I found a recipe for mustard glazed chicken thighs that it is one of favorite meals. Easy to make in advance and freeze some so I have it during the work week. You basically use gluten free mustard, sage and sea salt to put on top of the chicken. Oh and I recently found a cherry bbq sauce recipe that is wonderful…

I heard of it an tried it once or twice . Taste was good. I am not a big fan of soups, so I haven't made it sense. But I heard it is very good for you.

I'm just starting on the air, but I tried paleo a long time ago and found milk products are definitely a problem for me with causing inflammation. Large amounts of egg whites also cause instant bloating, gas, and discomfort. My calories end up lower when avoiding these and so far that seems to also be the case on the air.

I am starting an autoimmune protocol - today is day 2. Thanks for sharing your success, Hiwot. It is helpful to hear for inspiration. Question - I heard IB profin is not good on an elimination diet, but I took some for a bad headache. Anyone know if it messes with results of the diet or have an alternative way to deal with…

I have some similar stuff going on - thyroid issues, low in female sex hormones, and issues with a few other hormones. I was diagnosed with low pituitary function making many different hormones low and all making weight loss more difficult. I was just tol an autoimmune disorder may be causing all of it. I don't get results…

I was diagnosed with posted several years ago. I had tons of hormones off- all in favor of weight gain. I highly recommend seeing a naturopathic doctor or at least a doctor who is more holistic. Mainstream medicine is absolutely terrible at dealing with women's hormones. I can't say enough about how much better I currently…

I completely forgot to mention gum. I'm ok with chewing sugar free gum for the week. Salad dressings and sauces on meats and vegetables, no cow bars, and sugar free gum. Otherwise no sweeteners- real or fake.

Sounds good. I want to have no added sweeteners except for calorie salad dressings/sauces on meats and vegetables and 'no cow' bars. I'd like to get to the point of no sweeteners at all soon, but I'll start with this.

I would love to! The best one I've done was one where each person chose their own goal for the time period and reported how they did each week

I also love the thinking of each step! I wear a pedometer and find it really helpful for activities throughout the day. I also focus on building habits. I now am very used to going to the gym in the morning and miss it on my day off. Purposeful mental training can really help also. Try reading out loud a note card each…

I got binge cravings when my calories were too low. I find it helps most to eat something healthy and filling if I'm struggling- whatever nutritional need my body is most likely lacking seems best. I am the opposite of some responses. If I'm feeling like eating a bunch of junk food, I find it most helpful not to take the…

I've been reading the Body Fat Solution, which I think is excellent. It talks about the national weight loss registry for people who kept 30 or more lbs off for a year or more. By far, the majority of those people weigh themselves weekly or more. Granted, that's correlation not proven causation. But, it regular weigh ins…

My personal trainer gave me the ratios of 45%protein, 35% carbs, and 20% fat. She said I could switch the carbs and protein if I lacked energy. I like it with higher protein though.- it makes me feel full with less calories. I've also heard to aim for 0.8 to 1.2 grams of protein per pound of ideal body weight. That came…
