  • Have you tried GT Dave's Kombucha? Or the brand called LIVE kombucha, which has soda flavors. They do contain some sugar, but not a lot, and it's actually a live, cultured drink that has beneficial acids and vitamins. To compensate for the sugar, you could take in a little bit of soaked chia seeds (I actually blend some…
  • It may help with metabolism by helping to increase insulin sensitivity, and therefore glucose metabolism. I'm sure it has many other benefits as well. The way to take it is before a meal. I'm sure there are other uses and administrations, but that's the one I am familiar with. The dose I read about was 50g, if you use a…
  • Remote control Eject Button.
  • I really like vegetarian eating. I am not myself vegetarian, however. Ironically in fact, i've noticed it seems vegetarians keep their diary private, and also they hardly eat any vegetables!!!!????! If you really want your body to perform, then eat for performance: Do you have a food scale? Get one if you don't and weigh…
  • I just bought some Matcha tea, and there is research that says it helps burn peripheral fat! http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/70/6/1040.full Plus it tastes awesome and is good for stress(theanine), presuming the caffeine is not an issue for you.
  • I find that in order to get in the 120g I'd like to, I need to eat about 40g at breakfast. So a serving of fish or eggs or meat, and a serving of protein in a shake. Usually my morning meal is a veggie stir-fry with fish or meat, and a protein smoothie. Then similar portions of protein at lunch and dinner, plus a snack.…
  • Hi! I had to find a diet that works for me, too. Everyone's a little different. Mine is working for me! You can add me for encouragement, ideas and support!
  • Yeah, I'm definitely not impressed either. !!!
  • That's exactly what I did starting in March for a vacay I'm going on next week!!! I've lost 18lbs and 2 inches off my waist, 3 inches off my hips, and I've bought a bunch of bikinis!!!!! So excited! Yes, I'll kick your butt right into shape if you like, add me=-)
  • Thank-you! I appreciate the input!
  • Depends on why it's sticking out. How's your elimination? How's your digestion....do you react to meals or certain foods? If your muscles need some tone, you could work on that. If it's fat, you can continue with fat loss. Also have you tried cellulite massage? It helps to bring circulation to the area and therefore help…
  • I just finished losing 20lbs, and am on the last 10! I'm 46, 5'7" and weigh 152lbs. Goal weight of about 143...depending totally on body comp. My food intake would probably be an encouragement to you, I eat a pound of veggies daily in different ways, healthy fats and protein from beef, chicken, fish, eggs or protein…
  • Hmmmm i'm interested in that too....you like it?
  • Honestly, you're such a stud!!! <3
  • You could try something to see if you have a food addiction, which could be broken in a similar way to getting off caffeine. Just go back to the basics: Eat non-starchy veggies (leafy greens, carrots, broccoli, etc etc), proteins like beef, fish, chicken, eggs, vegan grain-free protein drinks like pea protein, and healthy…
  • I have enjoyed juicing in the past, I have an omega, I wouldn't recommend it, it tends to get clogged, it's hard to use. They need to go back to the drawing board on that one. I've definitely joined the crowd with smoothies....the fiber is super important for many reasons.
  • I eat a pound of veggies daily! Stir fry: Cut up onion, kale or swiss chard, sliced mushrooms, yam, cilantro Place in a cast iron pan with coconut oil or ghee. Add salt. Cover pan for a few minutes to soften the greens (especially kale), then uncover and stir fry until the greens are crispy/chewy, and add in some sliced…
  • Sounds like more than three days to me! Hope everything goes well for you. Have a nice day!
  • What a beautiful change! So fast too.
  • What's the "it" ? What's the "again"? Hormones, hunger, bingeing, food choices, and how to make it all go in the right direction so our appetites/hunger don't sabotage our desire for fit and comfortable bodies. This issue with a large appetite was exactly where I was at last March. I was tracking my food, and I ate a lot…
  • If you try to change your body in a single meal or a single day, it won't happen. Eating low carb high protein would be a change in your intake that would take your body a few days to adjust to. Also a few approaches are needed, like taking a walk to help normalize blood sugar, and getting plenty of rest to help normalize…
  • Magnesium supplement called CALM is fun to take, it tastes good. It would help with cramps if there is a deficiency in that mineral - which there often is. But yeah, bingeing is a different issue - been there!
  • Do you have a glucometer? You should get one and check your blood sugar fasting (when you awake, before you eat/drink ANYTHING), and postrandial (2 hours after a meal...preferably dinner). If you are hungry all the time you may have insulin resistance (your cells are not responding to insulin and allowing sugar into them).…
  • Who can give a blanket-statement answer? I let my children play dress-up, including make up. But they don't wear it in public until they get into about 7th grade. My own philosophy is to keep their minds and hearts free of inappropriate sexual information or stimulation....they are children, and have sexuality, but it's…
