I find that a protein snack if I'm hungry late at night helps. A couple of scrambled eggs in a non-stick skillet is easy, fast and filling (if you give it enough time to really hit before eating more) and is only 140 calories. Greek yoghurt also has a lot of protein If you need to nibble while studying, jerky is a great…

I haven't. Why have you? I have given my boyfriend a ** so he'll take me out for dinner. Have I answered your question? If it's TMI, then perhaps you ought to think before you type.

Nonsense, nobody makes the decision to be horribly obese without food addiction problems. Like it's the "drug of choice" instead of crack or meth, and with those you can at least quit cold turkey. Not to mention that there are physiological reactions to certain foods. Like chocolate stimulates the same areas of the brain…

I seem to lose 2 lbs per week, then gain a pound or stay the same the next week, then lose 2 lbs the week after. It's really frustrating. The only way I can ensure that I will lose weight during a particular week is to exercise every day, enter my exercise at the end of the day, and stick to 1400 cal/day or under all week.…

I dunno, but it didn't sound to me like anybody was trying to use Hashimoto's as an excuse for being overweight.... My dad had Hashimoto's for about 5 years, and took drug therapy for it (sorry, I don't know which one). After about 5 years he started to experience occasional "aura" migraines. Went to the Dr about them, and…

After a night of drinking (added to my journal of course) I find I'm usually lighter, probably because of dehydration? Its deceptive though because drinking is a lot of calories. I've also heard that drunk people eat more than they would otherwise. I believe it cuz I've done it too many times. So you drink a million…

I recently heard on the news that you have to drink between 6 to 8 cups per day to achieve the benefits that green tea can give you. Many of the studies have been run using Japanese who drink 6 cups or more per day. I've been drinking between 6 and 8 cups/day. I use a big mug that holds 500 ml, so I actually only have to…

Green tea usually has about half the caffeine of black tea, but if you find you're getting too much caffeine, there are lots of brands of de-caf available (Celestial Seasonings has some tasty ones). Apparently the amount of caffeine depends on the brand you use too. Here's the link that rates the different brands:…

Perhaps I should post this in recipes? Ah well. There are 2 tricks to brewing the perfect cup of green tea. 1) You must NOT use boiling water because it burns the leaves. It's GREEN tea because it has not been cured the way black tea is. Since it's "fresh" its more delicate than your ordinary black or herbal tea. The…

I'm a big fan of green tea. There was a point where I was drinking a couple of liters of it a day and I definitely saw the results in my blood work, although now I can't remember if it helped me lose weight or not. But count me in. I buy the Kirkland Sencha tea bags from Costco. There are different TYPES of green tea,…
