  • I just use the MFP "Stretching - hatha yoga" numbers, no matter WHAT hatha practice I do. (I mean "hatha yoga" in the traditional sense, as the physical practice of asanas, regardless of western style branding.) Never underestimate the power of going slow and breathing deeply. I read a research article a while back (can't…
    in Yin yoga burns how many calories per hour please? Comment by Trishe57 August 2014
  • I'm really not sure I can do this. I'm just not hungry enough to eat that much! I am upping the weight training, so maybe it will kick in. I mean, I can barely clear the 1200 calorie mark unless I eat Indian buffet and increase my red wine intake. I get the feeling that that's not the idea, though. :wink: So, I'm going to…

  • Thanks Anitra! I started yesterday, though I didn't get to the 2000 mark. What I did do was change my weight loss in MFP to 1 pound a week, and attempted to eat back my exercise. I failed, but today I'm on better track. =) I eat eggs, but dairy and I don't get along. I have been using Chia and Flax too, so thanks for those…

  • I'm vegetarian too. I chronically under eat, so I'll be doing the metabolic reset FIRST. Or trying too. 1700 cal a day is overwhelming. But I am tired and I am not successful on 1200 a day.
    in New to forum, any other vegetarians here? Comment by Trishe57 August 2014
  • Hi, I'm Trish. 1. Vegetarian or Vegan? Vegetarian Mostly vegan for 24 years, although I take the occasional egg. Rethinking that right now. =) 2. Why did you chose the 5:2 diet? I want to try it.

  • Add vegetables. Lots of them. Not so many calories but loads of fiber. It'll help you lose that 7 or so pounds that we carry around in our intestines from slow-digesting foods (meat and bread).

  • I'm a vegetarian - I get "What's THAT?" comments about my lunch all the time, followed by, "Yuck, I hate tofu". So I've started going out for a power walk at lunch, and eating half my meal a little before lunch, and the other half a little after lunch. Today, at a work luncheon, I was checking the calories of my restaurant…
