Avoid eating out as much as possible. Not only because it tends to not be good for you, but tracking the calories is a pain in the butt. I would say limit either friend or restaurant to once/week as a "free day."

You need to be consistent with your exercise. You need to workout for at least 30 minutes per day 4-5 days/week. I highly recommend Jillian Michaels Body Revolution or Ripped in 30 or 30 day shred. Most of the time you re using your own body weight and not physical weights. Also, ignore the scale. It does you no good. Yes…

I think it is horrible when people ask for research, because they are too lazy to do it themselves. (1) A study performed by the Epidemiology Branch of the US National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, concludes that drinking 2 or more colas per day was associated with doubling the risk of chronic kidney disease.…

Clearly you have no science background and you are also too lazy too google any of your assumptions. Resting pH of stomach pH is 4-5. Yes, I meant enamel, but autocorrect preferred animal. Chemically, Phosphorous and Phosphoric acid are very different and are not the same. Correct, Phosphorous is a component of phosphoric…

Your logic is completely flawed, along with your science. Citric Acid Cycle/Krebs cycle provides its own buffering systems. Phosphoric acid and phosphorus are not the same thing. Citric Acid has been proven to tear down the animal in your teeth and affect your stomach negatively. Soda, with a pH of 3 is not healthy.…

I don't buy things I shouldn't eat and so both my daughter and I don't eat poorly. Out of sight, out of mind. Snacks are veggies and fruit. I always have a fruit bowl on the dining room table that is easy access and my daughter has no problems getting carrots, cucumbers, almond/cranberry snack sacks (made at home) or…

Real quick... Add Sodium tracking to your diary. You are taking in too much sodium. You need to cut back on fat intake. You are consistently going over fat limit. Consuming a lot of fat will make you fat. Also gives you low energy levels. Almost every time you exercise, you eat back the calories you burned. Don't eat back…

YES. She looks like that due to an excess of calories. You can eat an excess of calories as a vegan.

She is exactly on point. If you are not into googling human physiology, then I suggest you take a human physiology class or for even more basic information, take a nutrition class.

exercise 4 times per week... doing what? For how long? Lower calories or increase your workouts. What do you during the day? Moving or desk job? Why lose only 1 pound per week?

I do not shop Walmart. I refuse to shop Walmart. I am willing to pay more not to shop at a store where most of there employees do not get benefits and are underpaid. I shop at places that treat their employees well and I know my extra dollar(s) is to help the employees' families in health and in living.

You do not have to be white to be racist. You do not have to be a minority to feel discrimination and/or racism. Also, where are you pulling your "facts"? Completely incorrect. http://www.miamiherald.com/2012/03/28/2719868/network-broadcasts-surveillance.html…

Next time I will try and replace the flour with white beans to increase the protein.

BMI is a calculation you can do anywhere. Measuring fat to lean mass ratio you can use Dexa, Hydrostatic weighing and Bod Pod with confidence. http://www.bodyfattest.com/calendar/index.php?calendar_id=10

I don't understand why people are providing these people food! I saw my 600lb life (tv show) and a mother actually said, "I give her the food, but I don't make her eat it" and therefore she felt no responsibility for her daughter's life threatening obesity. I think people who provide food to people who have life…

You can puree fresh spinach in a blender with a bit of water. Then pour the spinach in ice cube trays and place in freezer. When frozen, pop them out, place in ziploc bag or container with lid and place in freezer. Use as needed. I also slice bananas, place on cookie sheet and freeze them. When frozen I stick in bag or…

lifestyle change. Learn to listen to your body. Only eat when you are hungry. If you are not trying to lose weight and end up losing weight, then eat exercise calories back.

Low cal, lowfat and low sodium salad dressing: Gulden's - Spicy Brown Mustard, 3 tsp Kozlowski Farms - Red Raspberry Vinegar, 2 Tablespoon Apple Sauce - No Sugar Added, 0.24 cup (I core an apple, chop it up and puree in blender) 26 calories/44g serving (I have a kitchen scale and weigh things.

Go for natural (no added sugars, hydrogenated oils, etc.) peanut butter. Everything you need is found in the oils and it will make you feel full.

Thanks for the reminder. I see all the big weight changes and think 22 is nothing. However it has made a huge impact on the my life with my energy level, emotional, mental and physical well being. I get more awesome every day. Also, for those of you who have lost little weight, yet exercise often, you are making your body…

Go get your fat measured by Dexa scan, hydrostatic weighing or bod pod. You will know your lean body mass. From there you can realize how low you can go (12-20% body fat for athletic, 20-26% for fit , etc.) I thought my goal weight of 126lbs was good until I found my lean body mass to be 125lbs. There is no way I could get…

35 calories of frozen yogurt? frozen yogurt is usually about 100 calories/ 4 oz serving (1/2cup). 35 calories is about 1/6th cup. 1/2 Fage 0% Greek yogurt = 66 calories and has 5g carb and 11g protein with vitamins, minerals, active cultures, etc. Can add fruit and freeze. I don't like buying frozen yogurt from shops. More…

A little nutrition note: combining protein with carbohydrates gives you sustained energy. It takes longer to process carb (preferred energy source for your body) when coupled with a protein. All of you that mentioned just carbs, get some protein in there! Some milk with your Kix, wrap some turkey around the cantaloupe. You…

regarding goal weight: I am 5' 5.5" My goal weight was 126 until I did hydrostatic weighing. My lean body mass is at 125 lbs. Goal weight of 126 is impossible because it would leave me with less than 1% body fat. Food for thought... http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/515140-to-know-thyself-is-to-take-measurements

water. Whenever I get tired, I drink 16oz iced water and feel refreshed.
