Some people already mentioned, but I thought a list format with practical swaps and suggestions based on foods it looks like you eat routinely might be helpful! (1) Protein: Bran flakes --> scrambled eggs (or egg whites) with diced bell peppers and goat cheese Snack --> Greek yogurt Lunch --> tuna or lentil soup (2) Fiber:…

Juicing is great in terms of micronutrients, but you're removing a lot of super good fiber from your diet, which is sad. All that good fiber in fruits and vege makes you feel like a well-oiled machine!

Hi, friend! Welcome to your new lifestyle -- your mind and body are definitely going to thank you for it! However, the effects you're looking to achieve (better mental health, better focus, clearer skin, stronger nails) are not byproducts of nefarious chemicals in your food. Yes, you will feel better eating "wholesome"…

Hello, scientist here. I'm going to translate these two articles for any non-scientist out there. FIRST LINKED STUDY: "Effect of skipping breakfast on subsequent energy intake" This paper did two experiments where people were given one of 4 different breakfast meals and then at lunch they could eat as much as they wanted.…

EXTRA BRO-TEIN FLAVOR But seriously, I mix my daily greek yogurt with a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream whey.

Fellow bachelorette here. Agreeing with everyone's points on freezing EVERYTHING. To be honest, I think it's easier to diet and stay in shape as a bachelorette -- ain't got nobody to rush home to, so I can spend all my time focusing on ME! 1. Most of what I eat can be frozen or portioned out easily. Big pots of chili or…

It's a GUARANTEE for injury! Yeah maybe you manage to *finish* a marathon (doubt you'd be able to make it without stopping to walk at one point) but not listed in OP's training program is the 8 months of physical therapy you're going to have to pay for to get your hips/knees/ankles/feet functional again. I mean, C25k is 9…

Unfortunately, the kinds of rewards I get for myself don't match your $20 or less criteria, but I'll post them anyway in case somebody else is looking for ideas.

There is a calf reduction surgery. They literally remove muscle from your calves. Barbaric, but it exists. :/

26 scientist with PCOS -- I've knocked just about every symptom now between hormone replacement (ie birth control pills), diet, and exercise. I'm not a doctor, but let me know if you have any questions!

I've been meaning to try this recipe for chocolate cake, but it uses coconut flour instead of the cauliflower you're looking for. Might help someone though! Prep time: 10 mins Cook time: 40 mins Total time: 50 mins Ingredients ¼ cup of coconut flour 1 egg 4 egg whites 2 Tbs. raw cocoa powder 2 Tbs. cold espresso (or cold…

I know this feel so well. http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5m62g6w8x1rr5zkyo1_500.gif Honestly, the only thing that works for me is not letting myself even have a portion of "snack". I eat my pre-logged meals and then I'm cut off. Once I start, it's all downhill and I can't stop myself. Best if I just don't give myself…

Holy wow. I don't have kids and it's been a looong time since I was eating in a school cafeteria, but wow. That's ridiculous. With bringing food from home, I hope your kid is able to resist the peer pressure to be "cool" and eat what everyone else is eating! I still struggle when everyone around me is eating yummy things…

Weirdly enough, I was just reading up on the effects of a solid night's sleep on metabolism, and it's not surprising that getting a good night's sleep is very important to how your body processes the food it's fueled with. (source: http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/98/2/367.abstract ) The take-home message is to keep your…

Like another poster said, try running up for a "fun" 5k, like a mud run or a color run. For me, having a fresh new playlist helps on days I'm dreading going out -- try RockMyRun.com or look up bootleg/VIP/remixes on SoundCloud.com Treat yourself to a new running outfit or new running shoes! Getting into a hot new running…

Posted this on another thread, but it's the same principle: This actually a recognized form of caloric restriction called "calorie cycling" by laymen and "alternate-day fasting (ADF)" by nutritionists. Legitimate peer-reviewed scientific journals have published studies on ADF. This is a good summary of findings using…
