One pound equals 3,500 calories. So if you take in an extra 3,500 calories in one week, then you may gain a pound. You're not quite there, so I think you are safe. But you should consider assessing your weekend intake. Why are you eating more? Is it going out with friends? Parties? Drinks (pleasesaynoyoureonly17)? Maybe…

Nogii peanut butter and choc are my FAV! I am gluten free, but even my non-GF hubby eats them. Perfect make-up of carb, protein, and fat. I literally feel like I am eating a candy bar for breakfast every morning!

As others have said..don't use an actual juicer machine. It takes all the good stuff out! Use a blender and you're sure to get all the good stuff. Also, include veggies! Don't just add fruit. That's too easy. Add kale, swiss chard, a scoop of protein powder, and/or something like Barleans green organic powder. Doesn't…

Follow me to see what a 1500 calorie day looks like. Except for my weekly cheat day, I stay within 1500-1600. I need more ideas for protein, so anyone who wants to share, please do!

Leftovers. Grilled salmon, grilled asparagus. I indulged a bit last night, so I am keeping it clean today.

I love my wrist one. I wear it when I visit gyms in cities I am visiting, or running outside anywhere. Buy one. Wear one.

I never skip breakfast. Ever. Unless I am going for a run IMMEDIATELY upon waking (which is how I most enjoy runs, actually). Even something light in the morning, something as simple as a handful of fruit or a little ounce of cheese and a few multigrain crackers (protein and carb mix) is good enough. I eat half a NOGII…

I think you're plan in just fine. It's what I decided to do, as well and I started seeing/feeling results soon after. Don't go to bed starving (hungry, eh...starving keeps me up), and don't deprive yourself or nutrients (if you are hungry, swig some milk, eat some almonds, or something small to tide you over until bedtime,…

Of course it's possible. There is no name for the "eat right and exercise" diet. You need to consume fewer calories than you currently are (I went from 1800 a day to 1500 and am seeing changes. Your goal calorie intake will be different.) But it also matters what foods those calories are coming from. Keep the greasy fats,…

If you want protein to be properly used and stored, you need carbohydrates. Just do "smart carb" instead of low/no carb. For example, try almond flour/meal instead of white/wheat flour. Super high in nutrients, and very tasty (white flour tastes like paste compared to almond flour!) Make or buy a high-protein and fiber…

Right! This was huge for me. To stop seeing food as treats, as evil, as rewards, and supplements for my feelings. Instead, I now see food as fuel. "What will best get me through my AM workout?" or "I'm feeling a bit sluggish. What will best help me through this for a long period of time, unlike that chocolate which will…

TALK. Talking to someone, anyone, when you feel that urge to eat (overeat, binge eat, compulsively eat)...will help. I told my fiancee the other day that he was literally anchoring me down, and he felt so good that he could help me. Now he feels invested in my personal growth, and is more supportive than ever. Talk. Talk.…

Popcorn popped at home (1/4 cup of kernels in a brown paper bag in the microwave for about 2 minutes), Greek yogurt with fruit, homemade Chex mix (chex, Cheerios, popcorn), apple and peanut butter. Hope this helps!

Oatmeal, unflavored Greek yogurt (the sweetened stuff has added sugar and less protein; just add your own spoonful of jam or fresh fruit), edamame/soy beans. My nutritionist was incredible in opening my eyes to other food options. You might want to consider meeting with a nutritionist once or twice to get ideas, and to…

I've been sabotaging and beating myself up for over 6 years now. But not anymore (on a daily basis). I have found what works for me: saying OUT LOUD to who ever will hear me (fiance, a couple coworkers, and friends, mostly) that I have a binge eating problem and that I need to stop hurting my body. And they help me stay on…

I follow a meal plan set for me by a nutritionist. She gave me approved food items and I interchange them daily, and take liberties obviously, with food items on another approved list. It includes a carb and protein at EVERY meal and snack because carbs help deliver the protein to where they need to go in your body. It…
