I use it to make cheesecake...

I buy frozen slices apples and I nuke them and then add some extra low fat cool whip, pumpkin pie spice on top. I like the frozen because they're more economical and you don't have to cook them to be mushy ($3.00 for a bag at wal-mart).;

These are easy to make with little ingredients and you can adjust the sugar substitute or not use any. I usually add 1/8c but have made them without too. The added sugar is from the banana. I don't generally add the walnuts. http://www.busybuthealthy.com/banana_nut_protein_bars/

Results do take time and you have to be consistent with your diet and workouts. I split my legs into two days...glute focus and quad focus. For glutes I do deadlifts, squats, lunges, hip thrusts, reverse hypers, curtseys, box step ups, lying ham curls...there's lots you can do.

the organic dragon green tea by them is amazing too!

I kip with mine as I can do more that way. Good suggestions on starting. I started doing them with a reverse narrow grip as they're easier than wide grip ones. Different muscles engaged but it was a start and confidence to progress.

The only thing I'm noticing as a benefit that I started drinking lately is Mighty Leaf chamomile Citrus tea steeped with some fresh ginger and a squeeze of lemon. This time of year you start getting that start of a cold with a scratchy throat and it seems to soothe and get of that gone quick. You don't even need even a…

Get your nutrition on point, do squats (sumo squats target inner thighs), lunges and yoga does wonders for strengthening and toning legs. You already know you can't spot reduce but targeting legs helps tone things up.

I alternate with greek yogurt and cottage cheese with some protein powder. The protein content is amazing using both plus the protein powder. I blend it all in a blender to incorporate and then chill.

It's good getting the stink out of my workout clothes

I use coconut sugar and just 1/8 cup. I've made them before without any sweetener and they're good but I don't like things overly sweet.

This is the protein bar recipe I use. It's quick and super easy. Her website is amazing. http://www.busybuthealthy.com/banana_nut_protein_bars/

Very true. I suffered from anorexia and bulimia as a teen and even into my early 20's for bulimia and was able to address it through exercise and routine. When I'm stressed and anxious, I feel the urge to overeat but I keep my coping things in place and I'm able to muscle through it, no pun intended.

I like the 4% fat greek yogurt...I need the fat and it makes the product more creamy. I'll have 1 or 2% cottage cheese too. I'm not getting anything 0% anymore.

I don't remember the last time I had blood work done and physicals every 3 years is just fine with me! I'm Canadian and besides physicals and tests, I can go to my doctor whenever I want and it's free of charge. The only time I generally go is when I've injured my knee or something. I'm hardly ever sick.

drink it, have it in oatmeal and make a pudding with it with greek yogurt, peanut butter and a touch of honey

I use coconut sugar or brown sugar in my coffee as I like the molasses taste. I just burn off the sugar...no biggie.

Omega 3's Biotin extra vitamin C in the winter Zinc Protein powder occasionally

I've tried them and they're amazing. Evil, evil things! Just portion them out and they're good.

220 is no big deal for calories. I eat my extra calories from exercise. I don't eat protein bars frequently, but every once in awhile.

I make my own but if I'm needing something and I'm stuck for options then I'll grab a quest or kind bar.

Make your own. I make a tray, freeze and grab and go.

Some people have medical reasons why it's difficult. Thyroid disorders, medication that causes weight gain etc. Apart from that, there's quite a bit about nutrition that people don't understand. The whole "I hate egg whites and salad" approach is sadly the common thing I hear. There's also so many things about fitness that…

This reminds me of my daughter's instagram. She posts a pic, her friend remarks how pretty she is, my daughter says "No, you're pretty" and on and on it goes and I'm left scratching my head wondering the point of it all.

My fav snack is a banana with some natural peanut butter or some almonds. I'll shove a couple almonds (pointy ends shoved into the banana) and take a bite. Nothing wrong with eating fruit IMO, especially when there's many good ones in season. The winter of apples and citrus can get tiring. I'll just lower my other sugar…

* less carbs * longer shelf life in my fridge * different flavours (vanilla or plain or blend of coconut/almond) plus there's cashew milk * I eat tons of calcium rich foods so no biggie on missing the calcium I do wish they came in jugs or bags (like our milk in Canada) because I can plow through a carton in no time.

Volleyball. Twice a week. Play both beach and hard court.

Started sports and swimming young and then started weights around 13 when I got heavily into volleyball and conditioning was part of my training. Learned proper form and technique that way and continued that through my life. Now I work out generally 5 days a week but do take breaks when I'm injured or just need to refocus.…

People are buying into this stuff because my facebook is full of friends jumping on the Isogenix bandwagon to sell so obviously people are buying into these things. Their shakes and things are tasty but I just can't justify the cost. I just have shakes when I'm in a protein pinch. I'd rather eat the real food and…

I only buy them occasionally if I'm starving and am in a bind for something quick. In terms of protein bars out there, they're the best for being low sugar. There's tasty ones out there but with the nutrition of a chocolate bar. I'd definitely go for a shake in lieu of a bar. There's protein shake bars around the area (one…
