Only got as far as this... :/

"The elasticity of your skin depends on how long you were obese. It doesn’t matter if you dropped pounds quickly or slowly. The longer it was stretched out, the less likely it is to bounce back. ... A lot of it has to do with age and genetics, too, she says. “Everyone starts to lose [elastic tissue] as they get older.”

I don't know that if this will satify you but you can use it to search recipes by keywords like ingredients and filter them with diet tags like low carb, high protein etc. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.solinno.recipyapp

Do you like your water lukewarm or cold? If you like it cold get a large bottle/mug with a straw, fill it with ice in the morning and keep filling it throughout the day. I use this one. I can easily down three of these a day, as long as the water is cold.

I bought some fancy keto hot chocolate from Amazon that helps me. I try to avoid sweet things in general but sometimes you just need chocolate. here is the link https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076GSHK54/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Currently using Health and Nutrition Guide This Much to get quick, easy and healthy recipe or meal or snacks ideas to stay on track with my plan, counting calories with Lose It on the side. With Eat This Much you just program your diet and average daily calories, and it suggests you meals for the day. You can “swipe” on any suggested meal or recipe if you don’t like it to get a different one. You can also create and add your own to be suggested to other users I believe. I think that’s what you might be looking for if you just want ideas of what to eat or what food to buy rather than figuring it out yourself while trying to stay healthy and on track!

Might be useful to know what you eat.

Also trying to eat foods that are more filling, low in carbs, high in protein, maybe high in fat (although the evidence might be very mixed on this, I don't really know).

Once I got a few good staple meals that weren't unhealthy, eating fewer calories became really easy for me (might just be luck too).

Additionally counting calories with a site like chronometer might help, by making you more conscious of what you eat as well as what nutrients are in your food.

Hello I always hear the same question, Keto or Paleo so I did a little bit of research and I create a short ebook about it, it is called "Keto or Paleo", I would love to hear your comments on that, you can find it in this link:

Please let me know how you think of it, and if you like more content like this

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/ will allow you to track everything. If you have a WP7/Droid/iPhone you can also use the app which allows you to just scan what you're eating. Basically you pick a goal, say 1lb/week, and it helps craft a diet and exercise plan for you and tracks it.

Use a minus sign in a Google search to exclude terms.

Frex, "smoothie -greek". Uh... do you like avacado? (:

Interestingly enough, I just looked it up on Fatsecret (and I apologize for not taking this step earlier) and skim milk actually has less sugar than whole. Skim milk is 12.47g and whole milk is 12.83g per cup.

I did not expect that.

Regardless, your point about lactose intolerance and the intended purpose of milk is valid, and I kind of dragged it off into the weeds.

No but it sells. Search for diet books....there are so many and people are buying it.

See, even one book i got that go release 2 days before, are making into top 100 in amazon kindle

https://www.amazon.in/dp/B07W94DS8S I posted only this book, because like u said Beyonce diet, this covers some diets beyond Keto (the world trend today, I dont know y)

Just stay happy...yes its the most vital recipe.

Second, spend time with family and exercise 50:50

Means, 30 mins for YOGA, 30mins for something a bit strainful. At the age of 50, even brisk walking for 30 mins is a good strenous exercise.

Eat everything...in limit. PERIOD!

Low carb diets are the best way to go imo, and can be cheap too. The one I've followed is LCHF (Low Carb High Fat) which keeps those regular "hunger pangs" from eating carbs away. Everyone needs to find out what works best for them though.

Re being "too hot to cook," have you thought of getting an electric pressure cooker?. . . even a cheap one (I have the "Instant Pot" brand--best selling-- and Instant Pot has various models at different price points, and even cheaper when on sale, etc). They can be used on hot days and no heat escapes (and also no food odors), and are also good for cooking those cheap high-collagen meats which can then be frozen in portion sizes, etc. Here's the cheapest one I'm seeing right now at amazon, though are sometimes even cheaper (on Black Friday, Prime Day, etc)...this one doesn't ferment yogurt though if you were interested in that:

You’re welcome! I hope you can find relief! I used to live with chronic acid reflux, taking stomach meds every day, burping up bile all the time, it was horrible. Back then, I had no idea about food and it’s effects on the body and ironically, aside from dr’s telling me to not eat spicy food and tomatoes, I received no relief. Finding relief through proper diet (the one that’s right for you), is an amazing feeling!

You might consider this book which helps those with autoimmune issues and food sensitivities. Hang in there!

I took a look at your Quaker recommendations and I don't think they are for me.
I reviewed the ingredients and noted the second largest ingredient in both of them is SUGAR. I am typically wary of anything that says "instant" on the label.
I would recommend steel cut oats. Make up a batch and keep the batch in the fridge until you need it. Cold, sealed container to keep the water in.
Just add a banana or raisins each morning and your good to go. P.S. cup of Joe helps too.

