this might sound like a stupid question but if i bread & fry my fish, will it decrease it's nutritional value? we do not eat fried chicken or fried foods for the most part, but i feel fish would be more palatable this way. just wondering if the breading & frying would be a negative that outweighed the positive of eating…

thanks everyone. i tried orange salmon yesterday at brunch - not a fan. my husband said it's too harsh for someone starting-out. i appreciate all the input, i will definitely try all these ideas!

it's very scary, esp when i see that my mom doesn't do all she can to prevent another h.attack. it upsets me to see her eating cakes and cookies and candies and completely ignoring her dr's warnings about her diet. we recently had a friend who had a heart attack at age 40. i know it's rare, but it scared us all. every once…

well, i take ALOT of meds for other things; definitely do not want to add another medication...and every time you add a med, you add side effects. plus my mother has had multiple heart attacks/strokes, so i am at high risk. honestly it hasn't been too difficult; my long healthy life is worth it to give-up a few foods.

i have to take medication 4 times per day, always with food. so i take a 100 calorie snack each time i have to take my meds. it makes me stay full throughout the day. i just make sure to log everything and ensure it fits w/in my calorie goal. you certainly don't have to snack if you don't want to, but if you're hungry,…

i have no clue

i had salmon this morning at a brunch. orange salmon. taste wasn't too bad, but the texture got me. *sigh*

my mom has SVT also. she was prescribed a diet with ZERO caffeine and tons of water. she might end up with a pacemaker but so far, that has solved her issues.

i weigh every morning

seafood chowder sounds amazing! that is a great idea! i can do fish and shrimp to make it more palatable!

i take 4 grams of Omega-3 per day but my dr said from food is better. thanks for the mercury warning. i had no idea.

i'm in Texas, USA. thank you for the tips. i will get some curry. **i live near the coast, so i do have alot of options of buying fresh**

my cholesterol is sky high. my total cholesterol is 263 and my triglycerides level is 475. my doctor has me on a very strict diet. NO sugar NO alcohol NO bread NO potatoes NO pasta 4g/day Omega-3 eat more chicken & fish & turkey and less red meat. i do not look at my saturated fats, etc. at this point, i am just trying to…

i take ALIVE vitamins, cinnamon capsules, Omega-3, and garlic tablets.

OMG i love burger king. really any cheeseburger! *sigh* :/

my cholesterol is through the roof. this past week, my dr put me on a very strict diet to attempt to lower my cholesterol w/o meds. NO alcohol NO pasta NO bread NO sugar (such as a donut, cake, etc.) NO potatoes NO soda +4grams Omega-3 per day i can eat any and all veggies/fruits and should focus on chicken, fish & turkey;…

i have tried and failed many times. one day, i decided i was ready. no one else can decide for you. it has to come from within. i haven't been the same since - and my goal is going to be easier to reach b/c i am sticking to my plan.

OMG I LOVE your profile photo!

i bet it smells amazing! i love the smell of fresh baked goods. unfortunately, it's not in my new diet plan as prescribed by my dr. :/

i love my food scale, unfortunately, it doesn't have a brand name on it. i bought it at either Marshall's or TJMaxx in the housewares section and i think i paid no more than $8-$10. i have had it for years and it still works great. MUST HAVE a TARE feature! and also OZ and GRAMS - must have both. i weigh everything, except…

thanks :smile: i am taking with breakfast and that seems to work really well.

i looked in my file and it was marked as spam, so i guess maybe someone thought metformin was some type of weight loss supplement or marketing ploy on my part. sorry if anyone was confused but met is a drug used for lowering blood sugar and other reasons as deemed appropriate by a dr. i was also flagged on another post…

I was? hmmmmmmmmmm???? :o

leafy greens! OMG. i hate them. regular iceberg lettuce is about the only one i like and that really doesn't have any nutritional value.

thanks, i sent you a F.R. - appreciate your input. :)

well my PCOS makes me insulin resistant and along with my extreme weight gain from meds i am taking, we are concerned about my getting metabolic syndrome as i already have 2 of the 3 signs. thanks for the info. i appreciate the info about the stomach issues, i do remember that!

i was on topamax for weight loss b/c i gained so much when i started taking seroquel. the topamax didn't do anything for me at all. i am off that now, and start metformin tomorrow. hoping for better results.

yes, in most women's vitamins, there will be added B vitamins as they are needed for a healthy pregnancy.

i take alive for women w/o added iron
