Great to have such an educated individual as one of my support group!

I was a sugar-a-holic for years. Particularly candy. Its a tough habit to break

Ive had great success with it. Feel free to friend or msg me

You have to decide if you are only interested in losing the weight or interested in pursuing health, not just weightloss

Soft goat cheese on apple slices is amazing! Air popped popcorn is a good low cal too

Watch "fat, sick and nearly dead"

Try blending instead of juicing, you will get alot more fiber in the mix as well as more of the nutrients that you lose in the pulp. Plus the cleanup isnt as much of a pain in the butt. That extra pulp is alot more filling and youll still get the effect youre looking for :) feel free to friend for support

10 days is a long one. I only did a 3 day because I was trying to isolate food allergies. It really is a mental block you have to get over. I was amazed by day 3 how much energy I had and how NOT hungry I was. Feel free to friend me if you are looking for some support :)

Just because your eating "healthy" foods doesnt neccessarily mean you are eating what is healthy for your individual body. Minir food allergies can wreak havok on weightloss by causing inflammation and water retention. Listen to your body's cues. Maybe there is something that is causing you to feel bloated or gassy? That…

Throw in some nuts. Good fats, high calories and easy to snack on. Your certainly not doing your body any favors by under eating. Youll just put your body into starvation mode. When that happens, your body will quite literally tell itself to hang onto all fat and not burn any.

Mmmm rocky mountain oysters

Well said

I like spinach with an apple. Ginger root or celery will also flavor the whole shake (not a fan of the ginger but its strong!)

So were the first scientists that came out speaking against cigarettes......

As I recall...the OP asked a question. I have given my opinion and the science supporting it. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, as they are entitled to do to their own body as they chose. Youre not going to change my mind because Ive already experienced the incredible difference it has made for me, and im not…

Lol your right, silly me for heeding the warnings of a credential laden MD. http://profiles.ucsf.edu/robert.lustig

Its not my study its Dr Lustig's of the University of California. Dont worry I wouldnt expect most of you to actually watch the video, but for those that are interested in the physiology of the body, enjoy :) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ceFyF9px20Y

Proteins and strength training!

The bottom line is that the sugars in soda are processed in your body in such a way that it tells your body that it is starving and that you need to eat more. It also tells your brain to go into lethargy mode saying, in essence, "stop moving! We are starving! We need to conserve energy!" In addition you body is also told…

Sounds like we have a very similar way of thinking! Add me if your looking for some more support

It does take some time to get the sugars and whatnot out of your system. I definately felt that tiredness in the beginning. Even now i like to have my cup of coffee. Pay attention to exactly what is making you feel that way. I know for me, things like a bowl of cereal would knock me on my butt for several hours! No idea…

Not sure if you enjoy the sciency stuff or not but if your interested in a very eye opening bit on this very subject, look up "fructose 2.0" on youtube. Its a long video so if you have a short attention span, just watch the last 10 minutes :)

I have huge success with this. Ill do my version of a faste occasssionally and eat nothing but veggies for 3 days or so. Its amazing how great i feel and the weight falls off. Its not a plan you can do heavy workouts on because there isnt enough protein or carbs but its a great way to do a quick slim down. Its also very…

Most people have food allergies in some fashion. Gas, bloating, lethargy, stomach pain, skin conditions and numerous others are all symptoms of some food sensitivities. Listen to your body and it will tell you what it does and doesnt want. Raisens are one of my natural ones and pretty much anything refined or processed…

I had to do away with the cereal because ill do the same thing!

I dont mean physically starving, i mean your body is starved for the nutrients it requires to run efficiently, resulting in being tired.

Slappin a *kitten*

The good news is that your body remembers how it felt to be healthy and youll bounce back alot quicker than if you were starting after a lifetime of weight gain rather than a few months. Imagine being like many of the people on here that have NEVER felt that sense of health and well being. If they can fight for a feeling…

Beautiful smile!
