Yes, we know there's heathens out there...:drinker:

Y'all are sick. It isn't normal, it is twisted and WRONG. That is the true definition of hatred. Wishing evil upon another human being. You should all be ashamed, and go pray for ex-whatevers. And pray for them every day that they will have all good things until you actually mean what you are praying. Resentment will kill…

Yeah, I fell for the, "Braggs will fix your acid reflux" effed up hoax! I read a ton of articles saying it was ludicrous, but I tried it anyways, to my excrutiating pain. Eff that ish!!!

I figure it can all work....

Be careful. Michelle Obama might come in here and kick everyones a$$es!! :glasses:

Good, quality coffee aught not be destroyed with added ingredients. I am all for black coffee!! Sometimes, when I want something sweet, I will put some milk and molasses in my coffee, but that is like once or twice a year. Used to use heavy cream, but always got indigestion. But, black coffee is the way to go! DD has good…

Also, if you eat it with nuts nad raisins, the bitterness is taken away, and it tastes almost like milk chocolate. I love bitter foods, and if you do, you will really take a liking to dark chocolate. If you do not like bitter foods, with the raisins and nuts, you will probably like the chocolate anyway!!!

Switch to 70% chocolate. Lindt is my favorite now. After you get used to it, work toward the 85%. The first few times you try the 85, it may not be pleasant. Try it a few more times, and then switch. Work into the 90% and you get even better nutrient rich chocolate! Even the 70% is good for you. Now, real chocolate is…

I love homemade burgers! I always make them with small diced onions and minced garlic, oats, and eggs. I cook them mid-rare... Extrra sharp cheddar and romain lettuce and tomatos with quality mustard! Yumm!!! Been a long time!

Greek Yogurt is pretty low carbs. Get plain Greek Yogurt. Most of the carbs come from the added fruit/honey/chocolate flavors they have...

When I started using greek yogurt every day in my smoothies, without changing anything else, I started to drop weight....

Do the healthier food, and if it is more calories than you want, ask them to cut it in half. Save half for tomorrow, or throw it out. Or, eat the burger. I would go with the healthier food as it is healthier. I am here for weight loss and health. I am cutting more and more bad foods out. I already eat healthy stuff a lot.…

Do you usually drink coffee/tea? Did you skip it? Have you severely lowered carb intake? Almond milk is horrid, have you tried rice milk? Or, so much better yet, kefir in your smoothies? Drop the ice, and freeze your fruit except for the banana and you will get much better smoothies and more high quality protein with a…

Then mix them. Eat nuts and seeds with dark chocolate and/or raisins/craisins. Make guacamole, and have it in a chicken wrap. Take your B vitamins with the fatty food as well, as they will absorb into your body better!

That is a good amount for a meal that is healthy. Granted, I can eat more than you. But 500 to 800 calories is not really a lot for a meal. If your alotment is very low, get the meal and cut it in half. Wraps that I find at such places are pretty darn big, and half can usually suffice to satiate hunger.

The baking soda takes care of the gas....

I love water. I drink a ton of water. Flavoring is gross to me, unless you are speaking of coffee or tea....

I soak them overnight with baking soda and then rinse them thoroughly. I then bring them to a boil with more baking soda and simmer for about 20-25 more minutes and rinse them thoroughly. I then add garlic, onions and any othe seasoning and cook for about an hour or so. My last batch I slightly overcooked, but they are…

Well, fat people can survive longer in cold water due to the extra padding! Learned that in the safety certs when I was working offshore...

That is not true at all. Most states you must be registered by the state, and you have to have a bachelor or masters degree to get certified by state...

Eating back exercise calories is what is making me successful. I am consistently losing weight, and am comfortable. Since December 16th, I have lost 14.6 lbs. I eat what I want, but stay under a net calorie intake of 1650 (sometimes I eat over 3000 calories, and still keep my net below 1650.) Rarely, I do go over. I am set…

This. It has 30lbs of working right right here!!

If you get a good juicer, it is different.

I would be insanely over on mine as well!

I make pinto beans (onions, garlic...) a lot, and wild rice blends (onions, garlic, bell peppers, tomatoes...)a lot. I make them with a lot of veggies, and make a ton of burritos. Make them small size, maybe only a tad larger than the frozen burritos you buy at the store. If you make them large size, you cook the heck out…

Pretty much what I do, but on a larger scale and freeze man. After a few weeks, if you make a large meal a week, you have a great selection of healthy meals to choose from!

Also, I juice primarily veggies when i juice. I make fruit smoothies every day, though.

Juicing is amazing. Your doctor is a keeper. I can say from experience, juicing is incredible. I would get the Champion or Grean Star. These are gear juicers and give a lot more juice for your $$. Also, centrifugal juicers suck for greens. Actually, they really do not even work for greens. The two I mentioned are a little…

Used to take it, need to start again. Not sure that it did either of those things for me, though.

To an extent... I drink a gallon +/- per day usually. I have to go a lot. I usually stop drinking water at 9 or so, that way I can sleep without waking up in the middle of the night about to burst! hehehe
