we've all been in that same boat where we've overindulged. and we fall into this rut of helplessness where we feel as though there's no point in giving up from this sense of "i've overindulged, why not just chug everything down with it anyway." and sometimes, that's what we need - we need the occasional binge to remind…

sweet potatoes are better than baked potatoes!

Bumping?

i have a fitblr www.krembrulei.tumblr.com

salmon is the easiest to prepare. just wait for a it to thaw, sprinkle some garlic powder over it, pop it in the oven for 15 minutes (for 3oz) at 400 degrees. and you're done. you can even microwave it too. SO EASY.

carbohydrates are the first your body burns during a workout. after that, it resorts to burning to fat. so the suggestion for the best performance during a workout is to eat a high carb meal before exercising. post-exercising, make sure you stock up on protein! this helps build muscle.

cheese is great for you as long as there's no crazy amounts of added sugar. i know sargento string cheese is amazing - 50 calories per stick, with less than 1g of carbohydrates. dairy is important, cheese is necessary.

honestly, my motivation started off as wanting to be someone that he'd notice. then it just became wanting to be perfect. perfectionism became part of the eating disorder i developed later on, but after a while, i thought it was ridiculous. i didn't want to be perfect, i just wanted to be beautiful. and that's why i'm…

i'm a picky eater as well and that works to our advantage. not only does it give you a perfect excuse to turn food down when offered, but it's great because it's like a built-in self-controller. but the best advice i can give is to eat everything in moderation, nothing in excess.

menstruation comes with bloating. it must be the bloating. it ain't your fault!

Ingredients: 3 ripe avocados, mashed 2 roma tomatoes, diced 1/2 large red onion, diced 1/2 large jalapeño, ribbed, seeded (optional) and diced 1 1/2 lime, juiced* Coarse pink himalayan sea salt 1-2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (I LOVE cilantro – so I go heavy handed here) 1 large garlic clove, minced Instructions: Cut…

im 5'2" you're not doing anything wrong, it just takes time. how long have you been at this? remember that it takes a full 4 weeks for yourself to notice your body changing. it takes time. treat your body right and your body will start to look right.

no idea how you guys are doing this, but the progress is so inspiring. keep it coming!

green tea has been proven to help increase concentration. if you're worried about caffeine levels, don't be concerned with green tea as much - its caffeine is nowhere near as strong as coffee. sleeping is extremely important, obviously. sometimes just going out for a jog can wake you up - the neurotransmitters that are…

loaded with carbohydrates, not much nutritional value. but they're the better alternative for crackers if you crave crackers!

sweet potato fries!! :) yum.

sorry if i'm getting carried away -these are the last ones, i promise! This recipe made 24 sandwiches, with some extra frosting to spare. These cookies were just over an inch in diameter. You should make a double batch. If you don’t have coconut manna, these would taste amazing with just plain peanut butter with a little…

INGREDIENTS ¼ pizza dough ¼ cup tomato sauce (I used Eden Organic) 100g mushrooms, sliced ¼ green bell pepper, diced 200g beef from top round, ground ½ tsp onion powder ½ tsp garlic powder ½ tsp fennel seeds, crushed Pinch Himalayan or fine sea salt ¼ tsp freshly cracked black pepper 100g light mozzarella cheese, grated 4…

another healthy alternative to satisfy a sweet tooth. Ingredients 3½ oz dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa, preferably unsweetened or with unrefined sweetener) 1 cup pitted dates 2 oz pecan halves Directions Process dates in a food processor until they become a sticky and very thick jam-like consistency. Roll the processed…

I'm on a bit of a brownie kick lately, so it's only natural that this is one of my favorites. Chocolate Protein Brownies makes 6 low fat protein brownies that can be gluten free, wheat free and/or vegan. 1/2 cup quinoa flakes or rolled oats or extra 1/2C flour* 1/2 cup peanut flour or protein powder 1/4 cup cocoa powder…

yup! i love fruit! but i've always been on a low carb diet, so that's why i don't eat fruit or potatoes much. it's always in moderation. i don't mean to pick fights or anything, we all have our different opinions. potatoes are low glycemic - and their carbs aren't similar to fruits. fruits are sugars without the…

i'm doing that too!! the only healthy carbs you can eat are the ones that either loaded with a generous - but not overwhelming - amount of fiber. whole grains > white/refined grains obviously. also choose whole wheat. make sure when you buy bread, the first ingredient is wheat flour - NOT enriched wheat flour or anything…

i guess it comes down to personal opinions and decisions. but i choose not to eat potatoes. yes, potatoes have nutritious components, such as B vitamins, vitamin C, and some excellent minerals. But all those good things can't save it from being a starch bomb that hits your system like a bag of candy. Dr. Spreen explains, a…

i've been eating anything with high fat content and little to no carbs. eggs, beef, steak, chicken, sausage links, chicken sausages, light skinny popcorn.

i think those people are just secretly insecure about their own bodies. just let them know that you'd rather prioritize your health over their immaturity. i know it can get seriously annoying - my family members are basically the same way. it's just something you have to grin and bear. if it gets too out of hand, then it's…

i think i would eat this if it didn't look exactly like a tongue.

that depends on so many factors - even the technology that myfitnesspal offers is only a rough estimate. i suggest finding out your basal metabolic rate and calculating your body percentages. the amount of weight you lose is entirely dependent on your body composition. to get the most accurate reading of this, you'd have…

drinking cold water burns calories - because your body, in order to maintain homeostasis, must heat up the water in order to properly digest it. drinking hot water makes you feel full. but you must drink a lot. green tea also makes you feel really full. if you're extremely hungry, apples are good - they have lots of fiber…

You can cut them into squares and serve with sauce and tiny tiny meatballs so the effect is like an undone ravioli. You can also cut them in shapes and fry them until they're crispy. Yum. Not an everyday recipe, but so good. And for an awesome presentation, you can lattice them on top of a casserole. I also used to make…
