Well, since you don't define what you consider a binge to be, I will just assume it to be a lot of really empty calorie junk food consumed in a relatively short period of time, as it is rare to hear the word binge in relation to consuming massive quantities of lettuce and broccoli. So, in this case I would say that yes,…

Hey thanks, this thread was driving me nuts wanting bacon and bacon pancakes but just googling black pudding gave me a visual that should suppress my appetite for hours.

Greasy deep fried chicken fingers drowning in full fat ranch dressing. I am going to go weep in a corner now.

For those who do not have a medical reason for going gluten free, it is merely another fad diet that will eventually fade when the next fad comes along. The diet is far too restrictive for people who do not truly have a medical reason for giving it up. Dealing with the dogma that comes from a "true believer" is a whole…

Wow, seriously? Fruits and veggies. My God, she should be shot. Here's a thought, why don't you organize a big ol' meat party. Throw down on that wench.

I'm a former neighbor (born and spent most of my childhood and adult life in Southeast Idaho) but had to relocate to SoCal a few years ago.

It is indeed a true problem that fish is so fishy. Personally, I loathe seafood/fish. The texture, the smell, the taste, all of it. If you hate it, don't eat it. There are other ways to get the same kind of nutrients so why force yourself to eat something you find disgusting? If my husband wants fish, he can order it at a…

Inland Empire (why they call it an empire I cannot even begin to fathom).

Baja Bob and I have a standing Friday night date. I drink maybe 1 or 2 margaritas a week at 100 calories a pop.

I go get chocolate fat free frozen yogurt covered in yogurt chips and my sweet tooth is satisfied.

Well, I know that I am fat because I ate too much of the wrong food and exercised too little or not at all. I was always very, very thin as a child and as a young adult because I ate a reasonable amount of food and didn't know how to drive so biked and walked everywhere. I think it is strictly about what and how much you…

Yes, that one is from Skinnytaste.com I thought I left that in when I copied it from my notebook but I see it was not, so thanks for adding that :smile: There are a lot of good recipes on that site.

I am 5'6" and my goal is 135. I am an apple shape and that is the maximum weight I can carry before starting to look "fat." Prior to having children that was my steady weight for years. I have a very long haul to get back there but that is my goal.

Throw it away and every time she buys another one, throw it away too. See if she likes wasting money.

I use real sugar or honey to bake (but I usually cut it by half , especially if I am using applesauce or mashed bananas instead of oil). I also use the little pink packets for tea and coffee and I drink diet soda, yeah, I know artificial sweeteners are allegedly poison but so is the air we breath and the water we drink.

Perhaps the AMA is labeling it as such in order to make it easier to get insurance to cover the cost of weight loss surgery, or even the aftermath of weight loss (excess skin). The AMA is made up of doctors and their main motivator in life is money (not dissing them for that, just stating it as I see it). Personally I…

There won't be "national bans" on soft drinks or any other food. You do realize corporations run the world right, and they would hardly allow that. I've only been on this site for a few weeks but it had looked like it was a haven from the insane hate politics that are everywhere else. Guess I was wrong ::grumble:

I won't eat brown rice due to the high inorganic arsenic levels. Somehow that just doesn't sound all that "healthy" to me. I am switching to barley.

I worked for an orthopedist for many moons, a cracking/popping noise when you walk is not normal.

I don't think ours has gone up too much, if at all. However, I cook a lot more from scratch and we are cooking lots of rice and bean casseroles or soup type recipes. That way we can use less meat (saves calories and money). We are also starting to bake our own breads, English muffins, tortillas, flat bread, which is…

This gadget you mention intrigued me so I looked it up on Amazon, $180. Guess, I am going to have to live with baked fries.

They are not inappropriate and definitely NOT short shorts. They look cute.

McDonald's Premium grilled chicken sweet-spicy chili wrap 360 calories.

Personally, I would never contemplate it, ever. I work in the health care industry and the horror stories make me believe the risks far outweigh the reward. I don't judge others for making the choice but if you have to discipline yourself anyway to diet and exercise, why not lose it the old fashioned (healthy) way. Good…

I don't mind putting a recipe in using the recipe tab but I do wish we could access each others recipes.

If you have a stand mixer, making bread is insanely easy. We switched to it to save money and to move away from the massive number of preservatives in store bought bread. I do advise that if you are using whole wheat flour that you add vital wheat gluten to the recipe (it helps make it softer and it lasts a little longer).…

For me it was sodium, but that is because I retain water like crazy. I always try to get the highest fiber content I can, especially with bread. I have also just cut out white rice (though the arsenic in brown rice has me moving to barley instead) and whole wheat pasta instead of white.

Photoshop. That's the best you can do? Are you saying you don't have a magical solution? I am so let down. I expected a stranger on the internet to give me all of the secrets to the universe. I mean, come on, why should there be a price to pay for 20 years of an insanely unhealthy lifestyle. Life is just terribly unfair…
