dark patches and skin tags could be a sign of insulin resistance. Your blood sugar could be normal but insulin high. When you see your doctor; ask for a fasting insulin test

pasta fagioli (macaroni and beans)

quinoa, oat meal/oat bran, beans/lentils, potatoes, whole wheat pasta, brown rice. all high in carbs and fiber and low in fats and sugar.

ground chicken breasts is your friend. we made the switch from turkey to chicken a long time ago. still use grass fed ground beef on occasion. my wife cannot stand the smell of ground turkey cooking.

If you want crunch then toast your bread and add some onion, lettuce and tomato or thin sliced greenhouse cucumber. Stay away from the chips. All of them. Have an apple after. Try and get some nutrition in that crunch. No chips for me, thank you

full fat Greek yogurt with walnuts, flax or chia seeds on top. High in protein, fats and fiber. Use 1, 2, or all 3 as toppings.

If a 70 year old man and his 18 year old grandson, both 200 lbs were stranded on a deserted island for 3 weeks with plenty of water buy very little food. What do you think their weight loss would be after they were rescued. I think it would be about the same for both which I believe would indicate that age has nothing to…

fruit, 1. banana, 2. apple, 3. pear, 4. grapes, 5. orange

I am 6' 185lbs with BMI 25.1. I wear a loose 36" pants. I can squeeze into a 34". My goal is to get into those 34s comfortably. I went from a XXL shirt to a L and 40 pants to 36. I feel I need to loose app. 5 more pounds. I started at 260 a year and a half ago. My goal then was 220 then changed to 190 and now 180. I think…

learn to incorporate flax and chia seeds into your diet. Ex: flax seeds in your yogurt and chia seeds in a protein drink

10 o/z rib eye with large Greek salad and some red wine is on the menu tonight. can't wait

Ezekiel 4.9 bread (in frozen food section)

It sounds to me like your very well organized. keep it up; your doing great

I'll be sipping on my lime flavored, carbonated water. I'm almost becoming addicted to it but it makes me forget about beer and has 0 calories.

I'm almost 70. Been lifting for a long time. I do push one day then pull and day 3 is eliptical I'm now on a weight reduction program to loose body weight. I'm at the point where I never increase my lifting weights as I don't want any injuries, plus I don't need the extra muscle weight. I lift faster and lighter with more…

I always bring a towel with me. I look around and no one uses a towel anymore. If you workout and sweat , then put a towel between you and the bench; if you use cardio equiptment, wipe it down when finished. Also, please rerack your weights when finished and everyone can have a pleasant day.

I had to have a b12 shot due to a b12 defeciency. I was told to start taking a b12 supplement. I now take a zipfizz before my workouts and it gives me clarity during my workouts. Zipfizz was the highest b12 supplement that I could find over the counter. I like it and will continue using it for now.

I think it takes 2 to 3 days for your body to digest red mean and 2 to 3 hours to digest chicken. Does that mean anything? I don't know.

I first would get clearance from your doctor before starting any exercise. If Ok then join a gym that has weight machines for each body part. Have someone from the staff show you how to adjust and use each machine. These machines are great for a full body workout for someone who desires strength increase. I don't think…

I'm almost 70 and work out 5 days a week. As you get older, the joints wear out and your ligiments are not as flexible. If you go past what your joints and ligiments will allow you may cause an injury. I have been lififting weights a long time and you can't get felexibility back but you can retain your muscles. I know that…

I usually take a zip fizz B12 drink before and protein drink after.

I work out at the gym at least five days a week. I need my 125 grams of protein a day. I try and divide my protein up into at least four meals a day. I try to keep my carbs under 100 grams. If I go too long without eating any protein I would have to consume double or triple at a later time which is too much for me. I watch…

I'm never hungry at lunch but I always have a protein shake with avacado and flax or protein powder and frozen berries w/flax. I know my body needs this even if it gives me no signal. I'm then good till the evening. I just can't see going all day without some nutrients.

ezeikel 4.9 bread and english muffins

thanks nvmomketo, this makes a lot of sense to me. I think that is actually what is happening to me. I tried to go below 50g carbs per day but had headaches. I think i'll up my carbs a little, like the doctor said and also your advice.

I try to keep my carbs under 100grms so I can have more protein and fats in my diet. Is 80 to 100 grams of carbs too high for a low carb diet. My cholesterol, triglicerides and blood sugar are normal from eating this way. Am I missing something by not going lower on my carbs. I am loosing weight and work out 45min, 5 days…

If you use salt for cooking or on your food; you could try Mortons Lite Salt which has 350 mg per 1/4tsp. of potassium.

i added ezeikel 4.9 sprouted bread and fiber one cereal along with my other foods

I had low B12 and just had a shot. No side affects. I also started taking zipfizz every morning to try and bolster my B and B12 vitamins
