I've tried a few of their products: Ranch salad dressing: really good! Very similar to the real thing Whipped peanut spread: it's alright if you don't mind something that tastes salty/high in sodium with a little peanut flavor in it. the texture is strange as well, nothing like real peanut butter although it gets better if…

It may be because your sugar levels have dropped and that is why you are craving things and why the tea with sugar helps. The warmth of the tea also tends to make you feel full.

As long as you are being closely supervised by a doctor, I won't knock your choice. But try to eat at least 1200 calories a day, I know diet pills seriously kill appetites, so even that 1200 may be hard to reach, but try anyway. And absolutely make sure you drink at least your 8 glasses of water a day, if not more, they…

veggies and hummus, fruit and nut butter, pita pockets filled with veggies and hummus.

Well, it looks like I'll be baking a lot of gluten free goodies for today, tomorrow, and monday. Cream filled chocolate cupcakes, chocolate whoopie pies, apple spice muffins. And I'll be making pancakes for breakfast tomorrow. But so far for the holiday party at a family members house I will probably be having a small…

Usually I like it black. But occasionally I'll treat myself and add a tiny amount of vanilla soymilk or I'll make a latte using Unsweetened vanilla almond milk. Yum!

@gingerb85: I totally forgot about fatfreevegan! I used to look at her site a lot a while back but I guess I just forgot it existed. Thank you for reminding me! @dirtbikegirl5: I realize I could make a lot cooked vegetables and call it a meal, but I'd like something more balanced. Protein, maybe some grains with the…

Thank you for the suggestions! Those sound interesting, I'll have to check them out. I was thinking about just making a stir fry, but that's pretty much all I eat normally. And I've done stuffed peppers with brown rice and veggies for every past holiday with my family.

Donnie Darko. I could watch this movie everyday and never get tired of it.

turbo jam. hands down, I like the fat blaster I think its called? Its really fun, you don't feel like your working out because of how fun it is, but you definitely get out of breath and work up a sweat with it. And its got a great calorie burn. Although this is pretty much just cardio, with some toning. Otherwise try…

Same here, although I like spinach it is not always available to me. So I usually just make a "vegetable salad". Just through all the veggies you would put in a salad on a plate or in a bowl and voila your done. I usually use cucumbers as a base, so I go through a lot of them quickly.

bump ~sounds amazing!

I'm newly diagnosed as well. Its a major struggle for me living in a college dorm, but anyway. As far as carbs go, fruits and veggies have lots of carbs, otherwise they also make gluten free breads, crackers, etc. So that would get your carb intake up.

Have you been eating enough protein? When you don't get enough protein sometimes you crave bad sugars.

thanks for the suggestions everyone! can't wait to try some of them. I've never heard of pairing carrots with almond butter! I'm really interested in trying that now!

No I've never used a protein powder before, I'll have to look into that one you suggested! They make gluten free oatmeal??? I love oatmeal but it always makes me sick, I'll have to look for it next time I go to the store. and apple and peanut butter sounds perfect, can't think I didn't think of doing that for my post…

Welcome! and good luck with meeting your goals!

Hey! It is a pretty awesome site, very convenient. Good luck on meeting your goals!

Hey fellow college kid :D haha, but welcome to the community and good luck!

First, congrats on losing so much already! Now onto the real topic here: up your calorie intake about 200 calories for a week or until you feel like you have things under control again, then lower you calories back down. This should help and it may also give your metabolism a boost to really help you lose those last few…

pilates. try POPpilates on youtube. shes great, upbeat, fun and motivational. (It'll also work your abs like nothing else! It's awesome.) also, stairs! it could be the stair climber or actual stairs, I now live on the 4th floor of my building and its really helped to firm up that area. Especially since I'm constantly…

bumping to save this for later!

bump :] looks so yummy. Can't wait to try them. But do you think they would cook alright in the microwave? I don't have access to a stove (I live in a college dorm room).

I'm mostly vegan, the only reason I'm not fully vegan yet is because some gluten-free products contain milk or eggs but I try to avoid those as much as possible.
