For the most part, the vitamin/supplement industry is a multi-billion dollar waste of money - unless you cannot get what you need from your diet, or your blood work and your doctor suggests you need supplemental help. I know people who cram handfuls of junk down their throat everyday, just to pee it out or build up…

Love Alaska! Used to travel there a lot before I retired. Good luck with your plan.

I've been teetering on Pre-diabetic for a couple of years now. Morning fasting sugar usually between 105 and 118. I've proven to myself that it can be better controlled by watching carbs. I can get it under 100 if I discipline myself. Easier said than done.

68 years old here. I've got another 12 lbs to go to hit my high-school weight. I've been fighting "mindless" eating for a long time. Find myself grabbing chips or crackers while watching TV and have no idea why. Not hungry at all - just a horrible habit. Anyways, really set on losing the weight and improving habits. Good…

A more accurate label for "Starvation Mode" is simply the "Fat Storage" mechanism.

I believe it's the version that brings back aspartame. Bad news ingredient.

My goal weight is what I weighed my last year in high school. I'm 68 now and only 8 pounds away. It's a hard 8 though!

As many have said, there is no such thing as wild tilapia. All farm raised in various stages of polluted water. (Some better than others). I stick to wild salmon or pollock. Man, try to find wild caught shrimp. Almost impossible in my area.

Aside from the sugar in regular soda and the usual suspects in artificial sweeteners, the phosphoric acid found in many sodas is very detrimental as it robs calcium from your system. It took me awhile but I finally moved to unsweetened ice tea with lemon.

1 tablespoon half & half and blueberries with Truvia sweetener.

I personally found that cutting back on simple carbohydrates helps. Increasing protein seems to curb my cravings. My personal favorite is a couple of celery stalks with cream cheese.

Well, it's obvious that your purpose in life is to argue and disagree with most everything. So much for starting a spirited conversation. I'll leave you alone.

The whole point is that a great percentage of the population spend more money maintaining their car than their body.

I love to stir up people's passions. Speak up folks!

The downside of a sugar high .... feeling lethargic, moody, less satisfied.
