almonds and hazelnuts

Did you read what I wrote as an "allergy"? Just wondering...

tell her you are allergic to carbs and if you eat them you will break out in fat. but seriously, don't eat cake if you don't want to. If you are content with what you have and don't feel deprived, then don't eat it!! Sometimes a small treat can trigger a binge if that treat is one of your trigger foods.

Perhaps 1 large egg and two small? I wouldn't worry too much and I would probably just count them as two large and enjoy my bonus yumminess

was it a double yolk?

It doesn't look like you have a lot to lose. How many pounds a week do you have your loss set to? If you are exercising a lot and not eating enough, your body may be reluctant to let go of weight. You haven't given us much info to go with, perhaps more details would help people give you advice?

made this for a father's day bbq and it was a big hit! http://wifeasaurus.blogspot.com/2012/06/caprese-salad-for-crowd.html

make a noodle-less lasagna!! Slice them really thin and use them in a lasagna recipe to replace the noodles.

If you get some more and they are a bit smaller, I really like this recipe: http://wifeasaurus.blogspot.com/2012/06/zucchini-boats.html

If you are eating factory raised meats, there are a lot of toxins in the fats, so go lean and add butter or coconut oil to it. If you are eating grassfed and finished meat (which tends to be leaner anyways), then eat and enjoy that fat!

I don't track saturated fat. I have my fat percentage set at about 50% of my diet. It mostly comes from healthy sources, except for the occasional treat.

If you want omega-3s without doing a supplement go for oily fish (tuna, salmon, sardines), grass fed beef, eggs from chickens that are eating flax. I eat the following foods for good fats: avocados, pastured meats, grassfed butter, whole milk, grassfed yogurt, coconut oil, eggs, olive oil, oily fish, some nuts (I'm…

No, I don't fill it in religiously. After a year of logging, I have a good idea of where I am day to day. I also have days where I eat out for dinner and don't feel like logging all of the meal components. If I stick to gluten free and low on grains, I feel great and don't worry about going over too much.

I totally feel your pain. I have a fully stocked kitchen for baking, but I can't even eat the baked goods anymore due to a gluten intolerance. Baking was a stress reliever for me and made me so happy (although i never ate too much of it). I have replaced my baking with cooking. I cook everything I can from scratch and take…

I am nowhere near perfect, but I have had great results so I guess its working :) My goal is grain and legume free and I usually end up having corn and/or rice one or two times a week. But I feel great and I'm almost 40 pounds lighter :)

I third this notion! I keep my bacon grease to cook veggies in later. Much better option that all of the seed oils. My 3 eggs cooked in pastured butter were delicious this morning :)

have you been tested for celiac? The damage to the lining of the intestine can prevent nutrient absorption. It can also cause extreme fatigue. I would have your doctor test for this, but don't cut out gluten beforehand if you want proper results from the blood test.

weight training will add muscle, but to lose belly fat, you have to lose body fat in general. There isn't really such a thing as "spot reducing" fat. You may also consider reading Wheat Belly. I cut out gluten and grains 6 months ago and my belly is pretty flat with no extreme exercise changes. I weight lift once or twice…

my usual salad: spring greens grape tomatoes cucumbers 1 can of oil packed tuna balsamic vinegar

I haven't, but I would think 1/4 tsp with a tsp of honey would be great. I don't usually buy flavored yogurt, I eat it plain or add something like jam or unsweetened coconut flakes to it.

I eat about 1750 a day, so I'm probably not a good role model for you! But, I can give a suggestion. Make sure you are eating plenty of healthy fats and protein. This will keep you full. I used to eat low fat and I would be hungry all the time and now I'm not hungry often and when I am it is reasonable hunger, not that…

I don't bank calories. I see each day as a new start, so if I mess up one day or am under one day, then I try not to let it affect my eating the next day. This has worked for me, but there are always different approaches.

coconut oil and pastured butter...my idea of diet friendly is a little different...

Bring a snack, like some chocolate covered almonds or I usually get raisinets because they're gluten free and I love them :)

red wine or dark chocolate

saute it with some olive oil, onions and garlic. Season with salt and pepper and yum!

wean yourself down to dark chocolate. Then, cut it out altogether. It might be beneficial to go cold turkey and cut out all processed sugars and cut back on fruit. It will be tough for a week or two, but your cravings should go away.

greek yogurt is higher in protein as it has some of the whey drained out of it. I like fage total for greek yogurt, plain only for me and full fat. I add my own fruit or unsweetened coconut flakes to it. I also enjoy Stonyfield plain, whole yogurt. I just bought some handcrafted carrot cake jam to add to my plain yogurt.

Paleo and crossfit do tend to go hand in hand. The paleo diet is really great for getting a strong, lean body. Healthy carbs give you energy and fat and protein keep you full. Your trainer's diary looks lame. I'm not perfect paleo, but feel free to check out my diary. I eat dairy, almost always full fat. I eat a lot more…
