pasta made from veggies, low or no sugar sauces, always chose whole foods over processed, let the kids help. (with everything, shopping list, shopping, prep, cooking, clean up). it will take longer but the effort pays off for everyone one. simple changes like adding potato to cabbage or cauliflower, peas or corn into mac…

I drink it work's greens everyday, also take Confianza everyday from it work's both detox. I did a 21 day cleanse called the Daniel Fast the first of Feb. and had only modified it slightly since by adding fish and eggs. I feel better than ever!!!! my rheumatologist has wanted me to do this for years. I have RA and IBS,…

A nurse practitioner is also an option, NP's can order, test, labs, PT/OT, medications, therapeutic exercise programs....They also (usually) have more time to spend with the pt, teaching and listening. I hope you see someone that can help you soon. The things you do when you are young you pay for when you are old....

Love Leslie!!!

:flowerforyou: I'm in!!! friend me!

I love how MFP works, I love that I just plug and chug. I have friends both cyber and physical on here. I was an OA member and are line was.....it works if you work it.

Yes sucrose, lactose, cellulose, fructose are all different molecular structures and metabolized differently with different by products.

LOL, got some real cranky pants on here today! sugar is sugar but the nutrients that come in an apply vs apple sauce vs apple juice vs apple jelly is different as is the fiber content and the mechanism of action how the body digests the product. if you were to just go a week with out simple, concentrated sugars and complex…

As a FNP I prescribe anti-inflammatory diets frequently for many of my patient's. I have RA, IBS, diabetes and psoriasis, so I too benefit from the anti-inflammatory diet. I started the Daniel fast 2-5-14 and have lost about 14 or so pounds since. I did not expect to lose that much that fast. I had been told many times…

I was looing @ the snow records and noticed that this was the most snow since 1982, I am moving to FL in a few months, I have been here (Indiana) for about 22 years this time and the last time I moved to FL......1982! a girl can only take so much for so long and....I'm out!

friend me, :smile: I will journey with you

your doc sounds like he is a real people pleaser or just lazy and wanting to get you out of the office by offering a "quick fix". Sad story either way! You can choose complex carbs and good fats and this will keep you healthy and happy. carbs help with serotonin that is a feel good hormone. complex carbs take longer to…

hi, feel free to friend me. I am going to be 52 soon. I have waxed and waned over the years and since HS I have always leaned towards a low carb/Atkins type diet. I have tried vegetarian diet in the past usually in the spring and I don't make it long. This year I started the Daniel fast with my church on Feb 3rd. My body…

There are fruits that have a lower glycemic index than others. Melons, berries, Asian pears are all pretty low. eating the fruit whole is better than processing it. For me fruit takes away my sweet tooth and decreases my chances for failure. Best wishes!

Plan for waking up and eating, cal so you can fit the midnight snack in your plan. Maybe your Higher Power wants to tell you something and that time awake will give you special one on one time. You can over come this but it is ODAT and focus. Letting go of the familur is never easy. Journaling always helps.

we have the no thank you bite at our house too. if you do not like what is on the table you are free to have peanutbutter or cheese sandwich. if you do not want to eat that is ok but everyone has to come to the table becasue that is where we fellowship and communicate. the table is more than food. sometimes we have fancy…

after four pages of advice.....i am sure you got the idea! Let me tell you as a provider in a busy ER i can assure you if you do not take the "bull by the horns" now, it will never get any easier and you will live to regret it.

congratulations you should be proud of yourself and the Grace that got you were you are today. i am moving in that direction as well and i am thankful. i like the quoat i just read about living and loving in this moment as that is were my life is and i am trying to do that. i am going to be 50 in april and like the song…

that is mean, mean people suck. consider the source. i am from Indiana not so diff from MI or PA in the American made arena. btw new balance shoes are the only American made shoes now. lots of folks out east lost jobs thanks to out sourcing. we get judged by lots of stuff, cars and shoes and body shape. some folks are so…

congratulations, healthy speaks for itself!

congratulations. time for pics! keep us the good work.

i agree with the bigger snack smaller meal

this is very good advice

shoe carnavel has very good prices and you can try them on. ordering shoes on line never works for me. i have a friend that orders shoes on line all the time.....not for me.

what are you planning on? running, walking or dancing? when you know what you are planning on spending most of your time doing that will help narrow the field. once you know what type of shoe you want. google for the top 5 or 10 of that type then go back to the shoe store and see if they have any of the top 5 suggested…

They can because they think they can.

They can because they think they can.

They can because they think they can.

being here, making good and healthy choices, eating health, exercising, being free, losing weight makes me feel strong. it makes me feel good about myself, i feel like a winner. and you will too, just do it!
