My boyfriend is going to LOVE this recipe. AWESOME. :-)

I have been vegan for quite some time and I easily get over 50g of protein on 1200-1500 cal/day without eating "meat replacements" or tofu. Fake meats and tofu are totally yummy (try Field Roast and Tofurkey products), but if you are looking to eat less processed stuff, spend less money and expand your pallet to boot, try…

Oooh it was so close to being a thread with no battling! ;-) I like this post. A short and sweet reminder that all of our intricate or nebulous strategies are just different ways to get at the same simple idea.

Here's a couple of short audio commentaries from a podcast that i found informative: 1) Milk Is A Natural Food, And Cows Naturally Give Milk, So What’s Wrong With Drinking It? "Cow’s milk is indeed a natural food – for calves! ... Our consumption of cow’s milk is even more absurd when you consider that calves stop drinking…

Less alcohol, less often? You can still have what you like but if we're talking every day... it's probably really going to impede your goals. However, this: http://getdrunknotfat.com

Hi! I see this group is not too active right now but I'm giving it a try anyway. I'm involved with running WildFire Retreat, a 4-time-a-year spinning/fire/circus arts retreat in Connecticut, US. I have taken 2 silks lessons and REALLY would love to do much more with it when I have more time to spare. Lately i have not been…

There's a a whole lot of information here, and I don't want to get caught up in precise details. I just wanted to second the INSANITY routine - i have been doing it for a few months (not straight - have to take time off for sciatica flares) and I gotta say, it really truly is one of the best workouts out there that will…

confidence and ethical sense! Oh and shoulders. Let's not forget that...

Kashi Go Lean Crisp Toasted Berry Crumble!!! FAVORITE! http://smile.amazon.com/Kashi-GOLEAN-Cereal-Toasted-Crumble/dp/B008ELO6KC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396151781&sr=8-1&keywords=kashi+berry+cereal

Agreed. It's calories in-calories out for fat loss. But, from my experience I definitely recommend less cardio and way more strength training (and don't skimp on it - you should be pretty sore!). You'll become smaller and tighter in NO time if you stick to it. Made a huge difference for me after spending countless hours…

I have EXACTLY the same problem, every single day UNLESS I work out. If I get my heart rate up for at least 25 minutes, it's like a switch that turns down my appetite to what I consider healthy - hungry for reasonably sized meals 3-5 times a day. I used to think this was simply that I didn't want to ruin my hard work, but…

SERIOUSLY... there are more reasons than just getting in shape to do the insanity DVDs every day... DAY-um!

I normally don't like to get into discussions on MFP at all because they don't seem to go anywhere. However... "Peer reviewed clinical trials" simply means that the experiment which produced the results in question can be scrutinized by anyone, repeated by anyone (under exactly the same conditions). No one cares if it's…

Maybe I am getting to basic here but this is a link to what our food labels look like: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/nutrition-facts/NU00293 Not sure if the NZ equivalent is, but if you have labelling that works its percentages/recommendations differently, it may be good to familiarize yourself now. :-) Also, not sure…

-I work out, hard, at least 5 days a week, and make sure my abs are getting attention (I am doing the Insanity DVDs). This seems to keep me from wanting to overeat not just because I worked my *kitten* off to burn fat, but because my abs feel super tight (...under the flab, heh...) and I *guess* this is leaving less room…

If you're lumping 32-year-old me in with 19 year olds, you seem like you'd make a good friend. X-D

...That was in answer to your coworker. I am using the Insanity Program and I love it. I feel amazing and the belly fat (and all the rest) is coming right off. Yeah, I use basic, don't-freak-out calorie deficit too. Healthy stuff, veggie stuff is best. Ditch the processed crap foods as much as possible. Not sure what all…

Why would anyone say that? Punch them repeatedly - to burn calories I mean. ;-)

I love that a group of night workers are replying to this at this hour... X-D LOL

i'm entering into my first winter as a night shifter myself - though my shifts are really, really mellow (in short, I watch kids sleep). In fact I mop/scrub the house almost every night not because it needs it that often, but just to move more than I otherwise would. Anywho, I don't want to recommend supplements because A)…

Hi Shayla! I'm Lisa. Welcome back. :-) I'm just getting re-started myself. I tapered off (again) because I started working overnights shifts, which took me a LONG time to get used to - I find myself getting 4-5 hours of sleep a day pretty often, and work has junk food available at any hour! So, I'm getting back on track…

Almond Joy snack size, 80 calories. One bite, 80 cals. Sheesh! Also earlier this week I had 1/2 a pumpkin muffin that was at least 250 cals (I can't find the exact brand data anywhere). The sugar in the AM sent me on an appetite roller coaster (...which went mostly up...) for the rest of the day. :-( Just a note...…

90% vegan here...freeganism plagues me at work where I get lots of free food, but I cook/buy only vegan. :-) Friend me if you like, I love to share recipes and get new ones!

I love the fact that I took up a dance minor in college right before my 30th birthday!

Just here to talk to chime in with the same info as everyone else really - name-calling is abusive the FIRST time! It may not mean the person doesn't love you... but love needs to be accompanied by loving words and actions, or else, what good is it? These loving words can be honest, maybe harsh in some ways (such as…
