I didn't take any before pics, but I agree that looking at others' progress is inspirational!

I take pure sulfur crystals for fibromyalgia. I've been doing it for about 3 months now. It helps quite a bit with muscle pain. I use to feel sore for a full week or more after just a simple workout or even walking more than usual, which kept me from doing much of anything. I'm now able to go to a beginner Pilates class…

A few drops of eucalyptus and rosemary essential oils in steam can do wonders for clearing sinuses. There are some combinations of oils that work well on coughs and pain relief too.

I agree, the antacids might be making it worse. They did for me. My nutritionist figured out that I had low stomach acid and suggested ACV and/or digestive enzymes. I take a product called Zypan. (I can't get used to the taste of the ACV.) It's been a huge help with stomach pain! I would be suspicious about the a/c being…

Everyone looks great! I'm really amazed at how much younger everyone looks in the after pictures. I've always heard that having a few extra pounds makes you look younger, but that is clearly not the case here. I wonder if it has more to do with the weight loss or healthier diet...

I agree, this would be perfect for the Launch Pad!

I’m primarily vegetarian and for what it’s worth here’s my opinion: It is very easy to eat poorly as a vegetarian. I was horrible when I first stopped eating meat. I substituted carbs like pasta, rice and potato based dishes for the meat. My fat intake became a lot lower and big surprise, I gained weight. I was definitely…

Sunny Bunny did a great job of explaining it. She's right that everyone's threshold is different. I have the opposite problem from her and get stomach aches when I eat meat, so I'm primarily a vegetarian. I rely mostly on eggs and dairy for protein along with vegetables. It makes a Keto diet a little more difficult, but…

5'3" and 136 lbs aiming for 120. All the weight is in by belly and butt. Skinny little chicken legs - not a good look!

SW 147 CW 136 GW 120ish (short and small boned) I adjusted my carbs up a bit so that I could have more fruit. Unfortunately I used up the extra carbs with wine instead. On the plus side, I did stay within my allowance, but I’m putting my carb goals back where they were and will try adding in a little fruit later when I’m…

I’ve done really well this week and kept on target with everything. I haven’t really exercised in a year or so and thought I would try a Pilates class. “Piece of cake,” I thought, “it’s just mat work, no cardio. I can do that.” Ugggg – I think I was the youngest (at 49) and most pitiful one there. Those silver haired…

[quote="samanthaluangphixay;36811692 What about avocado? Do you eat butter? If you eat salmon, try to have it with the skin on. [/quote] Thanks, I will try to add butter to more things, I didn't think of that. I do eat guacamole, so I will just have to find some avocado recipes. :smile:

So what would be some other ways to increase fat for someone who doesn't eat meat (except occasionally salmon) and really does not care for coconut oil at all? I do eat a lot of nuts and olives, but it's getting kind of boring.

When I was in high school I was extremely thin and often accused of being Anorexic. The funny thing is, the nutritionist I worked with back then encouraged me to eat more fat to help gain weight. That was back in the 80’s when everyone thought that eating fat made you fat. Well, guess what, I did NOT gain any weight and…

Thank you for adding me to the group! I’ve gained 20 pounds since giving up meat almost 10 years ago. My nutritionist explained it’s likely due to too many carbs. I’ve been low carb for almost a month now and am already feeling better and losing weight. This is my first challenge and it’s really inspirational to read…

Pinterest has a lot of recipes. Search for Vegetarian Keto.

I've been on a keto diet for about a month, I'm also a vegetarian. The first week I felt more tired and weak than usual (I have fibromyalgia, so I am usually tired.) I also had a mild headache for 2 days. Now I feel better than I have in a long time, I'm not craving carbs and don't get as cranky when I am hungry. Make sure…

Thank you! I didn't even think of Pinterest :)

I've been doing Keto for almost a week and down a few pounds already. I'm a vegetarian and having a hard time figuring out what to eat besides eggs, cheese and some veggies. Any advice or good sources for easy recipes?
