Rosacea Diet/Trigger Foods
Hi, I have rosacea and my dermatologist recommended a bunch of diet changes to see if that can decrease my rosacea. She recommended this a while ago and it worked but I started ignoring it and hey, my rosacea is back. Unfortunately, there are SO MANY foods that can trigger rosacea. And yes, if I had a little bit of one of…

Not hungry after a hard workout?
I am trying to lose weight, but have found the weird problem that I don't have an appetite after my boot camp class in the evening, so I've ended up just not having dinner. If I don't go to boot camp, my appetite is normal. Isn't this the opposite of how it should be? Boot camp is a really hard workout. Am I just feeling…

Sushi - estimating calorie content, healthiness
1. Given that sushi preparation varies so much from restaurant to restaurant (e.g. I've had massive maki (rolls) and tiny ones . . . even variation in how much avocado, etc is in each roll), is it even possible to effectively estimate/log calories in sushi if you're not eating at a chain restaurant? 2. I always thought of…

Rowing machine for home
Does anyone have tips for a rowing machine to buy to have at home? Yes, I can't spend that much ($300ish max), which I realize rules out the best options. I've heard the best rowers are Concept 2 but I can't afford them. My other requirement is that I'd prefer one that is on the quieter side. I don't need any fancy…

How much rest per week?
For the past month I have been doing physical therapy (back muscles) twice a week, which is basically 10 minutes on a bike and then various weight machines/resistance band exercises and a few things like crunches. 1 or 2 other days a week, I've gone to a boot camp class which is much more strenuous and is basically circuit…

Anyone else "Skinny fat" - "Healthy" BMI and so on, but really, really poor fitness?
I used to have a BMI of about 23-24 (yes, I know the limitations of BMI, just trying to give an idea of where I was at). At that time I figured I was a little below average in fitness, but nothing too bad. I have a job where I'm on my feet all day so I figured that was better than people who are totally sedentary. At my…

Workout playlist
Hi guys, hope this topic is allowed here. I like working out but I get bored of my music pretty quickly and I need music to keep me going. Does anyone have advice/links for great music or playlists (not asking for free music, I can buy it)? I like 80s and 90s music and fast-paced musical songs (right now I'm loving "Candy…

Nutrition benefits/content of milk?
So due to medical reasons I'm supposed to avoid meats AND beans, so I end up getting a lot of protein from eggs, cottage cheese, and milk. (I can't really afford to spend a lot of money on more unusual protein sources like quinoa, plus I actually like all those 3 things). I'm trying to lose weight so I go for the low-fat…

Accurately logging purchased foods?
Obviously, accurately logging is really important, but does anyone have tips for accurately logging purchased foods, particularly the kind that don't come with nutritional info? I make 90-95% of my food myself and weigh it, which helps with accuracy, but I like the gluten-free muffins at my local farmer's market but have…
