My dad swears by cherry juice. Just a small glass every evening. I don't know how it's supposed to work but he claims it helps. He also stays away from trigger foods (most of the time😉) and had to make some adjustments to other medication he was taking. Apparently, some bp medicines will worsen it. He had to tell his…

I usually add cabbage to my rice to bulk it up, zucchini or spaghetti squash to pasta, mushrooms to ground meat. Definitely can't do full on replacements.

I feel your pain. We had a praline king cake in the office today. I didn't hesitate.

You can do it. Are you seeing a doctor regarding your mental health? Just remember to go slow, I mean SLOW. Getting excited and jumping into too much too fast can cause mental and physical fatigue that is hard to recover from. I find that yoga and daily walking (only as much as you can handle) can help significantly with…

Hormone imbalances definitely can cause fatigue. 7 to 10 days before my TOM I have major fatigue issues that can come and go. Some months are better than others.

No, she means muscle weighs more than fat by volume. And, yes, that's because it is more dense. The "by volume" is implied. No one thinks one pound of one thing weighs more than one pound of another. That makes no sense. Why anyone would ever think that's what someone means by that sentence is beyond me.

Add more veggies to every meal to bulk them up. And while exercise isn't necessary for weight loss, it will give you a few more calories to play with and better your quality of life. But you need to build up your exercise slowly. Start with adding a little bit to your every day and increase it a small amount every week.…

Yellow or green mucus signals an infection. You're sick. Or you have allergies and the pollen is so thick where you are that it's coloring your mucus. This is unlikely if you're not spending a lot of time outdoors. My main allergy complaints are headache and fatigue.

I find that eating breakfast in general makes me hungrier over the course of the day than skipping it, or at least eating it later. Do you have to have breakfast before working out? You may want to try working out in a fasted state then eating afterwards. I find this significantly lowers my appetite. But that's not for…

I have this. Was diagnosed at 16. It's pretty easy to manage if you pay attention to your symptoms. That tilt table test sucks, though.

16/90 I'm behind schedule. Looks like I'll have to work a little harder.

Yes. Chocolate cake with a glass of milk is the perfect breakfast. But that's just me.

Hahaha...I like beets, but that's just too funny.

Hi, everyone. Just joined. I used to do some of Leslie's videos15 years ago, but they fell by the wayside. Recently I found a DVD I bought a few years ago when I was 45 lbs heavier that I never actually used, so I decided to start again. I've gained a few pounds back over the summer because it's just too hot to go outside.…

Sauteed veggies with steamed eggs, with or without toast Ricotta cheese with green onions and your favorite preserves with raw vegetables (I use celery) Cottage cheese with bananas and cinnamon Frittatas (made with whatever you have leftover) Soup Rice with leftover veggies, an egg and sriracha

All the ones I didn't like.

I bet you're fun at parties. What's wrong with letting other people enjoy things? No one is forcing you to like it. Or even read it. Just move on.

Finally, someone who sees Miracle Whip for the abomination it is!

Did W2D2 at 5 this morning. I'm still amazed I can run for 90 seconds. Also glad I live in a warm climate so morning runs aren't too difficult.

Coffee, licorice, red bell pepper, Miracle Whip It's too bad so many people hate cabbage, brussel sprouts, zucchini and mushrooms. Oh, well. More for me!

-Plan your meals around what's on sale. I bought a chicken on sale for $79/lb. I roasted it Sunday for dinner. Made chicken salad for lunches a couple of days. And am now simmering the bones for broth. When the broth is done (2 days in the crock pot) I will feed the bones to my dogs and cat as treats and use the broth to…

All the people telling her to reduce calories must not have seen her first post. I believe she was very close to being underweight, if I'm remembering correctly. Which is why recomp was suggested. OP, please stick with what you're doing, you definitely don't look worse.

Your calories seem really low. I'm the same height and am losing steadily on about 1600 a day.
