And congratulations!!!

Don't fall into the "eating for 2" mentality. When one is the size of a peanut, it doesn't need a steak all of its own. :laugh: You've been down this road before, so you know some of the weight gain is necessary and inevitable because there is amniotic fluid, the baby itself, the extra 1-2 liters of blood, and the water…

I've never found longterm success with any plan that consists of a precisely measured out and itemized menu. Before I lost weight, I tried the cabbage soup diet, the apple cider vinegar diet, the 3-day military diet, Xenadrine, Dexatrim, Lipozene, Alli, and any other quick fix I came across. I haven't heard of the rice…

Wouldn't it be easier, and more filling, to just eat a raw vegan diet for whatever time period the Kaeng Raeng cleanse is supposed to run? The ingredients list is pretty much my every day way of life, but I get to chew my food. One serving of Kaeng Raeng makes 24-32 fl oz and contains: (drink 3 per day) Only 200 calories!…

Only 4? :laugh: You'll be fine. I'm a raw vegan. Everything I eat is comes from a veggie or fruit. Not only has it not made me fat, it's done the opposite. Eating a diverse range of fresh veggies and fruits will give you a wide range of nutrients and as long as you stick closely to your macronutrient goals…

What she has selected is. I'm pretty sure nobody crammed a steak and deviled eggs into her pineapple tidbits bag or grilled her orange juice with a side of bacon. :laugh: You must have enjoyed yourself at the pub!

"Fortunately, it’s easy separate the good from the bad. We can reap the health benefits of good carbs by choosing carbohydrates full of fiber. These carbs that get absorbed slowly into our systems, avoiding spikes in blood sugar levels. Examples: whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and beans. We can minimize the health risk…

I drink it black, but if you like yours sweet and blonde, try using coconut milk instead of flavored creamer. It's more organic, naturally sweet, and creamy enough to turn it plenty blonde. It's also only 45 calories for 8 full ounces, so adding just a tablespoon will barely make a splash in your calorie column. If you…

The sugar max is unrealistically low in most cases. It's the first number I exceed. I don't even track it anymore. Exceeding sodium may lead to water retention giving you a false weight making you think you're not burning fat when you are. Focus on protein, fat and carbs, trying to keep carbs below the max, but feel free…

My suggestion is to start wearing pads every day once you begin taking Orlistat. It causes the oh-so-flattering side effect of "anal leakage." It will ruin your clothes.

A friend of mine loves baking cupcakes and decorating them in unique ways. She contracts with a local bakery to be the cupcake supplier. Maybe there's an opportunity like that for you if you can supply something they don't already sell to bring in more business. Here's one of her cakes.

Youtube has how-to videos you can watch to mimic at home.

No, don't do that. It throws off your macro by not logging carbs. The caloric value of the rice won't change whether it is dry or swollen with water from cooking. Try what FrancI27 said. 100g dry or 250g cooked.

I know it's hard to be on a restricted diet plan when you're the family cook. As it was explained to me, the human body has a difficult time distinguishing between the gluten protein molecule and thyroid. For those who happen to have a mild to moderate gluten intolerance, the body ramps up and goes on the attack when all…

http://www.scotland.com/forums/cuisine/29023-anybody-tried-these.html This Scottish forum cites 1,495 calories for a pizza crunch with chips, but doesn't source it to confirm. From what I found, it varies widely based on toppings and batter makeup. When it comes to food prepared by a restaurant, it's always a guessing game.

I can't see your diary, but typically when people complain of excess sodium they are eating: deli meat, cheese, pizza and other restaurant foods where you have no control over how it is made. And as someone mentioned above - processed foods will sneak in there without you even realizing it. Never, never pick up a salt…

Though bread isn't bad, I understand we all can have too much of a good thing. Is it overtaking your calories and leaving you deficient in other stuff, like protein and fat?
-
The equation I was using is so much more complicated and actually requires 3 different "pre-calculations" to come up with the numbers for the final calculation. I like your method much better! Plus, I just realized I haven't calculated mine since last summer when I was nearly 40% BF. I'm under my protein goal by more than…

What an odd question. Who wants old waste backed up in their colon for days on end? Now THAT is unhealthy. Those in optimal health should be relieving themselves three times a day, though for women sometimes it is less frequent. I can't remember why, it's been too many years since I learned that. If I were to eat bread,…

Did you go to the luncheon? I'm curious what he had to say. The only thing I can imagine based on his poster is that he's referring to visceral fat which is stored inside the abdomen rather than the jiggly pudge we get outside of the abdominal cavity (also known as the apple body type versus the pear). But he's got it so…

Since neither way has any impact on metabolism, it comes down to personal preference and any possible health conditions, such as insulin irregularities. If it is easier for you to control portion size and avoid binging by eating more frequently, then do so. Or if it's better for you to have that full feeling 3 times a day…

Great! I wish more places offered a website feature like that.

Wasabi seaweed snacks. They're paper thin and 30 cals per serving, but the hot wasabi cures my desire to keep snacking beyond where I should. I have to stop and let my mouth cool off.

Can you not order marmite online and have it shipped to Canada? I know you can find lots of sellers on eBay that ship to Canada. I've seen it listed individually for $10 or 3 jars for $20.

Just half? What do you do with the other half? I've always loved avocado and guacamole. When I was pregnant with my oldest daughter, my tastes suddenly shifted and I could smell guacamole from across the room at a restaurant and my stomach would turn. As soon as my daughter was born, I was back to craving it again. Only,…

I use this one by OXO, but I got it on sale for $20. http://www.target.com/p/oxo-softworks-food-scale/-/A-11144550?ref=tgt_adv_XSG10001&AFID=Google_PLA_df&LNM=%7C11144550&CPNG=Kitchen&kpid=11144550&LID=PA&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=11144550&gclid=CN_Tnc3GobwCFS7xOgodgEIADQ

Miracle Whip has more sugar in it, so it tastes sweeter than real mayo. My family is polarized on that particular debate. My dad loves the sweet Miracle Whip, my sister loves the lemony Helmann's real mayo. My girls don't like greek yogurt. They say it tastes too sour. They use plain yogurt, unflavored. They like to add a…

I've wondered about how height works into it, as well. It doesn't make sense a 5'2" and a 6'4" man should be on the same calorie restriction.
