I think this is poor place for you to get the kind of information that you truly need, and it would be wise to avoid any of it that is offered. If your wife has blood sugar issues, that is serious business that needs to be handled by your health care professional. Your best bet for really good information while you are…

It is interesting to me, how many of you say that you buy a pint and then you eat the entire thing. The most prominent sweetener in this is erythritol. It is not really good stuff. And, one of the bad things about it, is that it keeps your brain from registering satiation, so you just keep eating it. It is also known to…

Theo!

If you are fond of meats and cheeses, I would recommend that you get three things onto your shelves: nutritional yeast, virgin coconut oil, and Daiya shredded "cheese." One of the most important nutritional aspects of being a vegetarian or a vegan, is getting enough of vitamin B 12. It is essential for your sense of…

WAY too much sugar in them for me. I think if you are using it up being very active, fine, but as a meal replacement at the office, not so much.

Totally can do this. Eat a fresh loaf, I mean. I admire the people who divvy a loaf up putting it in the freezer for later consumption, or who "hide" it in order to stay out of it. All I would do is to obsess on it, thinking about all the possibilities. Finally I'd just pull out twice as much as I'd have eaten if I'd just…

Google "artificial sweeteners and obesity." You will find all sorts of well-conducted and documented studies tying AS to obesity and diabetes. Not exactly the outcome you are after.

Boiled eggs: yes! BTW if you fish them out of the hot water and drop them in icewater for a minute and then dunk them back in the hot water before you really cool them, they peel perfectly. It took me 57 years to find this out!

They keep very well. Drop them in a Ziplock bag or big lidded container. If you find they aren't keeping long enough, you can just nuke fresh ones the night before you need them. Simplest baked veg ever.

This logic is not valid. Chocolate has never affected me negatively, but the tyranine in it gave my nursing son terrible headaches. For 36 months, I was limited to one chocolate chip a day. Any more and my son screamed in pain.

I would heed the warning. It may just be an issue of CYA, but there may be something that is contraindicated for your babe. If you must use this kind of product, find a good "clean" one. Maybe something simpler. I hope your bf goes swimmingly. I loved it, and bf'ed my son 36 months. He's 14 now and I still miss it.

I loved the book "I Quit Sugar." It is not a "detox" diet, and is a humane and science-based way to get control of your consumption. Takes about 8 weeks, not cold turkey, and you are still allowed a couple of low-glycemic index sugars, and no artificial sweeteners. Her recipes are tasty and satisfying. The idea is to clear…

Be sure to read the ingredients. There is very little "food" to replace a meal. There are 4-5 kinds of sugar, natural and artificial, several kinds of oil, and a bunch of unpronounceable chemicals. It may be low cal and somewhat filling, but so is a great big mixed salad with with a few ounces of grilled chicken-- and it's…

I plan on having such an awesome run, Morgan Freeman should narrate it.

Agree with getting a good shoe fitting. Be sure you go to a small running store, not a big box. They are going to give you the best fit. Also, when I look at the c25k plans, I always feel like they aren't really meant for untrained runners--even the "beginner" plans. They appeare to me to assume that you can run much…

Check out the classic "Laurel's Kitchen." Still great recipes and nutrition advise after 30 or 40 years. And the recipes are not fussy. The main things you need to watch are that you get complete proteins (dairy, eggs and tofu are all on their own, otherwise you need to mix grains, beans and nuts, any two of those at one…

Depends on how far over. When people say things like " you just pee out the excess" they neglect the fact that your kidneys still process stuff on its way on through. Over time, you can cause damage. Also, too much C, in my actual experience, can cause other problems. A friend who took 1000 a day developed an open sore on…

As a skinny, athletic middle schooler in the 70's, I was told that girls can't pole vault because we are butt heavy. Right after I'd successfully made my first attempt. That coach is dead now.

I'm not sure why a pp said women don't gain muscle. Of course we do! Muscle weighs more than fat. I would conjecture that if you took on a long and hard paper route, you are probably converting some fat to muscle, so you would tend to gain--at least initially. It is better to consider if your body has changed. I'm an old,…

Psyllium husks are your friend! 4.5 gms/ tablespoon. You don't want to use a huge amount of this, but if you sprinkle a couple of tablespoons over various things you eat in the course of the day you can up your fiber significantly. Also be cautious about getting too much fiber if you start supplementing. Too much fiber can…

If you're working out more than you used to, also remember that muscle weighs more than fat. You may be putting on muscle so if you are staying approximately the same size, It may be that you are putting on muscle! Give it some time.

I am not celiac, but I am definitely gluten sensitive. I've been gluten-free for about five years now. It has not made me lose weight. Most of what I eat I make at home, so not a lot of it is processed. A lot of commercial gluten-free foods are very sugary,so the people who use commercial replacements have trouble with…
