  • I usually plan not to workout the day I donate blood, and take it easy the next day. So I might go on my exercise bike instead of lifting weights, for example. I once did a hard workout in the morning before I donated blood, and almost fainted. The look on those poor nurses' faces! Now I just remind myself that donating…

  • I have the same thing, one lonely stretch mark... It appeared years ago, and it was the first thing that made me realize that if I kept eating the way I did, I would just balloon out. I managed to smarten up enough to not get any more but have only started getting healthy in the past two years. It did fade though, it's…

  • Unless you're worried about missing out on nutrients from carbs, I wouldn't worry about it. Many MFP users recommend eating double the "recommended" protein intake, anyways. I always go over by 50% or so (I'm also hypoglycemic) with no ill effects.

  • 3 laughing cow cheese wedges (garlic & herb), half a cup of unsweetened original almond milk, a ton of garlic and a bit of pepper for "alfredo" sauce. I made this last night and it was pretty darn good. About 70 cals per serving (made 2 servings). That sauce plus shirataki fettuccine noodles and seafood, and I was in…

  • We had oatmeal topped with 1/3 of a granny smith apple sauteed with a bit of coconut oil and 1/2 tbsp of real maple syrup. It was my first time making it, and I'm in LOVE.

  • You definitely don't have to give up anything you want to keep eating. My husband and I have each lost about 25 lbs, while still eating things like whole wheat bread, pizza on whole wheat, etc, and rice. It's just all about balance. If you want to cut back on carbs, have them at one meal a day instead of all three, or just…

  • I make sure to carry a Larabar with me at all times. They can turn around a "crash" in a few minutes because of the fruit sugars and protein. For me they're the fastest solution. I keep one in my purse and one in my car. I have found that since I began eating healthier in general, the crashes are much fewer and further…

  • I've never posted in the community before, but I LOVE savory oatmeal and had to share. Try topping your oatmeal (made with water, I've never tried this with any milk involved) with: a sunny side up egg (the runny yolk is crucial!) chopped green onions as much sriracha as you can handle drizzle of soy sauce SO GOOD. My…
