  • I eat carbs. Lot's of them and they never hurt/stunned/affected my weight loss or now since I have been maintaining once. I got to bed after eating cereal lots. It won't kill you why not enjoy what you want anyways. Carbs, protein or fat. ANYTHING in excess that is not used will in turn be stored mostly as adipose tissue…
  • Just to note that you really don't need a vitamin D supplement at all. If you are light skinned 10 minutes out in the sun daily gives your full daily dosage. Just a little FYI :) I am noting that your doctor recommended a supplement. hmm.
  • I really love the margarita chicken but I sub the beans and rice for double veggies :) I also like which not a lot of people do is the Carribbean chicken or shrimp salad it is huge fruity and delicious and to add one last thing I get is a house salad no cheese or croutons with fat free honey mustard on the side and a cup…
  • My percentages are 55 carbs, 20 protein and 25 fats. I also do lots of cardio a higher carb lifestyle has treated me well. I also weights must mention that 2 times a week along with cardio 5 times a week. I have 2 off days usually. Carbs have never hurt me or slowed my weight loss one bit. I eat lots of fruits and veggies…
  • I get plent of both in the diet I just couldn't handle it. I was just adding my two cents I wasn't meaning to say that it couldn't work due to conditions that a person has to deal with diabetes and etc.. My carbs generally do not come from breads and pastas I eat a lot of fruits and veggies. I have IBS as well and I do not…
  • I feel that if you choose to do that to your body then go for it. I on the other hand eat at least 270 or higher grams of carbs per day!! Oh no so many carbs and for those who say CARBS=FAT well that is only true to an extent. We eat carbs and they are easily used up as the main source of energy for functioning in daily…
  • For breakfast if i eat a bowl of oatmeal I have some strawberries or blueberries (frozen or fresh) both are low carb because I love carbs and like to use them on other foods :) I also like flat out wraps with morningstar crumbles with bell peppers and you can throw in eggs for added protein. Yogurts are good for a snack as…
  • Definitely update us on how that works out. Since your body wants carbohydrates as your main source of energy you might be a bit lethargic throughout the day.
  • I used to "cheat" and well after months and months that eventually lead to binging because I wasn't allowing myself to eat the foods I know I will not give up forever. I couldn't just take one day either and eat whatever i wanted and go over. I eat the foods I want that people consider "bad" or whatever whenever I feel…
  • This was an interesting read thanks for that. :) I don't eat clean all the time, I do eat before bed, I don't do low carb, I don't zig zag my calories, I go over my calories during the week and I exercise regularly. No problems here. :)
  • Chaning up the routine along with the zig zag method helps reduce the length of a plateau. it is absolutely normal to hit one do not fear it. As learned in class let your body get over the plateau do not try to force it.
  • You can eat any time of day your body still process it the same. Just watch what you put in your body before you go to bed. If you wait 2 hours before you go to bed after eating and only sit around for 2 hours and watch tv well that is just the same as lying in your bed and sleeping.
  • You shouldn't feel guilty for eating foods whether they are good or "bad" for you. You should definitely have a good relationship with food, especially the ones we nibble on sometimes and other foods we just love. Even though you are losing weight doesn't mean you have to give up anything you love. Just limit your…
  • I had never slowed my sugar intake whether it be natural sugars from fruits or added sugars and I am in perfectly good health. Even during my weight loss it never slowed me once a bit and I am a HUGE sweets fan anything sweet I will eat. I successfully lost the weight and have been maintaining very well. I am all about the…
  • There are different types that under amour makes as well I have a cold gear type top which is very beneficial when it is cold outside. It is over priced though. I do love all the shirts/tops I own. Not one complaint. Idk if that helped any :)
  • Surprisingly Arby's has a good Roasted Farmhouse chicken salad and Chickfila's chargrilled and fruit salad! Hmm I am thinking Panera's salad for lunch now!!
  • I donate every chance I get. (So pretty much every 8 weeks) I am also part of the donate for life and it makes me happy knowing I can. I am eligible for plasma as well just haven't done that in a long time!
  • I eat lots of carbs. Yep that is right, lots of them. Ohh I would say about 55% of my diet is carbs. I eat bread and I enjoy it. I eat things people say we don't need to live and guess what I enjoy them to. I wouldn't say I get all my carbs from breads because I eat lots of fruits and vegetables and hardly any pasta or…
  • I certainly have "cheat" meals too but you should not have to feel guilty. If you do feel guilty you can actually start to develop an unhealthy relationship with foods. You shouldn't have to feel guilty about eating foods you know you used to or still should enjoy. You can also learn that you no longer like these things…
  • I loved it. It was a ton better than supersize me which in fact bored me to sleep. :)
  • Staying healthy knowing my body is happy with my choices. Not feeling disgusting all the time and having lots of energy. Taking a look back at how my life used to be and comparing it to now and feeling good about what I have accomplished knowing I wouldn't go back to how it was before. Actually having some feeling of self…
  • Pan cooked then shredded and mixed with homemade taco seasoning. Heat corn tortillas in the pan. Shred the chicken add Plain non fat greek yogurt as sour cream, add your low fat cheese if you like, diced tomatoes, cilantro, grilled onions and peppers. My favorite they taste like tacos :)
  • I love fitness, prevention and womens health is my least favorite. :)
  • Well seeing how my boyfriend does nothing but eat out. I have to make what I consider wise decisions. Not all healthy no but usually what fits into my calorie allowance. When we go to Chili's I either get the guiltless grill chicken sandwich no mayo with half a bun. Also at Chili's not a lot of people like it but I get the…
  • My sentiments exactly! Haha I told you this sucks to be me sometimes! :(
  • Oh my I am in love! Thank you.
  • I am 5'7 small framed and I am 123lbs and happily maintaining. Originally started out 136.
  • I suppose I am not a thread killah but no one ever replies to mine. Minus the exception of one person, who is already my friend.
  • Just think of it as they are seeing you exercising and thinking..damn look at her go. Maybe I should be doing that too? I just try to stay positive when I run. I like to think people are happy I am doing something good for myself. It's not what people usually think but it has always helped me!
