My doctor said if in 2 months my sugar stays high I am going to be diabetic type 2. Scared me to death. Read Cardiologist Dr. William Davis "The wheat belly" following the program, and I have lowered my sugar to norm levels, and lost 13 lbs in a month in a half. Food is not worth your life! I cannot even think about going…

I can relate to the obsession with food also. I have recently been all wheat and sugar free for almost two months, I've lost 13 lbs, and I no longer want or desire fast food. The wheat belly by Dr William Davis is very informative on this, as the ingredient Gliceride is an addiction similar to the opiate withdrawal. You…

Read the wheat belly by Dr William Davis Cardiologist. It isn't just gluten that we are allergic to, its gliceride as well. All grains and flours need to be eliminated completely. I'm on 30 days and down 10 lbs

Sugar is poison to our bodies! Fructose from fruits is digested slowly and our bodies need this kind of sweets. White cane sugar and flour anything turns to sugar and then fat. I've eliminated all sugars and grains for 30 days and I eat veggies nuts plain European full fat yogurt, meat and fruits. I'm down 10 lbs

I would have fresh fruit, a variety of nuts, and chicken soup or chicken with veggies or chicken Salads. I would keep a cooler in the motel and have Greek or European yogurt as well. Dice up some Apple and add nuts. Steer away from the above restaurants and look for el pollo loco and chipolte for they use fresh ingredients…

New to vegan life but dedicated to it for health purposes

I love black bean everything, especially soup with cilantro blended in it.

Sugar from cane is processed differently than fruit sugar. It is not advisable to cut out the fruit because it contains a lot of vitamins and minerals and antioxidants that keep diseases like cancer away! Having said that, I always allow fruit in my diet it no processed sugar or cane sugar. Steer away from too many bananas…

I have Hashimotos thyroiditis and I am always in the low range even on high doses of meds Levothyoxin 125 mcg. I gained 60 lbs and it's really hard to lose weight even when you are on a low calorie diet. I found the only way for me to succeed is a low carb no sugar diet and exercise. I'm also cutting out red meat and dairy…

i too have hypothyroid and im on a large dose of meds 100 mcg, and bearly in norm range. im losing weight though and im not starving. Exercising is a must though.

I am trying to determine this as well. I am suppose to be eating 1350, and at first I was eating 1500 and working out burning around 300-400 5 days a week. But...once a week I blow it, like on Friday up to around 2000 cals. I found by doing this, I still lose weight but not 2 lbs a week. more or less it averages out to be…

I am also. Anyone know how many calories we should be consuming?

Wow, U look awesome. BIG DIFERENCE> Sorry about your losses. I just gave birth to a 29 weeker that almost didnt make it and he makes 5 for me.

Im breastfeeding my 6 month old son and Im wondering the same. Do I give extra cals for bf? Im doing (starting today) 1500 calories, thats giving myself 300 bf extras since I do supplement w/ formula. I am also excercising to burn 300 cals. So I will keep u posted to see if it works.

Anyone know how many calories to add when bf?

U look really good. Good job!!!

YOUR NOT EATING ENOUGH CALORIES TO LOSE WEIGHT! This is very common. You need to be eating at least 1200 a day without excersizing. If your at the gym, your burning more calories and your bosy is basically slowing down your metabolism to survive and its really not the way to go. I would sugest you eat at least 1500…

for breakfast i have a english muff, 1 oz of shredded chs, 1 egg over hard and 1 thin slice of ham. Basically, I make my own egg mcmuffin and I feel full till my next meal! Lots of protein!

Just get back on program and dont be too hard on yourself. It happens :drinker:

:flowerforyou: Congrats on your journey. I am also on my long journey to losing 50 lbs. Today wasnt as hard as I thought. :bigsmile:

Congrats! Im new also, and I am really sick of being 50lbs over than my ideal weight. Please aff me to your friend list, and we can encourage each other.

Wow, you look great! That's what I would like to look like after I get this weight off. How did you do it?

I would say no. I was told you can if you want, but if you want to lose the most weight, you should avoid this.
