  • I love to aperitive, and there are some healthy versions: My favorite: in stead of these small round toasts, you use a slice of cucumber, and pile it for example with smoked salmon and top it with a litlle bit of cream cheese; or you can stuff cherry tomatoes with shrimps, or you can take a toothpick and put some ham and…
  • Hi, http://www.budgetkoken.be/ the above is a website dedicated to recipes for 4 people, for maximum 10 euros (14 dollars)in total. With bing or other online translators, you can translate. There's a lot of good recipes to be found, and there is a healthy section as well. and I am sure that won't be the only website. As to…
  • Waw, I still don't understand everything of this, but maybe I should take better care of my body and stick to the healthy eating this time around. It does sound like a very intricate and therefore sensitive machine, and I better not feed it too much garbage anymore.
  • @ weight lifting: what does BRB mean? It's Friday night, and my brain refuses to even guess :)
  • I think it is realistic, but I have gotten scared of quick weight loss myself, as I have heard that your skin can't shrink as fast as you do, which will leave you with older-looking skin. I am getting to that age where my skin becomes quite important to me...
  • Annette, same here in Belgium, though they are predicting a cool-down again. We have a kind of heat that just sticks to you, and make you feel like doing nothing at all. - I just love a cold platter: all sorts of assorted cold meats, smoked herring, salmon-bellevue, cold vegetables, and boiled potatoes, that have cooled…
  • If you want inspiration for tasty and healthy budget meals, this website is dedicated to this: http://www.budgetkoken.be/. Meals for 4 people at EUR 10,- or less (today that is 13,46 USD). It is in Dutch though, but the online translators work quite well. I have three kids, and feed them the same style you do. I do not…
  • Hi Crystal, feel free to add me. My story is not too different from yours. I just realised that I started on a diet about 6 times in the last 12 months, and also fell off the wagon as many times. I did The Mental Diet Plan (only available in Dutch), slow version, and proteïn version, a couple of times, as well as the…
  • I get a bit scared after reading this topic. MPF calculated 1200 kcal for me, and it seems I eat about 1000 net daily (just started last Monday, do not know how long I will stick with it this time). I am ok with losing slowly, want to reach my goal in six months time, and after that maintaining it will be the real…
  • You might also be replacing fat with muscle. Have you measured yourself?
  • Hi, I am on this diet plan,(only available in Dutch) where they tell you to eat your breakfast within one hour of waking up. Anything later is the same as not having breakfast, your body is then already in hunger mode. In addition, they say that if your aim is to lose fat, the best time to excercise is before breakfast.…
  • Same story here in Belgium. I lost 20 pounds, and regained 25 and counting. I did good for about 6 months, but was caught off guard after the summer hollidays 2 years ago. More work, more meetings, 3 kids back to school.... My old habits were much easier to maintain than excercising and diet. So, to my shame, I had to…
