Butternut squash, potato, and sweet potato soup with cheese toast

This

^^This^^ I knew someone who signed on with Isagenix and was pushing hard to sell me on it, too. When I saw her like 4 months later, she looked EXACTLY the same as she had before-- same size, wearing clothes I had seen her in previously. If it's so awesome, how did she not lose any weight at all in 4 months?

So true. My mother was diabetic and she (of course) had the good sense not to try to go off her insulin. I have major, chronic depression. I treat it with an anti-depressant.

unsalted butter, avocado oil, coconut oil, sesame oil-- depending on the recipe

I adore my Fage! The more fat, the better, but even the 0% is better than nearly any other brand I've tried. Sometimes I buy the giant tub of 0% at Costco, because that's a much better deal, but 2% and full fat are definitely my favorites.

No, because I'm vegetarian. North Indian dal (spicy) with saffron rice

56 grams or 2 ounces dry is usually about 200 calories worth of pasta.

Try making shirred eggs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shirred_eggs They do have a little bit of cream and a small amount of cheese added to them, but they are crazy delicious. In my preheated oven they take about 19 minutes (and then a 3-minute rest), and they are well worth the wait. They turn out with a runny yolk and a…

I usually just put the data from a recipe in the recipe builder on this site, since I tend to make substitutions and changes to recipes all the time. Just pick a cookbook with recipes you like, and generate your own data. It's easy and quite likely more accurate if you are calculating with your specific brands and…

I only see one angry person in this thread.

Yuck Dill pickles

This is also what happens to people who NEED the antidepressant medication for their clinical depression when they try to go off the medication, no matter which one it is. Derp.

I order them on a subscription basis right from the company. That gets me a 10% discount, which basically covers the cost of shipping.

I have taken Wellbutrin for years (okay, decades). The times I have tried to go off it, I found very quickly that I became extra critical of myself and started to spiral back into depression. I now know that I HAVE to stay on that medication if I am going to have any decent quality of life. I'm cool with it, because…

I'm vegetarian, but not from India. I do love Indian food, though, and cook it frequently.

Pasta with tomato sauce, garden salad, fruit salad, garlic bread Sandwich/salad bar where they customize their own

Unsalted butter

Depending on my macros at the time: A whole avocado sprinkled with lime juice Chocolate-frosted chocolate cupcake Chips with guacamole or hummus Fluffernutter sandwich Dr. Pepper float with vanilla frozen yogurt

The egg white is the yucky part of the egg that I only eat because it comes with the yolk. :-D

I had someone call me 35 times in ONE HOUR. Put a stop to that by completely severing ties with her and telling her never to contact me again, then blocking her number.

That doctor sounds woefully misinformed.

Plain Greek yogurt with a splash of vanilla and some sugar/Splenda/whatever sweetener you have room for in your calories makes a nice dip for fresh strawberries. Swap out the vanilla for cinnamon and enjoy some apple slices with it. Greek yogurt dip: 1/2 c. plain Greek yogurt, 1/2 t. minced garlic, 1/2-1 T. lemon juice,…

That sounds great!

I like iced coffee even when it's unsweetened and without milk, but I guess that's pretty unusual. Sometimes I will add a little cream or sugar, depending on my mood at the time. I nearly always make my own, though, or order it with a meal in a restaurant. I can't bring myself to pay coffeehouse prices for that stuff.

Lindt Intense Orange is my most recent favorite. Chocolove with sea salt and almonds is also fantastic.

Telling them would be rude and hurtful to the relationship. They already know what is going on in their own body. Telling them is treating them like they are stupid.

50 Shades of Grey is a huge pile of smelly, steaming, horribly-written poo. It recasts an abusive relationship as S&M and pretends abuse is sexy. No thanks.

We have them at my local grocery store, and definitely WAY cheaper than GNC, but I still just order them right from Quest online. That's been consistently the best deal for me.
