  • i would add olive oil, salt and low fat ricotta and call it a fake mashed potatoes. use it as a side. you can make a stew: saute chopped onion, add cauliflower small pieces, cubed tomatoes, add more tomato juice and water. when cooked, add salt, pepper and chopped fresh dill. if you want the version with meat, add chicken…
  • forgot : Dill :p

  • yes, you count that too. these are good fats. olive oil is not good for frying.
  • I use google translator and look for zucchini recipes in Italian. It is a staple in their dishes. The last recipe I have done was zucchini and cheese in the oven.

  • Look info about the Montignac diet. That is based on GI. I have lost two times 60lbs with that diet but I remembered I kept it 100%, no errors. Low GI is good when you do not exercise. At some point I was tired of Monti diet, so I switched on counting calories.
  • i would not go that far and freeze tomatoes..... and yes, fresh garlic is better good recipe
  • eggplant salad: buy about 4 eggplants, make sure are more long than round so it can be cooked inside too. place eggplants on direct flame (grill or stove). once the peel becomes flaky and burned turn them until are cooked on all sides, up and down. as soon as one is done, carefully peel burned skin. let them dry/drain on a…
  • i would either go big or go home: either log everything to the smallest detail (including "but then, there is the desert), or don't log anything.
  • same here. two pregnancies where i have gained and lost 60lbs each time. before pregnancies i was a C cup, both pregnancies left me with E cup. On this weight loss I started with 44E and now I think I am 38F...still F.....
  • skinnytaste.com should be a good resource
  • i usually don't unless i am "forced" such as "going on an all inclusive resort".... other than that i don't take breaks, for me it is hard to get back on track.

  • How about some cooking classes to start with? Then after you would build some confidence you start watching youtube, websites....etc... Good luck !!! I am glad i see people cooking and making a big deal out of it :flowerforyou:

  • I guess it depends on your digestive system. if it is slow, then eat as early as you can so you can give time to the digestive system to do its job. It is also depends on what you eat, i.e. meat digests slower (5 hrs or so I was told...), veggies faster..... Bafta !
  • i guess you are not eating enough and your body is in the starving mode, however the responses above are more appropriate, seek professional help.
  • olive oil is good fat, usually i do not avoid that. Use oil spray (I would buy a spray that you can refill with your favorite oil brand) and look for a Tefal. http://www.tefal.com/en/Cooking-appliances/Fryers/ActiFry/ActiFry-PLUS/p/1500634807
  • Gallstones (if this is the case) is not something to "play with". Please do your research on the internet, look for "gallstones left untreated risks". good luck
  • olive oil and lemon juice.
  • "The scale is moving slowly but surely. I'd like to see it move more quickly, and keep saying I'm going to change my habit of enjoying a couple of glasses of wine in the evening. " - you said. We recently had an HSE moment at work where topic was about food to avoid before going to bed. Here is what they are saying about…
  • Maybe it is time for a reevaluation of your priorities: to enjoy two glasses of wine for 2 hours or give up on that and feel good all the time. On the other hand you can work out to make it up for as much wine as you wish. I cannot tell "yes, you can drink" or "forget about it". It is about your age, your weight, your…
  • Yes, spend one day cooking and if you have any surplus put it in the freezer. NO to any kind of frozen cooked meals from the grocery stores due to unhealthy and unnecessary ingredients. Experiment different kind of dishes, there might be some you love to cook more than others. Take cooking classes, regardless what you are…
  • and what kind of bread would be acceptable? so far everyone messed up with the inside only. I just had chapatti and Roquefort and I don't know if I am ...qualified.
  • you can exercise and eat your calories back as someone said before. spend your calories more wise. you can do it !!! get meal examples from this forum.
  • find a friend at school that has the same goal as you. reward yourself from time to time with a special treat: a new ring, a manicure....etc... if you eat a cookie that will make you feel good for 5 minutes. if you do not eat a cookie that will make you feel good FOR EVER another option would be to calculate your daily…
  • I guess it is everyone's right to be informed and/or educated about nutritional info starting with fast foods,ending with fine restaurants.
  • Hey nutella by the spoon (love your nick!!!), I was thinking of you while translating these recipes http://blog.giallozafferano.it/ricetteditina/coppette-allo-yogurt-e-nutella/ Sorry for being off topic but this lady was worth mentioning, as she really has a passion for cooking and for nutella.....and as for your recipe I…

I was sooo mad for the total price, therefore I decided to spend 400 for 3 months unlimited membership to spin classes and invested 100 in a…
