I used to love Dance Dance Revolution, had 3 of the games for PS2. Haven’t had the dance mats in years, sadly. But nowadays sometimes I run in place while watching Dying Light virtual run videos on YouTube on my tv, and that’s a video game; does tha…
I’ve been working on an interesting experiment: Cauliflower Noodles.
I just attempted this for a third time (first was ok and second was DISASTROUS), and I think I’m close. My only complaint is that these were a little soft on the bottom and I had t…
Try a cup of lower calorie hot chocolate or your favorite tea after dinner, and enjoy it slowly while you watch a movie and wind down for the day. I used to snack in the evenings too. If you aren’t able to save calories for after dinner snacking, yo…
I don’t have a stand mixer with a whisk, or a super-duty food processor, or even ice, but I wanted to try protein fluff since I’ve heard good things. Here’s my version with frozen banana.
Banana Protein Fluff
109 g/ 1 medium ripe banana, frozen (97…
I hate this app almost as much as I love it. Had a post all done, and the app crashed as I was uploading a photo. Not the first time it’s happened either. I was stupid and hadn’t copied my text yet. I wish the app wasn’t so buggy. It crashes on me r…
I’ve had my fair share of these throughout my life... I’m just slightly grossed out by the nutrition profile now. I don’t think I can handle that much sugar all at once anymore.
And Dangit!
The Skinny PB Parfait has 260 cal total, not 230. Oops.
Yes I used to listen to Dave a lot, still do on YouTube once in a while. I know all about powdered butt syndrome, lol. I’m not sure how often he goes to the doctor, but from what his attitude has been devolving into, I don’t know how much he trusts …
I guess it’s more of a “parents are weirdos” thing more than a mental health issue. I’m just becoming a little more concerned about him and his moving toward the extreme end of different things.
Plus I don’t think it’s healthy to eat so restrictivel…
Hey chica, I’m 5’3” and currently 145-146 lb, trying to lose about 10 more lb, maybe up to 15. I’ve lost about 60 lb, but only about 8.5 lb lost in the last 6 months (out of 15 months). But I’ve been tracking for a long time, I think my login streak…
I love the endorphin high and just feeling so much looser and lighter afterwards. And the next day if I’m a little sore, I’m like “Oh! That actually did something!” Lol
I’m 33 5’3”and currently 145-146 lb. Current recent low of 144.5. My goal is to maintain between 136-139, but if I feel like I’m not done yet when I hit 136, I might lose a little more. But I’d be over the moon to be under 140 again, and just stay u…
Shrimp “cooked” in lime juice.
If tomato is a fruit (it technically is), then make a simple tomato reduction (aka plain tomato sauce) with any meat it sounds good with.
Balsamic vinegar is made out of just grapes. Does that count?
If so, then chick…
Yeah, this sounds very limiting and I wouldn’t recommend it at all if this is just a fad diet or something a personal trainer told you to do. But, here are some ideas. Since it’s only meat and fruit, there’s really no “recipe” required. No fish? Too…

Forgive me for skipping to the end... but I just discovered virtual runs on YouTube and I love it! I don’t have a treadmill, just run in place in my living room. Know what I really want?
An interactive virtual race with a story, where you see video …
Happy Friday now! It looks like you found my thread, THE Low Calorie Thread of Awesomeness. I shared a basic recipe for my Cabbage & Shirataki Ramen there. In this version, I used just 1.5 tsp of the beef Better Than Bouillon, 1.75 cups water, e…
I highly recommend getting a food scale ;) I’m in the USA too 🇺🇸
I used roughly 1/2 to 2/3 of a medium-sized head of cauliflower, I think. It was a lot of cauliflower; I had to process it in two batches in my food processor. You could probably get a…
Oh thanks you guys! I’m glad you're enjoying these recipes. I was beginning to think I was just posting these for myself, haha.
I’ll keep them coming for sure! Tonight I made a lower cal homemade version of a DQ Peanut Buster Parfait... it’s in my d…
Cabbage & Shirataki noodle “Ramen” with mushrooms, carrots, onion, egg whites, beef bouillon. 170 calories for a giant pot, can’t finish the whole thing in one sitting.
I have been experimenting a lot with granulated sucralose (Splenda) and granulated stevia as part or most of the sugar in desserts, like fudge, or as the sweetener in homemade oatmeal, and other recipes. It works ok, but just doesn’t have the same y…
Gold Wagyu beef strip steaks, mmmm!
Boneless skinless chicken thighs are flavorful and a nice change from chicken breast.
For salmon: corn grits with salmon (freshly grilled or just from a ready to eat salmon pouch) and bbq sauce. Top with some chop…
