What are your personal healthy eating recipes?

[Anonymous]

I'm interested in dropping six pounds. 105 now, goal is 99. I want collarbones that POP! So...please share your tried and true healthy eating recipes! Anything from a juice you've made before or dinner recipes or just ideas for snacks, etc...

My mom made this juice thingy last night that is REALLY delicious even though it sounds so awful lol.

INGREDIENTS!
Swiss chard
Mint
Kale
Apple
Lemon Juice
Turmeric Root

I'm drinking it now and...it doesn't suck. :D It tastes like...water. Sweet water.

PLEASE SHARE! :D

I don't make anything special, but if I was to lose weight I do the following things.

I make sure I drink 8 glasses of water.

For breakfast I have a green smoothie. Which has kale, spinach, lemon, blueberries and ginger.

I also have prunes and cereal or one slice of bread with a fried egg and tea, followed by an apple.

I am South Asian, so I love my curry! I eat rice and curry as usual in the afternoon.

And in the evening I have a green salad. I use broccoli, carrots and asparagus and toss it up with vinegar, olive oil and vegetable seasoning.

I also do an hour and a half on the treadmill and try to tone up my arms, legs and stomach by doing exercises related to those areas.

And I try not eat after 7.

[Asker]

Thanks for the recommendations- I totally didn't see this response lol. Your green smoothie sounds really great :D what time do you go to bed? i can't imagine not eating later than 7 :o

[Prettygurl12]

Why is your goal 99? 105 is pretty light. I'm 105. Are you sure you don't just need to build muscle?

[Asker]

I don't want muscle, I just want more...prominent collarbones :p You're probably taller than me at 105, I'm 5'1.

[Prettygurl12]

I'm 5'4...but the thing is...muscle is good for you, and women don't bulk like men. If you gain muscle, you'll get collarbones, be healthier, be stronger, not look so soft, and look slimmer. Tightening your muscles reduces fatty deposits and makes features like collarbones more prominent. Starving yourself will make you thin, yes, but slower than working out and you won't look as healthy and as attractive as you would if you had achieved it by working out...just my two cents, but by all means, you may get there however you want :)

[Asker]

Hmmm. I feel enlightened :p so what kind of workouts would you recommend? :D

[Prettygurl12]

You don't even really have to use weights. You can take up running, do abdominal exercises, push ups...basic floor exercises. In addition to a balanced diet, you should see results.

[Asker]

I already do crunches, elliptical. and I "try" to do push-ups lmao. I guess I can try harder to build some arm strength. Thanks for the tips :D

[Prettygurl12]

Yup. If you're going for collarbones, why not just go for a total body makeover and be healthy all the way around? Running gets your legs, butt, and torso in shape, while losing fat from your body and making collarbones more visible.

[Asker]

I run on and off. Like every other week. It sort of...bores me :p But I suppose I could try to make it more regular :)

[Prettygurl12]

Trust me...that first week is horrible - making yourself get up and go, but if you can make it through the first week...it becomes an addiction. :p

[Vegvisir]

I don't eat anything fancy when I cut, just cut the carbs and fat and eat more salad. Usually that consists of eating the same stuff all the time, salad/egg whites/chicken. I will put my carbs in preworkout for the energy, get burned off straight away

If you want snacks eat fruit/veg, celery is great if you don't mind munching on pure water. If you really have to, you can eat natural fats (I'd say peanut butter but you americans stick message in everything for some reason)

[Asker]

Hmmm... celery makes my nose hurt :p do you eat it with some kind of dip? Also, what's "stick message"?

[Vegvisir]

Oh god, replace message with MSG. Must be autocorrect lmao

I don't really put dips with it, just adds calories. I do use some things for my normal meals though, sometimes I will work in some salsa or zero fat mayo, so I guess you could use anything like that

[Asker]

LOL. I understand. Actually, my mom is super anti-MSG, so I don't buy things that have it :) And I agree about the adding calories bit...maybe I should just deal with it raw :D

[biggie90]

That juice actually sounds good turmeric is really good for you its anti cancer too.

