So it makes a difference in what order calories (energy) is burned. If a body burns 2000 calories of energy a day and you take in 1500 calories. Why should it matter if the body burns the alcohol calories first or the carbs or the fat or the protein. I understand that the body can not store alcohol so it is burned first…

I use mine for non-protein powder protein shakes Greek yogurt, fruit, milk, ice and a touch of Splenda It also works great for margaritas, and piña coladas :happy:

So when all is said and done on this thread, Is alcohol ok as long as you log it and stay under your calories, or does it harm your weight loss?

Pho is extremely heavy in sodium content. One serving has between 2800 to 3500 mg of sodium. A full days salt limit in one meal. Don't worry the weight is water retention.

"A plateau occurs because your metabolism — the process of burning calories for energy — slows as you lose muscle. You burn fewer calories than you did at your heavier weight even doing the same activities. Your weight-loss efforts result in a new equilibrium with your now slower metabolism. At this new equilibrium,…

Since you have lost 20 pounds have you gone back and re-figured your TDEE? Or are you still eating the same amount as you did in the beginning? It may not be a big difference but you don't need as many calories at your current weight as you did when you were bigger. Every time I have a weight loss, I re-figure my TDEE and…

Coconut oil is good but there are other oils that are good for you too and you won't get that coconut flavor. I keep a range of oils on hand depending on what I'm cooking. Olive oil; 2 kinds of olive oil. 1 Pomace olive oil for sauteeing and a good extra virgin olive oil for finishing (never heat a good evoo) Avacado oil,…

Let's go back further to people who think Jethro Tull was the lead singer in a band:grumble:

In the words of Troy from "Swamp People", "Just Choot 'em :laugh:

Penny, your profile shows that you only have 12 more pounds to lose. Two pounds a week is a little aggressive. It would be more realistic to set your goals at .5 to 1 lb a week.

When you say thing like "small amount of oil" and "about a cup of sugar peas" it tells me that you are not being exact with your intake. Remember also that packaged food like Lean Cuisine, the calories on the box can fluctuate as much as 20%, so that 350 calorie meal can be as high as 420 calories

I think your calorie count is off and you are eating more than you think. I am getting 390 calories for your dinner But as for extra calories; peanut butter or avacados

The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place... and I don´t care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently, if you let it. You, me or nobody, is gonna hit as hard as life. But ain't about how hard you hit... It's about how hard you can get hit, and keep…

^This.....one pound a week is better than the quick fix

2 fried eggs, 2 sausage patties, hash browns and toasted English muffin w/ butter.

Powdered protein is not tasty to me. Yesterday I made an orange shake; 2 oranges, 1 cup greek yogurt, and some ice. It was great. I also use a little Splenda to sweeten it with.

I make my own protein shakes with greek yogurt as the base. I am sipping one right now that is; greek yogurt, banana and peanut butter. Very tasty and very filling.

Yesterdays eating is not your only problem. Looking back at your logging for the month of August; you were under your daily calorie goal 10 days and over your calories 13 times. Without even taking yesterdays totals into consideration you are over 9329 calories in just 22 days. If you take yesterdays calories into account…

My wife craves chocolate too at certain times. We buy the mini chocolate bars and when she has to have chocolate she eats one. Only 85 calories for any number of the mini candies. I like the mini almond joy. Don't cut chocolate out of your diet completely or you will probably binge in it. Just work it into your daily…
