I skimmed your post, and missed some key parts. I make a bag of 1.25 +/- cups of organic raisins and the same of nuts or seeds and mix them up. I throw a half serving of dark chocolate in with it. (I use Lindt 90% cacao now). I will take a tiny bite of the chocolate with a small bite of the nut/seed and raisin mix. Very…

Yes, this is my experience. I am much more satiated with the foods I am now consuming. My mind is clearer, and I can feel the way specific foods make my body feel. I have always been pretty sensitive to the way my body reacts to certain foods. I can notice it even more when I am eating healthier.

Yes. You will function better and have better gains if you keep it higher. I thought people here were throwed off when they told me to eat my calories back. It is a world of difference. It is the healthy way to lose weight. It is also ver advantageous if you change your foods to healthier choices. I love healthy and not so…

Hawaii... I have never been, but I am sure there are some good places there...

The small Jamba Juice... depends on where you live and what is available near you. I reckon you are from WA? If you are near Vancouver/Portland you have a large selection, if you are near Seattle, the same...

Since I started eating back my exercise calories, I have been doing much better. I often will burn over 2000 calories a day. Not in the last few due to having a cold, but it is normal. When I began eating those back, my energy levels accelerated to much better speed!! I am set at a 950 calorie deficit, which gives me a…

Anyways, I am glad you are eating higher quality food.

We call these doctors quacks for a reason...

I second this. Processed foods are very high in calories. You probably ate way more than you were telling yourself. It is easy to do if you are not being meticulous. Guestimations = fail.

If you are hitting really heave 5 or 6 times a week, that is sometimes a really good idea.

I am sorry, I read calories for carbs....

Eating 239 calories a day is slow suicide. You need to eat at least 1000 more calories a day, that is if you are doing nothing else. If you are exercising, you NEED to eat a lot more.

That stuff was cheap as dirt 'til it got popular. Too bad.

Yes, and spices and herbs as well!! I count all of them!

Studies on taking large doses of Vitamin A supplements are scary...

By golly, you are right!!! I can eat armadillo again!! http://www.ehow.com/how_8672083_clean-armadillos.html

Huh… I have been doing the same thing… I have been getting dizzy now and again, but never considered that I may be low on iron...

Broccoli is a source. Unfortunately, the best source of iron is beef.

Well, you would be healthier gaining weight on whole foods than you would gaining weight on fast foods… but healthier does not mean healthy...

My thoughts on this. We are trying to eat like normal people, right? This is a normal occurrence. Just be prudent when you choose your food. Don't eat french fries covered in ranch with a 1/2 lb bacon cheese burger and a large Coke followed by a fudge sundae or anything like that.

I can make the best alligator sauce picant!! Alligator is quite good, actually! So is armadillo, but I recommend against eating armadillo, as it carries leprosy… even the farmed ones…

We can get it in America as well. It is a great lean meat.

For appetite suppression, it was GREAT!

AMEN!!

MFP works so well for me. I do as it says, and I lose what it predicts. It seems quite right to me. What, are you wanting to eat 2500 calories every day? You can if you work out hard enough...

I thought it was feckin' awesome. Did everything it promised. Suppressed my appetite, did weird things to the fat I still had on me… I guess that would be the so called shrinking of the fat cells. I took it as directed. On my belly, if I would squeeze a section, the fat would collapse on itself… not the best words for it……

Hydroxycut Hardcore, the kind that was recalled, I used it for 2 years, and loved it! It worked very well. Never tried the reformulated version, though.

Grateful Dead.

If you are near Missoula, that is one of the most forward towns in America, right up there with Portland and Seattle.

The almond butter that you grind at Winco is nothing but almonds, which is a plus!
