I agree. BUT, eating 1200 calories of crapfood makes you feel like crap. Eating 1200 calories of paleo makes you feel like a unicorn! Freaking amazing!

I have felt the best I have ever felt eating paleo and doing crossfit. Been at it for 3 years and will never look back

Since when can't you eat fruit on Paleo?

Holy cow man! Thanks!

LMAO! I agree:laugh:

Cellucor Whey Peanut butter marshmallow? Sounds awesome - how many carbs are in that? Calories? My trainer told me to use GNC Weybolic extreme 60. Be careful if you are female too. Some of those shakes can be very estrogenic if they have too much dairy. We don't want our hormones any messier than they already are :) While…

wow, lots of bumps - I came here to get recipes, but looks like I'll just share my faves: Sweet potato hash: saute diced sweet potatos, onions and red onion in cocunut oil for a side dish Lunch: scoop out a large tomato and stuff with tuna mixed with 2tbs homemade paleo mayo (or use the helmans with olive oil if you are…

lmao! This thread is so weird that I had to post something!

lol - agreed

This post just made my day...lol :bigsmile:

It is a way to type something so that it goes in "my topics" That way you can come back and see the answer later. I had to ask that once too.

I say "eat the exercise calories". Being able to eat more is motivation to exercise in itself!

Oh great, I just bought 5 heads of broccoli b/c of a good price. I suppose that as a side with my chili tonight is a bad plan? lol

I dont' count cucumbers or celery...it is too redicuously low. By the time you walk to your computer, sit down, and log it, then stand back up you have already burnt it off. Fruit...absolutely!

Just curious, do you have kids and work fulltime?

Of course I knew you would respond to this. I have to get myself a squash. I bet they are pricey this time of year!

Go with how you feel! Everyone is different. If you are tired and have no energy while eating 1200 and burning 500, you need more food! If you feel great, have a ton of energy and are losing, there is no need to eat them. Your body will tell you if you are in starvation...you will feel like sh$t! AND be hungry. Oh, and if…

I have never been able to find a year full of motivation! Good for you!

Did you ever get the hungry girl cookbook?That sounds very similar to the hungry girl apple pie oatmeal! I have to try it with the syrup though...yum!

beer and chicken wings...especially bonesless asian zing or parmesan garlic wings from buffalo wild wings...pizza is a close second

I found something out that shocked me! If you take Tylenol/Acetamenophen even one time, it will make you hold on to a few pounds of water! Crazy, I know! I don't know if you have taken it, but just a little fyi to stick in your back pocket for the future if not. Also, if you did a crazy amount of exercise yesterday or the…

wow! your face and back especially looking different!

LMAO!!!!!

You do look great....if you don't mind me asking, what is your height and weight currently? I am still searching for a goal

wow, leomom72, did you just follow the 1200 calories or do something different?

That is great! How did you keep the motivation to keep going? I started at 190, got down to 165 and lost steam. I have gained 8 back and I want that energy back!

Well, if you want a woman's point of view....I think you should NOT focus on a lot more muscle. Too much is gawdy and fake. You look great! I would focus on cardio to cut a little or do nothing b/c you look great just the way you are :)

Definately greek yogurt, muscle milk, string cheese....make a bunch of chicken breasts on the grill on sunday to throw in wraps,etc for a few days during the week. I like the la tortilla factory tortillas too. they have a ton of protein in them. I also ALWAYS keep a protein bar in my purse in case I am hungry on the road.

I have found that if I HAVE to eat that the only thing that wont bother me is a traditional Power Bar. They are like a giant laffy taffy of nutrition, but I don't burp them up, etc. My neighbor who I run with eats a half bagel with peanut butter....I tried it and burped up peanut butter for 5 miles. Try both and see what…

It is before adding the water.
