  • I like brutal honesty, and I like this. The fact is, you don't look morbidly obese, but "carrying weight well" doesn't do your heart any favors. If you lose the 40 pounds, you will live longer, feel better, and look better too. Did I mention live longer? I'm one of those so-called "lucky" people that carries weight well. I…

  • I spread mine on a slice of homemade banana bread for breakfast yesterday. Typically I'll spread it on rye toast or pita bread. I'd be interested to hear some more unconventional uses :tongue:

  • The thing I like about cottage cheese is that you can use it as a substitute for just about any other dairy product or mayo based dressing. Here's how I eat mine: As "yogurt" with nuts, berries, cereal, oats, wheat germ, sliced fruit, peanut butter, cocoa powder, cinnamon/nutmeg, etc, etc, etc... As "sour cream" with baked…

  • Cool, thanks for the tip :smile: I heard about /r/loseit before, but I assumed it was tied to the "Lose It" iPhone app which I didn't really care for. It looks like it's actually a pretty active community!

  • Well said! If I know I'll be going out, I try to have ~300 calories set aside for a couple of good craft beers (I wouldn't waste the calories on "light" or mass produced beer ;) If I'm not drinking alcohol, my default is unsweetened iced tea with lemon, or sometimes club soda with lime. I avoid sugary soda and diet soda…
    in what do you drink when you go out Comment by bsudano July 2012
  • Learn to love unsweetened iced tea with lemon. Tea doesn't need sugar to taste good! Every weekend, I make a gallon of iced tea. Bring a gallon of water to a boil, let 8 tea bags steep for 5 minutes, and then add a pinch of baking soda to take out the astringent bite. Stick in in the refrigerator, and cut up a few lemons…

  • These magic words: "Instead of <starch>, can I have extra <vegetable>?" And as others have mentioned, pre-planning is often very helpful. Sometimes I'll look up the menu online and add my meal to MFP before I even get to the restaurant. Then when you're sitting in the restaurant, you don't even need to open the menu, and…

  • This workout plan requires no equipment, and only enough floor space to lay down: http://www.fourmilab.ch/hackdiet/e4/exercise.html Working your way up the "ladder" is great motivation too!

  • I wouldn't say it's just as bad as eating candy, but sugar is sugar, and it will affect your weight loss just the same. Keep in mind that we've been selectively breeding fruit for thousands of years, so it's much larger and sweeter than what our ancestors would have found naturally. If you want to shop seasonally, I would…
    in Question about sugar... Comment by bsudano July 2012
  • Here's my favorite excerpt from John Thorne's book Outlaw Cook: "How to Eat an Avocado (you think you know how, but you don't). First of all, it must be a perfectly ripe Hass avocado (small, dark green, and with an alligator's crumply skin). Cut it in half and gently pop out the seed. Set each half, cut side up, in a…
