Kale has a ton of Vitamin A, C, and calcium. Add a few cups of it to a smoothie every morning with some frozen fruit and almond milk.

I do 4 cups kale or spinach, one cup frozen fruit or one banana, and then two cups unsweetened almond milk, cold water to fill the rest. If I'm doing a banana green smoothie, I add a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder. If I want to add some protein I add half a cup of Greek yogurt.

People who are unhappy and insecure in their own lives feel the need to criticize others choices. When I first started, one of my friends (who weighs way more than I do) first tried to give me a bunch of unsolicited advice, then sarcastically said "Well good LUCK staying on that. I predict you last a couple of weeks, binge…

I don't like vegetables at all either! I actually read a scientific study that apparently 25% of the population has taste buds that are especially sensitive to bitterness and those are the people who don't like vegetables. I get around it by doing a green smoothie every morning which takes care of at least 6 servings of…

I pretty much hate the taste of all vegetables! I don't know if I have more sensitive taste buds than the average person but they taste super bitter to me. The only way I can force myself to get them in is to have a green smoothie every morning and I'll put in four cups of kale or spinach and a cup of carrots. I don't hate…

SO many stupid comments, but some of the stand-outs: People putting me down: "You're really dumb for using an iphone app to monitor your health. Only a retard would do that." After I tell them I cleared it with my doctor - "Well, you should go to someone else because clearly your doctor doesn't know what they're talking…

I love bananas - my go-to afternoon snack is a sliced banana, plain Greek yogurt and 1/4 cup of granola mixed together. I am usually starving by around 3 pm and it keeps me full until suppertime.

I'm in, feel free to add me! I've lost 10 pounds relatively quickly using myfitnesspal, but I've heard the first 10 are always easiest to lose. Once I lost the next 10 I'll be at my goal weight.

My dietician said to use Stevia not the artificial sweeteners as apparently they're bad for your body and make you crave sugar more. I also use True Lemon or True Lime (made up for lemon/lime crystals) in my water instead of drinking juice which has tons of sugar.

I looked at your diary and it seems a significant portion of your calories are taken up by sweet desserts, and your sugar intake is consistently way over the recommended amount. You're lacking a lot in protein, vegetables and fruit. and judging from your diary you're probably malnourished. When you're on such a small…

I wouldn't worry too much about waist size as long as your BMI is healthy, sometimes it's all about genetics. I was 5'7 and 105 pounds all through junior high and high school but my waist size was ALWAYS 30 inches and back then I was so skinny people told me I looked like a walking skeleton. I've been everywhere from…

I make my meals on Sunday and then freeze them, then take them out to defrost the day before. Or I make something super easy like grilled salmon and asparagus.

Your body needs fat to function, you should be getting at least 25% fat in your total calories. Avocados' fat is the good kind of fat and makes a delicious snack, or better yet make guacomole - just add a little bit of lime juice and some garlic and cilantro.

I get this all the time whenever I try to lose weight. I don't mind the comments like "You don't need to lose weight, you're so thin!" because I think people are just trying to be nice and compliment you. However, a bunch of my friends ganged up on me recently during a party where I wouldn't eat the snacks provided (chips,…

I'm doing 1200 a day net - I try to eat about 1360 and burn 160 on my treadmill a day. I haven't found it TOO difficult except when I go out on the weekends. I tried to cut out juice, pop, alcohol and sugared coffees which were super calorie dense but didn't fill me up. To get all my required nutrients in and still be…

Feel free to add me! I'm trying to lose the last bit of Christmas weight I put on over the holidays and trying to lead a healthier lifestyle in general. I'm on 1200 calories a day and trying to cut out carbs and sugar and eat a lot more protein, fat, and vegetables.

Hi everyone! I've been in Edmonton for four years. Before that I lived in Calgary (I know, I know.) I'm 31 and work for the government. Trying to lose Christmas weight I put on over the holidays and lead a healthier lifestyle in general. Feel free to add me!

My go to snacks are: Mini babybel light cheese Handful of almonds Greek yogurt with honey and fresh berries Apple with peanut butter Yogurt Parfait (yogurt, fresh berries, granola)

Ugh, I tried to do one of those once. Couldn't make it to the 2nd day and felt light-headed and like I was going to pass out by the end of the first day. Don't do it, the only reason celebrities do it is because they want to lose weight before a big night like an awards show, but it's all water weight and you'll gain it…

I am, at first it seemed like way too little food, but I found once I cut out drinking calories and upped my protein and fat it was actually quite a lot of food. I cut out juice, sugared coffee, pop and empty calories of no nutritional value like candy, chips and cookies (though I will occasionally cheat if I have enough…

I wish this was available in Canada! I'm eating Oikos in the meantime. When I was in Greece, I ate this yogurt, honey and berries every day.

I don't get how you haven't gotten scurvy yet. Do you take vitamins?

I'm 5'7, currently 140 and my goal weight is 120-125, which is where I was about five years ago. I am small framed, 32A chest and always gain weight in the stomach like an apple so right now I look about four months pregnant all the time. Finding clothes like pencil skirts and fitted jeans that fit over such a huge stomach…

I have! At 1200 calories a day, if I drank any of my calories (other than unsweetened almond milk), it'd be hard to get the rest of my nutrients in and feel full. I actually haven't minded much, I work in a profession where people tend to drink heavily on weekends and waking up on Saturday and Sunday NOT hungover has been…

That is an amazing story. Not just the weight loss but overcoming the addiction as well - I work in a system where I repeatedly see people relapse over and ruin their lives and I know how tough it is to overcome. What an amazing achievement on both ends!

I've had to deal with the same thing too...I've had friends tell me I have an "eating disorder" because I count calories and that 1200 calories a day is anorexia level. They might be genuinely concerned, they might be overly nosy, or they might feel that you trying to lose weight forces them into the uncomfortable reality…

I was also terrible for going out with the girlfriends and getting dessert. I'd get a hot chocolate with whipped cream and Bailey's (probably like 400 calories) and a dessert like apple pie or cheesecake. My favourite was Apple Pie at Joey's, and when I looked that up on myfitnesspal it's 1050 calories and 55 grams of fat.…

Do you have a counselling service in your city? You should see one immediately before the situation gets worse. You should also see your GP doctor if you have one and ask them for help. They may be able to set up a plan with you for the time being and refer you to a psychologist or psychiatrist. The psychologist or…

What an amazing and inspirational story. You are so beautiful and you should be so proud of what you've accomplished despite everything! So many other people would have fallen apart with those obstacles, but you made yourself stronger because of them. Also, be glad you got rid of such a cowardly man in your life! I've had…

Here's the dress for those curious: http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/clothes-dresses/4130231801010.jsp?cm_sp=Grid-_-4130231801010-_-Regular_1 I think I might just drool over it for a while...It's one of those dresses that is very form fitting so basically if you have any bulges it'll show! Yeah, it's about $100…
