Eat Protein. YAY ME!!! I'll add it to my resume and qualifications.

What he said. Eat, Drink, and celebrate the wedding. This is a one-time deal and worthy of celebration. Just move more. Get a workout in, eat before the reception (so you don't overdo it on high calorie treats), and enjoy.

If you are looking to lose weight, log your foods. Regarding eating clean, eat according to your definition, with what ever exceptions you choose. I try to avoid refined foods altogether, which means I don't eat products with refined wheat in it... I do my best to eat whole fruits, veggies, meats, and seafoods for the most…

Cook meals that work both ways- stirfry can be cooked vegetarian style, and the meat cooked in a different pan and added to his plate. Spaghetti (squash) can be served with or without meatballs. Get creative and make dishes that work both ways.

Yes Lavender, and I know I can stay within my calorie budget, I just don't at times- compulsive comes in for me when I don't stop at one drink or one piece of chocolate, etc. Then in comes "F' it" and before I know it, I'm over and still going nowhere. Like I said, I wouldn't usually consider such a restrictive deal, but…

Bring foods that you want to eat! I'm bringing shrimp and crab, and a colorful array of sliced bell peppers mmm.

I sell seafood and send it out on Fed Ex. ~~ ><((((º> ~~ A lot of people are getting crabs from me... Well, crabmeat, crab legs, etc. to serve at their Superbowl parties...

awesome- love it.

My morning smoothy consists of milk, greek yogurt, blueberries, strawberries, and protein powder. I attempt to get my protein in with whole foods, and fill out the need with protein shakes. You can also make stuff with protein powder- pancakes= eggs, protein powder, and maybe a banana... there are tons of recipes out…

Yes one could argue that if you can see your breath in the kitchen, food will prolly last a bit longer lol

What detox would you suggest if I ate 1000 of these? (snicker)

That's pretty funny Dbmata. Who's fitness?! LOL That said, I took those numbers off of a document at work (I work for a seafood company), and after looking closer at the internet out there, I see these are general numbers, and that there are varying opinions and arguments out there. It is a known fact that growing bacteria…

We move in the mirror :) That's the difference.

I usually research the restaurant beforehand if I can, to see which choices are best- or I go the way of soup/salad... or just salad :)

Did you get the UP? I am enjoying mine! I got it for my birthday nearly a month ago. I too have lost plenty of weight without one., and while I don't NEED it, I find it beneficial and do continue to use it for several reasons: 1. my fella got it for me and it was a gesture of his support toward my goals. 2. It tracks my…

I find protein shakes help, but if you want to go less processed, Egg Whites are fantastic low-cal protein.

Ha yeah I would have deleted that one but a friend of mine had taken it and posted it. It was a terrible picture of me, but no matter what angle, I knew that it told a story about the state of my health at the time, and got me thinking about all the Medifast, Fat2Muscle, 4Hour Body, Atkins, etc etc etc that I had already…

Ask a trainer to watch you and make suggestions. Or ask someone else who looks like they know what they're doing. Most people will help if they can.

I recently wrote a blog post about this: https://www.dietbetter.com/community/posts/general/4051-eating-clean-cooking-ahead-is You don't have to avoid going out completely- get a salad! If it's Mexican, get fajitas and avoid the tortillas. If Chinese, go for lean meat and veggies- Kung Pao is my favorite, and I avoid the…

You are most likely losing fat that way, but also, lean mass (muscle). If you keep it up, you will suffer with a lower metabolism, plateaus in losses no matter how you work out, vitamin/mineral deficiencies, and ugly loose skin. Maybe you should rethink your goals and the speed at which you attain them. Talk to your doctor…

Your doctor told you 800-900 calories, or is that your choice? If it’s the doctor’s instruction, get a second opinion before you go under the knife. If you decided on the low extreme, talk to your doctor and then take his/her advice. Otherwise you’ll lose weight, but you’ll lose muscle as well as fat, thus reducing your…

Not often, but I do try to make it up. For example, I missed my workout yesterday so took a walk instead and did the workout today. otherwise it's like a prescription: you just get yourself back on schedule and press on. I don't believe it's helpful to beat myself up over it, because what's done is done (or not done), and…

Smoothies! Get some good protein powder: My morning smoothy goes like this: one scoop protein powder 1/2 cup nonfat plain greek yogurt 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk 1/3 cup frozen blueberries 3 frozen strawberries dash of cinnamon sometimes I also add flax or chia seed: = around 300 calories: 40g protein, 27g carbs, 7g…

Meat. I was mostly vegetarian before I started concentrating on macros. It's difficult (not impossible) to get enough protein without it!
