You know why you can't see any 'D' on the end of Han's name? BECAUSE HIS HAND MOVES *THAT* FAST!

Bwahaha. I love the way they're all facing away en-guard!

Just shop around the outside of the grocery store (thankyou Michael Pollan!) - pretty much anything you find on the outsides is good for you. All the processed, boxed, tinned, preserved crap is in the center aisles because they don't have to restock it so often. My go-to dinners are usually any protein + any carb + any…

I put ketchup on pizza. It's awesome! OP: not trying to scare you or anything, but it's worth mentioning that many burnt foods contain carcinogens called acrylamides. I love burnt food too, but I try to go easy on it because of that.

Nope, wildly inaccurate. They're just a gimmick to get you to spend a bit more.

If you've lost 30lbs then you may need to recalculate your numbers. I didn't check your diary, but if you've been eating VLC and dropping weight your metabolism may have adapted by now, not to mention your body has become more efficient due to the workouts, so in other words, you may be using less calories to function than…

Having that kind of reaction to food is an Eating Disorder - or at least the seeds of one. You might find some help on the eating disorder groups... http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/93-eating-disorder-support http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/309-disordered

The question isn't should you but could you... for the rest of your life? If the answer is no, then don't. Lose weight by eating in a fashion that you will be able to maintain forever, or you'll just put it all right back on again plus extra.

I just pull it out and throw it. No colorectal muscles needed.

If you scramble it with light margarine and skim milk then you need to include the margarine and milk measurments in your log as well as the egg, they will add a significant number of calories.

Dunno about black tea vs green tea, but White tea is pretty much verfied as the most beneficial in terms of antioxidants. Imo it tastes better too.

Your problem may be that all your wants are in the future. How about nurturing a want to just feel better right now in the present moment?

Nope, you're human... with a fairly normal biological human brain. It's chemistry you are fighting. Highly processed and refined sugar goods - like donuts - can cause a crazy amount of chain reactions in the brain that nature never really intended us to have. Even a bite of something like that can psychologically 'prime'…

Dec 29th. Capricorns unite! :drinker:

Steamed brocolli, throw some shredded cheese on there for the last minute of steaming Asparagus, sauteed in sea salt and olive oil Pine nut Couscous Baby carrots, glazed in a little butter and brown sugar Basmati rice, steamed with cinnamon stick, cloves and cardomoms (for Indian) Baby red potatoes, roasted with olive oil…

The Avengers DVD. You think he wants a Ferrarri but he really just wants the Avengers DVD.

Here's a tip - don't buy anything that's got a "health" claim on the box. 99% of all "healthy" claimed boxed and canned goods are compensated for by extra sodium, extra processing etc. You're getting unhealthier food and paying a premium for a marketing con. It's actually pretty affordable to eat legitimately health:…

Agree. In fact I hate the term 'junk' food and I think it's way more damaging to the obesity epidemic in the west than if the term never existed in the first place.

Your doctor is a good start but he/she will likely refer you to a psychiatrist (for medicinal maintenance) and a psychologist or therapist (for some sort of cognitive behavioral therapy). Usually a combination of these two is the most effective. You might also find some benefit in mindfulness meditation or ACT therapy.…

Is it bacon and egg soup?

Happy Birthday, ZC!!!! Here's how I see you now... And here's how badass I imagine you might be in 70 years time... :heart:

I find that chicken, meat, fish, eggs, milk, almonds and soy never taste like powder.

My wife is a successful stand up comedian. She earns more than me per hour and she thinks so fast she runs circles around me in any argument or discussion. I think it's awesome.

We all walk into playing around with this stuff blind because we're all physically different, with different daily lives and not many of us can afford to be hooked up to more accurate metabolic measuring machines. Don't get hung up on numbers. Just pick a place to start, do it for a month, weigh in and see what happened.…

:laugh: :drinker:

Just to illustrate a point: go back through this thread and look at all the responses that say something along the lines of "I do the same, I know what I should and shouldn't eat but...", or "I know what is good and bad but...". The longer I'm on this site, and the closer I get to getting my own yo-yo'ing under control,…

Rumor has it that the next incarnation will be a woman...

Little drop of poop... right on the tip of the tongue...
