But the anger will probably cause you to get hungry soon after. and before you know it, you'll have consumed more calories than you burned. better find some other way to burn calories than anger!

Sister I don't want to burn even 1 calorie,I think my all my calories burned because of my anger.
Oh I found reason ....... ^o)
 
lol.. sis purple I think you are probably an ectomorph. You have very fast metabolism and it's not easy for you to bulk up :statisfie. How blessed you are!
 
Probably one of the most fattening most decadent drinks I have come across and at 12 oz only is the
chocolixir_promo-1.jpg
Godiva Dark Chocolate Decadence Chocolixir 660 calories if you can believe that even a 16 0z Mocha Frappuccino is only 400 calories .. so yeah a very quick way to pack on the pounds if you just want senseless calories.. When I went on my weight loss journey I just made/make alot of different choices even when desiring to be decadent I make different choices. I think it is easy to take it off and put it on if you you'll simply take the time to write down anything you do, including activities.. 10 minutes on a stair climber is 141 calories.. and everything is made so easy to calculate calories for you that if we all make conscious decisions of what goes in and out we will be at our ideal weight with some discipline. I don't subscribe to this diet or that diet... and I feel terrible for anyone who tells me I am restricting carbs or I am restricting this because it tells me that they don't get it.
I am of course talking about otherwise normal healthy people who have been cleared from rare metabolic disorders...

:w:
 
660 calories?! That's more than a meal!

I agree that once you actually write down your consumption and expenditure it is much easier to know whether you're going to lose weight or gain weight. I think many people don't bother to try it because it sounds too troublesome but once you see the results I'm sure you'll continue doing it and over time it does get easier. For me I just use myfitnesspal.com as it has a pretty big food database which is mostly user-submitted so you have to be careful with which one you add to your diary.
 
i avoid such stuff altogether. rarey do i eat desserts, although once in a while i do. a few years ago i realized that i wasn't losing weight because of a few cookies i ate at college. so i stopped them, and at first it was difficult. i kept getting cravings like i was addicted, but after some time i overcame that and alhamdolillah. i don't have a problem with weight gain, my wieght is stable, but i wasn't losing any weight because of the sweets.
 
I have been eating this for a while now and I love it. Egg white omelette with mixed veggies! shiitake mushrooms! small sardines! The only problem is I think it is too LOW on calories!

I like this Alfred Hitchcock picture.. where you focus on one object and dim fade what's behind.. was that intentional? how did you do it?
 
Egg by itself only has 100 calories. however, if you fry it, then it has more calories from oil. if i ever have egg, it only contains 1 tsp oil but i rarely have it. i like it boiled better.

how is the egg omelette low on calories? is it not fried?

Thank you sister bluebell! Actually it was intentional AND artificial! I did it in Photoshop, mainly to hide my messy table! And sis writer I think a whole egg is less than 100 calories and if you remove the yolk it is about 16 calories. Personally I use olive oil and only a bit just so it won't stock to the pan. At most thr omelette is probably about 200 calories more or less. How many calories do you usually consume in a meal?
 
brilliant .. what program did you use? and were you asking me personally of my caloric consumption or in general? I have about 1200 calories sometimes less sometimes more but I usually stick to 1200 so I try to make it worth my while else I feel hungry .. like right now.. you can tell I am starving when I watching the food network.. I don't recommend anyone put their body in starvation as it slows down metabolism ...

well, i just don't like egg without the yolk. if i'm gonna eat it it will have the yolk. & 100 calories is not alot at all, however, since the yolk has a lot of cholestrol, one should eat it less.

i try to consume about 1400 - 1600 calories in a day. one shouldn't consume too few calories because then the body becomes starved and after a few days, the person starts binging, which will only make you feel like a failure and make you lose the battle. the best thing to do is to eat a little less than your daily requirement and then exercise to burn off calories and build muscle. if you walk an hour, that burns 300 calories.
 
I used the Lens Blur effect in Adobe Photoshop CS5 ;) I have a dslr camera but it's been ages since i took it out for a shoot, I should really remove the batteries soon..

1200 and 1400 sounds fine for women I think :) Guys probably need a bit more or else they'll starve!

I used to need my yolks in my eggs as well but once I put a whole bunch of other goodies in it I don't miss the yolks that much. It's ok to put one in every now and then but I don't even do that unless I accidentally dropped the whole egg in the bowl then I'll go ahead and cook it anyway. I seriously love eggs, I know some people can't stand it hehehe.

I am actually not a very good cook but nowadays with youtube and all there are so many recipes I feel like trying. I saw one about Tuna Patties. I made it and it tasted horrible.
 
yes men shouldn't go below 1500-1700.. that's just the calories needed to run your body functions daily.. probably need a bit more depending on BMR height current weight etc.

