  • Sounds good. I love quinoa.
  • I'm 5'10" and aiming for 140. I'm about 148 now.
  • Non/lowfat sour cream dips and veggies? You can make them pretty easy with non fat yogurt, or buy the Bolthouse brand. They make a really good low cal yogurt ranch. It doesn't taste at all like the normal fat free ranch dressings which I think are disgusting. Not chips, but maybe that'll help? You could slice the carrots…
  • I think of it as you can either "waste" it by leaving it at the table, or "waste" it by eating unnecessary calories that are going to stop you from losing weight. When you're half done, you usually full, you have enjoyed what you ate, and eating more is only more of the same. If you don't want to eat it later, and no else…
  • I was vegetarian/vegan for years and never had any problems with it. Just eat non animal protein. I ate the same amount when I was vegetarian as I do now, I just ate more beans, tofu, tempeh, yogurt, soymilk, nuts, and other non-meat protein sources. It is really not difficult for most people to be a healthy vegetarian;…
  • Cut of the very end of the celery and stick it in a cup of water. It will re-crisp. I don't know if that works for radishes though. Otherwise, the thing about "fresh vegetables" is you need to buy them fresh and eat them. This often means going to the store twice a week. Just buy what you know you can eat in week. Some…
  • Senna leaf tea. Traditional Medicinals makes it. It's called Smooth Move.
  • Yep. But caffeine is a diuretic so if your drinking caffeinated tea it won't be quite equivalent to water cause you'll be losing a little more too.
  • You are supposed to take the doses at least 8 hours apart. It has to do with how long the pills take to digest. If you want to take it as a single dose you need to get the extended release, rather than the sustained release. It's a pain to take it twice a day, but I don't think it's good to take them at the same time. Just…
  • I heard you should NOT put bananas in it, as they don't have juice in the and will mess up the machine. If you want banana you need to add it to the juice in a blender. I though blending fruits and veggies together would be good. So I tried nectarines and celery. It was disgusting. Don't even try it. But for the most part,…
  • My boyfriend would *kitten* his pants (in delight) over those burgers! And I also kinda want to eat one. With doughnuts for buns.
  • Senna is addictive, just like any laxative is. And it can be much more explosive than fiber, if ya know what I mean.
  • I wait tables and though you do burn more calories than someone at a desk job you need to be careful. It is easy to over estimate the amount calories burned- especially if you are planning on logging five or six hours of walking. It will dramatically increase you intake for the day, but may not be entirely justified. MFP…
  • I was going to say that sounded too high, but I don't now what I'm talking about. For me that would be maybe 200 calories, but it varies from person to person.
  • Yeah! Go get 'em, Tiger!
  • I've heard mozzarella is lowest in fat.
  • There are a ton of lists if you google "potassium rich foods". This one looked good because it gives the serving size, calories and amount of sodium along with the potassium. http://www.weightlossforall.com/potassium-rich-food.htm
  • Go to home, then to check in. You can enter your measurement there, or add a different measurement by clicking the link "change measurement" at the bottom.
