George Forman Grill
My best friend's family bought me one a number of Christmases ago and I rarely used it. But now I'm using it more. Just grilled some portobello mushrooms and zucchini. Now I'm grilling some za'atar lemon chicken which is super easy on the grill to do. Anyone else have one? What do you like to cook? Would love suggestions!

Elimination Diet
Anyone else doing this? I'm in my first week and I did this diet like 5-6 yrs ago to see if I had any triggers. Sadly I didn't. I'm hoping this time around I will so I know what's been causing my globus sensation all this time.

Cooking? Enjoy it or hate it?
I'm curious how many of you like cooking your meals? How many of you hate/dislike it? Personally, I really enjoying cooking and finding ways to make my meals tasty and healthy. There's nothing more fun than when I'm excited to eat or look forward to my meals.

Non-calorie focused friends
Anyone not focusing on calories, but on food quality? I'd love to add friends who are working to eat quality food rather than focus on getting in under your daily calorie count. I don't count my calories or try to stress when I go over because I can't live my life getting hung up on them.

Have you been eating your greens?
Hi Y'all! I dropped off for a month or 2 due to life being super crazy. I'm back to logging my food as I'm working to be more accountable. I love seeing other diaries and while the people I've added to my list are great and supportive, their diets are no so great. I really aim to get veggies in, salads, etc. I'm hoping to…

Get more sleep challenge! May 22-June 22
Hi All, I read Arianna Huffington's book The Sleep Revolution a couple weeks ago and I was appalled at the impact of our how not getting enough sleep impacts all areas of our life. This goes hand in hand with eating and our body having time to recover each day while we sleep to get us ready to function the next day. Have…

Have you ever lost weight and realized you lost too much?
I remember ages ago i was talking to a friend/old coworker who said she had lost weight and got down to whatever number she thought she would look good at, only to realize she didn't like it. I think she gained back like 10-15lbs and was happier with more weight on her body. Has anyone experienced this? I picked my number…

Foods you didn't like and now do
I had some smoked salmon for breakfast this morning which I actually like now. i don't like cooked fish very much but my nutritionist suggested I try the smoked salmon from a vendor at a nearby farmer's market. I ended up liking it a lot. I also enjoy sushi more, the nigiri kind and with little or no soy sauce. Tofu I now…

Serving vs calories
I was just serving myself some smoked salmon and for some reason I thought a serving was like 5 oz only to see it's 2-3 oz. That in combination with the rest of my breakfast (rice, zucchini and mushrooms) and a size of almond butter (ate this separately), gave me a healthy 413 calorie breakfast. Question is, do you pay…

How has your eating changed?
Hi all! Just curious, sometimes when we are changing our eat habits, looking back it can be amazing to see how we've changed. I used to eat more processed food and not cook very much. Over the last 5 years though, I've come to love cooking and have even tried doing more plant base cooking and even can appreciate vegan…

How long does it take you to eat a meal?
I've been working in not inhaling my food which I find most challenging in the morning when I'm trying to get out of the apartment during the week. But I feel I'm eat I'm slower (20-25 mins) for dinner and sometimes at lunch, depending what time I'm hungry and how much time I have to cover my coworker for lunch. I know…

Does your SO know your weight?
I was finishing my food log this morning for last night and looking for an item I asked my bf about. I went to complete the log and got the little page that says "if you ate like this the next x weeks you would weigh ..." And he saw the number. I've never shared my weight with a SO and it's probably because I'm insecure…

Struggle to strength train
Hi all. I haven't been on here in ages and getting back to logging my food. I started working with a nutritionist a while back and realizing I need to log my food daily to be more accountable and getting back in here will hopefully help me. I had an a-ha moment the other day after trying to get back on track with eating,…

Favorite cookbooks
I was curious, what are your favorite cookbooks to use? My go-to currently is Whole Life Nutrition https://wholelifenutrition.net/ which is great for people who have gluten, dairy, corn, and soy allergies/sensitivities. While I don't have any of these, I try to limit diary and gluten because I just feel less bloated.…

Going on a sugar detox! Wanna join?
Hi! So I've been dealing with some health challenges since April of this year. Not sure exactly what's going on and currently working with a natropathic doctor to help sort it out. Without getting into the whole story of it all, yesterday I was at work and realized I feel addicted to sugar. Granted I've been okay being…

Fav proteins for smoothies
Hi!, Just wanted to get new ideas for protein for smoothies. I met with my nutritional today and she suggested yogurt, even 2 hard boiled eggs (i know, crazy, but she said it's good), keifer and tofu. What are your favs? I was looking for alternatives to protein powders.

How much are you supposed to lose?
Hola!!! I was wondering, according to my height and currently weight, I'd have to lose 26 lbs to get to a "healthier" zone for my height. I have no idea if I'll like my body at that weight and I'm not aiming to get to a certain weight or dress size. for me i'd like to get to a healthier size i like (physically) and a…

New here ... just looking to make healthier food choices
Hi all! I've been on the site for about a month so far and did really well the first week, but slacked after that. Got back on the wagon last week after meeting with dietitian. Learned lots of valuable info about balancing my diet better. Thankfully I don't have any health problems *fingers crossed*, however my biggest…

slow carb diet
Hi all, I'm new here, I've been on MFP for about a month. I've been overweight most of my life, I'm guessing the highest was at 200, but that's a guess. Possibly more. Anyway I've never dieted, mostly because there's a lot of fad diets and the results never stuck or they never seemed realistic. My eating has improved the…
