I get everything from Whole Foods but I think it's available online and at a few vitamin shops. I think CVS carries the Orgain powder as does Costco and Harris Teeter. I would also check the net for coupons as there are usually coupons for the protien powders.

I suffer from GI issues sometimes and go through days where it's a struggle to eat. I can't function on super low calories so I will make a small calorie dense protien shake. I use 8 oz coconut milk, 1 scoop of Garden of Life Plant Protein Powder as it has a lot of nutrients and vitamins, 2 scoops of vanilla Orgain Protien…

Depending on the temperatures I'm cooking at, determines which oils I will use. For high temp cooking I use peanut oil. For medium to low temps either olive oil, coconut oil, or grapeseed oil.

Definately make sure you're getting fat and protien, preferably with the veggies. I love veggies too but found they're not satisfying when eaten alone which was why I had problems losing weight as eventually I would binge. I also think pairing them with a healthy fat allows you to better absorb certain fat soluable…

I forgot about Orgain - I LOVE that stuff!!! I wish they made a powder form of their liquid ready made shakes. I didn't know Costco sold the powder - will get a membership tomorrow lol.

My husband had really high cholesterol when we first started dating five years ago. Since we've been together he eats a lot more fruit and fresh veggies, and also juices every week day morning as a suppliment to breakfast. His numbers are perfect now. I think having less fast food and more whole foods made a significant…

Why is this such an issue for him? Legitimate question, I don't really understand. I usually eat differently than my husband. We eat together, but often different foods. If we do take out its not uncommon that I get something from one place and his dinner comes from another. We have different palates and it's not…

I'm allergic to spy and milk (whey) and really enjoy the Garden of Life vanilla vegan protien powder. It's organic and has tons of other nutrients. I don't think it's high calorie - I think around 150? The other flavors aren't bad but vanilla is my favourite.

Mentali - I sent you a pm - much of this post was not intended for you, I apologize. I use the app and the display does not always update so I was under the impression somebody else had wrote it. I see your points regarding judgement, but imo sometimes I think it's better to say something and risk offending someone then to…

Well, they are not normal. She would lead a happier life if she didn't have those thoughts. It's much better to be proactive about one's life to maximize happiness then to stick one's head in the sand and just accept fear and insecurity, and live one's life with that unpleseantness. She posted a question on a public forum…

What's wrong with my post? Why not get help? Why continue to live this way when you don't have to? My post wasn't intended to be mean or harsh or judging - it's not normal thinking. If you can't over come thinking this way on your own there is nothing wrong with seeing a therapist to work through it. Why stay uncomfortable…

For you to have such extreme anxiety and paranoid thoughts such as you describe is ver unhealthy and is disordered thinking. I think you should see a therapist because it's not normal, and it makes me sad that you feel this way. I don't know your weight or anything, but even if you weighed 500 lbs nobody should be…

If you're stuffed on 1300 calories you're definately not weighing and measuring correctly, as if you were truly stuffed on 1300 calorie you wouldn't have to lose 140lbs. You're definately not logging properly. Get a scale, preferably one that weighs grams and will tare (zero). Learn how to use it. Make sure to select the…

Personally, I prefer to snack on fresh fruit and veggies because it's lower calories than most other processed snack foods and often has more nutrients. Yes, I absolutely log it as I frequently consume between 400 - 800 calories a day from fruits and veggies. In the mornings I juice kale, beets, carrots, pineapple, and…

Get some hobbies, don't leave calorie dense snacky foods in the house, tell yourself "no". As for your sleep issues, Relora and melatonin are a great combination - consider herbal suppliments if you are suffering from insomnia - they knock me out. A good kava tincture works wonders for anxiety - Gaia makes ones that is…

Congratulations on wanting to make a lifestyle change! I agree with tchaubela, I think your goal is very realistic. I would discuss your weightloss plans with your doctor first to ensure you are healthy enough to have such an aggressive goal, and if they clear you go for it. Since this is such a huge change, I would…

This is absurd - peddle your drivel elsewhere. I have been using natural salt for years and it has had ZERO impact on my weight or body composition. The Internet does not need anymore misinformation - please refrain from any more posts like this.

I have something outside of the norm and exciting every Friday night and I don't feel remotely guilty. I bank calories from the rest of the week to spend on that Friday night meal. Last night my dinner and dessert came out to 1600 calories, and I loved every bit of it :) I seldom do hyperpalatable foods because they seem…

In many aspects it was a decent device and I loved it. However, in less than two years I had to replace it twice because they are cheaply made with materials that are not very durable and so they fell apart. My father and husband have both had issues as well. My husband was able to salvage his, but my Dad and I have moved…

Weight is weight. I don't know from experience, but from reading through this forum losing baby weight seems to be very difficult. Consider yourself fortunate indeed! Congratulations on your baby!

Try not to over think it - it's going well. It may continue to go well or it may stall, you don't know what will happen yet so don't think about it. Just focus on what you're doing now as it is working well. Take time to enjoy the success you are having now, and be proud of yourself. You're doing great!

Go enjoy your events, just eat and drink within your calorie budget. Last Saturday I had lunch with my parents (Mom's cooking) and dinner at my neighbor's house. The food was delicious! I was mindful of portion sizes, loaded up on salad but had a little of everything and had a great time!

I too have OCD and understand he difficulty of trying to maintain a healthy relationship with calorie counting. Look into cognitive behavioral therapy - it worked wonders for me and allowed me to finally get a handle on my OCD so it no longer controls my life. With respect to your fiber issue - what's going on? Are you…

I sometimes have one in place of dessert - just add a little full fat butter and a lot of cinnamon - delicious. If you have the calories and don't care about carbs - brown sugar turns them into candy lol. Sweet potatoes are a great after dinner snack imo.

It happens - don't beat yourself up. Learn from this - what could you have done differently to avoid repeating this in the future. Sorry - you didn't give details so it hard to be specific lol.

if that is you in your profile pic you look fantastic, so imo you're not suffering from dysmorphia now lol. I feel similar. Now that I'm finally healthy and in a good place physically, I'm so much more critical of my body than when I was heavier. Sometimes I feel huge from water retention and have to step on the scale…

I think that's a good point. My taller friend who is size 0 is not remotely healthy and sustains her weight on around 800 calories a day. Her hair is dull and brittle, her nails are short because she can't grow them out, and her skin is super dry and pale. It is very obvious looking at her that she suffers from nutritional…

Several places will give the specific measurements for items. I have no choice but to buy trousers online because nobody local carries the cut that I like, or petite size samples in store (they have to be ordered). The places I shop online give the dimensions and the inseam and waist in inches so there aren't surprises.…

Yes. A couple of years ago I accidentally lost too much weight from and antisiezure medication (Topamax) and quickly dropped down to 100 - 105 lbs - was a size 0. I was in my late 30's and have never had kids. I think as long as you haven't had kids it's possible to achieve that size when you're older. I would just make…
