Consider making nut or cauliflower sauces (tons of recipes on pinterest). I've found the creamy nuttiness adds flavor and texture to meals that keeps things interesting.

This happens to me every month. Cutting back on your time (like dropping from 30 minutes to 20 minutes) is a good idea and will keep you from hurting yourself. You won't lose the ability you've already gained in just a few days and the rest might actually make your first few runs after this feel even better. :) Good luck!

I've been running for a number of years, up to and including half marathons and hopefully will be doing my first full marathon this fall, and one thing that I have always felt to be true is that you can only focus on one aspect of running at at time. If you are trying to build up your endurance to run a longer time you…

Every morning and usually before/after workouts. The morning weigh is so I get used to seeing it stay the same or go up slightly. This tells me if I'm dehydrated (big drop in a day) or if maybe I ate too much salt the night before (big gain in a day). The before/after workout weigh in is so I can know about how much I…

Not another "clean eating" thread....jeez. "Clean" has no definition when it comes to food. Just stop it, people. If you want to eat unprocessed foods, that's great...but stop pretending like it's anything other than eating at a calorie deficit. *sigh*

Unsaturated fats (like those in olive oil, avocados, nuts and such) are considered "good" fats because those unsaturated carbon chains allow the molecules to be used by the body in aiding absorption of other chemicals (i.e. amino acids from protein, antioxidants from your dark greens, etc). "Bad" fats, which have saturated…

You seem awfully defensive of your logging habits, given that the people on this thread are just trying to help you. Unless you have already made up your mind to do this ketosis thing and don't actually want to hear a differing opinion...which is your right. I can't speak for whether or not a ketogenic diet will be good…

This is a misleading response. The "complete protein" theory is the theory that people need proteins that contain ALL the essential amino acids in one meal to reap benefits. This theory died in the 1970s as doctors realized that as long as we get all the amino acids that we need, it doesn't matter if we eat them together,…

Mothers! Oy! Mine once bought me a size 24W sweater for Christmas so that I could have something "that doesn't show your gut all the time" At the time, i was 5'7" and ~155 lbs and wore a size 10-12.

Runner here. I love seeing newbies on the streets and trails. It reminds me of when I was first starting out (I could barely run 1/4 of a mile my first time out and felt like I was going to DIE walking home afterwards. Now I run 10 miles at a time FOR FUN).) You just gotta remember that most of the cars/cyclists/other…

You cant gain muscle running especially 4 lbs of it in a short period of time, especially on a calorie deficit. And add in the fact that women only have the ability to gain 1-2 lbs of muscle a month, which requires weight training. You can't gain muscle running? That is blatantly false. OP may not have gained 4 pounds of…

Care to define "eating clean"? Because it has no basis in science whatsoever, has no technical definition (every person defines it how they want), and to be honest is completely idiotic. Just because something has a scary, multiple syllable name doesn't make it a "chemical" (newsflash, everything is a chemical...even…

"Clean" is the term people who know nothing about the science of food use when they are getting rid of highly processed foods. Generally, this means getting rid of junk (because that's what is processed) and that is why it works. In reality, though, there is no such thing as clean eating. The words "all natural" have no…
