Steel cut oats
Ok so I purchased a container of the 365 Organic Steel Cut Oats and have tried it a couple times, but can't say that I'm in love with it yet. I'm trying to swap out my quick microwave oatmeal for organic steel cut oats because I do try to eat organic when I can. Maybe I haven't made it right or found the right recipe for…

Going through old pics.. One Year Progress! (w/ Pics)
I was going through some old pictures and found some from this time last year.

You can literally see my chubby cheeks and stomach popping out of my shirt in my before…

I recently read an article about how our bodies aren't designed to handle wheat and grains very well and that it causes tons of people to develop diabetes, as well as heart conditions. I wish I could find the article again but a cardiologist in the article explained that by getting his patients to cut carbs (besides fruits…

retraining my diet after fasting
So I fasted for Ramadan for 30 days. I was only allowed to eat between about 8 pm and 4 am. I ate once at 8 pm and then had something light at 4 am so I'm used to fewer, bigger meals. Recently I've been eating a massive breakfast (because my body's saying feed me!) and then I'm not hungry for lunch. I can't concentrate if…

When do you log walking as an exercise?
Ok so I live in a big city and end up commuting everywhere by walking/train/bus which adds a lot of incidental walking in there, as I don't have a reason to own a car. I realize that some people log walking as an exercise. I did in the beginning if it was a long distance but was curious as to when people log walking as…

skim vs. whole milk?
I've read a lot of debate on this topic so I was hoping someone here could shed some light. I hear some people say its very bad to drink whole milk because it's fattening, while others say they drink it all the time and it doesn't do anything to them. Does it really matter which one you have for weight loss - skim or…

Anyone else cut what used to be a food group for you out of your diet and had it change the way your body feels for the better? I still can't believe I haven't had pizza in over 3 months.

are we slowing down our metabolism?
MFP has me at 1200 cals a day. My maintenance is about 1700 cals a day. My question is.. when I hit my goal weight, will I have slowed down my metabolism so much that when I start eating 1700 cals a day again I will start gaining weight or will my body just go back to normal? I plan to keep exercising even after hitting my…

going over on sugar?
I've recently started strength training so I've kept my macronutrient ratios close to that of a body builder during a cutting phase: 1200 calories - 40 carbs / 35 protein / 25 fat. The problem is that I always seem to go over on sugar even though I stay in line with my macro nutrient ratio. I eat a lot of fruits and drink…
