Yogaglo rocks! Tons of classes of varying lengths, levels, and styles with some of the best teachers I've ever worked with. $18/month for unlimited classes.

As a long time practitioner, I agree with the others who recommend a good in-studio teacher to learn about yoga and alignment--not at a gym. There's a big difference. If you have no studios near you, you can try beginner classes on Yogaglo. There are lots of level one and rank beginner classes with excellent, vetted…

Vinyasa flow practice here. I practice in studio or workshops as much as possible and do daily classes at home on Yogaglo. Glad to meet some fellow yogis! I'm not a vegetarian but do focus on organic and pastured foods in my home cooking. Namaste.

Because my main form of exercise is vinyasa flow yoga, I have to practice on an empty stomach or I'll throw up in a hand stand, lol. I do my practice (60-90 mins) and then have a green smoothie.

Thanks for the responses! Will give it some time. Wow, given that I'm struggling to get 1600 in, 2,300 seems like an enormous amount of food. Made it yesterday after a very indulgent dinner. :smiley: Ann--I'm pretty much doing the same. The only added sugar was the 1 tsp in my morning & afternoon tea. The rest came from…

Thank you all for this info. It looks like I should relax about the fat/sugar thing and just do what I can to get enough calories each day.

Thanks for the tips! My concern with full fat dairy is that I already go over my fat allowance every day. And I typically go over with sugar, too, which makes me reticent to drink juices. I haven't been eating "diet" foods. Just real, minimally processed, usually homemade, healthy foods. I had a non-fat latte today just to…
