Patate insalata! Yes!

The chemistry isn't right for that. It's lacking in protein and fats, and although you can make jello with skim milk, even that's a bit runnier. I've heard you can make jello pudding with coconut milk or hemp milk if you add a scoop of protein powder or something, but I'm not a big enough fan to try that one. I use almond,…

The ultimatum will almost guarantee a crash diet and regain. It needs to be an honest life investment in self, or it won't stick. He doesn't seem to genuinely enjoy exercise if his hobbies are mostly sedentary. He won't have the momentum to maintain if it's a scare tactic ploy to change him. It all sounds so…

His body, his choice. If he doesn't like being active or depriving himself, he's not obligated to do that. Ever. If he asks for help and support, go for it, but don't invite yourself in to "save" him. He knows he's fat. Shaming him for it won't help anything. Don't bring it up unless he does.

5'4.5" I'm honestly happy with my body where it is now at about 140. Although, in order to apply for my target dance troupe, I will aim for about 115 to meet their aesthetic standards. That would put me at a BMI of about 19, which doesn't seem too low or too high to maintain. I'm not in any hurry, though.

No. There is no panacea to weightloss, otherwise everyone struggling would just take that pill and have greater success. It would make international headlines if it were true, not just scammy internet articles and scare-tactic "doctor's" recommendations on daytime television. The lowdown is omega 3 fatty acids are…

I went to buy liquor and the cashier saw my ID and was like "nah. ***lbs? Really? No way!" and then I remembered: 1.) I had lied about my weight to feel thinner at the time I got my driver's license and 2.) This was the first time I was questioned not because someone suspected I weigh more, but because I appeared as though…

I date people the same age (ish) as me. I've found I only want to be in a romantic relationship with someone who's in the same place in life as me. Give or take a couple years, but I personally don't mesh well with much older or younger individuals on that level. I've gotten way too creeped out by older (romantic)…

Yup. I barely ate anything at all yesterday (I got called in for a 12-hr shift and the cafe was closed... so... accidentally fasted. Oops.) and all I had to eat today are cookies. I don't recommend these particular habits, but life happens. This kind of wonky eating has been happening for me on and off since my work…

I'm honestly not dairy-free, but I do enjoy certain dairy alternatives as a part of my diet. My vegan friends have introduced me to Cashew cheese, which is freaking amazing on pizzas or salads. I'm not a fan of nutritional yeast, but I'd take a nicely cultured cashew cheese over many dairy cheeses any day. I'm trying to…

What? Don't food police someone who has already expressed a general boredom with water. Also, alkalizing water has health benefits over tap water, it is especially crucial for immune system and eliminating free radicals. You don't need to drink "gallons of water a day." If anything, drink too much water can actually hurt…

Here! I started with these as a reference guide, infused alkaline water recipes: http://www.energiseforlife.com/wordpress/2013/05/16/make-alkaline-water-delicious/

Infuse it! Lemon and cucumber, pineapple and coconut, melon and mint. I bought a set of infuser pitchers at Costco, and I carry a water bottle wth me everywhere I go. You can also eat water-rich foods, like jello, celery, watermelon... that all counts, too.

I haven't been with a partner who has wanted to do it, but I wouldn't mind allowing them other sexual partners under an agreed set of rules. I realize as an asexual I won't be able to meet the needs of some partners if I'm in a "mixed relationship" (between a sexual and an asexual party). All of my romantic partners to…

I would look locally. The best place to start is to ask someone in need about their experiences. Get personal. I volunteer and donate to P:ear, a resource center for homeless youth which grants them use of their supplies and studio to make and sell art. They also do job training and run a barista school, help encourage and…

Cheat days? You mean eat day? That's like, everyday. Sometimes you go over goal. Sometimes under. If you're working to lose weight, just keep things in check on a weekly basis and it's all good. It seems like an unhealthy relationship with food to put a moral label on it as such imo.

Yes! Camel is the best recommendation. It strengthens the back and core, but you can use your arms to alleviate pressure while building strength. You can make the bend/stretch deeper over time by sliding your arms up towards your calves, or by walking your hands away from your body further behind you.…

Health is relative to function, not statistics. The numbers given are general guidelines and there will always be outliers and exceptions. Don't ask strangers, ask your doctor. If you feel fine, are functioning normally, and eating/moderately exercising regularly without strange side effects, you're probably fine.

Skillet ratatouille over quinoa instead of rice/pasta. One cup of the vegetables/tomato sauce is about 200-250 calories, as long as you don't go overboard on the oil. a light brush or drizzle of olive oil won't top 300 calories per one cup serving. Then quinoa, about 222 calories per cup. Since the recipe is vegetarian,…

Yup. Oregonian here, and Seasonal Anxiety Disorder is a real thing. I take vitamin D 9 months out of the year to help keep my mood more stable and it helps.

Ragnarok legacy, probably. I was an endgame mithra corsair on FFXI and interpreted between German, Japanese, and English for my linkshell members. I tried starting up on FFXIV several times but the updates kept changing things, I couldn't get into it. Then I fell on hard times financially. I'm going to start up again now…
-
Yes, but I have a spotter who I know can help me out if I start to fail. I wouldn't do it alone without a rack.

FFXIV! What server do you play on?

My dad wouldn't let me buy an American bike... I'm using his Miyata right now, but I'm building a touring bike. Budget absolutely matters. My bike is going to cost me more than my car did, but I'm hoping if I invest correctly, I can keep the bike for life whereas my car will inevitably be replaced. I'm getting a custom…
-
Yes! If I'm out for more than an hour on a run or difficult bike trail, I bring honey sticks or raisins and water to keep me fueled. Sometimes for biking, a mason jar of chia fresca in my bike bags. It really is a quick fix. Powerhouse in a tiny package.

Once a week on Wednesday morning. Wednesday is the first day of my 3 day "weekend," so it's good to check in and remind myself not to get bored and veg out and instead use my time more productively.

I lost most of my weight while working graves. Your body doesn't care what time of day it is.

It depends heavily on your genes. Every body will react differently. I happen to have a blood disorder which makes me anemic (I struggle to absorb protein, iron, calcium, etc) and keeps my BP hypotensive and cholesterol good. I also have diabetes. Absolutely, ketogenic/low carb has been vital- for me. It may not be good…

Short bursts of exercise. Some days I'll log 50 minutes of cardio, which I did, but the truth is that I walked or ran or danced, Pilates, whatever, only in 5-10 minute intervals at a time throughout the day. As long as it gets your heart rate up, you're building cardio endurance and revving your metabolism. Until you can…
