I’m just waiting for them to hit their expiration date so I can pass them out to everyone in the neighborhood.😈

I agree with most of this, but I’m not part of that knowledge zone 🙂

But one thing remains...

...since I’m already digging through old threads...😉

You wrote that you ate

'steamed vegetables (a bit of everything—peas, broccoli, carrots, green beans, cauliflower) and quick-seared chicken breast
dessert—a banana and an apple'

A banana has 3 carb blocks, and an apple has 2. So, combined with the veggies at lunch, you actually ate at least 6 carb blocks!!!!

How much chicken did you even eat then? Like three whole birds???

I'm done.🙂

So that’s your lunch today 😉

Look, I honestly don't care what you eat 🙂

But I happened to notice some of you posting on gastronomy fish claiming to follow the rules of the zone.

I have a sister 😍 who eats according to the zone, so I've had plenty of chances to see how it actually works—the portions, the ratios, all of it.

It's not like she doesn't have her "cheat days" 😉

But if you're doing that, then it isn't the zone.🙂

Well, damn, if this is actually

fish stew, polenta, salad, some decent Napa Valley wine

Your lunch in the viewing zone—it wasn't exactly hard to pull off.😁

It feels like they’ve been grouping me in with those last remaining relics since '99 ☕

Sigh, if you only knew what I actually eat versus how I look 🤣

I just... I have to run every single recipe by VF9 first ☕

I don't get it. You claim you have zero time and zero motivation to meal prep, yet you choose to eat in the cafeteria?

That's a pretty flawed logic. You’d be much better off prepping simple, balanced meals at home.

I actually went back through my sister's cookbooks and realized this is basically how we've always prepared meals at home. As for the local cafeteria, we didn't even have a clue about this stuff until recently.😉

My sister eats in the zone.

I don't know how you all make this look so easy; maybe you’re just using some oversimplified version 😉 of the plan, because she actually cooks her meals and brings them to work... there's really no way to eat like that 'on the go'.

As for that whole hand/palm/thumb measurement thing, I'd suggest weighing everything at first. I have yet to see 100 grams of meat that actually looks like the size of a normal palm. Maybe a single slice of deli turkey, if you're lucky.

Useful and insightful. 🙂

I’ve already asked her a few times in the weight loss thread exactly when she plans to start eating something again, and more importantly, what she’s actually drinking. 😉😁

I didn't think I needed to spell that part out.

Why on earth would she pay for that?

She'll just head to her primary care physician, describe the symptoms, and more than likely, the doctor will send her straight to get some standard testing done first.

in blood serum and urine 🙂

It definitely works—I'm speaking from my own experience.

Keep an eye on those electrolyte levels.

It’s unbelievable how much chaos a deficiency in the basics can cause.

👍 Regarding this topic—we actually had a similar discussion over at Food Network. 🙂

Reading something like this makes all my aches and pains just disappear 😁

So you’re actually coming here looking for tips on how to make being a bulimic easier? 😕 🙄

Look, you can pick this stuff up at any local CVS or Walgreens. A full kit will run you about $23.

May I just say, this little group of brilliant women is quite charming 😍

I function at my absolute best when I can afford seven hours of sleep during the night followed by an hour nap in the afternoon.
