    meal ideas

    Hey guys! I'm so sick of eating the same old stuff that I wanted to get some meal ideas from the Cathe crowd. Breakfast is usually eggbeaters on toast with a grapefruit and soy milk. But this morning I had a whole wheat english muffin with almond butter and apricot all fruit spread, and some...

    New Healthy Recipie

    I eat a shroom burger once or twice a week! Here's what I do: I get a big portobello shroom cap and a bell pepper (any color) and an onion, yellow or red... cut the onion into slices and halve the pepper. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and turn on the broiler. Wisk together 1 tsp...

    What Are Your Quirks?

    AHHHHH! It's great to know that we all have our unique little obsessions! Here are mine: *I, too, have a number-color association: odd numbers are cool colors and even numbers are warm colors... I hate even numbers. *I carry floss with me EVERYWHERE in fear of something between my teeth. *I...

    MD FORTE

    Hey! Well, I tried a number of creams and stuff, and the combination of differin gel with the tetracyline worked great! It's a matter of finding what works together best for your skin and in what proportions. While I can't say my skin is completely flawless, it is MUCH better than it was! I...

    MD FORTE

    I have been on tetracycline and differin gel for my acne for awhile now, and my dermatologist suggested that I try MD Forte's cleanser and AHA facial cream. She said it will smooth my skin, even out my skin tone, and help to prevent wrinkles (I'm 22)... Has anyone tried this product line? I'd...

    Intuitive Eating Check-in 3/25-3/31

    RE: Bizarre!!!!!! Hey! Well it's been 7 weeks since I've stopped measuring and counting calories, and I will NEVER go back! I DO still measure nuts and trail mix in 1/4 cup portions to take with me places as snacks, but I don't look at it as a certain number of calories... I don't eat them...

    Ivanko or Troy Lite?

    Hey! I don't own any Cathe strength tapes except for Power Hour, which I still haven't gotten around to doing... a friend let me borrow her MIS, and I plan on trying that soon. For my weight training, I do the firm, and it works fine for that! I usually do firm Strength, Tough Tapes 1 and 2...

    Ivanko or Troy Lite?

    I have the Ivanko padded barbell and absolutely love it! It works well for me but some people have complained that it's a little hard to grasp for upper body work. I also have a regular bar, but use my Ivanko almost exclusively. I got it off paragonsports.com with the quick clips, and...

    help with yoga

    For a more relaxing workout, do try Ali McGraw's Yoga Mind and Body. And Bryan Kest's 3 volume series is absolutely amazing. I am also a fan of Baron Baptiste's Soul of Strength. Good luck!

    Intuitive Eating Check-in 3/18-24

    Hi guys! Well I completely understand how easy it is to slip back into the restrictive way of thinking! The thing is you have to catch yourself and recognize those thoughts, and then flip them the finger! It takes practice but the more you do it, the easier it becomes. And I, too, ingored my...

    Intuitive Eating Check-in 3/18-24

    Hey! Well I have come so far... no longer looking at foods as good or bad, and learning that food is not the enemy. I'm learning that if you eat when you're hungry and stop when you're full, you can't go wrong. Easier said than done for sure, but we're all human and can't be perfect all the...

    Good books on nutrition that won't cause relapse?

    RE: Good books on nutrition...Debra Waterhouse Hey guys! Well as I said before, Intuitive Eating changed my life entirely. But I came across another book that could also be another eye opener... BREAKING FREE FROM COMPULSIVE EATING by Geneen Roth... while I wasn't really a compulsive eater...

    Good books on nutrition that won't cause relapse?

    Hey! I too am a recovering anorexic, and I wasn't ready to fully FREE myself from food hell until just last week, after reading INTUITIVE EATING by Evelyn Tribole. Man, that book absolutely changed my life. I have only been practicing it for about a week, and every day is still a struggle...

    Eat to live, not live to eat (the right thing!)

    Hey! I've been working hard this week, trying not to let those restrictive thoughts back into my life! I always hear them but now I ignore them, and they are slowly fading and getting more subtle every day. I have to remind myself to EAT when I'm hungry, that I don't have to wait until it's...

    Eat to live, not live to eat (the right thing!)

    Hey! Sheesh, talk about satisfaction from eating! That's awesome! I am slowly getting there. And the more I eat my "forbidden" foods, the easier it is to eat them in moderation, the easier it is to enjoy them fully, and the less guilty I feel. I read a post in the other forum about clean...

    Eat to live, not live to eat (the right thing!)

    Thanks for the support! It is still hard and I'm just taking things day by day. My new words to live by are: HONOR YOUR HUNGER (eat when you're hungry, no matter if it's 3 a.m. or 3 p.m.- just make sure you really are hungry!) ENJOY YOUR FOOD (eat what you want, eat what sounds good...
