This is true. It seems common sense flies out the window online too. Oh well, some of the posts on craigslist are hilarious to watch people go off on a topic about nothing.

Thank you, it just irks me, and its one of those irks that sticks with you.

Why did I not post the rant on Craigslist, or the question? I posted the Doberman question. And am thinking about posting the rant, however all it will do is send people off on their own tangents and name calling and Im not sure I want to deal with that.

Not at all. I just don't like when someone gets it in their mind that they know everything about me and who am I and my life story. Its uncalled for, and not needed especially for something as simple as have you every seen a black & tan Doberman with blue eyes?

it relates to MFP, If Im upset or stressed it effects my eating habits. Venting helps prevent that.....lol. That's also why I posted it in the chit-chat section.

They are probably also referring to the different flavors. Atlanta is home to the world of coke and many restaurants have several other coke flavors since they are easy to get in that town.

I usually just ignore it, or if its something that I know is wrong (like some diet advice the is horribly wrong-I'm a dietitian) I correct them. As for eggs, I eat the full egg. There is nothing wrong with it unless you have heart disease and your cardiologist has recommended to limit your cholesterol in your diet.

Like everyone on here has stated your daughter is at a perfect weight for her height and should just maintain at this point. If she feels she is still overweight and that she needs to lose more weight I would have her screened for an eating disorder. This is very common at the 18-19 year old age. Losing more weight would…

Coffee does not really help or hinder weight loss. HOWEVER, everyone is different. Now if you are referring to the Dr. Oz touted Green Coffee Bean supplement-no its a waste of money. Caffeine can also dehydrate you, so you have to be sure to drink plenty or water to rehydrate throughout the day too.

I see how that statement can be confusing. I was referring to the reasons we recommend to avoid lunch meats. Its more from the sodium than fat, so if you are going to chose a lunch meat go for a lean lunch meat, but watch your sodium intake if that is a concern. I'm not opposed to eating fat per se. Many saturated fats are…

Unless you are using the stevia plant, the drops and other stevia products fall under artificial sweeteners. The only way to use completely all natural sweeteners is to buy a stevia plant, buy the plant they use for agave-which is just a type of honey and can cause high blood sugars too depending on the person-or have your…

Thank you very much. I try to stay informed on things that both pertain to my profession as well as my personal heath being a type 1 diabetic.

You can ask any Dietitian and they will neither recommend it or tell you do not eat it. it is a personal choice, however if you actually do your research you will see that the more processed foods and as the years have gone on overweight and obesity rates have climbed, thus causing more disease processes to show up in…

That can happen as we age our bodies change. That's why as a kid you may have no food allergies then as an adult you start to notice reactions to certain foods. I myself cannot eat sugar free chocolate-it gives me a horrible migraine within an hour that nothing will touch. If you are ever looking to avoid sugar, you may…

Avoiding the unhealthy fats in meats is why you go with lean meats. Many meats are naturally high in saturated fats so as a Dietitian we recommend to go with lean cuts, trimming fat off meat, and healthier ways of prepping and cooking it for weight loss. Lunch meats or ok to eat because they are usually higher in sodium…

I'm sure this was covered somewhere in the thread, but I just don't have the time to read all the replies. As a dietitian I would like to say that 1200 calories a day is not starvation. Below that yes, but 1200 calories is perfect for SOME people, not all. As for your recommendations: -Start every day with an 8oz. glass of…

You put a number in wrong when you filled out your information. Go back and recheck it all. Right now your tracker shows you have lost over 1000 pounds! Are you entering kg where it should be pounds or vis versa? Is height in the right measurement, inches versus cm or meters. Recheck your numbers they are off somewhere!

Creole Black Bean & Sausage. Its a BHG slow cooker recipe and is DELICIOUS!!! The sausage melts in your mouth

I'm a type 1 diabetic so I use sweeteners in my coffee and I drink Diet soda. I'm also a Dietitian. Most of the research that had come out in the past about linking sweeteners to cancer are not viable for the general population. The amount of the straight chemicals from the sweeteners into itty bitty mice/rats are pretty…

This ^^ statement alone should clue you in. Dietitians NEVER recommend below 1200 calories because it puts your body into starvation mode. The danger with this is that you lose water weight, and then you will lose muscle mass instead of fat. Your body will hold onto the fat and burn the protein. This causes a build up of…

I am the same, Minimed and Desatronic. I went on the pump in 2000, Minimed. I've been with them ever since. The new version is quite nice, really like the bolus reminder feature. My Doc likes the newer reports it gives too. I had not even heard of the T:slim until looking at this forum, I'm going to have do a little…

But DC is located in the state of Maryland (though we consider it its own area) so it is included in there.

The trick with yogurts it to buy plain yogurt and use a jam or jelly to flavor it. You can also by the light version which has about 1/4 of the sugar that regular yogurt has. I always recommend the adding jam/jelly instead just because its a lot less sugar and gives you a few more options.

For all those touting the pull out method, you do know that pre-cum...the stuff that you are putting in the girl before your pull out and full on "explosion", does carry sperm and can cause pregnancy right?

I did the mini-pill for a while as well, and had random periods. I wound up having one about every 2 weeks, and was miserable. I use the nuva-ring now and have not had a single issue with it. I've also used the patches before and didn't have any trouble with them either-I only switched off them because I'm a type 1…

Looks like we have California, Oregon, Oklahoma and South Carolina going. Awesome job guys! I'm going to set mine for Montana since that's the state I live in. Montana: 546 miles....lets see how long this takes me!

This was filmed close to my home town in Oregon. they filmed it at Timberline Lodge on Mount Hood and I grew up about 45-60 minutes away.

Fasting is not a healthy way to start a diet: Fasting The Premise: Fasting is a popular method to start a weight loss program and is thought to clean out toxic wastes from our body. Fasting is also thought to rejuvenate and revitalize our systems by "burning-up" old and worn out tissues. The Truth: Fasting can be dangerous…

Thanks for the adds guys. I will try to post fairly regular blogs with diet tips and information, so keep an eye on those. if you ever want me to review your intake just let me know and I can take a look at your food diary (as long as its visible) and give you any tips or pointers that I may see for adjusting your diet.…

Most juices will have added sugars, which is why we (dietitians) only recommend 4 ounces a day if you are going to drink juice. Be sure it is 100% fruit juice as well. Paying attention to food labels will help you to reduce your added sugar intake. Natural sugars from fruits and vegetables are perfectly healthy and ok to…
