my concern would be the acidity. it can lower your ph :D (closer to nuetral is better) :D

hello!! I have done a tiny amount of yoga for the last 7 years or so, and then this quarter i joined a yoga class at my community college, we did the bikram poses (my instructor was a bikram lifer) but recently i have been to two 2 bikram classes and i already feel hooked! i have 20 classes to go to this summer, but i…

I have worn my hrm in a bikram style class with no heat and burned about 200 cals, it was about 45 min class, then I went to a bikram class and burned over 800, I didn't look at the range my heart rate was, but I was definitely working harder in the bikram class, a lot harder, my heart would go from racing to calm and then…

I see this is an older topic, but i just had my first bikram class yesterday!!! i wore my heart rate monitor, and i burned 822 cals! and i was resting through some of the poses! i do the bikram postures with my community college yoga class, so i was familiar with everything, just never done it in the heated room... after…

i think it depends on the fat content in milk you are used to. i personally don't mind the flavors of really any non dairy milks, but i don't eat a lot of soy, so i don't drink that, rice milk tastes too watery to me, so i prefer almond, coconut, or hazel nut, i do like hemp milk, but i can't drink it unsweetened, and its…

my go to is the GAP, but when I want to feel amazing i go to Nordstrom

word. my babies have nursed until about 2.5, we don't really drink milk though( or eat dairy) , sometimes we make almond milk, and we use full fat coconut milk in cooking.

2-3 eggs, depending on how hungry i am and what i plan on doing, sauteed chard, zuchinni, mushrooms, or peppers, really whatever i got, cook that all together and toss it in some corn tortillas! yum! my bfast today was 340 cals!

when my jeans stretch out after not even a day where they are saggy in the rear, i need to size down!

14%, even better if the 14% guy had the muscle mass of the 10% guy :D

I am 5'6" the most i have ever weighted 9 months pregnant was 253, i started MFP at 226 and am down to 198 my goal is 135

start small, i started by not changing anything,, just logging everything, so i could see where i could cut back, and then just moving your body and meeting calorie goals, you can go from there!

Do you eat eggs? I love lentils, I make a pot and eat them with roasted/steamed veggies... Or my lentil or split pea soup has like 10 g per cup...

Do you eat lentils? I have a great lentil soup recipe and there is a good amount of protien in there, also I love smoothies, I out a ton of flax oil spianch, spitulina, kale etc in there but also been adding hemp seeds, I believe food for life has a raw protien supplement :)

i search for raw veggie juice.. and pick the one that best suits my combo..

i am a vegan, and most of my protein comes from nuts, beans/legumes... i lift, i am seeing results... i think this board is over concerned with powders and protein!

more like bye bye tummy! you look great!!

I am 5'6" started at 226, and am down to 198 now... from a tight 16 and am now comfortably fitting into a 14 starting.. [img][/img]

take a couple days to rest, let your body heal itself <3

Check out the c25k program, go slower than you think you should when starting to go longer intervals, I eat a light snack about an hour before I go. And for stitches if I get one my breathing is usually too shallow, so I will really make sure to exhale completely for a few breaths then they go away

Beats lower blood pressure :)

bookmarking this! thanks!

so you can continue any exercise that you are already doing, your body will let you know when to slow down.. i hiked constantly when i was pregnant with my 3rd, then one day i was 5.5 months and my body was like yeah, you can't do that anymore... as far as food, i would start to ease yourself up to maintenance.. you don't…

My kids love to help juice! And drink it too ! But they are still pretty young

when starting a juice fast, depending on your previous diet and lifestyle choices, its best to be able to carve out some time... from my understanding, the first 2 days you feel decent, maybe a little cloudy in the head, maybe tired , and the 3-4 day you detox, this can feel like you have the flu, after that though, you…

anything one would use butter for, i use coconut oil for! its fantastic! coconut, olive and seasme oil are the only oils in my house :D

i have been gluten free for about 6 years... currently i am forgoing all flours but still eating whole grains, i am also soy free, as well as a vegan, dabbling in a lot of raw foods.

i measure in order to track my food on MFP... but i also will stop eating if i am feeling full... and then adjust my diary entries to reflect that.. i most likely will always measure..because what i think a cup looks like out of a measuring cup will keep growing! lol

i really love Juliano's book RAW the uncook book http://www.amazon.com/Raw-Uncook-Book-Vegetarian-Food/dp/0060392622 i found it at a used book store :) i also have been reading raw food for real people by rod rotondi, its really great! i haven't tried any of the recipes yet though..…

from my experience your body naturally fasts while sick too, your energy goes to healing itself not digesting food.. rest rest rest and don't worry about calories when you are sick
