  • I know I tend to eat/graze throughout the day whenever I'm either a.) on my period, or b.) didn't get an adequate amount of sleep. Honestly, being tired just makes me a bottomless pit because my body is so desperately seeking any form of energy it can get. So, I'm team get-as-much-sleep-as-possible for weight loss.
  • A ketogenic diet is excellent for PCOS.
  • How absolutely disrespectful. I think there is nothing more sour to a relationship than to use demeaning words toward one another. It sounds like he needs to be the one to walk away, not you - to prevent himself from saying things he just can't back. You also say he's in charge of the money, despite you being a full-time…
  • Sometimes you need to look at HOW you're getting your calories. Pay attention to your body after each meal, was one more satisfying than the other? I find including healthy fats keep me satiated a lot longer than a serving of brown rice or something, so I'll swap the grains out for an avocado. Or swap out a lean chicken…
  • I wasn't always overweight, really. Pretty skinny kid and early teen. But my weight started fluctuating between normal and slightly chubby the last couple years of high school then I ballooned up my freshmen year of college to full-blown chubby. However, I lost like 20 lbs and went back to being petite by senior year of…
  • Indian curries can be made with tomato puree, by the way. Anyway, I live in Thailand and I, too, try to avoid coconut milk, which can be very difficult. I've had some success with soy milk - it isn't as creamy but it is damn good.
  • Someone mentioned coleslaw... it is a longtime favorite dish in our house. I make mine a bit different, though. Just thinly sliced bok choy, red apple spices, plain greek yogurt (I've used mayo before but it takes away the bite, in my opinion), white wine vinegar and black pepper. SO. GOOD. Also, I like to steam pumpkin…
  • Are you being a bit more attentive toward your intake, knowing you'll be consuming empty calories on your drink days? Do you find that after a night of drinking, you aren't exactly keen on eating very much or eating certain things (dairy, fatty items, fried foods, etc.)? I don't notice a difference in my loss when I'm…
  • I usually just have vodka and a few lime wedges to squeeze into it.
  • I like it for when my stomach is feeling a bit wonky or if I'm a bit bloated... honestly, sometimes I crave it. Occasionally, I'll throw a few cucumbers into the glass and it tastes all sorts of fresh and salad-like that it can hold me off if I'm in between meals.
  • Short answer: of course. But everyone else here is going to give you a long answer debating the theory of starvation mode...
  • Were you losing weight at first? If so, then you should probably up your calories and start to fluctuate them. Some days 1200, some 1400, some 1600 until you see some progress. You might be at a mini-plateau that can easily be fixed considering your current weight. If you're avoiding cardio, what are you doing...?
  • We tried Taste of the Wild for our little guy but he really didn't need that much protein... every dog is different. He really likes ZiwiPeak Venison and Fish, but since he suffers from a sort of boredom/stress-induced anorexia (vets words, not mine - he's just a picky eater, in my opinion), we change up his food a bit to…
  • When you book, a lot of airlines will provide you with the option to select a variety of 'special' meals... the 'Low-Calorie' meals are generally sufficient if you aren't able to BYO.
