Diet Advice!

[Seshat]

DO NOT WANT. My butt's huge. Need bigger boobs.... or really just a smaller butt. I have wide hips, and the fat mostly accumulates right above my butt, on the upper part of my hip-bones.

Then do squats. And other exercise.

Squats build up your gluteal (butt) muscles. For you, they'll give the fat a firmer base to 'ride' on, and make the butt look less flabby and more muscular. The additional exercise is to help burn the fat.


Telephone Angel, I just did a pounds to kg conversion. I probably still weigh more than you. I know I did when I last hit the scales. I've hovered stably between 95 and 105 kg for many years, and 210lb is close-enough to 95kg.

But muscle weighs more than fat. And muscle is GOOD. Hit the Google Images page for 'body builder'. If you don't look like that, you definitely don't have too much muscle to be healthy. If you do, check with your doctor - it's possible (difficult, but possible) to be over-muscled, and it's definitely possible to have too little fat!

Anyway, if you weigh 150kg and it's all muscle, bone, body organs and just-enough-fat, you're healthy. If you weigh 150kg and 50kg of that is fat, you're morbidly obese. The number doesn't matter! It's the body composition that matters.

How about someone posting what they actually buy at the supermarlet and how they convert it into meals? Especially lentils I love lentils.

Like I said I can spend a huge amount in the supermarket and come back with nothing to eat other than sugary stuff.

didnt we do this on like page 2?

edit: page 1, even

Protein: Lean Beef, Pork, Chicken, Turkey, Tuna, Cottage Cheese, Egg Whites, Fish, Protein Powder

Carbohydrates: vegetables, multi-grain breads/bagels, oats (steel cut or quick oats), fruits (the most caloric dense you can find prunes, dates, raisins, berries), whole-wheat pasta, brown or white rice, sweet potatoes, yams, and Ezekiel products.

Fats: Olive Oil, Egg Yolks, Fish Oil, Flax Oil, Nuts, Natural Peanut Butter, Almond Butter, and Avocados.

Theres a starter list of delicious, healthy foods.

If its really that much of an issue and you're feedign only you, create five meals. Five small meals and eat nothing but those five small meals for 2 weeks. itll be long enough that you get it in your head about portion sizes, healthy eating, etc and you can branch off from there.

edit II: page one also has my salmon aux lentilles. change out salmon for chicken if youre budgeting.

uh sorry, I didn't see it as breakfast and lunch and dinner for one week although it does give some things to buy.

I've made fish omelettes for breakfast. You could make chicken salad sandwiches (low carb, swap out bread of romaine lettuce leaves), put a pork shoulder in the crock pot with some veggies and thats a number of dishes (including pulled pork sandwiches, find a bbq sauce without high fructose corn syrup). Peanut butter is something i eat by the spoonful when I havent gotten enough fat in my day. If you're not a morning person, or a breakfast person, a couple spoons of peanut butter, little bit of last nights <whatever> and a cup of coffee is fine.

The reason I just dont put out meal recipes is because i dont know what you eat. I eat some weird shit. I make a point to eat more ethnic foods because they involve more spice, flavor, and its new and keeps me interested. And I'm only feeding me.

[Whiskey]

i also dont know what your current diet is like to see the habits that need to be corrected, i dont know your activity level (sedentary, moderate, high activity etc), i dont know if youre allergic to anything, or what your caloric level should be to maintain weight loss.

Three posts in a row, dont kill me people, but TA wanted a recipe. Here's what I made for breakfast

3 eggs, whisk the crap out of them
Cilantro, cut some up
Garlic, cut some of that up too
half a tomato, cut it up into small pieces.
half a mushroom, cut it up into smaller pieces.
Usually i put in some milk but i dont have any right now so i didnt

Step 0, take off your pants. You can't cook with pants on.
Step 1, mix eggs, cilantro, garlic. i used a crap ton of black pepper and a couple shakes of cayenne too.
Step 2, you cant cook without music. Today its "Bad Romance (skrillex remix)" and "Hot N Cold (bimbo remix)".
Step 3, butter your pan and wait for it to bubble.
Step 4, put in mushrooms, cook them until you have an overwhelming mushroom smell in your kitchen
Step 5, dump in egg mixture and let the bottom form (maybe.. 45 seconds or a minute on medium heat. never cook eggs on high unless they're fried eggs).
step 6, shake your rear end to the track and sprinkle tomatoes into the eggs. If you dont shake your rear while sprinkling the tomatoes they WILL NOT come out right.
step 7, mess with your eggs a bunch. i stir everytime I see a bottom form.
Step 8, when your eggs look a bit wet and you think "cool, almost done!" pull them off the heat. the residual heat will cook them the rest of the way without drying them out. Plate
step 9, you see that half mushroom left? repeat step 3 & 4, but with the slices as big or small as you want.
step 10, dice the rest of that tomato.
step 11, put tomato dices on plate, put mushrooms on tomatos, put olive oil on mushrooms and tomatoes.

boom breakfast. I forgot to take a pretty picture so heres a half eaten picture that kind of looks like mickey mouse if you squint.


