  • A friend of mine follows a high protein diet and she adds protein powder to many meals cos she doesn't like the shakes alone. She puts it in porridge, bircher muesli ( along with Greek yogurt) and makes this pudding by putting cottage cheese and protein powder in a blender, then adding a packet of diet jelly (made up with…

  • I'm getting the feeling that 1200 cal a day goal is bad news, but my goal by MFP is only 1230. Do you guys set your own calorie goal or what? I would love to eat more, and weigh less!!

  • I wish I could keep the too tempting foods out of my reach. But what's at home is the least of my worries.

  • Thanks. I guess I needed this hard truth, because what you described is how I've been already for years and years-yo yo dieting, gaining it back, and you're right, it gets harder every time, not to mention I'm sick of starting from the beginning over and over.
