I would never eat a pop tart for breakfast but I would have them for a snack. I may be sending out the husband out to Big Lots to find some :flowerforyou: . How ever I would never eat toaster strudel. I do love my home made ones.

It is health to eat a wide range of food. Try not to think of any food as "bad" keep within your calorie limits. Make sure you get enough protein. Eating a few cookies will not cause weight gain but pigging out will not be the healthiest choice. If I have a heavy fruit day I might go over on my sugar but the next day I may…

it is due to calories and fat but it is so minimal. This is a left over for the years of no fat in our diets phobia. If you want less calories just eat one less egg. Eggs are a great source of inexpensive protein.

I top I have not been able to wear for over a year fit me perfect today.

Great thread. I am a RN with some understanding of nutrition but really love what you are doing. Thanks I hope to learn good information from you!

Welcome to the Dark Side :flowerforyou:

Exactly! If you give up the things you enjoy will you enjoy your new found thinness or will you be thin and unhappy?

You are an evil evil person and I think I love you! I have not eaten a Pop Tart in years but may have to look at the dollar store soon.

I can tie my shoes without difficulty. Also after 2 years of being ill and not being able to do much I can hike a trail with a 90 foot incline and 2 miles long. It feels wonderful!

I take baby spinach saute it with a little olive oil garlic and chili flakes. So good. The other way I like is to take spinach that was frozen thawed and drained well mix with eggs, ricotta cheese, a little Romano cheese, a dab of nutmeg and bake it

How about the same type of filling you put in a cinnamon roll. something like brown sugar, cinnamon, butter and a bit of flour.

Pie dough either home made or store bought rolled out. If you want a true Pop Tart shape cut rectangles or use a biscuit cutter and cut out a round. Take a bit of Nutella, spread over leaving the edge free add strawberry jam if desired. top with a second piece for dough. Crimp the edges with a fork and bake. I actually…

I am not too fond of store bought Pop Tarts but I sure do love my home made ones with Nutella and Strawberry jam! Makes me drool just thinking of them. Now I need to go get some Ice Cream!

No one has ever hiked the AT and gained weight it changes your body as well as your mind. I wish you well. I have hit the trail for day hikes never for a through hike. Hiking may not be a true cardio but you will burn calories and build core strength. It is my exercise of choice and I always feel wonderful after a good…

I would have theProsciutto e melone for antipasti,Spinaci for the salad and the roast sea bass. Sounds wonderful.

You are not a physician yet and may never be but after 30 years in the medical field I find most doctors know more than you realize about nutrition at least my husband and I do.

That!

This too is a must try thanks for sharing!

I talked with a very good dietician and .7-1 gm/kg of weight is what is generally recommended for a person that is active and healthy.

Depending on the info you added yes it is. I am around 1300. You can add more calories by doing daily exercise just like on WW. 1200 is the lowest you can do. If it is too few calories you can reduce the amount of pounds you want to lose in a week and you will get more calories. How much a week did you put in that you want…

OH Yum that looks great :heart:

use the MFP app?

There is no medical reason to wait 2-3 hours after eating to sleep. There is lots of folk lore and weight gain info out there most of is just plain garbage started with some popular weight lose book or person trying to say his or hers is the best diet out there. It eating late=wt gain most Europeans would be over weight.…

I often (daily) have a evening snack and still lose weight. I don't think you body knows if it is 6:00 or 7:30.

I use white fish or shrimp, cook them with green salsa and lime juice. I make a slaw with cabbage finely shredded that I make a vinegar and oil dressing for. I griddle corn tortillas and top them all with a little bit of low fat sour cream.

It would be great to see some Bento Box lunch pictures here too!

While a Vita-Mix is da bomb and it is wonderful but very pricey. I got eachof my adult kids and myself a Ninja set. It was not expensive it had 3 different sized containers was less than 60 bucks at Sams club. I am sure they are sold at many other places too.

I was a bad gestational diabetic and not because I was over weight. See a dietician they will be the best person to guide you. It is not just sugar that is the issue.

What he says and did is exactly right! Good luck you can help control your blood sugar with diet if you can't don't feel bad some very health people develop diabetes it is not always your life style that causes it but it can help control it.
