Olive oil is meant to be used at room temp. I use it as a drizzle. It can degrade during frying or saute. I do not even like it on a pizza; the flavor is too much in conflict with the bright tastes of tomatoes and fresh vegetables and herbs. Instead I use a high quality organic coconut oil. It is a solid at room temp and…

Sorry... It's Tazmanian PeaBerry....

Try Tasmanian Peabody if you can find it... Bold, smooth and naturally has a sweet soft flavor. Also, try adding a pinch of salt and some thing proud (eggshells or a cinnoman stick) to it. The salt balances any acidity and the porous substance absorbs the oils (so they don't go rancid from the heat if the coffee is not…

Long commutes are typical in the greater DC metro area...mine is 1.5 hrs each way. Listening to audiobooks is good but I can only stand a chapter or two at a time before I zone out. For me, TED talks are much better.... Bite sized chunks of inspiration and intelligent perspectives. Worth a try to get you through. For…

Like you said. Great advice which I will follow. Thank you. :smile:

I am in a wellness program at work. It is led by a nurse and a nutritionist and we meet weekly for an education session. I wear a FitBit and it is connected to MyFitnessPal (MFP). The first three weeks, I was using the default macro calculator in MFP. With about four pounds down, I recognized that I needed to change the…

I make Greek pizza. A crisped pia, brish with olive oil, sliced on tomatoes, agreed a few bail leaves and a few oregano leaves on them, sightings on parmesan, feta, and fresh sliced of low fat part skim mozzarella. Use the cheeses like flavoring (not like a layer of concrete)! ... Put under a broiler for two or three…

Though I strongly believe in a free press, there are some shows that need warning labels. TBL is one of them. "This show abuses desparate human animals. It is not recommended to anyone with compassion."

I used to eat three, the largest last. I got overweight doing that because I would go to sleep too full. That messed with my sleep and with my digestion which messed with my energy levels. Now I eat six, two hours apart roughly. My body knows when it will be fed and my energy stays consistent throughout the day. So maybe…

Can relate. At 5 feet tall, I plan to lose 30. It is a lifestyle change. A self education. Here is what my nurse and nutritionist told me and is working for me. Start by just tracking to see what you are putting into your mouth and how much you move right now. Step up the vigor of your daily movement (cleaning, gardening,…

Not an expert but have heard that the type of fatigue you are describing typically occurs from mineral deficits... Particularly if you are sweating a lot or are not fully hydrated during your training. Muscles need minerals as catalysts to keep firing. Look for deficits... particularly in potassium or magnesium. Ask a…

Here's my strategy... I always have a bit of protein with my little sweets - that way my sugar levels stay relatively stsble so a craving (need for sugar level balance) is averted. My favorites? 1. Sliced apples dusted with cinnamon sugar along with blue diamond almonds dusted with coconut. 2. A banana sliced, drizzled…

Take cranberry sipplements.. They help female intestinal health.. Also makes the digestive track more acidic so goodbye frequent blatter infections

Start with small changes. Our bodies are delicate systems if systems with sensitive biochemical triggers. If ten minutes of movement added to your regime is all you can do without hurting your joints, so be it.

It isn't just about weight loss. My experience says it's about giving your body the nutrients it needs. If you eat 1000 calories a day and they are from potato chips and french onion dip, your body (if it has good instincts like mine) is going to take over and your will power won,'t have chance. Use fitness pal. Watch your…