Protein Pancakes

Half Cup oats

1 whole egg

handful or 2 blueberries

1 large scoop choc protein powder

2 tbsp honey.

mix it all up in a bowl and mush the blueberries a bit.

pour into hot pan sprayed with non stick spray. cook 2-3 min on each side.

add more honey. blueberries really keep it pretty moist.

Awww yeah protein pancakes.

[Asker]

Yes, turmeric is awesome :D Hard to eat raw though. I tried and was wincing the whole time lmao. Your protein pancakes sound REALLY good...thank you :D :D Do you know how many calories are in that? And this is one serving yes?

[biggie90]

One serving for me... lol. 500 calories give or take oats are like 250 calories, egg 100, protein 100. But you'll still lose weight if you only eat 3 meals a day this can be one of your meals. Good meal for after working out for sure.

[Asker]

Ok great, I will try this out tomorrow morning! Thank youuuuuu biggie :D :D

[biggie90]

Yep lemme how how you like it but do you have the chocolate whey protein? haha/

[Asker]

My dad has some kind of chocolate powder thingy... I think it is whey protein, but I'll have to ask him about it when he gets home :D

[knotme]

That's not how I make my protein pancakes

Oatmeal
Eggwhites
Cottage cheese
Slenda if yiu want, but I don't use
Some cinnamon
Vanilla extract

Blend in blender and you have a batter

[Asker]

This sounds quite good too... do you have exact measurements? :D

[biggie90]

Yeah if you want a smoother consistency blend the oats then add everything else personally I don't mind the extra texture.

[Distant]

My healthiest meal is eating my burger WITHOUT bacon or cheese but... let's be honest, I never eat them without bacon or cheese! -Cries at my impending health problems when I'm elderly-

[Asker]

LOL. Dude...You should keep the bacon and cheese but drop the bread :p I'M GONNA START DOING THAT PRONTISSIMO! :D :D :D

BEVANS! When the Racccooooooon gets elderly...shove him off the balcony! HEHEHEHEHEHEHE

[Distant]

Yes... except the bun has the gluten and we all know how I feel about gluten! I've already ditched those useless vegie garnishes that come on burgers though! Lettuce? Tomato? Onion? Pickle? HA! More like herbivore food-garbage!

Bevans, you may begin building this balcony now. You know... just in case!

[Asker]

LOL. Herbivore garbage...my sister feels the same way. I always get her tomato slice. GIMME YOURS! :D :D

Bevans, no need to do extra work. The stairs would do just as well. Hehehehe :D

[Distant]

Your sister seems like a top-shelf lady! You can have TWO tomato slices! (I'll sneak you an extra one from the kitchen)

Ah, shit. She's right, Bevans! Abort balcony! Abort balcony!

[Asker]

Lmfao. Top-shelf lady... ahahahahhahaha. :D I appreciate the extra tomato slice...maybe I won't have Bevans murder you. MAYBE :D :D :D

[Distant]

Don't forget who pays Bevans' salary! You can't pay him with a pretty face and grass-juice now can you?

[Asker]

Hahahaha how about in hugs? :D :D

[Distant]

Bevans' background at MI6 trained him to be immune, even averse, to hugs

[Asker]

LOL. then how about... TORTURE! i shall TORTURE HIM! and he will love it. :p

[Distant]

I have not considered his masochistic tendencies... or your sadistic tendencies for that matter! Yes, yes -Nods- Well played, madam! Well played indeed!

I think he'll still choose money over torture though. The best that'll get you is some leeway here and there!

[Asker]

I knew that psych degree was going to pay off somehow :p

I HAVE NONE! ...*goes through Racccooooooooooooooon's pockets* hehehe :D :D

[Distant]

You should include this event on your resume!

Hahahaha! Suckerrr! All that was in there is $20! That's only enough to pay Bevans for an hour!

[Asker]

I SHOULD :D :D

20$ you say? Hmmm...I think I can purchase some chronnnnnn for that :D :D :D

[Distant]

I'm fairly sure that any employer worth his (or her) salt would hire you instantly!