I also took up cooking of late and for every success story I have ten failed ones..
 
It depends a little on activity levels and height/size, but 1200 calories is very little for a woman. Even if aiming to lose weight, the calorie intake should not drop below 1200.

The UK Department of Health Estimated Average Requirements (EAR) are a daily calorie intake of 1940 calories per day for reasonably active women and 2550 for men. That's to maintain weight, rather than trying to lose it.

Don't make it so hard on yourselves, girls. Just try to be more active, leave the car at home, get one stop earlier off the bus and walk the rest, take the stairs instead of the lift, etc. Every little helps!
 
wow-precisely why British women are the fattest in Europe:

Anyone undertaking a diet for the first time unless they know what they're doing should check with the experts and have a physician or dietician oversee their progress. The advise given here isn't intended as a substitute to visit your GP nor intended to treat or cure anyone!
 
Purest Lily, the advice from the U.S. Department of Agriculture doesn't seem all that different - bearing in mind that this particular advice is for sedentary women, not active ones.

Do you know of different advice from a medical perspective?
I was slightly surprised that in the US the recommendation on calorific intake comes from the Department of Agriculture. I imagine that they might have their own bias towards consuming food ...

Sedentary women require the fewest calories per day, especially overweight or obese sedentary women. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, sedentary adult women ages 19 to 25 require about 2,000 calories per day, sedentary women ages 26 to 50 require about 1,800 calories per day and sedentary women ages 51 and older require about 1,600 calories per day to maintain their body weight. According to Medline Plus, if you're sedentary or very obese you'll require about 10 calories per pound of your desirable body weight per day for weight maintenance, and if you're over age 55 or have a low activity level you'll require about 13 calories per pound of your desirable body weight on a daily basis.

I found an excellent vid on you tube by a guy who's been drinking honey and black seed three times a day. I was only able to listen to the audio as his awrah wasn't appropriately covered or else I would've posted it.

The rapid weight loss drink was:
1tsp honey
1tsp black seed poil
1tsp cinnamon.

He claims that the fat just melts and you can see the results almost straight away. One thing I need to make people aware of is that honey should be avoided if you suffer from bile. I am not sure what that is. However, if you do want to take honey then adding vinegar to it will neutralize the harmful effects. (Medicine of the Prophet - insha Allah will provide page number later).

honey and black seed have excellent properties but like anything if not used in moderation can cause problems.
I am curious what you mean by suffering from 'bile' and by what means is the fat 'melted' from the body.. fat by its nature is hydrophobic and stays in relatively anhydrous environment like the connective tissue as adipoctes.. gives people that cottage cheese appearance. Lipolysis occurs under influence of hormones and usually the body breaks down other sources of energy first before it resorts to beta oxidation. Since fat itself is used in the body in the precursor compound 'cholesterol' from which all other hormones are made as well the composition of the cell wall itself.. anything in excess or out of balance goes in the form of lipoproteins HDL, LDL, IDL etc.
Did the fellow happen to mention what role honey plays in this? I am not doubting that it does but would like to know the name of the compound that plays a part of it.

A person should have a balanced diet which means getting all of your calories in your diet in a Nutritional Balance of 40%-30%-30%. That means 40% of calories from Carbohydrates, 30% from Protein, and 30% from Fat.

I dislike very much the term dieting .. what it is is a life style change where one gets all the nutrients their body needs to function properly without deprivation and to sustain that for life.. not go on this diet or that diet for 6 weeks and then put it all back. This actually changes the composition of the body when people crash diet and they put the weight back on they tend to put it back as fat not muscle...

:w:
 
bile - isn't that the substance made by the gallbladder which helps in digestion of fat and oils?

in anycase, it's so true that any weight loss program has to have exercise included in it, otherwise you lose mostly muscle.

exercising has many benefits (and i think talking about it is better than talking about food as food topics arouse my appetite!). exercise helps you burn calories. it builds muscle & more muscle means more calories being burned because muscle needs energy. while fat just sits doing nothing. it doesn't burn calories. exercise also makes you feel better. do you know if you become an exercise addict, you do a lot of it and it makes you feel wonderful!

so do some exercise daily and watch how it makes you feel. i like to walk while memorizing the Quran or revising or when doing daily zikr, in addition to other exercises for muscle toning etc.

some exercises may also help in lowering appetite. i've seen this effect in situps. just do like 40 - 60 situps and it'll lower your appetite.

honey must have some benefits. i drink it with a herbal medicine i'm taking and i wonder if it has has any effect on my appetite?
