  • I can't drink the sugar-free flavors; but I'm a recovering long time Starbucks-aholic. For a while, I was going through the drive-thru every single day. Bad for my waistline and wallet! I had to get an Iced coffee with1 pump of vanilla and a piece of pumpkin bread. Now I make a coffee with my nespresso and add a little…
  • I don't know what plant foods you eat daily; but here are some of the veggies with the highest amounts of protein (scroll past the soy to #3). Oatmeal also has a lot of protein; and it is gluten-free naturally ( for the very sensitive; buy from a gluten free facility to ensure no cross contamination).…
  • It varies day to day, but usually: Shake and coffee Veggie omelet Boiled egg and shake PB on toast Oatmeal with maple syrup Larabar
  • My sister dealt with this right after Christmas. Part of her regime was nixing all sugar in her diet. She also saw a holistic provider. I believe she took probiotics along with her no sugar (not even fruit) diet.

  • Don't look at my diary! I'm consistently around 1400-1500 calories lately. When I actually meal plan and pre-pack my lunches; I can consistently stay at 1200-1300 calories. For me the key is lots of fresh veggies! If you want to add me; I'm about to get serious about food tracking and staying at my needed calorie intake…

I've done it both ways. Before serving; use a fork and shred the chicken. Serve over cauliflower rice (or sliced…
  • How are you calculating your caloric needs? If you eat more calories than your body needs, you'll gain some weight. How is your body reacting to eating more calories during the day?
  • You've got this! Just take it one day at a time. If you succeeded before; you can do it again. Add me if you want!
  • Do you have a way to track your calorie burn; or are you estimating? If estimating, I agree with OP. I created a workout on MFP with an approximate calorie burn, and I log that. I listed it as cardio even though it is a circuit workout.
