Love it! Great link!

Get some water and a straw. Also cut up some crunchy veggies like carrot sticks, cucumber, bell pepper, fennel, apple, pears.

Agreed kick those refined sugars to the curb. I am 2 months away from being a certified nutritionist - just so you know where these tips are coming from, I do actually know that this is credible information, rather than heresay. Maple syrup, honey, cane sugar sucanant are all much better alternatives. But don't be mislead…

HCG is a fad diet like everything else. Do you plan to only ever eat 500 calories a day for the rest of your life. You are without any doubt starving your body. Lose the weight and feel amazing, however don't ever think about eating 'normally' or healthfuly again, because you will gain weight back, why? Becuse after…

Healthy snacks vs low calorie snacks, because you have only gotten low calorie snacks as suckers and twizzlers are not healthy, rather seen only as lower in calories. Yes veggies are a great healthy snack. I say keep on with the veggie, just switch them up, get creative. If carrot sticks are getting old, slice up some…

We need to stop thinking that healthy sources of fats (Coconut oil, flax, avocados etc) are going to make us fat. our bodies and our bodies cells need fat to stay healthy. Those fats are used to keep our cells lubricated and mobile. To make this more visual, think of our blood cells. If they aren't fluid they clump…

Wait why has noone asked why you are trying to lose 2+ lbs a week when you are 5'11 and 153lbs. that seems like a good weight range for your height.

No i hadn't thanks Catrina!

I like to incorporate a lot of vegan/vegetarian meals into my diet. I still eat small quatities of fish & cheese, and I use butter, as I feel it is much healthier than processed chemicals (aka margarine and sadly earth balance). I'm not judgemental when it comes to other peoples food choices, rather the opposite. I am 3…

Ah! Ok, I get the whole salmon too but when I buy it i slice it into individual servings and freeze or refridgerate the rest for another day.

You're right your body does still burn calories, however at a significantly slower rate as your metabolism slows down at night. Even if we are used to the night shift, our metabolism doesn't change. It will stil slow down and not burn the food you've eaten later at night than if it would had you eaten earlier in the day.

I'm 3 months away from finishing school to become a Holistic Nutritionist. Just so you have a better idea where this info is coming from. About 3 hours after sunseet, our metabolism naturally slows down. Our bodies work in circadian rhythm. Have you ever eaten late at night just before bed, and then woken up feeling…

25-30 mins! Oh man. 8 minutes under the highest temp on broil. Sprinkle of sea sald, dried dill, lemon. 4 minutes one side. flip, 4 minutes the other side. Voila!

BUMP!

Salads are a great way to fill up if done right. 2 cups of spinach is only like 41 cals. Load that up with some chicken breast or some salmon cucumber, nuts and seeds, you have a great protein filled salad that will keep you full. Remember dressings can add a bundle of cals if they are creamy. Stick with balsamics.

If you signed up and did some aerobics classes at the gym and they told you if you didn't eat what they told you to then it wouldn't work would you believe them?! No, stick to what you know, what you are comfortable with, and what you know works for you. Remember P90X isn't a magical secret, it's still a workout. Give it a…

Sure you can lose a lot of wate weigh by reducing your soidum intake. The question is, is are you going to be able to maintain a sodium intake of 1500 on a regular basis? I am in around there on my sodium intake, but for me I eat a lot of fresh whole foods that aren't packaged (sauces, beans, soups tv dinner and restaurant…

Dark rich coloured, esp dark leafy greens, are actually a better source of calcium for your body than diary products. This is because to digest the proteins in dairy and meat, your body leaches calcium from your bones to help the digestion, thus decreasing your body's calcium levels. The dark leafy greens don't do this,…

I'm going to message you privately.

allow for a day where you are over. if you have a dinner thats 350-400 calories, those extra 300 calories aren't going to sink your ship. Don't be so scared of the calorie counts. Just as long as tomorrow you are more on track.

Ok, so some examples I'm talking about say for LEFT OVERS: Stir fry, Curry (if you like and are also kitchen savy/a foodie), pasta dishes (with whole grain or whole wheat pasta - ps i can send you some healthier alfredo sauce alternatives). Another suggestion if you are having say a meat & potatoes type meal, just make…

For long term realistic real life every day eating that is.

I'd love to see some mid morning and mid day snacks in there. That will not only help you with your energy levels through the day, but also will satiate you leaving less opportunities for you to get starvin' marvin' and create the potential for binging.

1. Start off slow. Don't kill yourself by pushing too hard, because I'm sure we can all say that we've all felt it, you'll be sore. You'll have such a hard time moving the next day if you push too hard on day or even week 1 that you might not get your 3 work outs in. 2. Figure out for yourself what you like to do. Do you…

Your body has to work harder to be able to absorb the water to hydrate your cells when it is cold. This is where people say that drinking cold water makes you burn more calories. This is because for your body to absorb and use the the water in your body, your body has to heat it up to body temperature. Ice cold water…

OMG sweetie. That is such a dangerous game to play. Not only is this dangerous disordered behaviour, but you also risk causing life long damaging effects to your body if this is something you do, and get addicted to. You run the risk of completely losing all muscle control of your bowels, which means embarassing bowel…
