Hemp seeds are high in fiber and are rich in minerals. Chia and flaxseeds have the edge in when it comes to soluble fiber, hemp, well, is higher than the other two seeds when protein is being talked about. Try adding them to your oatmeal and smoothies like 1-2 tablespoon a day.

I believe 12 hours offers many of the same benefits without the side effects. Buy long fasts might send the body into starvation mode, which makes it more difficult to lose weight because it slows down your metabolism.

Hello, Your BMR (base metabolic rate) is what your body needs to stay or maintain at the current weight that you are now. For example,staying in bed the whole day would require 1400 calories a day to neither lose or gain a pound. ‘1200’ calorie rule is just a basis or an average. Your body hits below 1200 calories, it goes…

This is water. It's pretty much impossible to gain this much actual mass in 3 days. If you're eating more sodium, maybe you are retaining more water and gained weight.Short term water variations are possible.

What’s the best way to stop the cycle of addiction? First, don’t get started. Example, shop mindfully.If it’s difficult to resist unhealthy chips, don’t stock your pantry with them. Find healthy snacks.(fruit, veggies, nuts). Foods that are lean protein, healthy omega-3 fats, and fiber rich are good intervention to help…

Hi! That's normal to family members. Their definition of healthy is sort of twisted. But congratulations on your journey. Be encouraged with your friends and find support there. It'll pass and your family will be used to it. Assure them that you are eating healthy and fit. :D Continue to be an inspiration.

Hi! I'm new in MFP but would love to have friends with you guys. I weigh about 172lbs. I'm still on my way to a healthy and fit life. Maintaining weight is still a working progress. But I know I can make it. Eating a healthy meal, regular workout, and sport activities with friends on a weekend keeps me going. I hope to…

Hey girl! Keep it up. It's determination and discipline that will keep you going. Wishing you all the best of luck. I'm here to support you all the way. Don't forget to eat healthy as you workout. Take supplements to keep you going and active.

Hello, did you ask your doctor about this? I'm no expert but probably hormonal imbalance. It might “robbing” the proteins in your body which is needed to be healthy. Try asking your doctor first. Try eating foods rich in proteins or supplements. I suggest taking deer antler velvet. It's 100% natural so it's safe. Check…

Hey girl, looks like you are in the right weight scale. The goal of exercise is to be fit, not skinny. You eat to nourish your body and have a stronger body. But if you want to go skinny then you can consult a professional trainer so he/she can advise you.

I believe you can survive it. Get help. I know it is not an easy choice but you decide if anorexia is a friend that you must hold on to? Change is hard but it is possible. Admit you have a problem so you'd be able to talk to someone. Stay away from places, people, and activities that can trigger your obsession of being…

Hi! It still depends on you if you don't want to add exercise on your everyday activity. I'm like that before, but i have to control my weight coz when you get old it'll be hard to lose weight. Also, exercise is beneficial to health as it combats a lot of health conditions and diseases. When it comes to energy, well…

Same prob here. When i was at the gym i do a lot of workout with for my arms.. But I stopped because of the shifting with my work.. Ughh!! My arms got bigger.

I wanted to try pole fitness too. Thing is.. You can find a gym or something. I'm deciding to have a pole outside my house so I can do the exercises. Is that possible?

OMG. Just amazing! Wow! You look gorgeous in your transformation! Way to go!

Just love this comment. I myself is addicted to eating. I can relate with the guilty stuff g r r r r.. It's just good to feel when I say NO to myself to cravings and eating too much.

Hey Ash, I added you as well. I'm 173 lbs and struggling to fit with my old clothes. haha But I'm in a healthy phase of transformation too. Would love to have friends around here to be motivated and inspired.

Green tea has caffeine which is not good. But I'd choose green tea over coffee. Sorry. I drink my coffee with NO SUGAR. I liked it. I noticed my tummy trimmed down but it's not that noticeable. As far as I know you have to drink tea 5x a day to lose weight. I only steep like 3x so I dunnow if that's a factor. By the end of…

It depends on how your body adjust to it. Based on my experience,I only eat fruits and water for dinner but I have no time for exercise. I lost weight but very little. When i do my Jillian michaels then I lose weight and firm arms,legs and tummy. You have to balance things out so you can get that healthy fit body you want.

My friend got issues with the socket on her shoulder. It also clicks when she does some flapping wings. She was advised for a Physical Therapy. It says that she needs to build muscle to that are on here shoulder to keep the socket stable. Some factors of clicking can be arthritis,strength imbalance, or a torn ligament.…

Hey Lisa! Congratulations! Keep it up! This is good news for us too. Awesome!

I shifted to swimming and lighten my workout. I have Lordosis so some workouts are out in my program. :(

I only eat banana and fruit shake for dinner. No activity after that, that's why i have to eat light.When i'm stress and can't sleep i have cravings at night. DUE TO BOREDOM.

I do not usually ran. I get lazy with running. I go for swimming or biking. I also go with machine for cardio. It depends on you. You can mix your cardio. To keep you going. Stay motivated all the time.

You can shift to a healthier snacks instead of sweets and junk foods. These are not good for the body in the first place. Consider them toxic foods. Eat at the right time and don't skip a meal. I suggest to eat less for dinner and avoid too much midnight snacks. Keep a healthy body, it shows up on your physique especially…

Everytime I reach my goal, i reward myself by heading to the beach to relax treating myself with a healthy seafood dinner.

You can still enjoy the food. Don't over eat that's it especially if you're about to sleep or no further activity.

I'm using PumpUp. You should try it out guys! It's good.
