My entire diet is based around good quality low fat protein and 2 veggies per meal with 2 pieces of fruit for snacks. I use grains and other carbs as treats. moving rice, bread & potatoes to the background it makes plenty of room for fruit and veg...

an empty plate...it WAS an egg white omelet

Higher carb foods will make me even hungrier than I was before I ate! Try cutting the carbs down a little bit...go to 150 grams per day for a week or so and see what happens. You are eating decent "types" of food, but it looks to me that you are not eating enough protein. By protein, I don't mean sweetened yogurt or…

Life is a series of choices...most all of us make choices that we sometimes regret. That said, as long as you don't make this decision on a DAILY basis, you will be doing great!! Just make sure you don't wallow in the guilt...you ate it, you enjoyed it at the time, stay under your calorie goal for the week and move…

False I've never sky-dived, dove...whatever (sp?)

REALLY? You actually KNOW my sister in law?? LOL

OMG!! I just LOL'd so hard I peed!

I agree with OP - In my gym there isn't another place to "go". They will not let you take the free weights or the barbells out of the "cushioned" area...and they just keep encroaching on the free weight/bench area with silly machine thingys that no one uses! drives me nuts...do we REALLY need a ladder hanging from the…

Well put!!

Your before and after are nothing short of amazing! if you want pizza eat it, something you are doing is RIGHT!!

It seems some people are too rigid about a lot of things!!!

no - punctuation is used...anything unnatural AND dairy, grains, and weat.

that's me, too...:sad:

just sayn'

Do you cook much? I haven't bought stock - chicken, Veg or beef in YEARS. Google recipes and make it at home from the scraps that you cut away from meat an veg that you eat during the week. I freeze odd chicken parts in gallon zipper bags, and the ends of carrots, onions, celery, peppers, cabbage and use these big bags of…

I am having the same issues. I loose 3 pounds from Monday to Friday (mostly water I am sure) then gain 2.999 back over the weekend. I KNOW this is the reason I am not loosing - I KNOW IT AND I CAN'T SEEM TO STOP IT! So - I took a good hard look at what I was doing to myself and this weekend I decided that I was going to…

Cut your carbs to 100gms and boost the clean protein...egg whites, chicken breast, fish...

Me too...secret eaters AND supersize super skinny or whatever that one is called...

Finally - proof! I am so tired of hearing I don't eat enough...honestly, what works for one will not work for all! I ate strict paleo for 2 months and gained 2 pounds while working out 5 days per week. And it was all in my waist, so no, not "muscle" gain...I couldn't button my darn pants! Once I started counting calories…

DITTO!

I sure hope so!! I just started the 30 Day Shred today and my arms are like jello. It's gotta be doing something! Oh - you can use the level one 30DS on you tube for free so you can see if you like it before you buy it.

I just googled the diet. It is very interesting...seems that it would work because of the built in "cheat" days...I can do anything for 6 days in a row and this seems to tap into that need for a break, or a birthday party, or a birthday CAKE! LOL

I do this too! I found flavored stevia drops...vanilla & orange are awesome.

What about making a big pot of veggie-packed spaghetti sauce - make it meatless, then you can put it over turkey or chicken Italian Sausage and run it under the broiler with a bit of mozzarella cheese. In the States we can get some very good chicken sausage that truly are half the calories of pork. Then freeze the rest for…

I spent 30 FREE minutes this afternoon talking to a registered fitness trainer - not just a gym employee - because I have hit a plateau. He took the time to write a few new exercise routines, reviewed my eating habits, checked my body fat...I belong to the YMCA. They are expensive, but I never feel like a looser (so many…

this totally!!!

Funny to find this thread. I decided that I must be eating more than I think so I have vowed to log every single mouthful for a week and see what the heck is going on...Just having to track all the miscellaneous bites is starting to drive me nuts...I truly didn't realize how often I grab a grape or a "bite" of something…

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I am a little "carb sensitive" and gluten intolerant so for me a LOWER carb diet is the better...however, by lower carb I mean no bread, grain, sugar, rice. I eat a ton of veggies (not white potatoes) and a few pieces of fruit a day, protein - any and all - nuts, and very limited dairy. Something that might work...try…

WOW! I was just going to say a pint of Ben and Jerry's...ya'll went nuts out there! LOL