Look for something like:

I'm not a doctor or nutritionist, so take this with a grain of salt. But my main idea is to ease into it. If you try to go all in, it will probably make the aversion worse.

Have you tried sneaking fruits and vegetables into the food you'd normally eat? Maybe try something like a milk shake with a small amount of fruit. Or Mac and cheese with squash or potatoes in it. My friend makes a VEGAN mac and cheese (which blows my mind) that uses potatoes and carrots for the cheese. It's delicious!

There's a book called More Vegetables Please that talks about getting more veggies in your diet. There's a lot of recipes in it, but the whole first section talks about getting kids to eat and like veggies. And as we all know, kids are damn picky. It has suggestions on ways to hide nutritious goodness in plain foods. https://www.amazon.com/More-Vegetables-Please-Delicious-Whole-Body/dp/1572245905

My other suggestion would be to try to think about it another way. Make a small plate of fruits or veggies and try to think of it as pampering yourself. You're not doing it because you HAVE to. But rather because you're TREATING yourself, because you deserve it gosh darn it.

Congrats on deciding to make a change!

I have lost 110 pounds and my husband has lost over 100 as well. I went from zero activity in my life ever to losing the weight and both of us are now certified Russian kettlebell instructors.

First, for diet, the best resource I have found in my 40 years is this book: Strong Medicine

There is SO MUCH garbage out there in terms of diet schemes. I have done all of them. This is a great book because it's more of a "teach a man to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime" vibe. Meaning, the authors teach you how the body works and why. Then, you make the choices for yourself. The why is done really well too. I've met both authors in person, they're wonderful people.

For physical activity, a lot of people will tell you it's not important in terms of "you can't outrun a bad diet" but I kind of call bullshit. I changed my diet a lot and had marginal results. I kept up with that meal plan and found activities I love (biking, kayaking, and of course weight training) and that was what did it for me. The activities are the kinds where if you love them you want to do them a lot and if you don't fuel yourself properly, you just can't do them a lot or for a long time. The quality of the fuel matters as much as the quantity. (You wouldn't put dirty gas in a race car)

I hope this helps and I hope you like the book.

Hey Fuzzy. One of the biggest suggestions I have for you is figuring out specifically what is going on inside of you that seems to be causing these mood changes.

https://www.amazon.com/End-Overeating-Insatiable-American-Appetite/dp/1605294578

This book is pretty bomb.com, and chock full of the biology that comes into play when eating and dieting. Your mood is getting shitty and irritable because you're getting "intense food cravings for food you can't have," you say? You're going through withdrawal symptoms. Processed food, fried fatty foods, artificial sugars: these all effectively hijack your brain's neurochemistry and make it run wild.

Artificial sugars activate the same neural reward centers that cocaine activates. Eating these foods feels good, and makes us feel good, and does so because, not so very long ago, fats and sugars and salts were all scarce, and so our brain rewarded our bodies with feel good juju so as to motivate us to get more. Pack in the calories during times of feast and plenty so as to survive times of famine. But times have changed, and if you're looking for diet advice, now we're fresh out of famine.

As far as waiting till you're angry to go to the gym? Fuck that noise. Build it into your routine so as to mitigate feeling angry in the first place. Endorphins are a hell of a drug, and are natural pick me ups.

As far as cravings go? Eat more fruits. Salt your meats till you stop craving the shit you crave but can't eat. Lots and lots of water. Then more water, with a willpower chaser. As tough as this is, living a life full of self hate and pity is much, much tougher.

You're asking for help, and that's an awesome step. Know you're not alone, and you're doing your best to progress. Be kind to yourself; don't beat yourself up if you fall off the wagon, but be mindful of it, pick yourself up, and get yourself back on said wagon. Don't give up. Your life is worth the effort.

this one is the one I got. I am on day 4. It is actually refreshing! I have been sleeping a lot, but I am not fighting it. I am looking for the portion control once I am done with it, so thanks for the encouragement. I turn 30 next week so I want to make sure I am as healthy as I can be... :)

I love bringing soups for lunch. I have a thermos container that I love (like this one), so I just heat up the soup while I eat my breakfast and then pack it to go.

For me the soup has to be hearty in order to fill me up for the rest of the day, so potato leek, corn chowder, or lentil soup tend to be my go to recipes.

This can be a really easy thing to prepare before work if you make a big batch of soup over the weekend. Once or twice a month I will make 2 or 3 soups at a time and freeze them in small portions (the size that fits my thermos) and then I have options to choose from instead of eating the same soup every day of the week.

Pasta salad is also a filling lunch - I love pesto pasta salad, with just some spiral pasta, cherry tomatoes, and pesto.
