I don't think you have to cut out a bunch of carbs to lose weight. With that said, I like to stick to carbs such as fruit, nuts, and brown rice. I feel my body responds better when I eat these kinds of foods and I have been losing weight with this way consistently. When I tend to add things like white tortillas and bread…

I'm going to be completely honest that I struggle/d with binge eating and it used to make me feel better when others would indulge with me. It kept me on this mindset that if they do it I can do it too and it excused my crappy food behaviors. I honestly think this has to do with the other person feeling guilty about their…

I am the "overweight daughter" as well. It was stressed from a young age to exercise and eat right but it was hard with high calorie, low nutrient foods in the house because we didn't have a lot of money. Still, my mother would make me do Richard Simmons exercise tapes with her when I was 8 years old and I hated it. I also…

Luna bars-they kill my sweet tooth almost immediately. You could also try making your own granola bars to tailor to your tastes and get some better nutrients in there. Vita top deep chocolate muffin tops-these are awesome! They taste between a mix of a brownie and cake for only 100 cals! They they are fairly large so you…

That's weird! I've never had a problem with lumps! I fill the fruits and veggies to the line then pour whatever liquid I'm using up to the line. I give it some short bursts then take it off, shake it up a little, then some more bursts. If the fruit is frozen you may have to pour your liquid in, screw the cap on and shake…

Well I will tell you this! I dated a man that had great abs and his body was lean as hell but cut in the right places. He took very good care of his body in general but I sent him packing. We didn't mesh well personality wise. My now fiancè is a little thicker but still works out consistently. He has toned arms from…

I was the worst with Diet Coke. I drank 5 cans a day at least. To me there was nothing like getting a big glass full of ice and popping that baby open! But I was having some pretty bad acid reflux problems and thought I really have to stop this! But at the same time I was like ugh water! So I started tapering off the Coke…

I wouldn't try the egg crust. It NEVER gets crispy. Tried everything. The best options I've used is a low carb pizza crust mix like LC Foods or a low carb tortilla like Mama Lupe's. A low carb Pita like Toufayan bakeries could be great as well then top how you please. You could make your own sauce to avoid the sugars in…

I'm really bad too. I grew up on it and it takes a lot of effort for me to say no as well. But once you actually do you feel empowered. Like I am NOT going to let that temptation of burgers and fries get me anymore! My health is more important! But the convenience factor is what gets me. It's so easy to pick up after work…

I WISH chicken breasts were 2 bucks for 2 lbs. Try 15 bucks!

Wow! YOU GO GIRL!! Very pretty! Everyday I am inspired by stories like this!

If I know I am going to be drinking I make space for the calories. I also do vodka and Cherry Pomegranate Crystal Light as I try to follow a lower carb diet. I limit myself to 2 drinks and last time I even had some low carb pizza when those "drunken cravings" hit. I didn't gain any water weight the next day. I also think…

Well I could see that it may be a problem for people that link their emotions with eating. But yes, I agree sometimes a cookie is all you need if it's a once in awhile thing. But I also find when I stay away from those things I don't crave them as badly. I'm just saying for the most part, processed carbs do not work well…

I know that when I cut out the heavy processed carbs it helped my mood a lot. But cutting out grains completely? Nah! Obviously replacing processed carbs with good healthy whole carbs like steel cut oats will be beneficial to your body as a whole. Just like replacing a cookie with a piece of fruit would be beneficial as…

I'm loving coconut cream, coconut butter, peanut butter, apples, spinach, and blueberries lately. Oh and eggs! I love boiled eggs because they are quick, great source of protein, and virtually no mess. ETA: Couldn't pick just one! All delicious!!

What I try to do is drink a lot of water throughout the day and make sure to have my healthy snacks in between meals (apple with peanut butter, nutrition bar, etc). This is important because if you start feeling hungry that will be the start of the downfall.
