Try eating more beans and lentils. Yes, they do have carbs, but not nearly as much as grains, and they have proteins. And one can use them for such a lot of stuff - lentil stew with smoked salmon is delish, for example, but one can even bake cakes with beans instead of flour (yes, that works, and it doesn't taste like…

Wiener Schnitzel is austrian :wink: ("Vienna style") you could always make a "Streuselkuchen", I think that's very german. Or "Kässpätzle" - depending on where your family is from in Germany.

I tried that just after christmas when I was at my worst weight ever, and it seemed to work very well. I think the "break" in eating on those days really cuts back cravings (the oness that are more psychological then physical, but also the sugar craving), and that's what helped me so much. I do have to say that I at the…

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: so true!

yes, it's easier to learn running by alternating between running (slowly, as slowly as you need to) and walking. In the beginning the walks will be longer (time wise) then the runs, and then gradually you change it around, until you can run for 15 minutes. Once you're there, you can run an hour as well. :wink: What's also…

:smile: ! I always hated the treadmill, even when i was okay running outside, but the treadmill was just killing me. (probably because one has to keep the pace, no matter what). Now I tried it again last week and was just fine! :smile: I also tried on a "skinny jeans" some days ago (I won't tell what size :tongue:), and…

I wondered why no one mentioned magnesium before. It does help me a lot - I'm still feeling muscle soreness, but nothing like I did before I started taking the magnesium (I take it during/right after workouts, not as a constant supplement with each meal) I'm also a bit surprised about so many people mentioning Ibuprofen in…

actually, yes - unless it's kilocalories you were referring to. :wink: well, I count "walking home from town" and most people think that's stupid, because it's just "physical activity" and not exercise. But it works for me - "physical activity level" adjusted to what i do every single day, and exercise for everything…

well, I guess I don't need to count it in, but training makes me hungry, and the red numbers irk me. ;) I guess I'll just mix up some of the suggestions - I tried rugby for the first time ever today, and considering how my legs and especially my arms feel right now I think I earned to count in something! :D

I usually walk. Unless I'm out of breath - some escalators are really long and steep! :P But even if standing on the wrong side of the escalator can be annoying, it's not nearly as annoying as the people who get off the escalator, and then stop dead, blocking the whole way. What do they think where the people piling up…

yep. same here. I have to say that no one usually comments on my weight loss (it's not a lot compared to what most of you did, but I think it's visible), and sometimes I think it would be nice if someone did. But then, would not saying "wow, you look good! have you lost weight?" automatically mean they thought I was not…

If you don't like it, don't eat it. There's other ways to get protein, even without eating lots of soy. Btw, the reason the organic meat tastes "more like that" is because the animals are allowed to grow at a natural pace, and build more and stronger muscles by running around outside, so yes, it tastes way more like the…
