Toxic Diet Tip 1 Slowly begin to reintroduce harmful foods. Suggestions are potato chips, pizza with extra cheese, white bread, milk, milk shakes from edible oil products, fried chicken, fries deep-fried in beef fat, eggs from chemically raised chickens, barbecued steak with a small portion of overcooked vegetables. Include lots of coffee and donuts to insure an optimum toxicity level. Toxic Diet Tip 2 Eat very few raw fruits and vegetables. If you must eat vegetables, make sure the life has been cooked out of them or buy canned. The best fruits are canned and preserved in sugar syrup. Toxic Diet Tip 3 Drink lots of Coke or Pepsi. Canned vegetable juice is fine in small quantities because the enzymes have been destroyed through pasteurization. If you buy fruit drinks made from powder, make sure you see food coloring and synthetic sweeteners and a few unpronounceable chemicals listed in the ingredients. Toxic Diet Tip 4 Eat ravenously as if every meal is your last. Swallow food with the least amount of chewing. Eating your meals in less than three minutes will guarantee minimum saliva content. Use butter as a lubricant. Deep-fried foods will also require less chewing. Toxic Diet Tip 5 Eat as much as your stomach can take. This forces the muscles that support the stomach to stretch out of shape. Try to eat till you feel stuffed to the point breathing is difficult and sitting requires that you loosen the button of your pants. Mixing proteins, starches, and sugars together with lots of liquid will reduce digestion and increase fermentation, which is necessary to create an achy bloating effect and effective high-powered flatulence. Toxic Diet Tip 6 Avoid fiber at all cost. If forced to eat whole-wheat flour, pick the bits of bran from the bread. This will allow the food to pass more slowly through the intestine so the body may absorb optimal toxic chemicals. Toxic Diet Tip 7 Do not exercise. Exercise oxygenates the cells and triggers the lymphatic system to cleanse the body. Try to remain in an inactive, horizontal position. TV watching on a sofa is perfect. Try to take as many snacks as possible to the sofa so you do not have to walk back and forth to the fridge. Toxic Diet Tip 8 Snack regularly during the night so as to curb the body’s natural tendencies to detoxify during sleep. Toxic Diet Tip 9 Attend lots of potlucks for toxic-diet encouragement from others.Do not be embarrassed about going up for seconds, thirds and fourths. Attend every interest carrying donuts and a jumbo coffee in hand in case there is not enough for you.

Create a custom food with 1000 calories and one serving. Whenever you eat something you know the calorie count for, but don't want to use an existing food item, use the 1000 calorie item but adjust the portion size. For example if it is 420 calories use .420 of the portion. 2000 calories use 2 as the portion.

If you weigh in once a week you will see your true progress rather than the teeth of a saw blade. : ) Same time and day each week when possible works best for me.

My droid brought me here too. Damn....did I miss the drama again???? *pout*

Yes, I do. But I close my eyes.

It seems that users add food to the db when they share it. You can make custom foods and meals. For example I made a 1000 calorie item with one serving so I can just add however many calories I want fairly easily to my journal. 400 calories would be .4 of a serving. What is also useful is selecting common foods or meals and making them a favorite meal, adjusting serving size for any variation. Good luck.

I keep a bag of frozen cut mixed fruit in the freezer and when I crave ice cream I put it in a bowl and add some yogurt. Stir just to coat and then I wait a minute until the yogurt freezes and then I have a decadent treat that I enjoy as much as ice cream. Lots of variations in the fruit mix and yogurt to keep it interesting. Berries work best. Peanut butter and toast and dried apricots too. Apricots have good fiber and not too bad on calories.

I did not experience this. Some basic trouble shooting steps: Try the change button under sync and reenter your username and password. If that fails, change your username/password on the site and then change it on the droid as well. Good luck.

I would eat a small amount of the foods that will satisfy me. I find that if eat eat like a rabbit for too long my body craves the things I am not eating, but if I eat "normally" but with smaller portions then I do and feel better. I do not eat diet food. peanut butter meat, eggs and fish whole grains (bread, pasta, rice) bananas beans greens sweet potato milk sauces, dressings and condiments nuts fruits and veggies olive oil avoiding: potato white flour processed foods white sugar drinks with calories aspartame sweet baked goods Also, I read an article some time ago that making your body process a large amount of food with low nutritional value may not be ideal long term, and this is about long term for me. For some reason I could see some logic in that although it goes against traditional thought. Losing it is one thing but keeping it off is what counts.

Choose the shinier one. : ) What I mean to say is it really doesn't matter which one, as long as you are consistent because you want to see change on a weekly basis and either one should do that for you. Good luck.

The guide to weight loss is eat fewer calories than you burn. You can find it in the philosophy section, self help, physics, and right here on this site. :))

Just decide to do it despite all the challenges.

When I did atkins I found a recipe for a "cereal" made from chopped nuts, oat bran (maybe) and soy, from what I can remember. Cereal by its very nature is carbs so I doubt there are a lot of choices. I ate it with cream, which was pretty cool for a diet. Found this link online: http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art16327.asp

I make my own and prefer it to restaurant-made most of the time. Dead easy. If I were to offer tips for better hummous they would be: *Make it with the best olive oil you have. *Roast a whole garlic clove with only the very tippy top cut off and drizzled with a small amount of olive oil on top in the toaster over until it gets dark and soft. You can squirt out the garlic from the "paper" very easily once it cools a little. Your fingers will smell nice for the rest of the day too ; ). Roasted garlic doesn't have the bite of fresh. *Use a generous amount of tahinni (sesame seed paste) and add lemon juice to taste. The lemon juice brings out the flavour in a similar way that salt does. Taste as you go! *Blend in a food processor until it gets very creamy. *Watch "Don't mess with the Zohan" and giggle to yourself.

Ketchup and horse radish makes seafood sauce. I add some hot sauce to it to suit my taste. Don't bother with a little bottle from the store. Fairly reasonable for calories IMHO.

Try this link... FS post: ww points -- kinda sorta back? [url=http://www.fatsecret.com/Community.aspx?pa=fp&m=117068#117068]WW points back...sorta[/url]

There is a greasy monkey plug-in posted in the forum somewhere that will put the ww calculation back on the site; at least there was. I don't use it but i have friends who do and they love it. It is as good as the original I hear. Also very easy to install. Personally, after using ww points in a previous life and being very familiar with the system because my wife uses it, counting calories is a pretty easy transition I think. Also calories are more readily available on packaging and you don't have to do any calculation at all. Pros and cons of points vs. calories anyone?

Not only do I use the android app, but I also use my phone to browse right to the site. The best of both worlds. Awesome.
