  • Substituted cherries into this. Throwing some fresh cherries and Coconut Almonds onto it when I serve it and I have to say it is a great way to start the day.
  • Throwing up = need for hydration + anti nausea. Most over the counter anti-nausea meds are basically sugar water or syrup (cola syrup, for example). So, I guess makes sense PowerAde would be used
  • Only if you throw it at him
  • That Non-alcoholic beer is for people who don't wont to get drunk but like to pee a lot ... wait a minute, that one is true ... never mind
  • Depends on how you reheat it. Microwaving it or reheating at high heat will continue to cook the meat, to OVERCOOK it. As with any meat, you cook it to well done and it starts to have the texture and taste of shoe leather (whether it is the first time you cook it or you reheat it to well done). Meat also continues to cook…
  • Found a whole bunch of recipes on Pinterest http://pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=PB2
  • My Smoothie is as follows: Ice; Triple sec; Tiquilla; Margaritta mix Blend until smooth. I enjoy it in the late afternoon, but it makes a good wake up smoothie as well
  • Consuming whole raw fruit and veggies balance the delivery of energy and satiate the appetite. Liquid calories deliver blood sugar much faster to the blood stream. It is not a bad thing if done occasionally, but it leads to increased production of insulin (mobilizes fat storage), subsequent up and down swings in energy…
  • RAW (read RAW) Fruits and vegetables promote weight loss because they ... •are very low in fat. •are low in calories. •are high in fiber, vitamins and minerals. •eliminate wastes quickly and help reduce cravings for sweets. •keep your energy levels steady so you don't become too hungry or too tired. •carry off excess body…
  • Seasoned Sun Luck Rice Vinegar. 5 grams sugar (25 kcal) / tablespoon. A tablespoon actually goes a long way on veggies. If you like them a little spiced up, a dab of Sriracha Chili Sauce with the vinegar will give them a bite as well.
  • Yes, your calorie goal is too low. This is all anyone has to say
  • Well, they are mostly soluble fiber - lol Guess I need to chew before I swallow
  • Check out http://www.leangains.com/ . He is all about doing a 16 hour fast every day and does not eat breakfast. The idea of breakfast being important might be a bit overrated. People who eat breakfast, as a group, are healthier, but the reason may not be because they eat breakfast. As people become hungry, they are more…
  • I was going to hit the Asian mall this week. I was thinking of using it more as a substitute for Asian noodle dishes, but I think if it is covered with a lot of sauce, it could pass for spaghetti. I'll try it and let you all know.
  • I've used rice wine vinegar (sweet) and marinated cucumber slices, baby carrots, brocholli florets, etc., with it. It gives some sweetness to your veggie snacks and you can eat a lot and still keep the kcal and sugar low. Strawberries are in season and you can eat 6 or 7 of them for under 100 kcal (and very little sugar).…
  • You do not want to consume too many liquid calories. Juicing removes the bulk of the fruit or veggie, leaving mostly water and sugars left to drink. They absorb very quickly in your body, spiking your blood sugar. You also end up consuming a lot more calories than just eating the fruit or veggie and it will not help…
  • 12 oz Apple Cider 2 cups Baby Spinach Raw 0.5 whole avacado 1 Apple 1/2 cup Whole Unsweetened Strawberries - Frozen 1 fl oz Lime Juice
  • Non-stick pan on medium high heat. Leave the pan dry, pat the meat dry with paper towel, and generously brush the meat with safflower oil (doesn't smoke as much) and season meat. Rub the oil and seasonings into the meat DON'T turn the meat more than once
  • I have been married to my wife 20 years. She has gained 25 lbs in those years and does not have the svelt figure she once had. I still love her and find her very attractive. I am on a journey of improving my own health. I am down 37 lbs since August of 2012, am walking/jogginf 40 miles a week, am lifting weights twice a…
  • My wife had gotten out of a verbally abusive relationship just before we got together so many years ago. Self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-image were all effected (she was 22 at the time). Good, honest compliments and support in everything she did was key to restoring her self confidence and recognizing herself as the…
  • Sounds to me like your calorie deficit is too high. If you lost 17 lbs in three weeks and (it wasn't mostly water), you need to increase your calories. Like others have suggested, adding a bit more fat to your diet might actually be good. Fat slows down the absorbtion of carbs and helps satiate hunger. Stay away from…
  • Aminoblast BCAA Superfuel (get the flavored). This is a pre-workout supplement to provide muscle endurance and recovery, not really a protein supplement. Good for anabolic workouts (strength training/HIIT) If you cant meet your protein goal, I would suggest a change in your diet (a little more meet, beans, cheese, yogurt,…
  • Weigh yourself same time, same day, ONCE a week, and take the weight with a grain of salt. DOESN'T MEAN MUCH! Your focus is to lose body fat. Weight can fluctuate 4-5 lbs in a day due to fluid retention and rapid weight loss (lose 5 lbs in one week?! it isn't body fat - UNLESS you ran a marathon 5 of those days) is all…
  • My food is kind of boring - Oreos, chocolate chip cookies, ice cream, brownies, Burger King, pizza - you know, just sensible food. okay, so I'm really sticking to low carbs on account of a recent diagnosis of diabetes. Really run of the mill healthy stuff for the most part (and some not so healthy in moderation).
  • Nice work!
  • I will guess 155 I am 6'2" and I used to pound down in excess of 3000-3500 kcal/day. I could maintain my weight of 195# with exercise (was a big gym rat in my younger days) and I always swore I would never go over 200#, but guess what? Time has a way of providing accountability. Age slowed things down and exercise became…
  • Well, MFP is giving you the calories, eat 'em. Also take the 1200 kcals with a grain of salt. You should lose body fat on that, but don't feel you have to stick to it every day. You want your body guessing all the time and if you stick to the same diet and same exercises every day, it adjusts. Nice to have a day or…
  • What drives me nuts are the diet plan claims of 5-10 lbs lost in a week. Sure, easy to lose 5-10 lbs of fluid (which can come rght back). But real FAT loss ... hello, ~3500 kcal/pound, folks. Run a marathon/day and you can REALLY lose 10 lbs fast.
