Thanks everyone!

You love pizza, you love eating healthy, so why not both? Order pizza with your friends, have a slice or two and have a tossed salad with it.

Great work everyone! Mine was going out to eat last night at a buffet and not going crazy, and not overdoing it on the desserts as I tend to when I go there :smile:

^yes, that's exactly what I was thinking, too.

No more 5:2 No more restrictions No more DIET. If you want this to work, its all about finding something that works for you that you can stick with. You need to eat what you want, along with nutrient rich foods. Find healthy foods that you enjoy eating, but don't live off of just that; enjoy the foods you love. Enjoy the…

no...I'm sorry, I disagree. What did we all do when we were little? Sometimes, if we didn't get what we wanted, we cried, screamed, and became miserable. Sometimes we got our way, sometimes we didn't. What Im saying is, if you ignore too many cravings, you WILL be more inclined you binge. You can only hold out for so long.…

100 calorie pretzel packs are good and quick, and you can dip them in cream cheese! Or you could eat them plain. I also like to spread hummus on toast. Almonds are a pretty good go to as well, they usually keep me satisfied

French fries, sweet foods (usually), (sometimes) going out to eat Usually my biggest slip ups are on the weekend

Oreos. Birthday cake flavored oreos. Lots of oreos between yesterday and today

I buy a cheese called alpine lace, its a type of Swiss cheese that is a little lower in fat and calories per ounce when compared to a regular ounce of cheese. It tastes good on its own, so a good snack could be two slices, or you could melt a bit on toast (it melts perfectly)

Thank you! Everyone was very helpful :flowerforyou:

Or, if not that----how many calories for fat loss?

Somewhat simple, I'm thinking a grilled cheese of Alpine Lace on Ezekiel bread and some spinach. Maybe tomato bisque on the side!

My go to for sweet cravings during the day has been a flavored Greek yogurt with some granola. That doesn't mean I don't eat sweets altogether, though; I am a strong believer in dessert :happy: Bottom line : if it is chocolate you want, it is chocolate you shall have. Its easier to eat to satisfy the craving for a day…

thanks :smile: I went out twice yesterday. I did well with lunch, but when we went for dinner I felt I over ate just a bit. I think I will make it a point to be more aware of my cues while Im out

I'm sorry, I think you may have misunderstood. I make go choices and eat pretty well, I just tend to overeat when I go out sometimes

Thanks everyone! And happy -almost- birthday to your daughter :flowerforyou:

:drinker:

It's called "it could've been anything". Sometimes when you eat more after eating a very low amount of calories, it revs your metabolism. Sometimes a lot of calories, especially in good quality food can help to let your body release water retention. It happened once. Come back and tell us when it consistently occurs every…

Also, OP, I want to use this example: My boyfriend is roughly 5'9", and weighs around 145. He's about as un-vegan as you can get. He drinks milk, eats chicken and also bacon burgers, he likes brownies and pbj on WHITE bread. He wont put anything green near his face and the only "veggie" he gets is the tomato sauce on the…

where does the term "fat cat" come from...? My aunt's dog was severely over weight for her size. She had to put her dog on a regiment for eating.

It says I should get a minimum of 40 g/day, but I probably eat closer to 80 or 100 :ohwell: not good?

I'm a lacto-ovo vegetarian, though I do not eat eggs as they are. The only way I will eat eggs is if they are baked in a cake! Lol I do eat vegan at times, but I am not fully vegan. Haven't eaten beef or pork since I was 10 and haven't eaten turkey or chicken since I was about 12. Other than that, I never ate much meat…

While it may not be my place to say, OP, this is not the right way to eat for YOU. That doesn't mean that others shouldn't do keto or paleo or etc. My mom actually does quite well on a low carb diet, however, I do not. It all depends on the person.

thank you very much! Everyone has been very helpful :flowerforyou:

Yeah, usually I let her bring that stuff up. But I think it comes up because of me. Ill be there eating an orange with half a sandwich of a bit of Swiss cheese and as many veggies as I can cram into it with some honey mustard. I think she sees that as "good", but I'm not eating it because its "good food", I eat ut because…

thanks! I have explained the ED to her, she was one of the people who saw me at my lowest weight last year. I tell her how awful and miserable ED's are. I do let her know if something is a little triggering, and usually she understands

:smile: perhaps we work in the same place? Lol my coworker acts like she'll make an effort to follow the advice. I think maybe they don't like to hear how to do it because they don't feel like doing it that way or they don't think they can

:laugh: she does! Lol

thanks!
