Google Fine Cooking Cinco de Mayo menu. I love Fine Cooking website, the recipes are relatively accurate and ingredients are normally healthy. You can always substitute low fat/calorie items without compromise the taste. Then take them all out dancing or break a pinata to burn the calories away~~

I was going to write something logical but I have to agree with the majority of the response, it is time to call it quit. You can find another one, it just means the best is yet to come. If you cited word-by-word what this person said, I have to say it is rather mean. It is not something I would say to anyone, not even my…

Check out this article I found - http://www.yogajournal.com/lifestyle/914

If I am in the snack mode, I brush my teeth. If I am truly hungry, I make myself a green smoothie with lots of chia seeds. Or I eat an egg, something with high protein content. Green tea actually makes me feel hungrier. Does that happen to any of you?

I slacked off for a while but now am ready to be more mindful of what I put in my body. My goal is to lose 20 lbs by end of this year. Please feel free to add me as well. I could use some support and I will support you as well~~

Hi people~ I am 32, no kid. I relocated from Oregon to Lincoln about 2 years ago. I LOVE cooking. It is so fun to do, a great way to try something new without major investment, and the results are usually successful. I found if I have food at home, I am less likely to eat out. However, I do not like to eat out to start…

That depends on who is eating it....for a party or for ourselves? I am from Lincoln, NE, and with college football season kicking off, our Superbowl season is just starting. For the first tailgate party I am going to make a simple hummus dip. On the future possible list includes trail mixes, kale chips, wings, and cheese…

Thank you all for sharing!! And yes, thank God it is not just ME!! I feel so normal now. What I do is I binge in spinach the week before. I blend 3 to 4 cups of raw spinach, 1 apple, 1 banana, and water as my breakfast. I do add protein powder or chia seeds to up my protein intake. During the period I have hard boiled eggs…

Sounds interesting. What & when is that?

I agree, this is just an estimator. Can you involve a licensed dietitian/trainer/medical professional if you are that concerned?

Melissa, The 3 cups of food are for ALL day, and that is a lot of food. Note that the three cups are for raw vegetables, so cut it to 1.5 cup for cooked ones. You can find more detail in her TED talk. Just search TED + Dr. Wahls + MS. That should take you there. Do you own a food processor/grinder? If so, I suggest you…

Melissa, I noticed you are eating quite a bit processed food last 5 days (I only looked that far) and under recommended fiber intake often. Even though you are under your calorie goal, it does not look like a balanced/healthy diet to me. Remember that it is not just calories, it should be about health and balance. Here is…

I think there is a difference between being "toned" and "lose weight". A friend of mine is a model, and yes she weights little but she still has fluffly patches. What is it are you really shooting for, a toned stomach or simply lose the fat? I would not go too low on the recommended calories intake, because it is rather…

My next question is, how do you determine your serving size? Most recipe will say serve 4 but I don't think I always take out one serving at a time. Or maybe I should just estimate and relax?

You go girl!! Feel free to add me for support too. I am in Lincoln but a friend and I are thinking about start training for 5K, will you be interested?

Does Nebraska count as midwest??
