Yup, I've made some stuff from Eat Yourself Skinny before. +1

Wait...this sounds great, but why? I'm assuming you don't want to lose weight. :) Are you all bodybuilders or something?

Hi! The breathing method I have used for several years now is in 3 beats through the nose, out 2 beats through the mouth. That way, you are 1) taking in lots of oxygen and 2) alternating which foot lands on which breath (inhaling or exhaling). It also helps you regulate your breathing so you don't breathe too fast. It…

I'm short: 5'1" and looking to lose about fifteen-twenty pounds. zomg it is SOOO hard. I eat mostly vegan/vegetarian as well (for example if there is a soup at a restaurant made with chicken broth but is otherwise free of animal products I might order that simply because it's easier than getting all worked up over the lack…

Thanks for replying! I suppose if I drank bucketfuls of coffee I could burn off about a quarter teaspoon of peanut butter. ;)

I LOL'd at that. Thanks for replying!

please?

Don't let it become an obsession, though. That's where eating disorders begin. (so my therapist says...)

That if you put a cookie in your yogurt the calories will leak out :) Actually that's my own myth. How about...raw milk is "healthier" than pasteurized milk because of the "enzymes"?

I completely understand. I'm a *very* small and short person, so when I was 105 I was just "pretty skinny", not emaciated. Now I'm 130. I think becoming a home pastry cook really undermined my desire to stay thin. :) Don't want to get down to 105, I think 115 would be the most weight loss I should do. Not a lot but it's…

And foods that are good and bad for depression? Shut up. I mean, just shut up. If only my impeccable diet could make me happy again. I basically subsist on vegetables yet I am still overweight and depressed. </rant>

Haha don't listen to those anti-grain people. I mean, I'm obviously biased (a baker who happens to have severe clinical depression), but there is simply not enough evidence to support such drastic claims as made by Grain Brain and similar books. There is anecdotal evidence and then there is rigorous scientific evidence.…

I am depressed as well (although not for nearly as long as you--about six months to a year), and I can vouch for the incredible effects of exercise. Running really makes me feel good after the fact, but it is near impossible to get going when one's mental state is down in the dumps. I have to lose some of the weight I've…

I eat salad. Something with lots of hot sauce. It wakes you up. I've never understood why our culture generally eats sugary foods early in the day, anyone know?
