Colin Principe traineo Regular Posts: 46 Colin Principe Working a lot makes it very easy to come up with excuses as to why I can't work out or eat healthy. It's time to end the excuses, get out there, enjoy some workouts and eat healthy foods. I'm hoping that Traineo can help.	# Posted: 19 Aug 2006 22:48 Hey all For those of you not doing the low-carb thing, I've found that whole wheat pasta fills me up a lot more than regular pasta. There is a tiny bit of a texture difference, but I've found that I've gotten used to it and enables me to eat smaller portions of my favorite food.

(not a complete protein source though, but combine it with some meat its perfect)
Steve Corona traineo Regular Posts: 36 Steve Corona I'm Steve. I am trying to get back into shape, I ran cross country for all 4 years of high school. I am currently a junior in college at RIT. My BMI is right on the border of normal and overweight. I am pretty muscular but I would still like to see that number drop. At 189 lbs I will have a "normal" BMI. I enjoy working out and run/bike daily as well as weight lift. I know they say you shouldn't bulk while dieting but it's been working for me. I started this summer at 220lbs (extra weight from living @ college) and am now down to just about 200lbs.. hope to break into the 190s soon.	# Posted: 20 Aug 2006 22:42 I actually prefer whole wheat products to simple carb products anyday. Anything I get that can come as whole wheat I get-- grinders / sandwiches / pasta, etc. I think it actually tastes better. Anyone agree?

Chantal de Manders traineo Regular Posts: 36 Chantal de Manders I'm a typical stress eater, and I've been extremely stressed out for the past two years. Yeah, recipe for disaster! I can't say I look too bad, and the 22 fat kilos I want to lose to get back to my original weight do make me more curvaceous, but let's face it - it's just not who I am. To feel comfortable again, I definitely want to lose those extra kilos! I'm mainly using Traineo to get some feedback, and to be able to keep track of my exercise. I only use the diet log sporadically, as the food itself isn't really my problem, but rather my notion of food as something that reduces stress.	# Posted: 27 Sep 2006 01:13 Whole wheat pasta, cous cous and bulgur are much more filling than the regular kind. I definitely think they taste better, too.
