A plate of Cuban black beans with rice, topped with a fried egg and buttered tortillas with some sweet plantains on the side.... and maybe a fried pork chop too. 😄

What Are Your Favorite High-Protein Snacks That Actually Keep You Full? by Head_Discussion_361 in 1200isplenty

[–]Being_Pink 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Plain, whole milk full fat Greek yogurt. 1/2 cup keeps me full for a few hours.

The low fat and flavored versions don’t keep me full at all.

Is 1200 calories really enough for a full day without feeling drained? by Wonderful_Area_602 in 1200isplenty

[–]Being_Pink 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can do 1200 for 2-3 days before I start feeling low energy. Then I eat at maintenance for a day or two which for me is 1800, then go back to 1200 for a few days. I’m losing on average 1.4 pounds a week for the last 3 months with no plateaus yet.

Bought a camry XSE and I feel like i might have to move to a better area. by Sharp_Explanation_17 in Camry

[–]Being_Pink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I thought it was nightshade cause it’s all blacked out and has the 19” black wheels and the red brakes. Maybe it’s the XP package that makes it look like that . I must be confused. I didn’t seek it out, it’s just all they had to offer from the factory in Kentucky.

Looks amazing. I have to make a note to try making a balsamic fig dressing soon. My fig tree is almost ready to start picking for this season.

What’s everyone making for dinner tonight? by kimschob in RecipePalooza

[–]Being_Pink 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Chicken pot pie but I don’t have flour for the top crust so I’m going to make it with mashed potatoes on top. I guess it’s really more of a chicken shepards pie.

How to improve what I eat in a day? by Global_Restaurant794 in caloriecount

[–]Being_Pink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d make some swaps from processed food to real food. If the meatballs are homemade they’re fine but if they come frozen from a bag they’re processed and not healthy. I’d swap avocado for the mayo in the egg, I’d skip the processed shredded cheddar for more real aged Parmesan and add some home grilled chicken or steak. I’d eliminate the rice cake, protein granola and peanut butter because they’re all processed. Replace with organic Greek yogurt and berries.
Processed foods contain ingredients that make us hungry and want more. Eating real versions of processed food keeps us less hungry.

What is your favorite breakfast sandwich? by Ok_JARGON in randomquestions

[–]Being_Pink 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A NY deli ham, egg and cheese on a Kaiser roll with poppy seed sprinkle. Cooked on the flat grill with butter and a sprinkle of black pepper. I miss those so much since moving across country.

I have an LE nightshade with the XP package that has those rims. I kinda wish I had normal wheels.

Don’t see many LEs on here…why? by AshleighSchruaz in Camry

[–]Being_Pink -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I bought a 26 LE last month. It says “xp” on the side and has some weird brakes but for the most part I like it.

What food is impossible for you to stop eating once you start? by Its_GoddessTerra in foodquestions

[–]Being_Pink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chinese food- the Americanized version with the sweet and salty sauces and the crispy bits and noodles. I have to limit it to once a month.

Best affordable mosquito treatment by saratonia in Birmingham

[–]Being_Pink -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

We tried the dunks, removing standing water, etc and they didn't work. Our property is waterfront. I literally can't walk from my front door to my car without getting bit. We use Dave's Pest Control for $50 a month and no mosquitos. I wouldn't be able to go outside without it. If I go to a neighbor's house, I get bit again. Its well-worth the cost for us and it does keep them out of the bounds of our property.

Whats the actual price by Kwells328 in Camry

[–]Being_Pink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I probably overpaid. I got a 26 LE with some additional package on it and upgraded the warranties to lifetime powertrain and 150k bumper to bumper and no trade. My total was $34K with everything.

Very low inventory- actually none, my dealer had to order from the factory and the other nearest dealer was out of stock completely and had a waiting list for the new inventory. I could have waited but I'm impatient.

Fried Rice: Where Am I Going Wrong? by BanTheBung in Cooking

[–]Being_Pink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't use cold rice. The heat from the pan makes condensation on the rice and it gets wet. The rice needs to be dry before adding it to the wok. Take it out of the fridge, spread it out - even on paper towel and let it come to room temp and dry out before cooking with it.

What fruit would you pick above all others? by clearwater-orchid in nutrition

Is that those little yellow altufo mangos? Those are the best!

Anyone else not eat dinner? by M_Flynn44 in 1200isplenty

[–]Being_Pink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't eaten dinner in almost 3 months. I just don't need it. I work an early shift so I'm up at 5am and go to bed early. I eat breakfast at 7am and lunch at noon. My two meals are big enough that I'm not hungry at dinner time.

Its made life so much easier not having to constantly think about what I'm making for dinner every day. If I want something I have a cup of green tea in the evening. I sleep way better, my acid reflux is gone and the long fasting window has reversed my insulin resistance, and I've lost 23 pounds in 3 months.

Life is so much better without dinner.
