I gained about 10lbs when my grandmother passed, and I was living with a very toxic person. Moved out. Getting my life back together ... What got me back in the game was doing a parasite cleanse Eye opening! I'm Completely recommitted to my health!

Your symptoms sound like low carb flu/Keto flu, aka sugar withdrawals It's a great sign that your body is purging toxins and trying to kick its sugar habit Usually, it will last a few days/weeks (headaches, fatigue, bloating, cramps are all typical symptoms) If you are really concerned, of course see your dr But when you…

People may not believe me but Candida overgrowth or parasites can cause depression/anxiety/other mental health disorders (Along with other issues like IBS) Candida and/or Parasites are pretty common but modern medicine hasn't really treated them or hospitals just shove medication at you There are a lot of books and…

There are certain foods I just can't eat because I know once I start it will be incredibly hard for me to stop or I'll lose track quickly of how much I've eaten. After a few months of not eating those foods (chips and almonds mainly) I don't even crave them anymore :) Maybe if you do buy ice cream, buy a smaller container?…

You got thisssss B)

Things that might help when you're thinking of overeating might be things that will change your focus away from food. Maybe drink 2 glasses of water when you think about over eating. That usually makes me feel refreshed, refocused, and reconsider whatever I might be about to do. Create healthy Habits. Binge eating has…

If you can, address the emotions behind the desire to eat. Find a different way to cope. Life is tough! You're not alone. Nourish yourself with healthy foods and lots of love. You are worth it! Unhappiness is the first sign that something powerful stirs inside of you. A sign that it's time to change. Grow. For the better.…

Way to go! You look great!

GMOs have TONS of pesticides on them (since they're made to be resistant, so farmers spray them more now than ever) that AREN'T good for us and many are known to cause cancer. You are what you eat. If you're eating food with modified genes, what do you think that will do to your DNA? Is that a risk you want to take?

I am so proud of you! :) Your story really touched me.

Awesome!!

I don't worry about chemicals in food because I make all my food from scratch, so I don't have to worry as much as someone might who eats processed foods. I do worry about the pesticides used on the veggies I get. A lot of them are known carcinogens. Studies show farm workers who spray pesticides have an average life span…

Trying to lose weight with MFP and succeeding ... Even if it's a small success Realizing it's Possible and within your Control!

I can get caught up in eating carbs too. My solutions: I either only cook a small portion, and that's to hoping I'm too lazy to make more, or I portion out my meals ahead of time in containers. I make a plate and tell myself: this is all I'm going to eat. That forces me to slow down and enjoy it. Even if I'm still hungry…

Anemia? Are you getting enough iron? When I tried to eat a vegetarian diet I started having dizzy spells. Added an iron supplement and the dizzy spells stopped. Bck to eating organic grassfed meat though.

Sugar free most of the time. And I stay away from foods I'm allergic too (happens to include wheat and diary - lactose intolerant) I feel great! I honestly believe in the blood type diet too. When I eat according to that my skin just GLOWS! Love it! And pounds drop off. One cool thing about the blood type diet is that it…

Happy to hear you survived! How scary. Glad you are feeling stronger and back in the game! Good luck on your journey!!

Eat when I'm hungry 80/20 - plant based food/other foods Generally avoid sugar and processed foods (addictive to me) Avoid foods I'm allergic to Weigh 1xweek at least Work out at least 3xwk Eat organic when I can Eat meat with no added hormones - the hormones added to meat affects my mood/weight Log every day - I think…

Don't beat yourself up. Some days we eat more, other days we eat less. Stay the course. Focus on the next minute, hour, day. You don't have to be perfect to lose weight. :)

Just a thought - certain foods may be triggering your constant snacking. I know I have certain foods I can't stop snacking on (nuts/chips) and had to remove them from the house. Maybe snack on food you know you can be disciplined about! Good luck!

You look amazing! Keep it up!

Most protein powders are made in China and contain dangerous heavy metals in them. (You can see this if you were to wave a magnet around the powder). I use Warrior Food protein supplement. (I was worried about getting enough protein too). Here are other healthy options!…

There are different types of Stevia sweeteners that are SOOOO good! Try them out. It's from a plant - way better for you! I use SweetLeaf Organics

Tea is better to me, but not for weight loss reasons Not drinking coffee for me = 1. Better complexion (yay!!!) 2. Amazing bowel movements (tmi I know) Everyone is different though :)

I only weigh myself at the gym. Motivation to go!
