I had a foster child whose mom got free chips and doritos when they were out of date. It was the best she could do with no income and her lack of financial planning. At least they didn't starve. I would only do something if it appeared to be severe abuse/neglect.

A psychologist might be who she should actually see. Good luck to your friend.

I had my reconstruction in September. I had a lot of difficulty getting the flexion ( bending) back. But like the others said, quads, quads, quads! Even if you can't do alot, do whatever the PT says, and do it more than they say. Keep up with the PT and you will be happier after surgery. BTW, the pain sucks. It was three…

I do weigh the calorie dense foods like dressing, honey, meat, cottage cheese, etc. I also weigh fruit some of the time. But in reality, I only eat fruit once a day if I eat it. I just feel like there should have been more discussion about why the calorie level she chose was appropriate other than her own testament that at…

You could go on tomorrow and end up with a cholesterol level similar to the first test. You can't really say much with two points. Math says three makes a line, and therefore demonstrates a trend. That beung said, genetically high cholesterol is hard to overcome. My mom takes zetia and it dropped her level in half. Her dad…

I like oatmeal with some peanut butter and a little salt. Yum!

Sing it sister. Great job! If you are happy and feel good, don't worry about the haters!

You should see if you can find a group class to go to. I look forward to my workouts at the gym because it is like hanging out with my friends who have similar goals (exercise-wise) in mind.

If you're hungry, you should eat. Keep track of it. Not to sound snarky or rude, but did they run a pregnancy test with those tests? All that happened to me when I was pregnant, right down the the migraine and not hungry for more than a month followed by massive hunger.

low fat cream cheese = smells and tastes like glue give me bacon and full fat butter, mayo, and cream cheese, please.

A scale is very helpful. Also, for most liquid things people drink (almond milk, milk, juice), most have a density about the same as water so that is 1 g per mL (ie. 250 mL for cup of water would weigh 250g). I have used that when I was pouring milk on my cereal.

Cottage cheese with LOTS of black pepper. also, Mac and cheese with BBQ sauce

I am recovering from an ACL injury. I had surgery in September. The best thing to do is ask your doctor and/or physical therapist for the best options for exercise for you.

I am not following a gluten free or wheat free diet, but I know someone who does. They eat a pretty strict paleo style diet for the sole purpose of ridding themselves of eczema and psoriasis. He had it so bad that it covered a lot of his body and he was embarassed to have a job. What people don't realize is that eczema and…
