@kosamaofficial

I am not a nutritionist but different diets work for different people. If your trying to loose weight or lower your fat percentage then yes diets work, eating healthy and selective eating choices are vital. Now I used to be a gym rat, worked out continuously everyday and was able to benchpress twice my weight, this would not be possible if I did not diet accordingly to what my favored desired results were at.

@Kassxxkelly Yeah I dislike oily peanut butters. Organic peanut butters are weak.

I stick to fatty processed ones :p.

@WoWkiddymage Wow! not normal lol id be full after 1 serving, it might look small but see those foods are far more filling so it definatly fills you up, i barely eat anyhting white because i find it really gets me craving more of it but brown stuff does full me up so much better plus digests slower, don't find myself craving more of it. Like id put on my plate a quater of whole grain rice, half a plate of vegies (cant at the moment though because of the ecolie thing) and meat or mince.

@emmabee11 ikr? i atleast eat like 4-5 servingsa meal hahaha its notgood for me but im not that fat :) cant beleive how small serving are !

Yes waiter...

I'll have today's Tennis Ball Special, with a side of Hockey Puck.

And some Light End-of-Thumb on the side please.

[emmabee11]

man i cant believe that's the only bit of rice or pasta you can eat, today i made an effort though, my parents always make huge platfuls of it so i only ate half the rice and all the mince with kidney beans and onion bits in it :D i guess it's a start.

"One half of a medium bagel is about the size of a hockey puck". Sweet ok, I'll put that in my nutrition project. Hahaha this is useful but I just lol'd at that.
