Protein shake/smoothie recipes?
I have realized over the past few months that I prefer drinking my breakfast. I'm too tired to cook in the morning, and just like to drink something with my coffee in it. I have been using pre-made Evolve shakes mixed with cold brew coffee, but thinking about adding more into my shakes (and using protein powder instead) to…

Can I do yoga instead of weight training?
When I started losing weight, I told myself exercise should be something I enjoy. I got a treadmill to use at home, because I knew I would use it more often if I did (which I do - I actually love it). I have been experimenting with a lot of different workouts for strength training, and honestly, I just don't enjoy weights…

You don't NEED Keto if you don't like it
My first personal milestone when I re-started in December was to get down to the lowest weight I got to when I was doing Keto. To convince myself I didn't NEED to do it to lose weight, which is what my dummy mind convinced myself. It took a little less than 3 months to lose the 30 lbs I needed to get to that weight. I…

Anyone gluten-free and dairy-free?
For health reasons, my doctor wants me to go gluten-free and dairy-free for 2 weeks to see how I feel (Except yogurt once a day because of the probiotics). Does anyone else eat this way? Can you give me an idea of what you eat and some of your favorite meals? I think breakfast will be easy since I can have eggs, which I…

Apparently I'm allergic to exercise
I have been getting these weird headaches the past few days (since I started jogging on the treadmill instead of just walking). The pain like radiates from above my right eye, down to the base of my skull, and back up. It happens about every 5 minutes for like 10 seconds, then goes away. 5-10 minutes later, it comes back.…

How did you stop sabotaging yourself?
I have noticed that I am in a long, emotionally-exhausting, and frustrating cycle of re-starting due to sabotaging myself. I always think I have some amazing reason (excuse) to quit and "try something else". That's what i always tell myself.. oh, it's just "this" diet doesn't work. I need to start a different one. But what…

What is your go-to fast food?
I am going to be out for dinner, so I have to pick up something real quick. I was thinking a grilled chicken sandwich from somewhere, but curious what other people usually do? I have 646 calories left for the day. Near me, there is: McDonald's Jack in the Box Burger King Taco Bell I did really well this week (this was my…

Do you force yourself to eat?
When you're not hungry? I do NOT condone trying to eat too few calories. This is super rare for me, but I was shopping all day today and I ate a light dinner, and have no appetite. If it's just one day, do you just let it go, or do you try to find something appetizing. I could probably drink a protein shake or something if…

Question about running shoes
About a year ago, I sprained my right foot and ankle. It healed up in a few weeks, but ever since then, all my shoes are much tighter on my right foot than my left. As if it has some permanent swelling. Looking at my feet, they look the same, but this happens with ALL shoes. I want to start the couch25k program in January,…

Umm help
I am having some serious issues with just wanting to stress eat my weight in donuts and fries all day. I haven't yet.. but it's like I keep riding wave after wave of my dumb brain telling me JUST DO IT, over and over again. A little background: I have MAJOR issues with food. Food addiction, compulsive overeater, binge…

What weight scale do you have?
I have an etekcity one I bought on Amazon, and I'm starting to think it's not super accurate. If I step on, it gives me one weight. Then, if I step off, wait for it to reset, and step back, it's almost always at least a pound lower :/ I started testing it a few weeks ago when I was concerned maybe it was old and I needed…

Dairy-Free Protein?
What are your favorite protein sources that are dairy-free? I am not 100% dairy free (I can have mild cheddar), but I have rosacea, and it acts up when I have too much milk protein. I have been drinking Premier Protein shakes this week with my coffee, and my skin is ANGRY. Going dairy-free isn't super difficult, but it is…

Fitbit/Exercise Calories Question
Ok, so first of all, I know I need to eat my exercise calories because that's how MFP's calculations are set up. Totally fine with that. But I searched through some of the past topics about this, and it looks like some people eat all of them, while others only eat half. Is there any rhyme or reason to this? Is it because…

Does Anyone Just Follow the MPF Macros and That's It?
I keep getting caught up in all these "diets", and wondering if anyone is successful JUST doing what MFP gives you as far as calories/fat/protein/carbs, and then choosing whether or not to eat your exercise calories? Or is pretty much everyone doing all these diets now? I would love to just hear following MFP is enough for…

Weird Dilemma.. LC Foods For Nausea?
I had a situation yesterday and no idea what to do. I actually messed up and had bread. If I had been in the right mind, I would have had broth instead. Basically, I tripped going down the stairs and sprained my ankle and foot. The pain made me super nauseated, where I was sure I was about to vomit. Usually I eat bread or…

LC options to eat with almond butter?
Hello! I'm new to the group and need some recommendations. Before I went LCHF, I was eating a banana with almond butter every afternoon. It really helps with those afternoon cravings. But since bananas are 27 grams of carbs, I obviously need to ditch them now. What else is low-carb but I can eat almond butter with? I have…
