I like to slice them up and drizzle them with soy sauce or salsa, then put them on a nice pair of over-easy eggs and some hot rice. Yummy.

In the US, at least in the cities I've lived in, it's fairly common to receive a yearly water standards report. Basically keeping you updated on what's in your water and how safe it is. Where I am in Florida it's pretty healthy and doesn't taste half bad. Though I do filter it with a pitcher that I keep in my fridge, but…

Also, congratulations to the OP on your new dietary change! I hope that your positive changes continue (aside from the bloating, and don't worry, that will pass)!

This is actually a really good idea. I'm trying to cut back on my animal products and have found that I have more energy during the day if I include more vegan foods as the animal foods seem to make me sleepier. Unfortunately, full-time veganism is heavily medically contraindicated for me, so I have to find a good balance…

Food aversions are a pretty sensitive subject and very difficult to get over, especially since we humans are programmed to be suspicious of new foods in case they turn out to be poisonous. Start slow, puree sweeter vegetables like carrots with fruit to make smoothies or juices, or add them into other things that he already…

A hersheys kiss.

For a sliced avocado I like drizzling it with soy sauce or lemon juice. For half of one, I like to drop an egg in the hollow once I remove the pit and and bake it.

Yep yep! Have 30lbs to drop, at least to start out with. At 35 it's not going to be easy, but I can do this!

Almond milk has only 1g of protein per 40 calorie cup, add in the 180mg of sodium and lack of any real vitamins, minerals, or fiber and it just isn't worth spending the calories on. If you're looking for a plant based milk you're best off with unsweetened soy at 7g of protein (plus a nice variety of those vitamins and…

Hot enough to melt the butter? No. Hot enough to speed up spoilage and promote mold growth? Absolutely. I keep my house between 76 and 82 degrees most of the year, any cooler and the AC costs would beggar me.

Yes, because I live in Florida and it would go bad quickly otherwise. We used to have a butter bell, and that worked really well during the cooler months, but it broke a while back.

So get a lettuce wrap. I didn't log that meal (it was a while ago), but I know it was super healthy; lots of protein and fiber. Just make sure whoever makes it doesn't put water chestnuts in, since they're pretty standard to the recipe.

Oh man, I feel you on the colorful mess. I won't drink pink lemonade and am super touchy about Cheetos to this day because of a stomach flu as a kid. Nothing like trauma to make us humans shy away from a food forever.

I didn't even know creamed peas were a thing... But, probably someone who saw they could get a giant case of the things for cheap?

And I love to cook! Chicken lettuce wraps with spicy sweet potatoes. Grilled salmon on coconut rice with steamed vegetables and spinach. Coconut pancakes with blueberries, whipped cream, and three syrups.

I love knitting lace, it's one of my favorite pastimes. Laramie (by Rae Blackledge) in KnitPicks Gloss Lace: Sterling. Swallowtail Shawl (by Evelyn A. Clark) in Expression Fiber Arts Silk Lace: Iridescent Grey.

Working on the same thing myself. Under recommendation I've started strength training three days a week. It's slow going, but if the soreness in my arms is any indication it will pay off eventually.

Yep! I buy mostly frozen veggies these days because I don't have to worry about them spoiling if I'm gone for a few days. Plus, they're tasty, super-nutritious, and quick to micro-steam.

Cilantro, licorice, regular coffee, and the texture of fat or gristle in meat. Ick. Also not much of a fan of chicken either. I'll eat it, but I don't really care for it and it has to be pretty heavily flavored to make putting in the effort worthwhile.

It really depends on the day, but for the most part I don't usually have anything to eat until closer to noon. I just don't get hungry before then. And even at that point, it's often just an instant breakfast or similar in some tea.

Ah, my kind of people! I try not to eat too much sugar or fast-food during the week, but starting lunchtime Friday? All is fair in love and dieting! Still, if I happen to to want a cookie or a glass of wine during the week, then I have it and just log it in my diary. Life is too short to freak out over some cheese or a bit…

These adorable dresses that I got for Christmas. They're just a little too small, but losing a few inches around the middle and hips will fix that!

No, definitely not. 1000 calories is several hours hiking over rough terrain, not doing a few calisthenics in your living room.

I usually aim for at least 5 miles a day, 5 days a week. I also rest one day a week, and spend the last hiking in the woods. I've been lazy this past year, after recovering from a nerve issue, but now am working on getting back into it. When I actually stick to the plan, I see definite improvements within just a few weeks,…

I started pole last spring and absolutely love it. Right now I have to take a break, but I'm spending the time until i can go back to classes working on strength so that I can keep learning things when I make my return.

Oh goodness, yes. 5', 137 lbs, 35 years old. I lost all of the weight I wanted to a couple of years ago, then had an injury and gained it all back. Now I get to start over, woo... Trying to lose about 30 lbs, though I'm really more interested in trimming inches all around. Adds are welcome! Have resumed walking my 10k…

Provided you can digest them without a lot of distress, I recommend beans. They're packed with fiber, protein, vitamins, and essential minerals. They're naturally very low in fat. And you can prepare them hundreds of different, delicious ways. Chipotle spiced black beans with a sliced up avocado are one of my favorite post…

I enjoy cubing mine and adding them to lentil curries. Or just currying them by themselves and throwing in a big handful or two of mustard greens, spinach, or kale. Super tasty.
