  • To me, the attraction of trying this is not having to cut more than a couple days a week. I've lost and failed to keep it off more than once, and I like the idea of learning to eat at maintenance most of the time, though I expect my maintenance calories to drop a little before it's all said and done. Thanks for all the…

  • The recommendation for protein for women is supposed to be around 46 grams per day. I shoot for 60-70, around 18% of my daily intake. Fat is supposedly between 44 to 77 grams per day. Again, I shoot for around 50-60, around 35% of my current daily intake. (These numbers are per Harvard Med. School.) The rest I leave to…

  • This isn't my first time trying to lose weight, probably won't be my last. When I was younger, I used to wonder about why people allowed themselves to get fat. Honestly, I'd go up 10 lbs., notice, lose it, rinse and repeat. But life has a funny way of kicking you in the *bleep* sometimes. That's what happened to me. I had…

  • Using caffeine to make it on less sleep is bad, but with a new baby in the house, I recommend Jet Alert; it's around $3 at Walmart for around 90 tablets. I couldn't do that, because I breastfed, but my husband was the one bringing the infants to me and he lived off the stuff for awhile. One thing I've noticed that's made a…

  • I do this, too. Last week, I referred my husband to the pick-up service I use, had him place the order on a new account. He got $10 off his order, I got $10 off my next order. Free protein bars!

  • Best of luck to you! Both my sister and my dad have/had diabetes. My dad (who passed away a few years ago) paid attention to what he was eating after being diagnosed, but my sister is absolutely unworried about any of it. I don't get it. Both of them being diagnosed made *me* more conscious of what I put in my body. I'm…

  • Good for you! I'm interested in hearing more about your protein supplementation. because I don't get nearly enough of the stuff. Tell me about this creatine. I seem to remember in my distant past dating a guy who took creatine supplements, but I didn't really pay much attention. Isn't creatine a form of protein, or is that…