Jester, you got any recipes that won't murder my mouth that call for a habenaro? I picked one up and i dont know how to use it. I love hot/spicy food but i've heard tales of this pepper and im scared

take em both off, as long as youre not cooking bacon it really doesnt matter

Oh, I thought she did too.

Habaneros are strong, but not impossibly strong, cook anything you like, just use less than you would usually. And for your own sake, don't rub your eyes or privates even after you have washed your hands, the oils won't come off after just a few handwashings and they HURT.

I dont cut peppers without gloves

Hi kids,

I went grocery shopping just for you guys.




19-20$ for whats on that table.

Heres what I got in text form because I scrunched my receipt:

• two bell peppers
• ten roma tomatoes
• one loaf of bread
• one bottle of sriracha
• one box of butter (four sticks per box)
• 8 oz medium cheddar
• half a head of red cabbage
• one ear of corn
• one cucumber
• two lemons
• one yellow onion
• three mushrooms
• 2.43lbs 80% lean ground chuck
• 25 feet of aluminum foil
• one scrubby pad
• dish soap

I would also like to thank TonyF's SC thread for this quote

- Shampoo is shampoo. Go buy the dollar stuff and save thirty dollars.

Because it made me realize what I already knew. Detergent is detergent. 1$ shampoo is the same thing as 5$ "dish detergent" except it smells better. So I bought a little 1$ bottle of vo5 for my dishes. The only thing I "splurged" on was the 3$ bottle of sriracha because it has half the sodium that hot sauce does and just tastes better. That bottle will last me at least four months, if not six (if not longer). I got an 8oz brick of cheese so it only cost me 3$ for that.

Another thing, I found a GREAT example of why you should NEVER rush when you grocery shop (or shop hungry). I was puttering around in produce, looking at the tasties when I saw a rack with some miscellaneous stuff on it. I look on it and its a "quick sale" rack. Basically, stuff is about to expire and needs to go or they lose profit.


For 2$ I got ten tomatoes and 2 bell peppers. They look like all the other produce but I figure I should eat them in the next 2-3 days. Those same tomatoes are 1.99$ a lb right now and bell peppers are 79 cents each.

When I went to the store it was awesome because

Whiskey got two wolf whistles (hay boys )
A crap ton of food was on sale
After buying my groceries I was carrying my heavy ass bag when I look down at it and see A BICEP. Motherfucker yes \o/ *flexes*
I made a joke with the bus driver after I realized my transfer doesnt work same route. When I went to put money in, he told me to not worry about it and just use my transfer.
FREE SMOOTHIE DAY AT BOSTON MARKET

fuck yeah, smoothies \o/


So in conclusion, eat like Whiskey and you get wolf whistles from attractive men hanging out of trucks and sexy biceps.

Supermarket list:

* 1 pack bulk meat, from the butcher's. (I don't know about there, but here the butcher stores often do 'family packs' and 'bulk packs' of assorted meat. One of these provides my family with enough meat for three or four weeks, so we package it into one-meal sizes and freezer it.)
* Pack of freezer bags to portion the meat with, if we're out.
* Stuff like dish soap and laundry detergent and tissues and TP and other non-foods, as needed.
* Frozen veggies, enough for four or five serves per day per person for a week.
* Fresh veggies that keep well, eg potato & onion & carrot.
* Fresh veggies that look good and that we'll eat in the next couple of days.
* Fruit - one or two serves per person per day. Some that keep well, others to be eaten first. (Except when the apricots are ripe. Then we harvest straight from our tree. YUM!)
* Leafy greens to be eaten that day or the next, two serves per person.
* Bulk pack rice, if needed.
* Bulk pack pasta, if needed.
* Dry goods such as lentils, beans, barley, if we're out.
* Soup bones/oxtail/casseroling meats, if not included in the bulk pack and if there's none in the chest freezer.
* Cheese, butter, olive oil, spices, if we're out.
* Some sort of treat foods, or the ingredients to bake/cook them.

I wish I had a butcher in my area, i'm so jealous. And you listed barley on your list. I have like a good pound of barley sitting in my cabinet that someone gave to me but i have absolutely no clue what to do with it.

edit: also, i really REALLY like http://www.epicurious.com as a recipe website. The "advanced" search has a ridiculous amount of options.

You could make chicken salad sandwiches (low carb, swap out bread of romaine lettuce leaves)

When I was a kid I used to eat tuna rolled up in lettuce leaves. Yum.

And you listed barley on your list. I have like a good pound of barley sitting in my cabinet that someone gave to me but i have absolutely no clue what to do with it.

I can't remember what magazine it was but I came across an article that listed various "alternative" whole grains and what you can do with them. I'm helpful, I know...

allrecipes.com is another good recipe site. You can search for recipes by ingredients, too.
