@janejellyroll my response got cut off because I put an emoji!!! However, I wanted to know how has your experience been since you went vegan?

@KrunchyMama sorry part of my response did go through; I think it's because I used an emoji. Any ways, how was your experience?

@KrunchyMama thanks for the info. I did watch the documentary but I want to eat

@janejellyroll there is plenty of evidence base research out there and it's really common sense that your body can functions off a natural food diet. I did leave out nuts which I eat all the time. As I have stated before, I am taking a multivitamin to replace some of the things I'm not getting in my diet. This is not…

Take an iron vitamin or eat foods that are high in iron such as: oatmeal or spinach etc.

The more basic you eat, the more likely you will see better results. Shop on the outside of the grocery store. Meaning, veggies, fruits, meats, and dairy. Everything on the middle isles are processed. Try to eat things with one ingredient or food with basic ingredients (for example, some kettle corn chips mighty have:…

@nkbaar thank you. I never thought about blending plums lol

Best advice have fun and experiment with the different fruit and some veggies. I typically use common fruit: berries, bananas, mangos, etc with vanilla almond milk or some type of nector from Jumex. Just remember bananas have a very dominate flavor so don't use as much as other fruits. Start basic, with fruit and some form…

It all depends on what you're looking for in a gym. For me I look for class and sauna at a minimum; if it doesn't have that, I'm not considering it lol. Some people look for gyms w/ daycare so they can bring their kids or cost. But, it seems you already have your mind made. However, I would see if your friend's gym have…

Any type of water exercise.

Yes, you should change up your exercise routine, to target other muscles. Good luck

Cardio/strength training. For example, insanity. Stop lifting!!!!!! Lol

I know a lot of people wrap their stomach after having kids to tone their mid section post partum.

@tudoroaks4 doing this as an alternative to medicine for a health condition. Just got diagnosed with a health condition and I want to know if my diet is the cause of it; I have to do a follow up in a few months so I'm going to see if I can do this instead of taking medication. As I stated in a response to another post, I…

@MakePeasNotWar thank for the advice!!!! I have done my research and I know the effects of a plant base diet on the body; I take a multiple vitamin already to ensure I get all that need. Currently, the only meats I eat are fish and chicken which I do two- three times a week so I have meatless meals often. Doing this for…

To honestly answer your question you're looking at the wrong part of weight loss; weigh loss is two parts: diet and exercise. To really loose weight you need to focus on your eating habits. Honestly, you can lose weight just by changing your diet. Do not diet, make a lifestyle change. However, at home workouts are…

Rule number one do not look at the scale. Scales are not the best measurements during weight loss; try focusing on body measurements or lose of body fat. Plus, every scale is different. The number can change depending on the surface the scale is on or the calibration. Because you're on your period, that might be the reason…

To answer your question, yes, a calorie is a calorie. However, what you eat depends on how the food effects your body. For example, in the documentary, Fed up, they used 160 calories of almonds and compared it to 160 calories of Coke. Yes, it's the same amount of calories but the coke produces a lot of sugar that turned…

Depends on you personally and what you're using it for. Almond milk is my go to. I use vanilla almond milk for my smoothies. To me it has more flavor than Soy milk. Also, I'm not a big fan of coconut milk but I do love it for my hair lol. I suggest you try all and see which one you like the best.

cincysweetheart thanks for your response. I was telling him I think it would be best for me to work out in the morning because after my night work out I have a lot of energy.

The more movement you do while exercising the more calories you burn. The more intense you're work out is the more calories you burn. I take a class called "body attack" at my local gym, it's an hour long class but we burn 600-800 calories per class. We do a variety of movements. For example, blurpies, squats, lunges etc.…
