Welcome girl :)

I mean 1 TBSP .. you can taste the crumbs after to see if needs more!!

HEY ! You can add as you like. I usually start with 1 tsp and add more as I feel needed :)

I just had overnight oats yesterday. I often use natural peanutbutter jar because it is quickly consumed in my family and it's the natural kind. When it's practically done I would put in 1/2 cup of oats with 1 cup almond milk and mix it. The next day I add honey with it and I eat it while scraping the PB around the jar.…

Interesting! Does that actually help in weight loss?

Yes it would work with store brought crumbs! I hope you try it another time :)

Some awesome dressing and super natural healthy ones can be taking from raw vegan recipes. Here is a video of 5 different ones that can be tried out and they are pretty healthy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_z9xhwjOOw

There's Russel Stover sugar free chocolate. Its pretty tasty and lower in calories :) check it out!

Kaizen whey isolate protein is pretty good and so affordable!

YES! I often make some delicious smoothies. Here are a few good ones that can be varied :) 1. Green tea smoothie: 1 cup cold green tea (I boil water and add in the green tea bag and then put in the fridge to get it cold. In your blender, add in the green tea with a cup of your favorite frozen fruits or fresh fruits with…

I think what you are eating in the day is effecting what you are eating for dinner. Eat more healthy and stay full during the day so by the time it is dinner you do not feel as hungry. Also, it's all in the mind, you have to believe that you can achieve and control yourself from eating what you desire. It will be hard but…

Hey I was thinking about this. Have you started ? Seems like a great detox

I LOVE sashimi salmon mostly with seaweed salad and edamame. Such a satisfying meal. And of course a few California and kamikaze. I'm so craving it now. One condition tho. When it comes to sushi it HAS to be all fresh and high quality.

This is great, it is exactly what I like. LETS BE EACH OTHERS CHEERLEADERS!

HEY! I honestly need more friends that are motivated. Friends that like, suggest and comment on my posts or diary. Lets do thiss!

Thank you for your opinion! It totally helps and makes a lot of sense! You are right about doing a lot of research and well I am hoping to make it part of my lifestyle, I did go vegan for 10 days and it helped on just starting to eat more fruits and veggies and to make wiser clean food choices. It;s a great way to pick up…

LOL omg that is such a disgusting comment, you eat your poopy spinach? EWW. :b There are hemp seed protein to add to smoothies and a bunch healthy fatty protein seeds out there. It fits the vegan lifestyle that's for sure unless one is trying to go very low fat.

I actually tried it and logged in my meals and at the end of the day I found that I consumed 50 grams of protein (It all came from hemp seeds, greens as well as potatoes)

Fruits are so satisfying. I did it for 10 days then my family screwed it up, they leave me with no choice but I will get back on track tomorrow. Thanks for the comment and I probably will add soy sauces as well and nut butters (oh I cant live without my nut butters) so it might not be 100% but close enough :)

A friend of mine had a trainer and she lost weight by eating smaller meals and small snacks in between. Apparently it keeps the metabolism working and it helped her loose weight. Of course with exercise and of course she would choose healthy low calorie snacks, at least 100 - 200 calories between each meal. Try it for a…

Thank you all for the great suggestions. I think Ill be purchasing a Polar FT4 .. it seems great and exactly what I'm looking for. Ill definitely get it with a chest strap. You have all been very helpful!!

Sure! The best is 100% Whey Isolate Protein (Optimum Nutrition Gold) it tastes great too! Another one I used and really loved was ISO Femme Protein Powder (Its great for women & Weight loss)

Oh thats a wodnerful Idea, I never thought of it. I often use it to make pancakes thats all. But I will try to incorporate it with other bake goods and soups. Sounds delicious, I love curries! Thanks a bunch!

Thank you all for your input. Everyone has some interesting thoughts and good points. Personally Id agree that there should not be a cheat meal or a cheat day although it's not so bad to over indulge once in a while. Best way is to eat what we like but in moderation and always make healthier choices and healthier…

Hows everyone doing? We are in week 2 now!! Almost half way through :D

I actually got the firm kind, without knowing that there are different textures. Thanks for the heads up!

Ouhh this sounds delicious and I have all the ingredients listed. Thanks a lot, I will try this tomorrow for lunch :D

Oh no you need fruit! Its natural and good sugar it wont hurt, your body needs the vitamins and minerals fruit has!

Yes definitely a good idea to still count what you eat but once a week is too much for a cheat day in my opinion well unless your not going way over your calorie goals in the day.