Yes, you can buy some in theory. Although, it's more likely that you'll end up with your hood pulled tightly around your face doing silly exercises... not referring to any real-life examples AT ALL

[Asker]

why are people never worth their paprika? WHY? :D

LOL. you remembered that. ahahahahhaa. HE SAID TO! he said i would feel the effect more! i was DUPED! :p

[Distant]

Because, in ancient times, salt was used to preserve food thus facilitating military endeavours much further from home than before. This, and other factors, caused a bit of a "salt boom" in areas particularly close to the Sahara desert where they would, quite literally, trade salt for gold.

You've been had, tricked, hood-winked!

[Asker]

know you're just flexing those neurons at me. SHOW OFF :D

lmfao. I WAS! by what? BY BASIL! hahahaha :D

[Asker]

now* FUDGE! ><

[Distant]

-Flexes neurons- Oooohhh yeah! You like that? 0% body fat on these babies! I'm sure the explanation was too simplistic and did not fully encompass the origins of the value of salt!

Basil or a long line of amateurism and/or malicious intent for monetary gain!

[Asker]

heyhey! i like simple! i think the kale is making me stupid :p

it was probably amateurism, he was a nice dude :D :D his chron was just terrible. that, or i don't know how to smoke right lmao. i'm pretty sure i was just inhaling paper at one point ahaha

[Distant]

I like simple too but you just know some expert on salt is going to pop in here and call me an "idiot" any second now so I felt it was wise to acknowledge its simplicity.

HAHAHAHAHA! "Just inhaling paper...". Your day will come. You shall be so high that Felix Baumgartner would be jealous of you!

[Asker]

LOL. i will protect this comment from getting annihilated by a salt-expert :p *stands in front of comment and stretches her arms out* hehehe :D

LOL :D i had no idea who that dude wasssssssss...oooooooh, daredevil! i shall need coaching from thee, racccoooooooooooooon :D :D

[Distant]

ROFL! How very... heroic of you!

I was referring to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHtvDA0W34I

[Asker]

Thank you, thank you very much :p

:o that should have seemed more intense than it was :D

[Distant]

I'm so lucky to be the recipient of your heroic deed! I shall begin writing your ballad as soon as this hangover goes away!

I don't think I can wrap my head around what you've typed. Underwhelming? :p

[Asker]

:o Hungover? Replaced one vice with another? :o :o :o

I thought he would be screaming his head off or something. I know I would be :D

[Distant]

Hahaha! I think this vice shall never be trodeth again! I'd rather smoke ANY day. No chance at this awful feeling!

Hahahahaha! "Here I go guys! -Jumps- AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! -Gaps for more air- AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

[Asker]

lmfao, damn. that was short-lasting :p

YES! that is EXACTLY what i was expecting :D :D :D

[Distant]

I've had my alcoholic phase in my days of yesteryear!

Better to die doing what you love than die on your couch watching 'Oprah', that's what I always say!

[Asker]

ME TOO. five whole times. and then i got bored. :p

lmfao. i have YET to see a full episode of oprah. or even maybe...ten minutes of one :p I SHOULD TRY HARDER!

[Distant]

5? Went against your faith FIVE times? For shameee!

No, do not do that! What if you die from a brain aneurysm? Then you would have died the exact way that I suggest NOT to die!

[Asker]

actually, must have been 4. the first time i got super drunk. the other three times...barely. 3/4 of a margarita is enough to get me tipsy :o

I DON'T LIKE BEING BOSSED AROUND! I'LL DIE HOW I WANNA DIE! :D :D :D

[Distant]

So... once? You gotta' get drunk for it to count!

Well then fine! Die on the couch watching Oprah! If that's what you enjoy because you're afraid to do what you love!

[Asker]

Lmfao. Yes, just once then :p

AND WHAT WOULD THAT BE? HUH HUH HUHHHH? ...are you talking about my secret interest in ziplining-paintball? :p

[Distant]

D'aweeee! Just once? How key-oot!

