Anything dark roasted no sweetner, no creamers.

No, drinking green or any other tea won't cause any significant weight loss. The only reason to drink any tea is because you enjoy it. If the weight loss claims were true I would weigh less than zero lbs. The reality is I'm 60 lbs overweight.

I gave up bread and have cut way back on on other starchy foods. Wasn't a problem to do so. Why do you need a bread alternative?

One of my son in laws was eating dry oats. Didn't seem very appetizing to me. He said something about it making you feel fuller to help control overeating.

Green tea needs to be brewed for a short time, some for only 30 to 40 seconds, in water that is between 145 F to 170 F. Some green teas you can brew the same leaves 4 to 5 times and the 4th brewing is the best cup in the series. It can take some time for your taste buds to appreciate the subtle flavors in any of the green…

Do the instructions on the box allow for not using the eggs, milk, and oil??? Some box mix cakes are done with water only but there is anoption to add oil, eggs or milk for a better cake. Pancake mixes don,t usually give you an option as I recall. Subtract the calories from the eggs, milk and oil amount from the total…

The most informed answer you could get about this would come from an endocrinologist.

Almost any store that haskitchen items will have food scales. Target, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Williams-Sonoma etc

Detoxing is just the modern, trendy term for snake oil.

The biggest drawback, imo, is that they are somewhat lacking in quality nutrition value. There are better choices when you look at the long term. Occasional use, ok for when you really need the convenience.

I often add chopped kale to fried or sauteed cabbage and onions. Season with salt, pepper, garlic and some crumbled bacon

Maybe some sort of torture devices:bigsmile:

I would just count it the same as grass fed beef

I'm thinking that if there were any real, scientifically proven truth to using dandelion roots for health, we would see acres upon acres of it being grown in placee of corn, wheat and soybeans. As it is, we see acres and acres of dandelions which most people consider a weed not a valuable crop. I do know that the leaves of…

This comment kind of touches on my thoughts about surgery (where I worked for many years). All surgeries and anesthesia involve risk. Some times its minor things that go wrong. Every now and then though the surgery or the administration of anesthesia causes death or other serious problems which one may survive but not…

Macros are proteins, carbohydrate and fats. Macros is shorthand for macro nutirents. Most people are referring to getting the correct number of calories within the recommended amount of protein, carbohydrates and fats for your weight loss goals when they speak of macros. Micro nutrients are things like vitamins and…

In my mind, that would makke the plate 3/4 carbs & 1/4 protein.

How much over are you going ?

I don't eat if I don't have any desire to eat. On occasion I will eat just a small snack.

I drink on average at least 14 to 16 cups per day.

What you are describing sounds like orthostatic hypotension, which needs to be investigated by your doctor to find the cause in your case.

You need to read the ingredients list on the packaging to find the specific sugars used.

Scoobyworkshop.org (or it might be .net) has a good set of instructions on how to go from zero pull ups to really good form pullups.

Considering the entire digestive/metabolism process the things that most easily store as fat are sugars and starches . Use theem sparingly .

Anthropologic studies indicate that a woman would aim for a waist to hip ratio of 0.7.

IMO, such cravinngs indicate you are needing some nutrient from those particular foods. In my experience with similar cravings, once your body has obtained sufficient quanties of the nutrients the craving or anticipation will cease.

The good thing is Pepsi doesn't contain fat.

Just speculation, but most men with big bellys wear their pants well below the waist. Once the belly starts shrinking it could be that the pants are being worn just a little higher or closer to the waist.

I've seen several comments that people feel cold when they are losing weight. The water you are drinkng isn't the cause.

Some decades ago Paul Harvey had a "Rest of the Story" segment about a person in Great Britain who drank him/her self to death. It was mae to seem as though it was alcohol but in the end it was water. The amounnt consumed was 35 pints per day near the time of the persons death.
