  • I drink coffee in the morning and then endless cups of green tea, oloong tea, rooibos and herbal tea from David's tea. I am really addicted to their teas. Some of them are worth dessert to me and only 10 cals a cup. Priceless.

  • Love your last sentence.... it applies on soooo many health related pseudo-science topics. I find it so annoying all these e-mails i get from relatives about the dangers of this, the dangers of that, etc. People also like to have complicated solutions to simple problems.

  • That is hard to say...I'm nursing a very hungry baby. My nutritionist (I consulted on this very topic) told me to add 450 calories per day to my target calories/day. I believe that my little hulk is taking me around 1000 calories a day.... I've been losing 2 pounds a week for 10 weeks and I eat 2300 calories!!!! (I'm…

  • Hi! I have PCOS and hypothyroidism. Altough I have been a little overweight (maybe 10 pounds over healthy weight except around pregnancies), now I am at a healthy weight. I've had two babies (with fertility treatments, as clomid proved utterly useless for me). Every case is different : metformin did nothing for me since I…
