For the person that started this thread - if you look at a ketogenic diet plan - there is a carb up day that they say helps your body keep the momentum to keep losing weight - it's healthy carbs once a week - look up the exact number but I believe the once a week it's about 150-200 range...and then the rest of the week you…

Chicken breast - boneless skinless. Nature egg egg whites - if you have a Costco membership they are really cheap! Spinach - in the egg whites, for with the chicken, sauteed on its own! Silver hills little big bread - it's like one piece of sprouted grain bread chopped in too...really healthy and same amount of calories…

Hi Katie, I recognize some of those similarities in myself - sounds like you have done a great job getting down to 145 and I understand that you're terrified about gaining weight back. Here are some small suggestions I have for you, and feel free ot add me as a friend. * Log your snacks that you're eating with your friends…

Also, if you like egg salad and want to keep the calories and carbs lower, you could make the egg salad to your liking and use slices of ham or turkey as the wrap. These are awesome! I do them a lot with cucumber and laughing cow stuffing and they are so good!

This is an egg salad wrap that I used when on the Dr. Bernstein diet last year: it is under 250 cal for sure and super tasty. One dempsters bodywise whole wheat wrap, 1/4 cup egg whites, 1 tsp. hellman's half the fat mayo, green onion. Easy to make before hand...and for a warmer twist on i skip the mayo, put egg whites and…

Hi! Here are some go to -s that I make for my fiancee and that keep him full until lunch with a mid morning fruit or cheese snack. Similar to the one below; I usually prepare breakfast wraps at night with eggs or egg whites (scrambled), some salsa, cheese, sometimes bacon, often avacado or peppers, whatever you have…

According to marksdaily apple website 50-100 carbs per day is the sweet spot for "effortless weight loss" 100-150 is the maintenance range for life long 150-300 = slow insiduous weight gaine (if constant) 300 + danger zone possibiltiy to type 2 diabetes (if constant) I keep those numbers in mind and try and include a…

You've listed a lot there that you can eat so it's definitely a good starting point! Based on what you've got there - spinach salad with a good and healthy dressing is great for you - i use olive oil, lemon, and a bit of garlic and maple syrup the spinach tastes awesome! Also roasting veggies with a bit of kosher salt and…

I was in the same boat ...worked super hard to lose 20 pounds over Sept/Oct/November and then let it go a bit over the holidays and put back on around 8-10 pounds. Was very careful with eating/carbs and could only moderately exercise due to being sick but I guess a lot of it was water retention or something - within ten…

I use "circuit training" and sort of gauge it depending on how hard I worked when inputting how many minutes of exercise. Usually I don't include teh warm up as part of the time; only the time that I was working at intensity (also cuz MFP tends to overcalculate your calorie burn too)

oh I didn't see you can reply directly; I also posted some suggestions for you on this thread!

For the person who has the elliptical at home: do you also have some free weights or resistance bands; or you could pair intervals on your elliptical with body weight exercises like dips; push ups, squats, lunges, etc. There are a couple of different types of HIIT, tabata is mentioned on here which like other posters, I…

I do: butt squeezes at my desk throughout the day - leg lifts under the desk throughout the day, inner thigh lifts while seated throughout the day, and once in the aft and once in the morning get up and do a five minute routine of holding in squat postiion, holding each lunch, holding out in adductor position of each…

Here are my two cents for what they're worth: I don't know what your binge constitutes but if you are really wanting to lose the weight then you can only get away with this if you are extremely careful for the rest of the week. There are a variety of strategies that can help you with this. Also you say you have difficulty…

I don't know if you're talking to me or the other person that replied but if you mean me yes definitely feel free to add/ask whatever you need.

Hi! Don't think I can TOTALLY help you but here are some pointers in regards to your post: * There are varying opinions of whether or not dairy is bad for you. I know some people claim that i clogs your system and basically is mucus like in the body and a bunch of other things. I personally focus my diet on portion control…

It's not really about the calories burned it's about the fact that when there is alcohol in your system your body metabolizes that first and has to burn off the liquor calories before it can burn the food you ate, let alone the stored fat that anyone trying to lose weight is trying to get at. Even if it were to take you…
