i do alot more exericse than i realized and if i ate more carbs on days i exercise, i would eat lots of carbs every day. :s

our soy milk is non-GMO and soy proteins are up for debate. at some level they are healthy (esp since daughter & i both have MTHFR)

i have been like that too. one day, i ended up eating a total of 900 calories and that was FORCED. another day, i had over 1800. it had nothing to do with my carb ratios, either. i'm not sure :|

thank you :smile: my grandmother is 93 and eats the same way! you would think i SHOULD learn a thing or two!

i had two nights this week where i drank alot of wine & ate beef lo mein for dinner. i had to start a new med, and i can't drink alcohol while i'm on it, so it was my last "hooray" for wine. i gained 2 lbs. so keep that in mind when you drink your shake. (and i say WHEN because i know you're going to drink one!)

i'm sorry :( my husband had his gallbladder out about 19 years ago and never had another issue. i hope you get well soon. :)

typically twice. although i might log foods under snacks, they might be included in one of my meals. if i stick to very low carb, i am usually not hungry at all, even when i know i should eat.

i just lost a cousin to ALS, just yesterday. he had been suffering for 7 years. my grandmother died of ALS in 1988. our health is about more than the scale and while i am the WORST at being a scale-watcher, i also know that mental health, cardiovascular health & general wellbeing is of utmost importance. thanks for your…

i was just watching a program with dr. hyman and he was recommending resistance starches such as potato starch. i haven't looked into it yet.

LAST NIGHT! LOL i'm allergic to soy, so i was breaking-out in hives, and i am allergic to wheat, and i ate lo mein noodles. i'm an idiot. LOL :D

i got one for my birthday in november and i use it almost every day. i LOVE it. i got the most expensive one (was a gift) and it is really worth the money. (of course, it wasn't MY money! LOL) it is a great way to get-in greens, and i can also make my protein shakes. it is FAR better than any blender i've ever owned.

cut quest bars into small pieces & bake @ 350 for about 15 minutes. makes delicious cookies!

^^ the above is NEW to most people. we have been DRILLED in our heads our ENTIRE Lives that we must have carbs - and LOTS OF THEM! they make-up the entire bottom of the "food pyramid" so they must be necessary, right??!! (sarcasm...) :# anyway, i think this way of thinking will take a while to bleed into the general…

i think the reason people ask is probably out of general curiosity. they might want to know more but don't know how to ask you about it, or they might assume it's for medical reasons because that is all they have ever heard. i think you're in a great position to educate people.

thank you for your reply!!! i am starting it tomorrow and i'm really scared. my sister-in-law is on it, but she is someone who doesn't watch her diet or "care" about weight gain, so she is the only gauge i have and she is very overweight.

i am so sorry that happened to you - i know EXACTLY how you feel. :(

what is carb value of that brand?

SAM-e (for methylation) 400mg TMG (trimethylclycine - for mehtylation) 500mg lutein (for eye health) 10 mg zeaxanthin (for eye health) 2 mg choline (for methylation) 400mg P-5-P (B6) 40mg FolaPro (folate = B9) 1600mg methylcobalamin (B12) 6000mcg vitamin C 2000mg gamma tocopherol (Vitamin E) 750mg DHA (cold fish oil)…

we have siggi's - i've never noted the carbs. thanks for the tip.

i like oikos triple 0 i eat about 1/8 cup with berries

i dont see anything wrong with it. if you arent hungry, dont eat :)

i take alot. when i get home, i will post my amounts.

i count them. i love salad!!

there is a great book called THE GREAT CHOLESTEROL CON by Dr. Kendrik it explains France, and other countries/cultures a great read.

try pinterest. there are a ton of ideas on there. i made "enchiladas" the other night. tore-up one tortilla, put it in a pan with olive oil, then covered with a little crushed tomatoes, ground beef, cheddar cheese, green onion, baked - then topped with more cheese, sour cream, avocado and more olive oil. delicious! (hubby…

i think that is easy to say and not so easy to live. i was at my healthiest weight/frame/strength/overall health and then i got pregnant. i gained 25 pounds almost instantly (within 3 months) and then lost my baby. i had to have surgery, then another surgery 2 months later. the pounds kept piling on. now, it's been 3 years…

i don't have any answers (i'm new, too) but wanted to say CONGRATS! keep up the good (HARD!) work! :)

yea too bad we can't all get together! we could each take a different flavor!

and there used to be a commercial for HFCS - one lady refuses to drink punch with HFCS and the other lady asks why? the first lady couldn't answer. "brought to you by the corn industry"

i have 7% carbs as my goal, but MFP only allows me to input 5%, but of course when i go to the nutrition section after i log everything, i can see my % and make sure i am at or near 7%. i ended up putting my calorie goal as 2100 calories so that i won't "go over" every day.
