Water vs Broth?
So, would it be better to make bone broth and drink it, rather than drinking a ton of water? I drink an awful lot of water, and don’t want to throw off my electrolytes as I probably do. I was thinking that this would be better for hydration and for nutrients with a minimal amount of calories added. Thoughts? Experiences?

Most awesome Detox EVER!
It is so fantastic! It is extremely effective. I am absolutely certain that there is no other detox method that works better than this method here. You sit on a toilet, and let your bowels and bladder loose. Men can do it standing near a bush as well. I suppose women could too, but that would just not work as well.

Those that are 50+ lbs Overweight
How much weight did it take losing before you had real visible difference? I have lost 17, but in side by sides it is nearly negligent... What has it been like for you?

Stock and Fresh Herbs
These two things do so much for food, I just never can get over it! The wild rice I just ate, made with 75% stock and 25% water, holy friggin' crap! SO GOOD! And using fresh herbs, rather than dried herbs in Italian food, or any food for that manner, you can't beat it! Making stock is really easy too. So, who here just…

Energy Levels...
Over the last 2 or 3 weeks, my enery levels have been horrid. I need more than 8 hours(9 or 10 to feel rested enough), when 7.5 to 8 is usually enough to have me ready to go. I am eating very well, but need to find an energy boost, preferably a nutritious one. I cannot do large amounts of caffeine as it has an adverse…

MFP calculated That I "Burned" 6716 calories...
Honestly, this is quite inaccurate. I did not "burn" those calories, I kicked the piss out of them and told them to get hikin'! Kickin' snow and spittin' icicles!!

Since Obamacare is the Law of the Land...
Since we have Obamacare as the law of the land, I think we should inundate the WH with requests that part of the plan is free gym membership as this would cost us less in the long run if we utilize it. It would essentially be a budget cut, even if it doesn't sound like it off the bat! I just sent the Pres an email about…

I Only Eat Food I Like
I have fruit smoothies daily. This is quite variable as there are so many fruits and then fruit combos to choose from. I make my own veggie filled beans and wild rice blends. Delicious. I cook up chicken thighs, and other meat when it is on sale. I make stews, and pastas, and roasts and all my food is generally really…

Have the Flu, What Should I do?
I have the flu... I have not yet eaten everything in my food log, as it is a pre-packed lunch. I did walk about an hour doing rounds (I work security). If I eat what I brought for lunch, I will still be nearly 800 calories below... I am without appetite. Besides the fact that I have the flu. Eat or not eat?

Aloe Vera Flesh
Has anyone here used it in smoothies or other foods? I used to drink the juice on occasion, and today started adding an inch square to my smoothie to help with indigestion… Anyone have experience with this?

Forearms...
What is the best way to build strength for your forearms? I sometimes get fatigued in my forearms doing other weight training, and the muscle I am trying to work can keep on if it wasn't for this. What are y'all's solutions to this problem?

A Few Awesome Things So Far...
Recently, I have been actually feeling lean. I am not. I am still 40lb overweight.... but, I can now do squats without leaning forward. Also, my belt size is down 3 loop holes. In October I purchased a pair of size 38 jeans that were a little small on me. I need a belt to wear them now. Also, I am a big hiker. I went…

Processed Foods >:-[
So, there are so many people here that decry processed foods. You realinze the moment you take a knofe to food for prep, you are processing the food. Homemade salsa is a processed food. Stew is a processed food, beef roast is a processed food. Why all the hate on processed food? There are a lot of processed food available…

Do you really need to watch salt intake...
If you are working out into a deep sweat most days? I mean, I am sweating a decent amount out, do I need to fret over salt intake? My BP seems to be on verge high any time I check it. Is there any good info out there for the active person and salt intake?

Vegans/Vegetarians Curious About...
Protein powders that do not contain soy that you use. I am in a small town, so do not have a ton of access to a lot of products, but there is a GNC and a Vitamin World at the local mall that has a selection. What are your thoughts on the flavor and effectiveness of specific brands? I am wanting to get a non animal based…

Is Lipozene Safe?
My sister-in-law just started it. I was curious if this kind of product could be safe for someone to use? It can't be good for you, I am sure!

Food Scale
Do you use one? Which ones are the better ones? I guess my meat most of the time. Also, I am guessing that the calorie counter here counts the meat before being cooked (as is required for restaurants and such)? I think that I will need to start doing this as soon as I can afford a scale. I wish to be as accurate as…

Dark Chocolate...
I started with 70% + a long time ago, and worked up to 85% (I settled on Lindt). I recently bought a bar of 90%, but the consistency went from a still creamy-esk texture to a waxy texture. It doesn't taste "bad" but it does not have the enjoyment factor. I could not, on first try, handle the 85%. I actually threw a few…

My Crawfish Ettouffe
I was certain it was fattening as all get out! I just made it into a recipe on here, and it is a very low calorie meal by itself (with the rice). Holy moly! Seriously, it is 300 calories for a serving! It is intensely filling too! WOW. My mind is blown! True, I usually have two crusty French bread rolls with it… that is…

A Little Bummered Out!!!
I just did some progress pics, and put them side by side. I can barely notice a difference. I am 15+ lbs lighter, (A lot of that came off my legs, which were not in my before pics). My belt is down three loop holes as well, but the pictures do not reflect that. I slacked there for a bit, and lost a lot of would be…

Underwear question for men
What is good for circuit training/cardio/kickboxing cardio? I really need some good underwear that isn't gonna cause schafing when hiking/running or any other cardio. I am getting pretty done with this. I am just ignorant on this!

OK, in the recipe menu, I have made my recipes open for view… but where do you view recipes that you have input here? I mean under the food link? Is it something that will, in the future, be accessible, or can I go check out peoples recipes right now? Thanks!!

Intense Workout!
Yesterday I did P90 sculpt 1-2 and turbo jam for as well. I then went hiking… 16.5 miles. I am sore as heck, and still beat. Should I do my regularly planned exercise still today? Or would it be better to do a stretch routine and go for a walk… or just rest? I mean, what would be best for maximum results?
