  • probably udon, but i would go for buckwheat udon if possible. Soba noodles are also made out of buckwheat...buckwheat is actually a vegetable and not a starchy grain. Its healthier for you and has lots of fiber too. Also lower cal! Buckwheat noodles are usualy more brown and slightly translucent with visible flecks of…
  • barley, celery, worchestershire sauce and vegetable juice! I just made a soup like this last week. It was soooo gooood. I also sometimes add Better than Bullion vegetable stock base. Better than liquid stock!
  • Is he big himself?He might just be jealous of your success, or feeling like he is inadequate because he isn't able to care for himself on the level you do. The easiest way to feel better about yourself is to bring others down to your level with you so you can't feel left behind or different. It could also be that he is…
  • Joined! Ive been a C25K'er for a month and a half now. I hope the weather doesnt deter me, but I'm taking it slow and learning alot as I go. :) Its nice to have the freedom to be healthy without paying a gym premium...
  • Hun, that's not food. hold out, you'll get over your cravings. The reaction we have to junk food is like a drug addiction. its true. Just hold out and you'll see that eating healthier tastes better and is more rewarding.
  • Because coffee is a diuretic, it dehydrates. Soda is too, because of carbonation and sodium. Plus soda and fruit juice are generally too sugary to really be that healthy (in large quantities). Someone who drinks 8 cups of soda, fruit juice or coffee a day will not be adequately hydrated as a person who drinks 8 cups of…
  • I was having trouble drawing a piece of art, so I decided to take pictures of myself for reference. When I sat down and looked at the pictures, I didn't even recognize myself. It was such a powerful moment for me...I don't know what I thought at that point, all I know is I was in awe...and not the good kind either. It was…
  • I just started three weeks ago and I"m actually repeating week two to work on my endurance. I was so scared to start running but dont worry, like everyone else says, it eases you in so you actually start to enjoy it. I use the C25K pro app on my android...it cost like 2 dollars but it gives me cues out loud while I'm…
  • Bookmarking this post, totally love polenta and am in dire need of recipes so I can buy some!
  • Hey you Protien Queens and Kings...help me out. What do you guys eat/snack on to get over in your protien? I need more of it but its hard for me to do. I always feel better when I eat more protien and it always satisfies me unlike other nutrients..I'm always hungry if I just eat fiber and carbs. My veggie-inclined roomate…
  • "What if I don't loose weight, like when I was big. I ended up eating 800 cals per day when was 277 just so that I didn't gain weight." I was 277. My caloric intake was 1500 calories when I was that large. I lost 100 pounds taking it slow and easy and learning how to eat, no hormones, no pills, no impatience.... All I'm…
  • 800 calories a day is still not enough for your body to run on. It will start storing fat when you starve it. Starving is not the way to loose weight, as it will just come right back on once food is available. Listen to everyone here, and use the MFP diary. Eating healthy means eating enough to fuel your body. that is,…
  • Ugh I'm feeling fatter right now. Scale has only gone up! Time to up the water and stop eating my roomate's junk food...Curse skinny boys with their high metabolism! :explode: But really, I think we all feel this way sometimes. Weigh when you're ready, and if the number isnt what you wanted, just keep trying and…
  • Galileo and Copernicus all over again. Awesome article!
  • Check the calories ahead of time and input it into your journal before you go! Here are some of my favs: Garden salad, balsamic vinaigrette on the side (dip your fork in it or lightly dip your salad bites in it! this trick works with any dressing) Fire grilled menu - these generally are pretty good tasting and not high in…
  • Yes, actually. There was a recent study done that showed people in the overweight catagory are generally healthier than those in the target range. However BMI is better suited to describe a large group of people, not individuals. So dont sweat it too much or take it that seriously, its a loose guideline. I will still be…
  • Being able to fit in places like airplane seats, rollercoaster seats, and movie theater seats! The added self confidence,it changes your life Being free to do what you want and wear what you want!
  • The more color your food has, the more nutritional value...Salmon has lots of omega 3 fatty acids, packed with protien and flavor. The brighter the color the better, watch out for color enhanced or farmed salmon. Wild salmon eat a rich diet of small fish and invertebretes in the ocean. Tilapia on the other hand are bottom…
  • Welcome to ONEderland! Its so much nicer here :flowerforyou:
  • I AM going to do it I AM whatever I want to be I AM in control
  • This is so awesome! Way to go
  • First off, graphic designers, yeayuh! *fistbump* Secondly, no, I don't think you were wrong at all. If someone's acting like that then obviously they have some kind of issue with themselves and they have to belittle others to make them feel important. Everything she observes is threatening to her because she is insecure.…
  • I'm having issues too! Breathing through your mouth and nose like Doom says is def important. but is anyone having issues with chest breathing vs. stomach breathing? I can breath into my stomach easier when I'm not running. When I'm running my breath seems to only want to go into my chest and expand my ribcage. Is there a…
  • Oh man this ruined my day :brokenheart: But its good to know...
  • do some weight training for your chest like pushups or pullups to get your pecs toned. this will lift your chest, but other than that you cant really do much about it! Love your body in all its natural womanly, goddessy glory. I wouldnt opt to change myself for shallow reasons either...people are beautiful because they are…
  • Well I dont know about Alli. it binds to fat and removes it from your system on the express route! Yes it cuts out unhealthy fat, but in reality you do need your good fats too to have a healthy diet. Eating fat doesn't make you fat, per se. If it were me I would just stop taking Alli and just moniter the fats you take in.…
  • People are sheep, they'll repeat anything they see on the television...Yeah I really hate all the "energy" drink stuff. And dont cave in, the stuff tastes like hairspray lol Stick with tea or water.
