CONGRATS DAVE! I seriously thought that Kevin would've had it won easily. Oh well. What an awesome season!

Either one or both. You can buy bee pollen at any health food store. Sprinkle it into your food or just eat a teaspoon raw daily. I have a cast iron stomach and can eat anything so the strange taste of it doesn't bother me at all. It's both sweet and bitter.

Try some honey and bee pollen in any form that you might like. I used to eat a spoonfull of each daily and had energy through the roof. Each is naturally enriched with the entire vitamin B complex. The sugary energy drinks make you crash and burn when the sugar downer hits and trashes your body. I like to add a teaspoon of…

For lunch meat I use Butterball low sodium Turkey. It's 175mg per ounce.

I've been on a high fiber diet for the past year because it supposedly suppresses the appetite. I stock my house with all of the Fiber One products out there for snacking and they're all low in fat, calories, and other unwanted facts. The high amount of fiber makes me full, well, it's supposed to...

I became bored of my old routine and had to shake things up. My old PTL (Physical Training Leader) made me run a 5k five days a week and 30 minutes of cardio on the elliptical trainer to make it roughly one full hour per day of hard cardio. My knees were killing me from all of that daily running high impact and shin…

With that form of regiment you should be consuming 900 calories a day on top of your normal daily needs just to get through your workout. I used to run a 5k followed by 30 minutes of elliptical trainer cardio for a solid 60 minutes of cardio from Mon-Fri. I would consume an additional 600 calories per day on these days so…

Poor Van. :cry: Damn you Tennile!:grumble:

Last year I found a restaurant menu that had the option to ask your waiter/waitress for a meal cooked without MSG added to it. It was an oriental restaurant named The Great Wall in Palmdale, CA. I used to eat there when I was stationed nearby. It's worth asking your local restaurant if they have that option or can offer a…

"The recommendation for sodium in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as well as the American Heart Association is 2,400 milligrams (mg) daily for adults. This is about the amount in 1 teaspoon of salt (2,300 mg to be exact). The average American consumes 5,000 mg of…

I left mine at the stock 2500 as well. I monitor it daily on my food log and track it just to help myself make healthier choices. Sometimes it's low at 1500-2000, when I make something home made it usually sits at 2200-2800. If I eat out or eat anything frozen it's easily at 3k-5k. Since water retention adds pounds onto…

I told my wife that I don't mind her losing weight and dieting at all. But if she loses a single ounce off of her back side my hands will notice IMMEDIATELY! I guess I wasn't too honest earlier in the thread when I said that my favorite body part was my legs. It's her butt. :bigsmile:

I started off gradually and slowly tweaked my diet and workout routine. It's still a work in progress but it's getting there! I cut out all canned soda and junk food from my diet. No more sweets, cookies, baked goods, pork, alcohol, or any other binge food I'd normally fall for. Sure I'll still have one of the above but…

I think you've managed to burn off 41 calories by typing out this post. If not scroll up and down with the mouse a few times and it'll get those last few calories off. :laugh:

I've always had great legs but now my upper body has gotten soft and squishy.

I think I'm going to try out the frozen veggies. I actually do pick up each and every can of "specific vegetable" and compare labels for the lowest sodium and stick with that brand. It helps but some of the flavors are lacking. Buying fresh produce all of the time gets expensive and then I'll need to actually use it in a…

My home town is Hamburg so I'm right next door! I've been hooked on pizza and wings since I was in my first trimester. My mother would eat both while watching the original Star Wars movies on the big screen. Gee I wonder why I'm so hooked on all of the above rofl! My wife and I make Buffalo Wings at home in a deep fryer…

I did read the article and it was an eye opener for sure. Whole eggs do have a bad rep for various reasons, some of which are different in nature. Heart attacks run in my family and I'm approaching my mid 30s, any form of cholesterol is a concern for me in particular. I'm consuming a lot of red meat and will never give it…

I like the Skinny Cow brand of ice cream for a quick fix. They sell it on base and I've also seen a few of their items at Walmart. I'm still trying out the different fat free and sugar free ice creams to find the perfect one. Too bad there isn't a fat free Reese's Peanut Butter Cup! *grumble*

I wasn't trying to imply that fat is bad. It's the type of fat that is the killer. Egg yolks contain a lot of cholesterol for what little bit of actual nutritional value they provide. I'd rather skim this form of fat from my diet and replace it elsewhere when applicable. On average I consume 50-70 grams of fat per day from…

Egg whites contain a lot of protein without any of the cholesterol and fat that the yolk provides. I seperate mine and give the yolks to my growing puppies. They love it mixed into their kibble. I only cook with eggs one day a week, sometimes two if the wife and I are making something baked. Cheese is god's gift to all of…

I weigh in every morning when I first wake up and set my caloric intake for the day based off of what I currently weigh. I'll augment that with the appropriate amount of cardio to ensure that I'm on the right track.

After trial and error I've learned to stick with only one scale. I weigh in when I first wake up and am only in my boxers so clothing and shoes aren't a factor for weight fluctuation. Throughout the day it'll change and I'll ballon up with water (I hate you evil sodium!) and add 3-5 lbs during the day. Every single morning…

I'm not the only one stuck in Valdosta woohoo! Born and raised in New York Las Vegas for 6 yrs Okinawa, Japan for 2 yrs SoCal for 2 yrs Georgia for too long...

When I first joined the military I was 6'2" and 145 lbs. I could eat anything and never gain any weight. Sadly that's no longer true 12 years later. I ballooned up to 260 at my max and am currently about to break under 230. I'd like to get back down to 195-205. I notice that when I eat peanut butter, chicken wings, or ice…

I agree and will add Van. He's a little rough around the edges, but he has enough self confidence to be able to take what he's learning and put it to good use. When Tenille told Gordon that he's crap I damned near peed my pants. I'm always running around the house quoting the show and now her epic comment is in my arsenal…

It depends mostly on the type of food that you're splurging on. Portion control is very important when eating things high in fat, sodium, or any unwanted value that isn't a part of your daily nutritional needs. I used to have a very big problem with portion control. To me breakfast used to consist of a box of cerial with a…

I've been a couscous fan for the past few years and love it! My favorite brand would have to be "Near East." They come in many flavors and always turn out perfectly on the stove top. My personal favorites are the parmesan, herbed chicken, and the roasted garlic & olive oil. I've tried many types from many stores and the…
