Most adults don't even know the basics of a healthy lifestyle, only few of those I know actually have any idea what food is high in carbonhydrates and what is high in protein - most even don't get what the benefits of protein, for example is. They think 'diet' and 'low fat' is good - no need to know more than that. And…

That's sadly what happens all too often when you work with people. I work in a supermarket for some extra money and the things I've seen in these past almost five years.... *shakes head* Just last week someone grabbed some of our salads, ripped it into shreds, spread it all around the supermarket and confronted with my…

I love food, but with enough time on the treadmill or anything alike, I can eat whatever the hell I want. So, love it would be.

I don't get hungry with 1200 kcal net, but I get urges, and the only thing that helps is pulling myself together. Those cherries and melons in the kitchen? The yoghurt and chocolate I hid from my ever-omnomnom-ing family? I've been eyeing them for some time now, but I have my carbs down at 35%, so it's not always an…

I only tried two so far, so I can't really tell you much about which brand is nice and which isn't. However, I suggest looking at Amazon, for example. They have quite a number of shakes there and a lot of people write reviews directly about each brand. That way I decided to give it a try and just ordered one of the BSN…

0.6 kg may seem only little, but it's perfectly fine for a week and by no means too slow. I wouldn't get my hopes up about losing much more in a week the healthy way. But perhaps instead of doing cardio alone, you can try adding some excercise that adds strength training. Go lifting if you can, try a Jillian Michaels…

I don't see why so many people are so fascinated with them. I always had them, even with 40+ pounds additionally, but I don't see what's special about them....

I continue like every day. Just as you won't gain because of one day, decreasing calories won't make me lose in one day. It's about not losing control - or regaining it. As such, eating not enough or less than usually is not something I'd consider helpful.

Why do organizations promote things? For facts, for lies, for money, for reasons unknown, because they can - what do I know? And what do I care? One organization may be as corrupt as any other and I don't have enough contact with the NIH to judge whether they fall under that category or not. Is that so? Would you truly say…

There are plenty of articles out there that vegetarians live longer, and there are probably just as much that say they don't. To quote one I just found by googling randomly: "[...] There is no proof that a healthy vegetarian diet when compared to a healthy omnivorous diet will result in a longer life. Additionally, people…

Height only matters little. As soon as you wear high heels most men are on eye-level or below (at least for me around 5'9''/5'8''), anyway.... A head shorter than me? Two heads taller? If everything else fits, why should I give a flying F about height of all things?

I don't mind my water plain, but I'm actually picky about the brand bought. Some waters taste better than others....

Video games, sometimes movies, comics, animes, drawing.... I'm a born couch-potato. Edit: Tsk. Now I forgot the smut. Smut is important.

I certainly agree that targets should be challenging; change is all about challenges. However, I'm not sure if that goes for calories per day as well - after all, actually losing weight is a challenge in itself, one that already forced plenty of people to their knees. Even if I could lower it (which I can't, seeing as I'm…

For some reason I would really like a cat suit, I just don't know where to wear it yet :laugh:

Perhaps buy new running shoes? A new sports bra? New pants? New dumbbells? I'm always motivated to try out new things, so maybe that helps you as well <3

Hurrhurr~! (Not that I'm complaining. I'm more than content with my friends and my studies~)

They are self-made? I thought they were not. Apologies, I'm not familiar with what's sold in the UK. (We actually have a famous cook over here called Rach, so that led me a bit astray it seems :D") It was down for so long? Guess I was lucky with my timing then. (A bit scary how much I depend on that thing now, lawl) The…

Hurrr, I could use more Mondays like this :bigsmile:

I started about 4 weeks ago with some strength training (body weight and dumbells, also 30 Day Shred) when I was barely able to do 2 correct push-ups, and probably only because I occassionally work at a supermarket and have to carry heavy stuff around. The second time my chest was close to the floor my arms would simply…

Do you always get hungry around the same time of the night? Because that might just be your body being used to this - especially if you give in. I used to get hungry around midnight some time, because I had to work until 10PM and started eating after work - my body got so used to this that I felt hungry every night, always…

No, especially not if you use the standard configuration by MFP. The standard here is 15%, but some members change it to 30% or higher and lower on carbs (I set it to 35% carbs, 35% protein, 30% fat). So really, if you don't eat tons of fish/meat every day, it's not unhealthy - probably even better this way. With 15…

I'll definitely, definitely get another tattoo once I'm close to my goal weight (since it's less about the number for me, but more about the looks and feeling). Part of the family will not be amused, but they can kiss my new, sexy behind for all I care.

X-Ray Dog's songs like Dark Empire 2.0, or Revolutionary, and Two Steps From Hell (Dark Ages for example) work wonders to get my lazy *kitten* moving and songs like Mass Effect II's Suicide Mission turn your run into a fight of life and death. Not much of a Hip Hop person, but Eminem's Lose Yourself is definitely one of my…

Oh come on, heroes are boring.... I'd rather be a supervillain. I'd love to manipulate gravity.... Ohohohoho, the mischief~! ♥

Stumbled across this and found it amazingly motivating. I also liked the Einstein one very much. Thank you <3

Hmmm, have you tried white fish? Pangasius for example? Or Tilapia? Those kinds of fish mainly consist of protein and little to no fat. Also, instead of dressing you could use balsamico and nothing else. Takes some getting used to, but a better alternative if you're having problem with too much fat. Cheese is usually high…

Have you tried lifting or anything similar to get some muscles? Another thing you might want to try is going low-carb, meaning about or less than 100 a day, instead eating more protein and healthy fat~

I once made the mistake of working out on the cross trainer with already quite some nasty cramps - because I read it might actually help. Guess what happened? I ended up on the bathroom floor, curled into a ball, alone, crying and begging for something, anything to end this pain. Try telling me - or anyone - to man up in…
