Muscle is really the last thing that I am worried about now. But I haven't felt any different in my various muscles, FWIW.

The issue that put me in this condition is that I ate way too much high calorie fatty foods. I've definitely realized and confronted the issue and I have corrected it, I found a well balanced diet...

I lowered the amount of fruit in the smoothie:

16oz water (instead of 8oz)
1 apple or pear (instead of both)
1 bananas (instead of 2)
2oz pineapple (instead of 4oz)
2oz mango (instead of 4oz)...

Making a smoothie is a way for me to enjoy the fruits and vegetables even more than if I was eating them unblended. I've never considered this replacing meals, I figured that each 200+ calorie...

I plan on hitting the gym when I can, but for now all my cardiologist wants me to do for exercise is walking. He says that I have to continue with the weight loss and not exert myself too much until...

In addition to the 700 calories from the smoothie, I am consuming 700-1,100 calories for dinner. That seems like a good amount. How many more calories should I be consuming?

What nutrients should I be consuming that isn't in the fruits, vegetables, and meats that I am eating?


I am eating quite a bit of lean meat for dinner. 1-1.5lbs. of grilled chicken breast, for...

Yes, that is what I am eating in a day. It has been consistently keeping me at a 1/2lb. per day weight loss which my cardiologist said was a good amount to be losing at my current weight.

I...

I planned on it. It's relatively cheap, healthy, satisfying, etc. I know that I have to make major changes in my lifestyle and this seemed to be a good choice.
Is what I am doing really...

I appreciate your response.

At my size and level of activity, any online calculator I have used has told me that I burn from 3,800-4,200 calories per day. The 64oz of smoothie (which I spread...

I'm way too overweight and have been dieting. I bought into the smoothie craze and it's been working well, I have been loosing a steady 1/2lb. per day and I feel very good, much better than I have...

Hey guys, do you put just the leaf into the smoothie or the stalk too?

I have to limit my sodium intake due to heart failure.

I normally enjoy cottage cheese plain right out of the container, I'll buy the low fat 1% and eat it like it's pudding. But after having the...

With my heart failure I would like to stay away from sodium as much as possible, so I'd rather not have my turkey brined at all. It seems as if the only way is to try to find it raw and completely...

The person I asked was the only person in that section and had no idea what brining was.

When you buy the cooked turkey breast from the hot-foods section of the super market (similar to the small cooked chickens you find at Costco and other stores) are these high in sodium? I know that...

Yes, I do. Mustard is fine with some things, but not with tuna/chicken salad, etc. And I prefer mayo with turkey on sandwiches. I do put spicy brown mustard in egg salad along with mayo. It gives...

What's a macro? LOL

At this point I am just trying to loose weight by reducing calories. I'm extremely heavy and figure I can get more into the science of it after I get the bulk off. For now...

It actually is pretty good, I just had a couple sandwiches with it. I can taste a small difference in flavor between the Light and the normal Hellmanns, but it's not a bad or diet type of flavor. I...

I picked up the Hellman's Light by accident instead of the low fat like you guys recommended. But the light is only 35 calories for 14g vs. 90 calories for 13g of normal mayo. So that's pretty...
