Plus, I've been under eating for a while now, so I'm okay with this.

@kathrynegrady I read that potassium and magnesium counteract sodium. So you can try to eat foods high in those (or try supplements) as well as try to lower your intake. Btw, I always study restaurant menus in advance, too! I just like to be prepared, lol. Partly for nutritional calculations and partly bc I’m vegetarian,…

Same same. I'm finding I derail more and more bc of craft beer. It eats up my calories, disrupts my sleep cycle, and throws off my mood for the next couple days. But it's soooo yummy and fun in the moment! :/

I think you should go over to the challenges forum and choose one that will force you to map out and visualize your goals over time. I just started one that has three major goal weights, with the last one in October. I calculated a 1.5 weight loss per week and set my weight loss goals by that (even though my calories are…

I don't know if it's exactly prep, but I've seen people mentioning vacays in some threads, and I would urge people to please postpone or just refrain from planning any travel if at all possible right now. It has just spread to my area (Virginia Beach) bc a couple decided to take an Egyptian cruise. And worse, they aren't…

1. People who blame their guilt over eating meat on vegetarians, who simply want to eat in peace. 2. People who insist on vacationing during the coronavirus outbreak. Just postpone, instead of endangering yourself and everyone around you. It's just spread to my hometown because of two idiots who took an Egyptian cruise.…

Sorry I'm a couple months and a day late! :p Now do you all set your next week's goal weight based on the current week's…

@mph323 You clearly didn't read the blog. It's a post with multiple medical studies, which is why I linked to that instead of reiterating here. I wasn't promoting myself; I was sharing what I found in an efficient way. I also didn't post any propaganda, vegetarian or otherwise. I posted a medical study stating that low…

well, there's healthy weight and then there's ideal weight. at your ideal weight, you'll fit into a size small. try out some BMI calculators.

This hulked up mansplainer is speedtalking (hmmm) about obese people complaining about not being able to fit between restaurant tables. Um ... you're considered obese once you hit size 14. And no one's complaining, but yes, thin privilege does exist. This dude is angry because his short, tiny girlfriend not being able to…

@aokoye Absolutely. I can't believe 10 people disagreed with you. Tools.

But if it is processed in your body rather than a pan over a fire or stovep; THAT's okay? Everything is a chemical process.

Fois gras. I'm a hard no.

@bluffgirl67 Thank you for the kind words. @lbostic89lbostic89 I'ms orry for your loss. I also had a family suicide recently. You're not alone. @KeriA Thanks, I'm glad I'm not the only one who does that, ha ha! @Terytha Maybe you could also pair a boiled egg, nuts/seeds or string cheese, plus a piece fruit with it? If you…

5'3 and 160 right hyuh! Hello, friend! I'm 39, open, and log daily. Add me, y'all!

Well, if he drinks small decaf coffees, the caffeine is extremely negligible. But yes, there are also many wonderful decaf teas. I am EXTREMELY sensitive to caffeine, so I have to be very careful, myself. Adagio's Honeybush Hazelnut has a wonderful, coffee like quality, and it comes loose or in teabags. I can't recommend…

You'll want to use oil, rather than vaseline, inside of your nose, as vaseline can migrate to, and damage your lungs, as well as cause swelling to your nasal tissues.

Eeeek! I like the tip about bringing your own wipes. Be aware that only specific cleaners can kill coronavirus. CDC has a list. Clorox, Lysol and Purell make cleaners that are on it. The PDF can be found on this page: https://cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/home/cleaning-disinfection.html

Here are a couple of other snacks/treats that may or may not work for you that are sold at Whole Foods:…

Once it gets warmer, I find a daily morning green smoothie is a great way to get in a dose of veg AND protein: a handful or two of frozen baby spinach and kale, sliced half banana frozen, 1/2 cup frozen berries, 1 cup unsweetened vanilla soy milk. Also, sheet pan and one pot meals are life savers. Look into pea protein,…

Unsweetened vanilla coconut milk. You can also add a dash of cinnamon, nutmeg, or whatever floats ya

Please don’t force yourself. Not all women are the same height and weight. It’s not generally recommended for the AVERAGE adult woman to eat fewer than 1200 calories, but at my height and weight, I can eat 1,000 on a sedentary day without endangering my health. On some days, I stuff myself with fewer than that. Strangers…

I honestly don’t have enough calories or do enough cooking to do many side dishes, but I’m a fan of green beans with minced garlic and dill. That prolly didn’t help much, lol. I like one pan meals, myself. Congrats on reducing your consumption of animal products and increasing your produce intake!

Now this is not my recipe, but I made it, and it’s delicious! I recommend the lower cooking times and adding the chickpeas last (with the onion and asparagus) INGREDIENTS 1 lb. baby red potatoes, sliced in half lengthwise 1 1/2 cups petite baby carrots 1 can (14oz.) chickpeas, drained and rinsed 1 teaspoon of EACH dried…

Feel free to post recipes here and/or add me as a friend!

@janiceld84 I wasn’t able to add you as a friend; would you mind posting a favorite or 2 here?

Btw @joyanna2016, did you notice all the ppl telling you it’s unhealthy without knowing your age, height, or comorbidities? That’s exactly the kind of garbage I’m talking about. My profile is public. Feel free to add me as a friend if you’d like.

It’s not necessarily too low. 1,000 is the absolute minimum. My online calculator says I should eat between 1,000 and 1,300. I aim for 1,200, but some days I’ve tried stuffing myself to the point of pain bc I let online advice confuse me. Listen to your body above all and consult a doctor if necessary. Online strangers can…

The breakfast pic is flax oil, eggs, baby spinach/kale, basil pesto, and grape maters. The dinner pic is olive oil, baby carrots, asparagus, red potatoes, chickpeas, yellow onion, sea salt, black pepper, fresh parsley, dried basil, paprika, garlic powder, and rosemary/sun dried tomato blend.
