Sugar Sensitivity- Not Diabetes
Does anyone know much about impaired glucose tolerances that are NOT diabetes? All of the information sources I have found link to information about diabetes (which I do not have). I know I should go back to a doctor but won't have time to do so for another couple of weeks. A while ago I got a blood test. Apparently my…

The math of cheating.
I just wanted to clarify something. I am 2kgs away from my goal weight (that is 4 pounds). I am happy with taking a long time to lose the last 4 pounds, and trying to be less restrictive than previously so I don't go crazy/freak out when it comes to trying to maintain. Sorry, I'm going to annoy the hell out of everyone by…

Polenta Recipes
I have been trying to experiment with different foods. I bought polenta (raw) for the first time about a month ago, but simply cooked it in boiling water and served it as a side dish alongside a nice stew I made. I enjoyed the texture, and the sauce from the stew gave it a nice flavour but I seen blogs using polenta in so…

Savoury Protein Powder Recipe
Hi everyone, I have natural flavoured brown rice protein and am seeking ways to use it in dinner recipes. I found this great recipe on Protein Pow, however, it doesn't give ANY measurements of how much of each ingredient to use. http://proteinpow.com/2011/01/i-tried-to-make-my-regular-dahl-chopped_22.html Does anyone have…

Portable Protein Powder/Oat Recipe
So I often like to add protein powder to a warm bowl of oats and eat it out of a bowl as a thick-pudding like substance, sometimes with fruit on top. It is my favourite thing to have for braekfast. Over the next three weeks I will be working early mornings. I have been reading recipes for protein brownies, cakes, breads,…

Denatured Protein Powder
Hi, I know this has been discussed here and on other parts of the internet but I can't find an explanation of what I am wondering. I have read that when heated, proteins denature, which I have seen as an argument against heating protein powder. If heating denatures protein, does it have an impact on the nutritional value…

Light Alfredo Sauce?
So I've always been in the habit of buying packet/jar sauce mixes when making Alfredo sauce or any sort of white creamy pasta dish, because it is easier to find ones that are lower in fat. I've been looking around online at recipes for light creamy pasta dishes that don't require cream or a massive amount of butter. Some…

High Protein Vegetarian Soups?
I have a kilo of sweet potatoes and I would like to use at least half of them before they go weird and soggy. I was hoping people could post their favorite soup recipes involving potatoes (anything with chicken stock I can easily just substitute for vegetable stock). I'm looking for more tomato-ey based soups. Last time I…

Motivation and calorie counting
Background: I live with a significant other who is not aware that I am counting out all of my calories. I don't want to go into details in this thread. I am just wondering if anyone has had similar experiences. So I had an excellent streak going for most of last week. Even on the weekends when I didn't log I know I stuck…

Defining Sedentary
So I'm trying to set my fitness goals but I'm having a bit of trouple deciding whether I am 'Sedentary' or 'Lightly Active.' I do a 30-minute jog 2-3 times per week. But because that is a separate part of the calories setting goal, I am assuming that I should be indicating my day-to-day activity level regardless of…

Restaurants with no Nutritional Info
I'm just curious as to what others here do when going to a restaurant that isn't a chain or Franchise and has no nutrition table. Or when going to dinner at other's houses. I have dinner with family once per week and eat out maybe once per fortnight. It isn't something that worries me, I am just wondering if/how others on…

Storing eggs in the fridge
I am really sorry if this is not the correct thread for this. I have searched Google for an answer to this but haven't found anything responding to my specific question. Two days ago I made an egg curry using this recipe http://www.girlcooksworld.com/2013/05/onion-and-yogurt-egg-curry.html, except with extra vegetables in…

Dry Kidney Beans
I really like websites which inclide the nutritional information of recipes. On theae sites I have been searching recipes which use dry kidney beans but can only find recipes using already cooked ones. So I am looking for dinner recipes from dried beans with the nutritional information included. I have made tacos/…

Home-made High-protein Yoghurt?
I was just wondering whether or not anyone here makes their own yoghurt. I have been buying chobani yoghurt (plain, fat-free Greek) because it is super high in protein when compared to other yoghurt. But it is also a bit expensive. I have been seeing easiyo yoghurt making kits and also reading online about ways to make…

Fluctuations, 'starvation' myths, and me freaking out...
Okay. I know there are many threads like this but the ones I have read seem to contain a logical explanation (eg. menstruation, sodium intake) that can't possibly be the case for what I found when I weighed myself. I am 162cm tall. My goal weight is 55kg. For the past month or so, I have been eating 5000kj (1200cal). I…
