Some of my best work outs are cookie-fueled...but yeah, in because your question intrigues me also

I'm sorry, but this is just a website. If you're going to let a message from a website -an automated, generic message that we all get when eating too few calories- discourage you, then I'm not sure this is the website for you. The message is to ensure the safety of MFP users. It doesn't mean they're on your tail. Eat…

Peeps used to be the bomb when I was little. Now I cannot understand how I ate them. Putting them in the microwave is about all I wanna do with them anymore

Hey thanks ;)

Actually, it is I, the Dayman, Fighter of the Nightman, Champion of the Sun

Lol I just realized that my default pic is not actually of me...so I lose

Some kind of trainer

He based his decision on the fact that he finished his half of hoagie faster than I did :(

Give it a try ;) Why not, right? I just love sweet and salty foods so I figured bacon would make a good topping. I mean, people top ice cream with various nuts, coconut, sprinkles...why not bacon?

I got a chunk of a chocolate frosted donut with my lunch today because my SO decided he deserved the rest :(

Definitely raspberry sauce. Or better yet, caramel. Makes for a nice sweet-savory-sweet combo

I think you're right. I didn't consider those who have different types of problems such as hypoglycemia. Sorry for my ignorance :(

Same^ Well, actually, similar^ I once gave up most sweet foods for Lent about two years ago and did well at abstaining from it, just to see if I could, really. I felt zero difference in my day to day moods, cravings, overall physical feeling, etc. So I'm calling placebo effect on the people that claim the feel immaculate…

A lady once described the procedure on a thread where the OP asked what to do with all these donuts she brought because she was afraid of eating them all. The lady told OP to take the donuts and bury them in her yard so she would be physically unable to eat them. Well, you see, what the lady did not realize is that once…

Yep :)

This is true, as I am also illegally growing and harvesting donut trees in my backyard. It's all supply and demand, yaknow?

If sugar is the devil then I guess I'm working for the devil. I work in a bakery. In seriousness, if you crave sugar maybe you should...have sugar? I don't think deprivation is a good thing and it may set you up for future failure. I think the intense cravings you're describing will stop when you allow yourself sugar each…

Also, your foot, OP ;)

Eggs, Shamrock shakes, milk, blue cheese, and mayo are some foods that come to mind that make me want to gag.There's many more that I just can't think of right now

I understand this completely and now I'm glad I have a word to call it :) I like what others have said here. I guess what helped my mom lose that mentality was replacing it with the "Just do it" nike mentality. By that, I mean why what until tomorrow to start? Start now. Start with your next meal. It does not mean…

Likewise, except mine says I can weigh 79 lbs. I understand I'm short, but I literally did look like death when I weighed so little

I mean, there are low calorie bagel thins, and Mrs. Thinster's cookies are only 150 calories for five of them, but I don't pay much mind to what's considered "healthy" by traditional standards. I'd rather have the real bagel or pick whichever cookies I want, not just eat those products because they're low in calories. I…

Hi! Feel free to add me, I eat carbs and sugar quite often, everyday actually :) I have some pretty good dessert recipes if you want some :)

You've got this! Feel free to add me

Keep up the god work :)

Can you open your diary so we can see your intake? If you're truly eating 500 calories then you're eating far too few. Your height, weight and goals could also help to determine how many calories you need to eat, but next to no one should be eating 500 calories.

Sorry, but I second the "tuna juice thing is pretty gross" motion. I guess my weird thing is eating powdered foods (cake mix, hot chocolate mix, ovaltine, etc) with a spoon from time to time. I guess people might argue and say that's weird.

I am 4'9 and can lose weight on 1300 calories worth of all foods. You realize that by eating your "normal" range of 1000-1200, you're creating a very large calorie deficit, right? Which will contribute to weight loss. I'd bet if you ate 500 calories over maintenance, yet stayed within carb limits, you'd gain weight.

Old Bay! Or maybe Lemon Pepper?

But wouldn't low carb still imply low calorie? My point of the meat and cheese lady is that she didn't lose much because while she was eating low carb, she wasn't maintaining a good deficit because she was just eating all the meat and cheese she wanted, sometimes overeating, just because it's "low carb" and therefore would…
