I'm sorry, but did you just say meow?

I eat 51 a day too! Well actually 51 grams blended in my raw vegan protein smoothie. Freelee looks healthy though. Good for her if that is what she likes. I have a friend who is a serious triathlete and very weight conscious. She went raw vegan and swore that she always had energy, was never sick and could eat to her…

I do something similar to this. I use frozen bananas, almond milk, almond butter, cocoa powder and raw cocoa nibs. It's amazing and low in calories.

You are supposed to net 1200. Eat more.

It's actually easier, not healthier, for me when I don't count calories. I lose weight really quickly. I don't focus so much on food and when I don't know that I have surplus calories I don't think I need to eat to hit my calorie goal. I know that sounds weird but it's just so. When you stop eating the hunger goes away. I…

What is your height and weight and age? Or do you know your TDEE as given by the online calcs? Are you sure that you are only eating 1400. There have been times when I was logging and thought I was at a certain limit but when I went back and looked I was under the limit a few times but mostly over the limit often.

This is me.

Thanks all for your replies!

Hah! Funny. Did it taste like chicken? We have a ton of deer out where we are so I don't get any of the plums or apples from the new trees I planted. We want to put in a garden but will first have to put up a huge deer fence. Then I wonder about the little ground hog putzing around the property. Will we have to eat her if…

Some people would say that eating meat and fruit and veggies is healthy. What did your average meat heavy dinner look like? I have been meaning to add in dhal and veggie shak days to bring our bill down but lately have been on a seafood kick.

I was reading an article about the culinary scene and the farm to table movement hitting Hawaiian restaurants now. The author asked the chef why Hawaii is so late to the game and he pointed out that while Hawaii has amazing weather for growing things, the land is so expensive that farmers can not afford to farm it. I…

I hear you on those honey crisp apples. They are as big as a cat's head, well almost. I just cut up 60 grams of one and there is still about 3/4 of it left. I'm lucky in that my kids will come home and gobble the rest up and I will not have to eat 300 calories in apple to not feel guilty about the cost and kids in china…

I am really impressed by your frugality. No joke, you should write a book. I need to find some ways to cut down our bill. When I first drew up a budget I had no idea how much food in the US would cost, after living overseas for 10 years, so I budgeted 800 dollars a month.

Eating healthy is not cheaper than eating crap. Fresh fruit and vegetables, when not from your garden, cost a lot more than cheetos and mac and cheese. I just bought 3 large Mt. Rainier something something crisp apples and they were over 8 dollars. They are not organic but they are still firm and juicy. We live in Northern…

How is this even possible? I have a family of four and we spend 1,000 to 1200 a month on food. I buy all our milk, butter and yogurt organic. Our eggs are cage free. Our chicken is organic. Fish is wild caught only. Beef and lamb, usually grass fed. Fruits and veggies not organic (aside from bell peppers and berries). What…

What is your calorie limit? Perhaps it is too low for you. Maybe you can eat a little more and lose at a slower rate. When I feel like eating something crunchy I munch on celery (if I am over my calorie limit and can't fit chips in).

I know people who have diastasis recti from pregnancy and this is what it looks like. That tummy doesn't look fat. The down side of it is that you will have to have an operation to bring them back together again.

Um I'm a big fan of Milky way Midnight minis.

Eat it. Or buy a mini and eat it and then eat something healthy, like raspberries. Mmm chocolate and raspberries. Personally I would be drinking a glass of pinot noir and eating raspberries but that is me....

Fill a bowl with ice cream. Take a spoon and lift heavy amounts into your mouth. You don't want to lift to exhaustion however because then you will not be able to go for round two. Just make sure that you are lifting enough. When the bowl is empty repeat..... All jokes aside I think that the ability to gain muscle in the…

Hah! If a yogi falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it....... I need cat gifs!

You look great and way to set a good example for your kids!

When you splurge you probably eat more carbs and salt than you were eating while cutting. This means you gained water weight and also replaced some glycogen in your muscles. When you work out your muscles also retain water to help repair.

You are doing something right if you are seeing a difference in your measurements.

Saving for later reading. Can't wrap my head around the link right now...

How does a scale calculate body fat? I've been wondering this for a while. OP, if your floor is not level any scale will vary your weight depending on your feet position and your balance.

If you do use an item with an asterix by it double check the calories and macros. I have found a few to be wrong.

Eating at 1200 is not indicative of an eating disorder.

I'm not sure about that. Yet what I do know is if you eat your ice cream with a fork, half the calories magically fall between the prongs. It's scientifically proven.

I'm still intrigued by the hypothalmus reset. What exactly do you mean by that?
