I would that my diet has been incredibly easy... except when I'm not eating at home. Just having to match the restaurant food to something in the database can be a pain in itself. I just went on a multi-day trip with friends and family and decided I would track NOTHING and just use good judgement. My philosophy was that I…

Feel free to add me, goes for anyone.

I look at it this way: There is absolutely no reason whatsoever to consume aspartame (or any artificial sweetener). Use sugar and count your calories, or use Stevia and don't look back. I fully believe that a billion people consume artificial sweeteners every day with no measurable side effects. We used to make buildings…

I've never had an ED myself but have been in several LTR's with people who have. Happy to chat with anyone wanting someone to talk to or just be friends in general. Feel free to add me.

Anyone can feel free to add me.

Feel free to add me, that goes for anyone else as well.

There was a recent article by a leading physician that Aspartame is the most dangerous product someone can legally purchase. I am inclined to agree. Aspartame DESTROYS THE NEURONS IN YOUR BRAIN. Think about that for a minute. Every single artificial sweetener should be avoided, period. Use regular sugar, honey, stevia, or…

You don't think that much protein unless you're going on an extreme bulking kick. Eat .8-1g protein per pound of body weight. If you're significantly overweight, eat that number applied to your Target weight instead of your current weight.

You can get every single item at GNC cheaper on Amazon.com

.8-1g protein per pound of body weight for people trying to lose weight or build muscle. More if you're really trying to bulk up. .7 minimum to be healthy.

The answer is whatever works better for you and allows you to maintain your daily calorie goal and macronutrient ratio. You will lose or gain the same amount of weight regardless of whether you eat 2 meals a day or 7, or eat all your food at night or in the morning. There are tons of studies on this, and anything said to…

According to all of my research, MFP's protein recommendation is critically low. Highly respected nutritionists I trust recommend .7g protein per pound of body weight per day minimum to be healthy, and .8-1g protein per pound body weight for people trying to lose weight OR build muscle.

Saw this for the first time earlier today, gonna have to check it out. Unfortunate that there's a small amount of trans fat in it.

I would not worry much about the sugar in Chobani. Only some of that sugar is added, and you don't need to worry about naturally occurring sugars. In response to what other people have suggested: Mio flavoring is full of chemicals you shouldn't consume. Crystal light is notoriously full of chemicals you shouldn't consume.…

For pasta you can get sunchoke pasta instead of regular, also known as Jerusalem artichoke. Brown rice instead of white. Quinoa instead of pasta or rice is even better. Chia seeds. Non-fat plain greek yogurt. Fruits. Vegetables. Low sodium deli turkey. All natural white meat chicken breasts. Organic, raw, unsalted peanut…

You should research your protein powder as much as possible, the good ones also tend to taste good. I can do the research for you thought and tell you that Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Natural 100% Whey OR Casein are the best. I take mine one of two ways: Morning shake with (all optional): Greek Yogurt, Blueberries,…

I'm not going to call out anyone but a lot of the Peanut Butters being listed or not very good, and several of them have a variation of trans fat in them. My favorites are both from NYC's Peanut Butter and Co.: "Mighty Maple" and "Bee's Knees" You want raw peanut butter, organic if possible, no salt added. NO partially…

According to counter you've lost 94 pounds, which is amazing, but your body is going to react to that. A lot of women have trouble with rubber banding weight. I would think of this mostly as a kind of plateau and vary what you're eating, play with your macronutrient ratio, exercise more, drink lots of water, etc. It also…

Good fat, especially Omega 3, will actually help you lose weight. Fat being 20-30% of your daily caloric goal is a good place to be, with 25% being ideal. Of that, you want none of it to be trans and as little as possible to be saturated. I've come to feel that the macronutrient ratio is almost as important as the calorie…

Eat 1200 Calories/day minimum. Cut your Carbs by 75% and quadruple your protein.

Currently it's telling me your diary is not open.

I personally feel that "cleanses" are in the same category as high colonics or ear candles. I.E., at best they've never been proven to be effective, and at worst are scams. The body cleanses itself, and the best way to help that along is with lots of water. One kind of cleanse that does show more evidence toward being…

I would try to maximize protein, the carbs will be gone immediately.

The daily recommend serving of sugar by every medical association is what MFP uses. However, all of those associations make a point of saying not to worry about naturally occurring sugars, such as in a banana. What they are talking about watching is added sugar, such as sugar added to a protein bar, or ALL the sugar in…

The importance of eating early in the morning is one of the myths of weight loss that's been the hardest to kill. But if you WANT to eat in the morning I recommend a shake with either protein powder or greek yogurt, your choice fruits, spinach, and optionally chia seeds and/or rolled oats.

Trader Joe's Non-Fat Greek Yogurt, which I add strawberries to or put in a smoothie. Dannon Oikos for stuff with the fruit already in it. Trader Joe's Tart Frozen Yogurt OR Frozen Kefir for a treat.

Anyone can feel free to add me if they're looking for more people.