I may or may not be referring to your interest in ziplining paintball!

[Asker]

Hahahaha wut! I don't wanna die. :p

STOP READING THROUGH MY DIARY OF SECRETY SECRETS, RACOOOOOOOON :D

[Distant]

We all die someday! :D

I'm supposed to! Don't you know that's what raccoons are good at? Well... not the reading part but they try!

[Asker]

i wanna die when i'm oooold though :p

raccoons totally got to my garbage cans last night :o :o AND i think they get into fights with each other because i keep hearing them screech :o

[Distant]

NEVER! What's that saying? "Live fast and die young"?

That was me and 2 friends... sorry about that and yeah... they weren't fighting. They were... loin-clashing! I left with your hair as soon as they started though! I'm not a creep!

[Asker]

live fast, die young, bad girls do it well :D :D :D

you left with my hair! WHAT! *clutches her bald head* no wonder it felt drafty today... hahahahaha

[Distant]

Never heard of girls doing things well though... OHHHHHHH! Sexist comment intended as a joke in poor taste say wut? WUT!

Yes. Your weave was just too tempting! Sorry!

[Asker]

LOL. Oh youuuuu >< I WILL SET AN ANGRY HIPPO UPON YOUR MAPLE LEAFY BEHIND! :D :D :D

My WEAVE? This is alllllllllllll natural, guuuuurl. And by gurl, i mean, boiiii. HEHEHE :D

[Distant]

Can't touch this! Bahahaha!

Then how did I steal it? Answer me that!!

[Asker]

LOL. it will sit on you. duh :p

you obviously shaved my head :o :o :o YOU CRUEL IMP!

[Distant]

All 105 pounds of you? Puhlease, gurl! I'd just pick you up and run for my life... or toss you in the hippo's mouth :D

Hair grows back! Shave for the brave!!!

[Asker]

IT will sit on you. not me hahahahaha. THE HIPPO APPROACHETH, Perwinkleeeee :p

:o OMG. HELL NAH. i'm fiercely attached to my hair :p

[Distant]

Damn! Bested by my own inability to read accurately! ARGH!! NOOOOO! Wait... you or the hippo? BURN!

-Holds up weave- Then what is this?

[Asker]

LOL. ahahahaha. ... i am the hippo... hehehe :D :D :D

that is your beard-skirt. hahahahaah :D

[Distant]

I KNEW IT!

Hmmm... -Puts it up to my face- :O

[Asker]

hahahaha
oooooh Perwinkle... you so PURTY with that manskirttt on :D :D

[Distant]

You wanna' see my downstairs mix-up? I'm young Gregggggg!

[Distant]

Or would that be an "upstairs mix-down" if I'm going for the whole 'similar but opposite' thing?

[Distant]

Hahaha! "Upstairs fix-down" **

[Asker]

LOL. yes, yes i do want to see your upstairs fix-down lmao :D :D :D *puts on sunglasses*

[Distant]

-Looks around- -Pulls my top down as you're blinded with bright light-

[Asker]

:o :o :o GAMMA RAYSSSSSSSSS... thou have rendered me BLIND, RACOOOOOOOON! ><

[Distant]

Muhahahaha! It's okay. I'll sit on your shoulder and whisper everything you should do :D

[Asker]

HAHAHAHA you would "lead" me to a cliff and tell me to just keep walking. I KNOW YOU! :D

[Distant]

Nooooooooooooooo -Looks up and away contrivedly-

[Asker]

LOL. You can jump after me, you know. Hehehe :D

[Distant]

I'll see how much complaining you do on the way there before deciding :D

[Asker]

lmfao. you know i'm going to be screaming and whatnot. :p

[Distant]

And complaining about how your shoulder hurts because I'm sitting on it, no doubt!

[Asker]

LOL. get off my shoulder! :D :D you can hold onto an ankle or something :p

[Distant]

But doesn't the little advisor devil-guy usually sit on the shoulder?

[llorando]

Green tea, Honey, unfiltered Apple cider vinegar and fresh ginger root. Not the best tasting yet not the worst tasting but it's really good health benefits.

