  • I want to lose 7 kilos (15 pounds) and I’ll reward myself with a new car I’ve wanted (if I can get a good deal). My friend needs to lose 20 kilos (40-45 pounds) and she’s getting herself new boobies.
  • Eat only when you’re physically hungry. Don’t eat if you’re not physically hungry. I used to eat when I wasn’t really hungry but because I was stressed, bored, in a company of friends or a family, as a habit and etc. Now I eat only if I feel that my stomach is empty.
  • Depending on the budget. New lipstick, movie night, new jeans or a dress, a spa day, concert tickets, a trip somewhere
  • I have absolutely no motivation to work out anymore.
  • Just answer that some weight you lost due to your health issues and some weight you lost due to changing your lifestyle and diet. I also lost some weight because of the changes I've had in my lifestyle (less sweets and carbs, healthier food choices, I don't really count calories). And some weight I lost recently due to…
  • Enjoy your vacation and enjoy eating healthy yummy food! Seafood, fish, fresh veggies, fruits and berries. Little bit of fresh bread and little bit of desserts wouldn't hurt you, just mind the portions. If you stay at a hotel with gym, go there every morning. Swim and walk a lot, not sure where you're going but I always…
  • Drink lots of water. Well hydrated skin is beautiful and healthy. Reduce alcohol, pasta, Pizza, fast food. All of that increases bloating and might cause acne. Some people have pimples from chocolates too so stay away if it's your case. Lots of fish, sea food, veggies, salads, spinach. Beets are my favorites for digestion…
  • I had dinner with friends. California rolls, 6 pieces, espresso.
  • I love some of these recommendations, I use them as well. I'm a big fan of the NLP but the example with imagining bugs and spiders on food is not good at all. It can lead to a very unhealthy relationships with food. Instead it's easier to program yourself to choose healthier food options, food with lesser calories, no junk…
  • I looooooove food, it is definitely pleasure for me. It is not the only source of pleasures off course but for sure one of the top 5. I can enjoy it in limited quantity, quality what matters, similar to clothes and furniture. But it took me a while to stop treating food as the source of comfort, solution for boredeness.
  • I start my day with positive thoughts about my life, family, career, self esteem, etc. one of the things I say to myself is "Every day I'm getting healthier and more beautiful".
  • I eat less on the day of the event. Very light breakfast and very light dinner. And I never would refuse the afternoon tea and cakes, lol, love it too much.
  • Eat slowly and it'll help your brain understand when you are full. There's Mayr health clinic in Austria I went to couple times. And they strongly believe in chewing. Chew your food a lot. Mayr believed that digestion starts in your mouth. And that you need to drink your food, meaning you chew it so much that it becomes…
  • I make a salad from shredded cabbage, half a cucumber, parsley. I add some salt, pepper and sugar, and lemon juice instead of the oil. 150 grams is only 35 calories. With grilled or steam fish for protein it's a perfect light but very satisfying lunch.
  • Don't take melatonin if you're diabetic or prediabetic before consulting your doctor.
  • There are some people on full time fasting at the detox clinic I go to. They can have from 1 day to 7 days fasting under medical supervision. And then they're carefully put on a light diet, like very light waterly oatmeal to ease the digestion. But they do it only if they're healthy, for example I can't fast even for a day…
  • I'm sore for 1-2 days. But I've been going to sauna a lot after my gym time. Hot sauna and then cold water pool. Not sure if its accountable for me not being sore lately.
  • Ok, lol, I must admit, my dogs have a very privileged life, and often refuse food, they're spoiled brats. Two boys can easily refuse meat and chicken, girls eat better. It created some problems when we had to train them. They went hungry for 3 days before they started paying attention to the dog trainer with treats in his…
  • I don't know what kind and how much of mint and lemon you need to use to make them sweeteners. In general, a lemon is about 20 calories, 130% of vitamin C, maybe 1 gram of sugar if you got a really sweet one. I usually add 2-3 pieces of a lemon, so maybe 1/10 of a whole lemon, therefore 2 calories, 13% of vitamin C and 0.1…
  • I suggested adding sweeteners? No. I suggested adding some fresh lemon and fresh mint leaves. They might add some acid to water but more importantly add vitamins and some taste that the OP craves. Yet they're natural and healthy options. Please stop with your offensive talk. If you continue attacking me, I'll report your…
  • I don't eat a lot of salty things. But I gain about 2-4 pounds back usually within a month. It's kind of expensive but I take a short term. Most people take 14-21 days. I found that it's very helpful for the immune system too. I haven't been sick for years since I started doing it, even during flu seasons. And I used to be…
  • I'm sorry but I'm not obligated to educate anyone, especially if these requests are made in such a derogatory manner. If you are really interested in finding why water is healthier than soda, you can ask your doctor. As for the OP question, I'm just going to repeat my suggestion of adding fresh lemons and maybe mint leaves…
  • Once or twice a year I go to a detox and health clinic for 3-7 days. I do it mostly for my gallbladder but also to detox and to strengthen my immune system. There are a lot of tests and treatments there and also a special diet, including Mayr diet. I usually have a diet consisted of salt free food at about 1400 calories,…
  • I looooove dancing, used to do it professionally, also teaching too. It's a great exercise, it's fun, feminine and helps to lose weight and tone muscles. Most women in my class were losing weight but those who had portion control lost the most. One lady lost 40 kilos (80 pounds?) but she did follow a diet too. I also enjoy…
  • Although I must correct myself. My ex bf was a doctor, and he was unfortunately addicted to Soda. He had one Pepsi a week, that was maximum he could allow himself. He'd have 2-3 glasses of dry red wine a week which he considered much more healthy drink that Soda.
