  • After 30 yrs of this diagnosis, I did an elimination diet and now I am much better after finding what I was eating that was causing the problem. For me it is wheat and sugars.
  • I agree, besides eating less for weight loss, it is also important what you eat to be your healthiest. When you eat can play a role as well. https://www.myliporidex.com/blog/all-about-macros-and-meal-timing/
  • I don't have any recipes because that sounds like a lot of work to me, but I love Perfect Bars. I believe they are vegan, non GMO and Gluten free. They taste sooo good too! So if you are looking for something in a pinch I would check them out!
  • I always recommend HIIT for people looking for the best results with working out at home. You can combine strength training (with body weight to start) with cardio for maximum results. Here are 2 easy ones, you need a treadmill for one, but you could find a way to do it outside:…
  • Great advice, this is what I would recommend as well!
  • I do this too, I buy something as a "treat" for myself, but then I never seem to want it anymore. I guess my tastes have changed, yay! It still feels good to buy them though.
  • It is MLM, just like the wraps, which is why people are always trying to recruit you - if they do, they can make more money! I am not really sure I agree with people who are not professionals or really know what they are doing "coaching" people, and most the people I see online selling beachbody look like they have not…
  • I have heard this before, but I dont know if it is true. I feel like I only ever crave food that I like, and that is the reason. It took a while of eating healthier to stop craving some of the junk that I used to eat.
  • I do epsom salt baths to help with soreness, and I use a post workout mixed in with my protein shake after exercise to help me recover faster. Of course plenty of water is important too.
  • You should eat after you workout, even if it is late. Be sure to eat something that will help with your recovery and results though, not just anything. Things you want to have are #1: Lean Protein Source to build muscle #2: High glycemic index carbohydrate to refuel glycogen ASAP #3: Low or no fat - it slows down digestion…
  • I like to make mini goals on my way to achieving a larger goal so that I continued to stay motivated and feel the sense of accomplishment along the way. You got this! :)
  • Are you doing any strength training at the gym? That could help, but also you know what they say, "abs are made in the kitchen," so switching up what you are eating instead of only tracking how much can help. For me, sugar and processed foods will make me much more bloated and keep the weight on, even if they are within my…
  • I had one ovary removed, which supposedly does not affect your hormones at all according to Drs, but I have never been the same since. I have tried EVERYTHING, and never had any luck with traditional western Drs acknowledging or treating my symptoms. After seeing a naturopath, I now am on meds to support my thyroid and…
  • Is it possible to get a night stand with a drawer that you can baby proof? I have to keep mine by my bed and take them first thing or else I will forget. Now it is a routine, so even on vacation or when I sleep in I still remember that it is the first thing that I do in the AM.
  • I love yoga and it can be good for toning, flexibility and overall wellness, but not too sure it is the best thing for weight loss. I think you would need to incorporate some cardio and heavier weight training to see real results with weight loss and toning. https://www.myliporidex.com/blog/weight_training_versus_cardio/
  • This is both disgusting and very interesting at the same time. Ok, so even if it is effective, it just seems like there would have to be a better way to get the same results!
  • I would incorporate some weight training with your cardio to see the best results. Building muscle helps you keep burning more fat, even after your workout is over.
  • Haha exactly! I don't know why women always think this or where this myth started....It reminded me of this list I was reading the other day about how you know you are a "Fit Chick" lol these are too funny, and true - I think number 7 and number 13 apply here ;)…
  • Congratulations! :) That is awesome, and good job on the candy - more self control than I would have! Are you really eating only proteins though? You need a balance of other things, like carbs and healthy fats as well to achieve and maintain healthy weight loss.
  • Adorable! If they are anything like mine, they think they are little baby lap dogs instead of the big dogs that they are. Maybe try carrying them around for exercise lol
  • Exercise can help to regulate your hormones, such as cortisol. Have you been working out at all? If not, maybe that could be the answer without having to take anything. You may find this helpful https://www.myliporidex.com/blog/optimize_natural_hormonal_production_through_training/
  • I like the money in the bank idea! Is it possible to avoid the areas where the food will be? Also, I think if you are able to restrict yourself outside of work, it is ok to indulge every now and then. This really helped me when trying to avoid unhealthy food and cravings…
  • This sounds amazing, I love trying new salads! Here is one of my favs: Ingredients: 1/2 cup of bulgur 1/2 cup of boiling water 2 tablespoons of olive oil Juice of one lime 4 green onions, chopped 1 cup of cherry tomatoes, halved 1 yellow or red bell pepper, chopped 1 cup of frozen corn, boiled and cooled 1 jalapeno, seeded…
  • Lots of water as most everyone has said, and I love epsom salt baths. Since you don't have a bathtub I believe you can get magnesium gel to put directly on your skin. I have never used it, but since that is what is in the salt I can see how it would work. I use supplements post workout to help with inflammation and…
  • I would look into different med options for your condition. There are many options, and if you are being dosed correctly, you shouldn't have terrible side effects. I take Armour thyroid everyday, and I have never had an issue, it is when I don't take it that I do. If you can find something that works for you it will make…
  • That's insane! I am almost afraid to look because it may scare me off from my gym if I see people planning to meet there.
  • Sounds like you need to find a way to maximize your workouts when you can squeeze some time in for them. It is possible! I have the same issue, and found this really helpful https://www.myliporidex.com/blog/how_to_minimize_your_time_at_the_gym_while_maximizing_results/
  • I mind that it is a good substitute in most cases, but I am not picky about my milk. I think it also just depends on what you are making.
