I've been doing something much like this for about a year (1 cappuccino with 35% cream in the morning, then only 1 meal later in the day. Otherwise, only water, black coffee, tea.) If you happen to be doing low carb/high fat, then as others have said, it's often easier to sustain than you'd think. In fact, my husband and I…

I don't know whether it helps with carb cravings, but we use it as often as we can: every day in coffee. One study we read showed that 1 tsp/day was correlated with weight loss. It certainly has a strong flavour, so if cutting carbs means you're craving FLAVOUR, (and specifically the flavour of baked or rich or spiced…

We use whipping cream (35- 40%) and whip our own whipped cream. Some people add a little sweetener or vanilla to it, but I find that I can have it "straight". It goes with lots of things: a few berries, cocoa powder, dark (I use 90%) chocolate, a bit of nut butter, or top a hot drink. Whipped cream always feels decadent to…

Yogurt can be a HUGE sugar culprit. This is a long article just published recently, and someone posted it in another thread, but I think it relates: The Extraordinary Science of Addictive Junk Food http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/24/magazine/the-extraordinary-science-of-junk-food.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1&pagewanted=all& An…

I've only tried the Miracle Noodles rice substitute, not the stuff pretending to be pasta, and I was really pleased with it. It reminded me of the tiny little pasta balls in Italian wedding soup. I deliberately choose the rice form because I figured it would be easier to treat it as rice and not expect anything truly…

One lesson we learned by traveling to different parts of the world: breakfast doesn't have to be "breakfast food." Sometimes we'd look at our hotel/restaurant breakfast and think, "You eat THIS for breakfast?" But after a while, we started to realize that food is food, a good meal is a good meal, and it doesn't matter when…

We are wheat/grain free, as well as low-carb and the thing I've learned is pretty much avoid anything that claims to be gluten-free... if it says it is, there's a good chance it's still wheat/grain or starch-based, just without gluten. (Of course, if you're only going for gluten-free, that's cool.) Remember, they never…

I read this last night. I agree, it's a must read! Even though it's 14 pages, I just couldn't stop reading.

Like another poster mentioned, mine is public because I'm following one of those "how can that possibly work?" eating plans. Since it's increasing in popularity, but not quite mainstream yet, an example of seeing it in practice might help someone. Plus, I know when I first started MFP, I appreciated seeing some logs . . .…

To those having trouble with tapermonkey: I couldn't get the tapermonkey option to work. It was much easier just to download the script to my desktop, then drag onto the Chrome extension page. (The other method mentioned on that page.) Have you tried using that method to install?

Just wanted to add my thanks for this awesome script!
