i don't see how green smoothies are not real food lol spinach banana, strawberries, kale, pb etc are not real food? lol when i was doing them in jan before i got sick (colitis flare) i lost 11 lbs (first month back on the band wagon after holidays so water weight too i am sure). I was only having them for breaky (and i did…

sugar, carbonated drinks and sugar/dairly combo (ice cream or iced capps) are the worse for me so now i avoid them. pair those with stress and bam. owwie! but over all sugar i am learning is where it's worst for me

i am currently on prednisone for 6 weeks on my way stepping down from it... first time on it ever, had the worst flare up i've ever had 15-20 times a day, blood all day every day, going on asacol didn't help as it's preventative and i was already too far gone.... (i controlled with diet before). prednisone has kept me out…

as others have said, for me it just means trying to limit heavily processed foods and getting more whole ingredients and making things from scratch where i can. do i buy only organic nope not in this podunk town, too pricy. but if i can i will, and farm fresh eggs and meat are nice when available too. if i want cookies…

i never thought i liked it either cuz every time i'd had it it was mushy, i am glad i was adventurous enough to try on my on terms lol

mines world cuisine off of amazon the paderno one is on there too (i thought i ordered that one they look the same and similar price lol)

I usually pack mine to go, protein, veg, some good fats, and some fruit, rounding out around 300-350 cals egg/egg white, brussel sprouts, sausage, 1/4 avocado and fruit ham egg muffin cup thingies, cucs, fruit

my first zoodles attempt 2 nights ago! delicious! and last nights supper with the left over sauce spag squash lasagna bowl cauli pizza pulled pork on quinoa and sweet potato :)

whatever works! it's yummy! i didn't already own a mandoline (chopped my finger once) lol so this was a good idea for me and maybe safer haha! :)

man i really am the killer of threads, even ones i started :( lol

No low carbing here either, just trying to limit refined sugars and carbs a bit otherwise i'd have pasta 5 nights a week lol, and this was delicious and bloat and guilt free since it was all about my yummy sauce haha! for the first time i was contemplating mixing it with a half serving of pasta, but it wasn't needed…

me? 1/2 cup greek yogurt (plain or vanilla), 2tbsp pb, and some cinnamon --- mix well serve with apples (or other fruit, celery), even better if left to chill and mingle a bit in the fridge first. :)

zoodles for the first time with veg packed spag bol. and i didn't think i liked zucchini. yum!!!! guilt and bloat free! yay

check out whole30 website, :) might be a starting point. don't have to go that far but they take out sugars and refined carbs as well was the probiotic VLS3 i hear a lot of good things about that one.

sorry! lol

olives/pickles celery and hummus usually takes care of my salty/crunchy craving a few tostitos (actually now my fave is "waybetter snacks sweeet potato" tortilla c hips - sooo good) and salsa mixed with cottage cheese

so good I just got mine and made zoodles for the first time last night! yum yum and i dont even really like zucchini lol

my new snack crack lol (2 servings if you behave) 1/2 cup greek yogurt (plain or vanilla) 2tbsp pb some cinnamon I dip apple and strawberries, but any fruit and prob celery would be yum! Other faves are cottage cheese and salsa with veggies hummus and veg berries/fruit obviously cheese string/ham boiled eggs lettuce wraps…

more like snack but tastes like dessert... fruit dipped in greek yogurt/pb/cinnamon dip... it's like crack, so good!

^^^ this :)

Mine is magenta15 :)

not that I stopped liking anything... in my head i still want the things (pop, big mac, iced cap... but then i taste it and it doesn't taste as good as it used to, too sweet, too sugary, too fake) so I think my taste buds have just become more accustomed to less processed crap and that stuff isn't as appealing as my mind…

macdonalds (big mac)... havent had it since before xmas and don't really want to. for fear how it will make me feel. I've had the odd breaky sammich, but if I really want a burger i tend to go for a real more satisfying one in a sit down restaurant or home made :) with home made mac sauce :) also iced capps (tim hortons)…

poutine is a french canadian delicious heart attack .... fresh cut fries, squeaky fresh cheese curds and gravy

maple bacon choco bar = yuck maybe maple bacon alone and choco bar alone be yum lol Poutine!

pulled a size smaller of jeans out of my closet for today... same as my other pair but less sloppy looking, yay :)

i like salsa mixed with cottage cheese to dip with whole grain chips, celery, whichever veg really, also like it on taco salad. also do hummus with all veggies, sometimes corn type chips, or pita. hummus and celery/carrots fulfills my salty crunchy desires lol

eyes and smile :)

chick pea blondies? sweet potato hummus? mac n cheese with pumpkin or squash for the creamy sauce, chocolate mousse made with avocado

really? i can pretty much find something reasonable wherever I go, and if not you just get what you like but only eat half... If I really want that big creamy saucy pasta dish I will get it, chances are I'm full about half way anyway, and only take a bite or two of the bread or give it to hubs lol. or I start with a salad…
