Maintaining	Gain during the day	Apr 03 2008 05:01 (UTC)	7
It's the weight of the food and water you've consumed.
The Lounge	This Is Disturbing	Mar 31 2008 23:44 (UTC)	32
Dairy milk doesn't suck and neither does soy milk. I consume dairy and soy products interchangeably, depending on my mood because I like the taste of both. However when I'm surrounded by vegans that lecture on the evils of dairy I choose dairy because it's irritating to hear of why we shouldn't take advantage of being the only intelligent animals.

Are you getting enough iron in your diet? Anaemia causes skin to bruise easily.

I just had buckwheat pancakes. I love them.
Health & Support	What's the Difference between BED and just Eating a lot	Mar 24 2008 20:36 (UTC)	4
BED is a compulsion to eat. You just seem to like eating junk food. You might want to try and make your diet more nutritious but otherwise it doesn't sound like you have any kind of bingeing problem.

Easter is a lovely holiday, whether you're religious or not. If you're not religious just be quiet and enjoy the chocolate :)

She probably tells you to eat more but you ignore her. Either way, you won't gain weight. You won't gain even an ounce of fat.

1336 calories on a bad day. It's offensive to call that a binge.

"THEN WHY EVEN SPEND THE MONEY AND TIME TO MAKE THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE IF NO ONE IS GOING TO USE THEM AS FOOD?? Oh ok, lets spend $30 on ingredients to make these nice cookies just so we can throw them in the garbage! YAY!" Sometimes people bake simply because it's relaxing and a nice activity to do with friends/family. A person doesn't have to bake goods when they could buy them at the supermarket for the same cost or cheaper but they choose to because they enjoy the process.

I thought yellow rice was just white rice flavored with spices. Is that true?
Foods	Trying to cut back on sugar...	Mar 23 2008 00:14 (UTC)	3
I eat around 80 grams of sugar from fruit every day. I've tried to cut back but I love fruit too much and it doesn't seem to adversely affect me so I don't worry about it. You could try eating more of the fruits lower in sugar such as berries, pears, melons, grapefruit. Bananas, grapes, mango, kiwi, oranges, pineapple are among those high in sugar.
Foods	Easter's meal plan.	Mar 23 2008 00:04 (UTC)	6
It's fine to have a few treats on special occasions. The only concern would be that you're going to overdo it by eating rolls, cake, cinnamon buns and stuff all at once along with a large dinner. Maybe you could choose between the cake, rolls and cinnamon buns and then have whatever you've chosen with a scoop of icecream? You won't truly appreciate the taste if you're too full.. I had vegemite toast and a hot cross bun for breakfast, lunch is roast lamb and veggies, and following that I'll have someone light and sweet like some fruit.. Easter for me is more about the wholesome family meal than chocolate and pastries.
Foods	what are you cooking for Easter?	Mar 22 2008 23:51 (UTC)	15
Roast lamb with pumpkin, potatoes, peas, carrots, broccoli, brussel sprouts and gravy for lunch. It's just a typical Sunday roast but it will be so warm and comforting seeing as it's such a cold miserable day.
Vegetarian	Honey	Mar 22 2008 08:35 (UTC)	2
It's difficult to say because everyone has their own definition for veganism. Some people say it's just no animal products like eggs, meat, seafood, dairy, gelatin etc. but then others say the bees get harmed in production of honey and bugs get killed in wine-making yada yada.. eventually you reach a point where it's ridiculous and you have to sweep the ground in front of you before you take a step so that you don't harm any insects like in jainism.. Bottom line is- no one is ever going to agree on the definition of veganism. I'd consider you vegan but other's won't.
Foods	Uh-oh! The spaghetti factory!	Mar 22 2008 05:53 (UTC)	2
You could even ring them up beforehand and ask if they have any alternatives to pasta. That way you'll know for sure how accomodating they are.
Foods	Uh-oh! The spaghetti factory!	Mar 22 2008 05:40 (UTC)	4
Well it is the spaghetti factory.. what do you expect? I'm sure they'd be able to manage steamed veggies and a piece of meat anyway but otherwise, go to a different place?
Foods	Should I feel guilty?	Mar 21 2008 22:21 (UTC)	13
"What on EARTH? I'm sorry, but somehow I doubt a starving person cares if the food they're eating has 1500 calories or 3. Simiarly, I doubt they ponder the difference between a McDonald's happy meal or a selection of gourmet food when it lies in their lap. "It's better off in the bin than making you and others around you fat"? I mean, honestly. I'm trying, really trying, to wrap my head around this statement, but it's feeling a little impossible. I don't think maintaining a healthy diet is going to be the first thing on my mind, should I ever experience starvation. I'm not going to go "HEY, YOU, HOW MANY CALORIES ARE IN THIS THING?" when someone finally throws me a sandwich." WHERE did I say anything about a starving person caring about calories? I get it; starving people want food. BUT this girl and her family and friends are not starving. They have an abundance of food, therefore when they have the choice between healthy food and non-nutritious junk they have NO REASON TO EAT JUNK. "It's better off in the bin than making you and others around you fat" By this I was saying that UNLESS YOU'RE GOING TO GIVE IT TO THE DEPRIVED STARVING POOR PEOPLE you shouldn't be giving it to the likely obese and overweight friends & relatives surrounding you who already eat a lot and probably have no will power. It's common on calorie-count for people to pawn the food they don't deem good/nutritious enough for them to eat on others, but I don't believe that's right.
Weight Loss	OMG! Drinks have calories in them?!?!?	Mar 20 2008 11:03 (UTC)	13
Yes, it's sad to realise that even "healthy" things have calories and even more sad to realise that those foods/drink you once thought were healthy are actually not.

