Raw Celery, spinach, tofu, almond milk. For everything but spinach it's the flavor, but for spinach the texture drives me nuts, I don't like it ANY way. But I want to eat it.

Just because my energy level has gone up and I feel better doesn't mean its fixed. 60% is still better than 30% but that doesn't mean its 100%.

I feel much better since cutting the meat down, less tired, not as moody, losing fat and recovering from lifting quicker. I get most of my protine from plant sources.

The depression is being addressed, it could be it, but I'm also still low on energy, feeling worn out and exhaused a lot. Somedays my body just feels stiff and rigid, like a constant discomfort. I take a prenatal, plus an iron supplement since I'm borderline anemic. I make sure to avoid dairy and take something w vitamin c…

I dont put anything in my diary. It's hard for me to keep track of everything on paper/web log. I can keep track of all of it visually in my head and track my calories to myself throughout the day. I clock in under 2300 calories, MFP has me staying under 2500. Eating Properly means exsactly what everyone has always been…

I think I just over did it on one muscle. No DOMS ususally.

I'm in saint George as well. Just joined last month

Is that really all it is? Increasing the calorie deficit? o.O The plan my friend showed me had very little fat in it (like 1 egg yoke or 1/2 avacado a day). Is that part of it?

I go for anything with a lively beat or lyrics that give me the feels. Some of my favs: - Most Godsmack, mostly "Greed", "Black Magic", "Love-Hate-Sex-Pain" as examples. - Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, etc but there's a low chance you'd want those - Marilyn Manson, his songs with beats like "Beautiful People" and "this is…

I felt really bad about giggling at these responces. But I'm hoping I can be helpful. I also took about a year to lose 50lbs. But I also wasnt as dedicated as I should have been. It is unrealistic and very very unsafe to lose 50lbs that fast. So this is where I hope to be helpful. Just like in a research paper, if you run…

I actually ask specifically about nutrient dense* FOODS, primarily fruits and vegetables. I take a multivitamin, but I'm on SNAP for a reason, being I don't have a high enough income to go out and buy multivitamins to pop. Last I checked, multivitamins are not a food, nor covered by SNAP. I agree with Rocbola on the…

Whats considered a micro-green? Or even a micro-food? Alfalfa sprouts count? I adore those things.

I would recommend some muscle exercises. You burn more calories at rest when you're gaining muscle than you do when it's mostly fat. Walking helps a ton, but maybe add some planks and a few other body weight exercises.

I LOVE that term, "Noob Gains" this makes me happy : D

Mistraal, this could be true, because usually after a workout I'll go out without a jacket because it feels so good! I'll try this next week when I go to the gym, thank you!

I should have clarified, I did mean getitng colds or flus, not vomiting. I know about to vomit is overkill and will stop and immediately get food/water/cold air in my as soon as possible. In fact, I've never worked out so hard I've felt like vomiting. My HR is usually up in about 135, I was having it go up to 150, but that…

So far thank you everyone! It's all been really helpful. The more I think about it, the more I realize maybe it is that I'm overdoing it. I have a tendancy to really push it, and now that I keep up on my iron Im rarely feeling the payment for it. But it could very well be my immune system lowering because I push to hard.…

I honestly don't know how much I'm eating, I'm trying to make sure I don't get hungry, but with a toddler to look after it's rather hard to make sure I'm not shoving junk food into my mouth while she's awake. I usually end up getitng my first meal of the day when she goes down for her nap around noon. Unless I eat…

That's one possibility i was thinking, and I'm in a college town. I hardly ever meet a college student who is worried about stuff like that. I'm wondering if I'll seriously need to start doing a wipe down of everything before I use it and slather on hand sanatizer at the end. I've never had a huge issue with immunity like…
