Going back to meat
I've been vegetarian for a little over a year and a half, and I think I want to go back to eating meat. I quit eating meat originally because I didn't like the flavor and I thought it was gross, but I'm finding it less so and I think it will help me eat fewer carbs and be an easier source of protein... Any tips for going…
Always hungry?!
The biggest part of my diet plan is to limit portions to reasonable sizes, but I've found that even if I feel full after meals, I'm hungry not long afterwards! I was over-eating by quite a bit (and maybe i still am!) so I'm trying to eat less than normal. I think I'm getting enough protein, and I'm working to stay hydrated…
Targeting specific areas?
Right now my workout is running 3 miles 3 times a week and pushups and situps on non-running days. I'm starting to lose inches faster than pounds which is really my bigger concern, but i want to lose it from my stomach and chest, and right now it's just coming off my already small behind. I know that situps will strengthen…
Which is better..?
I keep finding myself at the end of the day under the 1200 calorie mark, and I know it's important to eat at least that many. Is it better to eat a lot at the end of the day to catch up to 1200, or should I just try to get back on track the next day and leave it under 1200?
Freshman Negative 15
I just joined today because I'm hoping tracking my food in addition to exercise will provide me with more motivation. I've been trying to lose weight since junior high but I feel like I haven't committed myself fully. I'm hoping to lose 15 pounds before I start college and beat the freshman 15. =]