pasta, everyone knows its the ultimate comfort food.
Foods	Should I feel guilty?	Mar 20 2008 09:57 (UTC)	28
All you people here say "give it to someone else" but NOOOO. Don't do that! You shouldn't be giving your junk food to someone else. I get that people are starving, but unless you're actually going to give your food to those starving people it's better off in the bin than making you and others around you fat.
Foods	poppy seeds	Mar 20 2008 05:29 (UTC)	5
Poppyseeds taste nice in baked goods such as breads and muffins. 1 tbsp has 127mg of calcium and .8mg of iron so vegans especially would find consumption beneficial.

The product could have been updated recently. I'd trust the label on the container over whatever it is recorded on CC.
Foods	Should I feel guilty?	Mar 20 2008 04:26 (UTC)	31
Mts2457, I disagree. It's best to put cookies, packed full of sugar and saturated fat in the garbage instead of treating your own body as a trash can or encouraging another person to do the same.
Foods	Should I feel guilty?	Mar 19 2008 20:53 (UTC)	43
Don't feel guilty. You'd feel so much worse you'd if you had gorged on them instead.
Foods	Dark Chocolate question	Mar 18 2008 06:59 (UTC)	4
The higher the percentage cocoa of the chocolate the less sugar so you should always aim for the higher % dark chocolate. I personally don't eat chocolate at all and if I did I think I'd choose small portions of the tastier milk chocolate because the benefits of dark chocolate are only slight- you can get more antioxidants from healthier sources not coupled with the fat and calories. So unless you really like the taste of dark chocolate it's not worth eating at all.
Weight Loss	loss of appetite	Mar 18 2008 03:27 (UTC)	4
Come on. You know you're undereating, you know it's bad, you're probably actually hungry but trying to convince yourself you're not and you made this thread so that people would support you in undereating and reassure you that starving yourself won't make you gain weight in the longterm.
Weight Loss	Can I please get some advice on my screw up? How bad was it?	Mar 18 2008 03:25 (UTC)	2
Atkins is not the way. Can you honestly see yourself depriving yourself of carbohydrates for the rest of your life? Low-carb living likely won't kill you but it's miserable. You're missing out on so many delicious flavours, so many vitamins and nutrients. And why? You could eat a high carbohydrate diet and still be thin and still lose weight. I had 310 grams of carbohydrates shock!horror! yesterday and I'm not fat.
Foods	How many grams of carbs do you normally get each day?	Mar 17 2008 09:28 (UTC)	6
Oh good. It's reassuring to know that other people aren't on low-carb diets either.
Weight Loss	slim/thin girls who 'diet' for compliments	Mar 17 2008 09:24 (UTC)	22
Good for her in refusing the chips! Maybe she wasn't on a weight loss diet specifically but a health one. Either way, it doesn't matter. It doesn't sound like she was just being attention-seeking. It actually seems like jealousy is coloring your view.
Health & Support	anorexics? umm.. how do you explain this?	Mar 17 2008 05:25 (UTC)	7
Maybe your mother told you this story to keep you from becoming anorexic.
