I pretty much eat between 11 am and 7 or 8 pm, usually. I'm a natural-born breakfast skipper. But, I do find that if I eat earlier in the morning for some reason, I'll still want to eat the same amount throughout the rest of the day. And if I eat later in the evening, I'm more likely to snack up until bedtime. So keeping…

Just don't feel like you need to give up anything that you particularly don't want to give up. There's no reason for it, and it will probably backfire on you in the long run.

Can you exercise at home? It might be easier if you don't have to spend the extra time driving to gym. Less mental effort, too, maybe.

+1 for butter and lard. :) I think the OP was thinking at least partially of packaged products though, where hydrogenated oil is more likely to be used for cost, texture, and/or shelf-life reasons. For me, the bottom line is that I wouldn't turn down a box of crackers if I wanted them, just because they had hydrogenated…

I beg your pardon, but fully hydrogenated oils do not contain trans fat. What THAT process does is to turn an unsaturated fat into a saturated fat. So, if you want to avoid that, then that's a whole other issue. Google is your friend: http://www.berkeleywellness.com/healthy-eating/food/article/hydrogenated-oils…

If in doubt, check the nutrition information and the ingredients. In the U.S., anyway (not sure where you are). FDA labelling requires trans fat to be listed in the nutrition info if its over .5 gram, and the ingredients will say either partially hydrogenated or just hydrogenated. ETA:…

You don't. But, I can't see any harm in suggesting to him that you're worried about his long-term health and telling him that you're hoping to spend as many years together as possible.

I'm sorry...are you saying you would need 3 cups of whole wheat for each cup of white called for? I think I must not be understanding that correctly. I've always substituted them freely but even if you don't recommend that, I think you must not mean 3 to 1.

Are you making substitutions in your baking? Whole wheat flour can be substituted for white flour 1 to 1. For the agave (or any other syrup or honey) what you quoted sounds about right.

I think you may be confusing partially-hydrogenated oil with (fully) hydrogenated oil. The former contains trans fat, the latter does not. That's why peanut butter (and most other products) have it, even with a ban on the partially-hydrogenated kind taking effect next year.

That's a really nifty factoid to carry around, there.

There really isn't a "right combo" of things for weight loss. If you've lost 6 pounds in 2 weeks, that's a very decent loss. Just keep doing what you're doing.

I use it in muffins regularly. I use the granulated blend, not the kind that is blended with brown sugar. Its not terrible. I find it works better for me in things where I want a milder amount of sweetness. In very sweet things the aftertaste becomes more noticeable than I'm willing to deal with.

I think he's probably insecure, and I think he's probably jealous. Everybody has to find their own way to handle these things, but I'd look him straight in the eye and say "my @$$ look fabulous, and you know it." And such true things. Without heat or malice, and with a smile.

ah. the elegance of your methodology puts me to shame :)

I seriously doubt that its hundreds per slice. Do you feel that you are dabbing up more than a full tablespoon of oil from each slice? You could (if you were really dedicated) do a comparison test by pouring a tablespoon full of oil into a place and then putting a paper towel on top of it to compare. My guess is that its…

The military diet gives you a 3-day menu of about 1200 calories a day, and tell you to choose your own 1500 calories for the other 4 days of the week. I say, why not choose your own calories for all 7 days, and eat what you enjoy? It will amount to exactly the same thing. And then throw in a little extra activity if you…

have you checked out sparkteens.com? its a fitness site made particularly for kids your age, and I suspect you could get alot of good advice and support there.

Oh, I dunno. I've lost 40 pounds over the last 6 months. I turned 50 in November. The last month has been rather slower, but I'm pretty sure that's my fault. The only thing I AM noticing is that I do have a little extra middle-aged padding around my midsection that I didn't have 10 or even 5 years ago, which is annoying me.

Yeah, I pretty much hate it every time it happens. The fact that you've been really sore means that you're probably retaining some water, which your muscles need to recuperate from a heavy workout. Take a couple of deep breaths and try to be patient. If you let yourself get discouraged by fluctuating numbers on the scale,…

Thanks sweetie, but I think you meant to tag @callsitlikeiseeit with that one. I've only lost 40 so far. :)

Skip the sauce or get it on the side if you can. Chicken (if you skip the skin) is leaner than trimmed brisket, which is leaner than pork shoulder. Approach things with mayonnaise with moderation. Good luck, and I hope you have a great time!

I would try Yelp for some reviews by people that use your local franchise. I know you've seen (and posted in) the last PF thread that's still active. So I'm not sure what you expect to hear in a new one, except basically the same things from the same people.

There is some thinking in a portion of the medical community that 2300 mg is unnecessarily low for healthy people with no heart disease or high blood pressure. Its not an opinion that's really caught on yet in the mainstream. However, even if a higher number eventually becomes a new recommendation, 6664 is still up there.…

LOL. It IS hard to go when you're already tired. Do you feel better after the workout?

Sounds like aerobics. Or maybe cardio kickboxing. If your feet leave the ground and then impact it again with your body weight behind them, its impactful. If they do it a lot, its high impact. Impact is not the same as intensity.

Have them over the weekend for an extra treat!

I'm at 186 but there's a gentleman in my friend feed who is at over 1200 days and another at over 900. These guys are "fitness loggers."

Serious questions: 1. Was it your mere overwhelming presence that set off the alarm, or some accidentally dropped weights or what? and 2. Did someone literally tell you that you had to leave because you were intimidating? Thanks in advance for satisfying my curiosity.
