Although MOST people respond to it, not everyone does. I'm sorry. The drug trials were over 1 year. You may need to give it another month or two. Some things to check* Are you taking it consistently on the same schedule? Not skipping or moving around your dosing schedule. * Are you constipated? Some people get 'backed up'…

Can you use something like Carb Master milk? You can get sweetened with vanilla or chocolate. It's low calorie, low carb, low sugar, and high protein. You could use it to sweeten and make your coffee creamier. The non-flavored is not sweet. But the chocolate or vanilla is slightly sweet. Maybe that would work? Doesn't have…

There is the ever-favorite popcorn--but you can season it with all kinds of different flavors. I love to chop up some petite little red or brown potatoes and cook them in the air fryer. Pretzel sticks and red pepper hummus. Make a bowl of cowboy caviar. It's beans, corn, tomatoes, seasoning, sometimes avocado, black eyed…

Aldi's Dark Chocolate Dessert Hummus tastes like frosting and has protein. I like the CarbMaster Chocolate Milk. Lactose free, with protein, low carb--and it tastes wonderful Hot Chocolate. And to be honest, I like just a plain Hershey's bar, tootsie rolls, and a brownie right from the oven.

If people can't find a pressure cooker, people can look for an Instant Pot at thrift stores. Most instant pots are smaller than a full size pressure cooker. They also have crock pot and a pressure cooker setting. I use the PC setting on mine to make potatoes quickly. I have limited space and am only cooking for me---so the…

Depends. If you mean like a diet pancake syrup? The Kroger Sugar Free Maple Syrup is the best tasting for the price. A little thinner than I like but it doesn't have a weird after taste. I tried a lot of brands when I still ate pancakes. A lot of people like the Log Cabin or Cary's...but I didn't. Kroger store brand had…

I can't figure out how to delete the post so I'd appreciate it if people would just skip this post without replying.

Already have therapy. I had to go off meds because of the side effects. Hopefully only temporarily. I'm just going to see if I can just delete the post because this is just makes me feel worse. I knew I shouldn't have posted at all. I'm just a little tired of how hard it all is.

[/quote] Unfortunately, things will always go wrong. I've often said life is just a series of really bad problems you have to solve. Until you die. Focus on the positive things you have. Yes, you just had a lot of stress renovating your kitchen. At least you have a home. Yes, it's 11 degrees outside. At least you can be…

I have 2 younger dogs. But it is too cold for long walks for them right now. And I've done one day at a time in the kitchen for over 3 months. I've told myself things will get better. Things will get finished---but instead of getting anything taken care of--more things go wrong. I have a few friends but they are busy…

Aldi's dark chocolate dessert hummus (has protein, fiber, low calorie) and it tastes like frosting. Cool Whip and berries 1/2 cup of orange sherbet is only 107 calories and the fat is pretty low. 100 Grand Fun Size Bar--- 80 calories.

I know for many people Ozympic causes quick weighou Yt loss. However, my friend, is taking it and it's a slow weight loss for her. SAFE WEIGHT LOST: In a perfect world, you'd lose 1 pound a week. For 7 months, if everything went perfectly, you'd lose 28 pounds. If you were losing a half a pound a week, 13.5 pounds would be…

During the pandemic, many places used different or heavier germ killers in the water. I wonder if your local pool is using a heavier hand on the chlorine. Chlorine can make you super itchy. Any pool with a very high PH will make you itch. Or you could have become more sensitive to chlorine. To combat it, you need to…

My addiction is salty, crunchy things. I would be successful for six months then fall off the wagon--over and over again. I'm sorry but pop corn just doesn't do it for me. I am on medicine for my ADHD now and it's cut back on the binging. Side effect. So for me, meds are all that worked. But if it's sweets, the dark…

Schools never give you enough time to eat. I'm going to list some options below. I'm going to list quick or frozen items. Super Easy: Salmon Packs. They are like packs of tuna but with Salmon. Doesn't need to be refrigerated. Add some gluten-free crackers and some carrot sticks. Not a fantastic lunch but you have veggies…

Non Cooking Recipe. When you are having an okay day, you can mix this up and eat on it for about 3 days. It's protein and veggies. Low salt. Low sugar. Tasty. VEG CAVIAR * 1 (15.5 ounce) can black beans, drained * 1 (15.5 ounce) can black-eyed peas, drained * Either 1 can of diced tomatoes, drained, OR cut up some grape or…

Something like Estroven can SOMETIMES help control menopausal weight gain. This type of supplement or an estrogen supplement can help with weight gain and other symptoms. But you should always check with your doctor before adding these items. Without that, adding exercise and keeping your blood sugar steady will help some.…

Honestly? I love my air fryer. It's timed, easy, hot, and low effort. I can throw in frozen shrimp with pepper and olive oil spray. I can throw in cut up baby potatoes with black pepper and olive oil spray. I can roast broccoli in the air fryer. Mmm. RECIPE Chicken Kabobs in Air Fryer. REcipe. Shake N Bake Chicken in Air…

Diet soda --because it has carbonation and faux sugar--the combo adds a lot of moisture and sweetness. It's an old Weight Watcher's trick to make low-calorie, moist brownies. So if you can find something both carbonated and sweet---it may still work. Perhaps Monk Fruit Syrup and carbonated water or tea? Monk fruit sugar…

Try banana. It's less wet but still adds moisture.

Applesauce, carbonated soda, banana, peanut butter, honey, coconut oil, sunbutter, dates will all add moisture. You can also use fat-free Greek yogurt. The key will find the right application to add moisture but not make it gooey or crumbly. It's why so many people use honey. Honey can help hold it together and add…

Hola! * 1670 would be the calorie deficit that fits the goal you put in for weight loss. If your goal was to lose 1 pound a week, this would be the daily calories that you should try to meet. You may be slightly under or over it most days. * * If you exercise a lot and log it, it will add additional calories for you to…

Hi, KNEE RESULTS Knee pain impacts so much. My family has a genetic joint issue--so multiple family members have had knee, hip, and shoulder replacements. Knee replacements have been the most helpful/successful. REDUCTION OF PAIN For arthritis pain, nothing will be 100% but these things help some: Aspercreme with lidocaine…

Hope you are doing really well! Although it is a huge change, it can help with diabetes. I hope things are going well. Lou

Hi Sue, Have a great Christmas! Do you have an Aldi's grocery store? They have a dark chocolate and a vanilla dessert hummus. It's made of chickpeas. Only 60 calories for two tablespoons. With pretzels, it's a great sweet snack. Chickpeas have fiber and help with weight loss. Honestly, the chocolate tastes a bit like…

Hey Ian, Cancer sucks. Don't forget to live your life--no one has any guarantees. Remember to keep doing the things that you love to do if you can. Brother, nephew, uncles, cousins--had cancer. Different kinds though. Don't let the disease take over your life. Take care of yourself and keep having fun. Try to add weight.…
