Isnt that apron made of outstretched skin only?

oh yeah! pre-logging lets you know if you can eat more or less without going over your macros by accident. Cannot trust your eyes to judge what is the true amount.

I have an appt to see him next Monday (1 week). that will be 2 weeks without this. I did not realize mayo and some other condiments had that much sodium. and i ate a couple of higher sodium meals on those 2 or 3 days that i enjoyed eating out. it was the perfect storm of these things put together that i was not prepared…

someone said something that made sense. if you must have salt on food to make it palatable, then sprinkle it on the food just before you are about to eat it. that way you get the most taste. but if you add it while cooking you wont taste as much.. so the theory is that if you sprinkle a tiny bit just when you are about to…

wow about 80% of what i used to eat coz it was making me fat. im now trying to not use butter because i'd rather use the calories in something more filling. i chose to stop the fat food which is so delicious but that was too many calories, so i make my own food 90% of the time.

Thanks & am doing that! funny how i eat within my macros and then expect to see a loss on the scale and then oh no! it has gone up! but im going to continue to eat low cal and low sodium if possible. im guessing if i try for 1,000 mg a day that might be a good amount.

wait! i just re-read your post and you said i am losing weight underneath this, but the sodium is holding on to water??? i know some days i have been under my calories.. that is encouraging!! Didn't realize that till i re-read your post :)

Thank you.. I'm studying info on the internet, hope it is true (but cant hurt in this case if not necessarily so).. it says food high in potassium and/or water could have a diuretic affect like fruits and vegetables. so i bought some of these items today and i hope they will help. (cabbage, spinach, pommagranite juice that…

Thank you - i was doing so well and now this.. today i just went to the store looking at the sodium on labels. wanted to get cereal, too much! other things, bread even. so i passed it up, i might have to just eat fresh food and im going to try to make some kind of substitute mayo with Greek dressing. i hope it will help. i…

i know how it happened. i was trying the mostly plant based diet and i'd eat vegetables or salad and i added calories with the butter or mayo. so yeah i know thats my choice.. but like my oatmeal breakfast, i'd have it with nuts, and some half and half, and it totalled more than my 2 boiled egg whites. so im going to go…

I have a question - re sugar (regular white table sugar). I know its BAD bad bad bad, but if I eat one Teaspoon a day, it has only 4 calories, will it really hurt me? if that's all I eat in one day this 1 tsp of regular sugar. I mean that's not ALL I eat, but its like one item i'd like to enjoy. Some things just taste…

I saw it, plus a few other documentaries about veganism and plant based diet. On some message boards when people comment about people who choose to eat meat and dairy, there is like this intense hate and doom and gloom from the people who believe in the message from What the Health and such like that. however, in the past…

It's the kitten filter. Any profanity gets changed to kitten. [/quote] ah thank you!

Me. I went from Low carb high fat, which made me sick from the added fat after about 2 months. month 2 i lost no weight. now i have just decided that controlling calories IS WHAT WORKS. plus I am eating fruit and complex carbs and its doing well. i lose about 1-3 pounds a week. Not on purpose from starving,but i have a lot…

The vast majority of studies around meat are correlation studies and they typically ignore other aspects of diet and overall lifestyle. One can eat quite healthfully eating meat...the problem with the SAD is that it includes a lot of meat and very little veg and fruit...it's a *kitten* diet and that's what most of the…

He needs to donate more money into the joint account since he is eating way more than you.

Greek yogurt, banana, peach, chicken vegetable soup.

the only thing with eating whatever you want - when i eat 2 eggs in the morning, it fills me up more till lunchtime. when i eat a bowl of cold cereal with milk, i get hungry mid morning. so with some foods, i tend to be hungrier sooner, which will make me eat more, and then it will not be as good for me on my diet.

You have to find the way to eat the rest of your life. if you cannot sustain the low carb, then it is not for you. you can add in some carbs to see how it affects your body, if you really want to be cautious about it. Complex carbs are filling and give you needed nutrients. i do stay away from refined carbs like white…

"Cheat meal" or "cheat day" has a lot of mental implications and your attitude about food. some people feel like cheat meal means they will be able to survive a diet long term. to others, a cheat meal seems like a devil-inspired device to make one's diet collapse. it has emotional implications. To be avoided or looked…

did they used to make muffins with frosting on it? those were the best kind. or maybe i'm thinking of a cupcake. but i like a muffin if its soft and if it has stuff on top like sugar, or pecans or raisins. It has to have fun stuff on top, for some reason it needed that texture. i liked muffins with chunks of things in them…

Lettuce with a tiny drop of vinegar on it for a cheat treat. (just kidding!) today i chose to have food from my fave Mexican restaurant. Thats the closest to a cheat meal.. but i chose to refer to it as "i ate above my macros today"

Greek yogurt. Eggs. Handful of nuts. These are my three fave foods to make this way of eating wonderful and takes away my hunger between meals.

How about this - "I am going to have a cheat meal" should really say "I am going to go over my macros today" that way it wont make you want to give up or cause yourself too much stress when you choose to treat yourself.

i stumble on a what you would call a cheat meal by accident. I realize i ate more than i planned.. so i say heck with it, i overate a little, looks like i enjoyed more food today than i planned. And i dont worry about it, i just go on the next day trying again.

ok I understand :)

I think you may be missing the point of my post. I'm expressing an emotion that is neither scientific nor factually logical. My point is I'm so happy to be able to eat food that I like that I'm used to without having to go to foods that try to mimic food I like. I'm not here to debate the factual evidence of it, just…

Ok I wont argue that. I don't really know what's in vegan cheese, however, I use the word "fake" food as a generic term meaning things that are deviations from regular dairy cheese. But I also mean fake as in food processed to resemble real unprocessed food i.e. tempeh in order to substitute for a chunk of steak. its just…

Even if you have weight loss surgery, you still MUST eat a particular way or else you will get complications. you have to change your eating and the things that cause you to overeat, with or without surgery.

I believe I can do alright if I eat more fruit & veg etc, but not restrict myself to vegan. the little bit I really want is not that much. just Half and Half creamer, a little bit of meat, Greek yogurt, really. And no fake foods that try to imitate real food :) like vegan cheese or vegan yogurt. I know people say to force…
