I must have clicked on another subtitle under 'Community'! Oh my. I apologize but the only one I intentionally click on is this one 'General Health, Fitness and Diet'. Oh well - appreciate your help.

Thanks for your info and the link, lemurcat. I'm going to check out. Been awhile since I glanced at book but it's interesting how they compared low fat (healthier) meat to vegetarian and lab results (I think/too many diet books). There are several threads and when I googled topic/mfp/end of June 2021 it surfaces but the…

I know a few overweight vegetarians but I do think there are many healthy, lithe, ones. I've read more than once vegetarians are the thinnest overall. I'd love to try it - I'm allergic to dairy (which I crave - didn't when younger) and need sources of protein. Don't care for meat unless it's unhealthy type and bits of…

1) MFP - I've learned here and need to check in consistently for knowledge/info. Was junky buying diet books although skeptical and read few 2) Light & Fit (Dannon) Greek yogurt mixed for tad of flavor with plain Oikos plain yogurt 3) Red seedless grapes - can't live without 4) Barely ripened bananas - lots of grocery…

It must have been - it happens. Thanks for checking. I appreciated the info on salt and BP/heart. So much good info on here.

yirara - no -- the person is strict vegetarian and has been for over 3 decades.

I was desperate but afraid of becoming addicted to sleep meds and my doctor recommended Tylenol PM which has Benadryl in it. Most OTC sleep aids have Benadryl. I read (and heard) Tylenol alone relaxes some and thus Tylenol PM must really work but I decided to start mild and buy the Pediatric Benadryl and started with 1/4…

Ahh - niner, my dream weight loss plan🤪!
-
I've read a few posts in the past of posters having WW memberships as well as counting calories. If I had the time to track both points/calories (and attend meetings) I might check out their info. Are meetings available online?
-
ccrdragon you are right on the money (actually lbs/weight!!). Plus having a special event on the horizon and one's health a good motivator. It's not easy learning to adjust to one's caloric limit for weight loss and be patient.
-
Ahh, thank you ANNPT77 for the reassurance re/the science but whatever she did worked so it had to be serious calorie deficit.
-
Hopefully, normal life to reach herd immunity will be the answer -- obviously, the next level of normalcy here and back again to phase 1 due to outbreak isn't working. Apparently, the new mutated virus is 30% more deadly - this is unreal.
-
Australia seems to have a grip on Covid, however, they've a population of what - 30-35K people (about the population of California - one state!) and the US has 330,000! Huge difference. Most people I know (over 55) have 'sheltered in place' other than necessary errands, faithfully following the mask/social distancing. When…

Might want to check out excellent posts by Emily Patterson, "Under 1200 for weight-loss." It doesn't make sense but when I cut my calories down I don't lose but gain a lb or so - if I eat the amount deemed per the charts (mfp calculator) I lose - maybe not as fast as I'd like, but it works. Friends yrs ago on Weight…

I got it -- thx.
-
What is a "Necrothread?" Thx
-
Ibride - salicylic acid is supposed to be the greatest thing - salicylic chemical peels must be something -- how often is "regular?"
-
Stridex is good, however, caution is needed if one is using prescribed acne meds. Many times DERMS will recommend or prescribe (or recommend OTC) an additional cleanser/cream to be used along with the acne cream/gel. The OP needs to discuss with doctor re/any OTC skin care products. I agree -- Stridex is effective OTC for…
-
mmapags -- NO - fruit is nutritious/healthy. Sorry about confusion but my junk is cake/icecream bite(s) per day. I'm cautious with the processed, refined, stuff.
-
earlnabby - I hear ya re/cake(-: I deprived myself for decades of dessert but I only have one med/large size bite with my Haagen Daz (bite) and save one bite for after dinner of my other fave dessert - I have to be cautious. Never could figure out why my husband could devour dessert every, single, night - no weight…
-
Some acne meds/creams/gels do cause the face to break out -- there's a term and it's called "purge." It does help acne, but many people experience a "purge" before the skin clears up. Just google the name of your medication to see if it's a variation of Retin A/Tretinoin, etc., and if so google for info under "purge." You…

Hi CG123 - I find that refined carbs do not help the sugar cravings - maybe for a nanosecond or so - but actually make it worse. I do have my snack of junk each day - minimal. If you like grapes (red seedless, green, black, whatever) they help/satisfy like nothing else. Any fruit that is watery-sweet should do the trick. I…
-
lemurcat2 - 1910 - that's awesome. I'm clueless about how I'll get all nutrients in on 1300 calories but losing weight is my first priority. ZJ03 - Thx for the above link gov/health dash-eating plan. Keep care of that blood pressure, weightgoesb - we're concerned about BP around my house, too. This Dash eating plan looks…
-
Great info/recipe ideas/thx. I'm not into cooking much at this point in time because of kitchen/house 'reconstruction' horror but I do cook legumes (pintos? need to do black beans prob healthier) at my Mom's kitchen maybe once a month and feel they're safe to eat for few days - I try to eat as healthy as possible - take…
-
oops - someone was inquiring about 1/18 not 1/19. I still left info re/this thread.
-
There's now a group -- under the Search tab type in The Dash Diet -- new thread 1/19 started by zeejane03. It's very interesting topic.
-
You gals/guys are so fast/efficient -- can't wait to come back and read your knowledge. BTW I just typed in Dash Diet (didn't type in 'The') and someone (past few weeks) is inquiring whether there's a DASH eating plan group. To find THIS thread I have to go into the 'Search' and type in the exact words, The Dash Diet,…
-
ZJ03/thanks! That's my problem -- never heard of Aldi and we must not have one here. I'll check to see about the 'KYSO' bread/thanks for all the info. I like this DASH eating plan - love starches and carbo but I have to balance out with some serious, small, portions, of protein (will try to squeeze it out of the Greek…
-
zeejane - thanks for this thread/appreciate! Just 'heard' about this under the Med eating topic again (where I get lost but need to figure out!). I was short time last week and lost my way keeping up here. Trying to figure out easiest way to buy Aldi bread - hopefully I can order a whole grain/wheat type.
-
Tried it all -- podiatrist, insoles/inserts, special (ugly) shoes, physical therapy -- exercises are brutal but great -- the best thing I spent money on other than PT was a pair of Mesphito sandals (Nordstroms and they resemble Birkenstocks but much better) and they saved me. Once I started wearing them (living in them) my…
