maize Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) What is it with avocados. I hate avocados. LOLWhat!?! How can this be? Avocados are the most incredible, awesome, amazing fruit ever. They're really good with bacon too. (Pondering whether we can still be friends... ;) ) Edited March 22, 2016 by maize 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucyStoner Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 What is it with avocados. I hate avocados. LOL You also hate onions and cilantro though, so maybe it's an adversion to tex-mex. No worries, I'll eat your share of onions, cilantro and avocado for you. So they won't go to waste. I'm generous like that. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucyStoner Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Ugh, don't get me started on the fat free half and half. I just can't even... And yes, my mother buys it too. Dare I ask what the heck is in fat free half and half? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Dare I ask what the heck is in fat free half and half? If I remember right it is non fat milk, corn syrup, and corn starch. Could be wrong, but that's the basic idea. I can't decide what bothers me more, how stupid the idea is or that they call it half and half when it isn't half cream half milk. I think the inaccuracy of the label bugs me the most. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 There is no one rule that applies to all humans. Do what works for you. But don't be too surprised if that needs to change from decade to decade. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 Ok, let me correct myself on the words I chose. I shouldn't have said I lost weight on low fat. It was really low calorie, which may not be the same thing but i was using them interchangeably. I do buy some reduced fat items, like skim milk and reduced fat peanut butter. I use very little of each. We buy some processed foods, like spaghetti sauce and tuna helper (I actually put canned chicken in it because it taste better!) I still think I eat pretty good. I do know I should be more active, but tht just isn't going to happen anytime soon. I admire those of you who exercise on a regular basis. I just can't do it!

How low? I was on around 1100 calories per day when I truly lost weight, but I was also exercising. I was hungry all the time. I was told to up the calories, so I went to 1300-1400 and I gained weight or completely stalled each time. That was when I was younger, pre-kids. After kids I did lose some on 1200 calories, but I also exercised and I never got back to pre-pregnancy weight. It is a horrible battle for me. I am also tired of people giving me advice, it all contradicts and people are adamant that I am not losing because I haven't followed their prescribed plan. :glare: Sometimes it includes MLM junk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could start walking today, and build it into your daily routine - If you want to. It's going to be a harder to choose when you discover that you can't.

Night Elf Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 What do you mean by really low calorie? How low? I was on Weight Watchers so counted points, but it probably works out to be 1100 to 1200 calories and I do not exercise. I don't have too much of a problem with hunger because I drink tea, and found a cappucino cocoa that I like. If I am feeling especially hungry, I have a snack like berries or raw veggies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cappuccino cocoa? Does that have calories? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Elf Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 A cappuccino cocoa? Does that have calories? Yes, it's Hills Bros Double Mocha Cappuccino. It has 50 calories. It's also sugar-free which means it has Splenda. It's found in the instant coffee section and contains instant coffee but it's way more like cocoa than coffee.