[Asker]

Thanks, sounds great :D

[llorando]

It is great =D, Been drinking it for about a week, already feel better and lost about 6lb's.

[Asker]

Wow :D How much honey and apple cider vinegar and ginger do you put in there? I'm going to have some green tea today and I want to make it your way :p

[llorando]

2 table spoons of honey (or to taste), one table spoon of unfiltered (preferably organic/unpasteurized) apple cider vinegar. As for the ginger, I add a small piece when I make the cup of green tea, as this makes a Green/ginger tea blend. I remove the piece of ginger when I remove the tea bag, than I add the honey and apple cider vinegar. Of course not taking my medicine for a week helped too with the six pounds.

[Asker]

Thank you for elaborating, I will definitely try this out :D :D sucks about your meds though, do you have to go back on them?

[llorando]

No I don't =D =D =D =D.

[Asker]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! :D :D :D *throws confetti* :p

[Anonymous]

Slice up a sweet potato and toss with olive oil. Sprinkle garlic, onion, cayenne pepper and bake until crisp.

[Asker]

Sounds delicious, thank you :D

[Opinion Owner]

Sweet taters are a wonderful food! They're good mashed, too.

[Theguywhomadeurday]

The list is endless.
Haha
But my favourites are
Egg whites.
Chicken.
Yoghurt.
Dry fruits.
Fruit salad.
Peanut butter.

[Asker]

Thanks :D

[abundantlyrich]

What is your height? That's too skinny. 99 pounds? That's not a healthy weight.

[Asker]

I'm short lol 5'1

[abundantlyrich]

oh... i thought you were 5'7 or something, maybe it's the size of your GaG personality here. You're so infectious

[Asker]

Hahaha, INFECTIOUS! That is awesome :p i WISH i was 5'7...alas, I am a small person lol.

[abundantlyrich]

Are you a picky eater or you're just short because your parents are? Most indian girls i know are taller than 5'3 and beautiful.

[Asker]

I love to eat :D my parents are super short. My mom is like 4'11, my sister is like 4'10, my dad is like... i have no idea. He's mad short though :p

[abundantlyrich]

My parents are short too. Five feet? I came out like a giant in comparison to them standing at 5'7 though. It must be the hormones stored in the meat. Every sibs are tall except the youngest brother. He is 5'4.

[Asker]

ahhhh, i love your heighttttt. 5'6-7 is like perfect to me :p and yes...the food over here has so much crap in it...my parents grew up a lot healthier than i did.

[abundantlyrich]

I think it's too late for synthethic growth hormones.

[Asker]

lmfao. probably :p

[abundantlyrich]

I got some useful links for you.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1fiGJxkFWU

Think what you will, it's entirely up to you. :)

[Asker]

Hmmm, will check them out :D thanks :)

[abundantlyrich]

One would have to start young but not as a teen. It's kind of too late.

[abundantlyrich]

you'll welcome. Change starts with outside of the box.

[Asker]

Hmmm, i like the dumbbell training thing that guy demonstrated. I will try that out. Never too late :D

[abundantlyrich]

The question is are you motivated enough to do it as a long term routine? :)

[Asker]

I think so. 10 minutes a day seems like nothing at all. And I want to be as fit as possible :)

[knotme]

Oatmeal made with milk, berries and nuts

[Asker]

Ohhh. Sounds yummy, thanks :D

[knotme]

no problem

[blondfrog]

Onions, lemons, dill,, basal, salad juice, white rice with raisins, brown rice, yellow rice, red rice, chicken and beef.

[NoblesseOblige]

Um. Eat less korean bbq?

:D

[Asker]

I've never had korean bbq :o :o :o

[NoblesseOblige]

You shouldn't anyway. So fat :D

[NoblesseOblige]

www.mybodygallery.com/photos-9577-body-shape.htm

Here is inspiration. So hot...

[Asker]

Lmfao. I don't care about legs, I want poppy collarbones! :D

[NoblesseOblige]

You're doing it wrong! :D
