it being how you approach the person, and really you never know how they are going to react or what they are really thinking behind their fake smile. That being said, introducing yourself and first asking if they would be ok with some tips would be a good opener. I also think that coming from a personal…

  • I still drink, but a lot less then I used to. Usually drinking heavily leads to poor food choices but have found if you track the calories and still make sure you are getting all your nutrients throughout the day, a drink here and there is not going to have a profound effect.

  • I used to drink a good amount a week, not all at once, but it definitely added up over time. I did cut back some alcohol which helped my eating habits and allowed me to use those calories for more nutritious foods. That being said I still have one once in awhile and have not seen any big differences. Everything in…

  • Do not try and change your life all in one day. Make small,manageable changes slowly. Those who try to make many changes too soon often get discouraged and give up.

  • I agree with the fact that it is more about her, not about you. If you can mentally convince yourself a goal is not obtainable, then why try? Ignorance is bliss, in a sense.

  • Paleo type eating for breakfast can be tough. Just remember that breakfast is like any other meal it just happens to be in the morning, so eating smoked salmon or something similar can be an option. I had a friend who ate Paleo for breakfast and she made something called omelet muffins. It still involves eggs but you can…

  • Plan a late snack into your calorie count. I am a big fan of the theory of thought to eat when your hungry, just make sure it is something healthy. I have noticed that when you eat, especially when focused on losing weight, has very little to do with "when" but more with "what". I just can't eat too much food at night…

  • I would also suggest grilling fruit such as peaches. Split peach in half and remove pit. Brush the cut side of each half with olive oil and sprinkle with a little cinnamon. Grill flesh side down on medium high heat for about 5 minutes (try to resist moving the peach around so it gets those nice grill marks) then flip and…

  • Grilled asparagus spears. Marinate them for about an hour in olive oil, salt, pepper, and about 2 TBL of balsamic vinegar. Grill them off heat until desired tenderness. Easy and rockin' delicious.

  • Just a quick comment. I actually never heard of cordial but it is important to take into the amount of sodium in water with added flavors. I would recommend just some plain water or water infused with some fresh fruits like lemons, limes or both. :smile:

  • Hello, I have been surprised to see a lot of posts on the message boards about individuals buying protein powder. Is this something that has been prescribed by a doctor? Typically you can get plenty of protein through a normal diet and if you are looking to save some money, eliminate the protein powder all together.…
