Difference is long term vitamin/mineral deficiencies, imo. Not good for the body in the long run if you're eating junk all the time. Also, chronic diseases such as heart disease and metabolic syndrome/type II diabetes (which leads to a bunch of other horrible symptoms like potential blindness, nerve damage, etc....) is a…

I'm 24!! Feel free to add. =)

I have three right now: - Copious amounts of fruits especially mangoes and durian. - Baybel mini cheese - Homemade sushi rolls

My bad, I was basing the cholesterol levels on the average recommended amounts (300 mg) and two eggs reaches that recommendation. IDK about the whole studies though but thanks for the information??

My bad, I was basing the cholesterol levels on the myfitnessapp thing.

Technically, you can eat as many eggs a day as you like. If you're worried about cholesterol levels though, limit to two egg yolks a day. I eat one egg daily a few times per week. Not always though. To me, eggs are for a special occasion. Maybe that's because when I was little, my parents only made sunny side up fried eggs…

Skin has fiber to help you go to the bathroom regularly!! And other good nutrients too that are not found in the potato flesh itself. I love the skin. :D

Didn't know they made a name for it. I guess I'm a flexitarian. LOL.

Super friendly!

For me, it was avocado and nuts. In college, I tried to eat healthier and I heard that avocado and nuts were good for you so I ate that and gained a good 7 pounds because of it. LOL. I know better now; moderate intake is best. But as for processed foods, I used to eat tons of frozen dinners when I was little. Now I read…

Emotional eating... Been there so many times myself. My mom is a binge eater too so it runs in my family. She gets depressed and then she'll eat. As for me, anxiety sets me off. I get anxious and I go into a trance mode and eat without thinking. This hasn't happened lately though, especially since I switched to a whole…

My fitness pal says I should be on a 1200 cals a day diet too. Things that I found helpful for me: 1. Cook for yourself. Always. 2. Eat nutrient dense food--mostly whole foods rather than calorie dense foods. Keep processed foods to a minimum. This will take time to overcome but the point is to break from the junk food…

True! Except peanut butter is very fattening. LOL. I also love, love, LOVE durian. Excellent yummy (but stinky) de-stress food for me. Too bad they are so freaking expensive. Two frozen pods are like $7.00 where I live; the fresh ones are even more expensive. D;

Anyone want to be my dear friend? I want to snoop your profile and get food and exercise ideas. =D

Mangoes. Lots and lots of mangoes. Peanut butter and banana together (easy on the peanut butter). I also like to simmer Japanese yams/sweet potato in light coconut milk for a treat. :D Lately, I've been drinking warm almond milk with beaten egg yolk, coconut sugar, vanilla, cinnamon/nutmeg mixed right in. Makes for a…

I haven't eaten breakfast yet... still in bed on this lazy Memorial Monday morning. :) So dinner was a hot pot style dinner with my family. We had yu choy and some other Chinese vegetables, enoki mushrooms, shrimp, squid slices, sturgeon fish, and sliced beef. Yum yum.

Could be more muscle mass... That's why you see that some lean person might weigh more than someone with some flab. Never depend solely on weight for your health and your self esteem...!

Ex-junk food addict here. It took me well over two years to get over the addiction... with tons of setbacks too. It's so hard because that junk food has a mix of fat, sugar, salt, and various chemicals/substances (for yummy texture) all in one product--everything needed to make you keep coming back. Naturally, all of that…

Technically, fruit sugar at it's simplest form is the same as other sugars. However, the way it is digested is not the same, imo. Plus it has lots of fiber/vitamins/antioxidants so there are just way more benefits to it. I usually go well over my sugar goal too because of fruits but it hasn't caused a problem so far. I…

I've heard of that... Thing is, you need to make the diet a lifestyle for it to work because if you are only doing it temporarily, going back to the way you ate before will only make the weight come back. It's good for detoxing though and to make you go to the bathroom more!! :) As for me, I personally have been eating…

I do what a lot of other posters here already suggested. I meal prep one day for the rest of the week. But as for easy recipes? I just made Japanese nimono--super easy simmered vegetables in broth/seasonings. You can just chop and add any type of root veggies (ie. carrots, taro, sweet potato, bamboo shoots, etc) and your…
