I use it all the time. I brown it up with Simply Organic All Purpose seasoning and Sea Salt. Tastes great that way. Some of my favorite ways: I mix the browned meat with salsa and put on taco salads (plain greek yogurt instead of sour cream of course) I mix it with steamed cabbage, DelAllo Fat Free Marinara and Low Fat…

Make sure you are getting enough protein with your carbs (in meals and/or snacks) it will keep you feeling full longer. Plain greek yogurt with fruit is a good one. The flavored greek yogurts can sometimes be high in sugars.

Sounds like you need a new nutritionist and dr. If you are loosing inches I wouldn't worry about any gain. How many days a week are you doing this? You have to give your muscles time to repair.

This is what I feed my daughter for lunch alot Arnolds sandwich thins - 100 calories 2oz lowfat lunch meat. - 50-60 cals ( Get that protein in!) 1 apple ~ 60-80 calories

Non-scale victory.

Thanks. My daughter is 13 and definitely has her own style. A few things I maybe able to borrow but not most. Not sure if she was mad or not, she did have a funny look on her face lol. She's recently put on a little weight and I'm working with her on getting her to understand what she is eating. We found that the worst of…

Not all greek yogurt is created equal! Check the labels before you buy. I think the plain ones are probably all ok, but I know the Dannon and Activia (sp?) add ALOT of extra sugars to the flavored ones. The flavored fage and Stoneyfield organic do also, but I think those were all natural sugars though I can't recall…

My main ones are medifast. Very expensive but very worth it. I also have an atkins now and then. The advantage and daybreak aren't to bad sugarwise, but can be highish in fat. The hazelnut is very good, Sam's club is so evil:) For my kids I get chocolite protein bars - 95-100 calories,6fat/9gr prot /1gr sugar , Detour lean…

Glad to know I'm not the only one. My coworkers laugh at me because I'm walking around indoors in lined boots over wool socks over athletic socks, thermal underwear (top & bottom), heavy pants & sweater, fur lined hoody and fingerless gloves. I'm going to dread the winter (Michigan). Wonder if I can get away with bringing…

I just fold my over and stuff them in Bali Elegant U!

Each person's body chemistry is different. I can tell you this, when I do low carb, I feel so much better. I loose weight, I have energy, I'm not b*tchy. I'm actually a bit hyper low carbing because I've so much energy now lol.

Very likely the majority of that is water weight. But at your height and male, 1200 calories seems extremely low.

I'm on medifast so I'm staying between 950-1200 cals / day. Some things I've learned to do. - Read the labels on everything you buy. Some thing that you think would be ok, like oatmeal and yogurt, they can add ALot of sugars to. - DelAllo makes a fat free all natural marinara that also happens to be low carb. I've used it…

How are your clothes fitting? What does the tape measure tell you? Are you getting enough water in? Are you tired/hungry? Be careful of eating to few calories with heavy exercise, your body could go into starvation mode.

I try to get between 100 - 150gr, normally around 130gr of lean healthy protein.

You also have to watch the yogurt. Depending on the brand some are extremely high in sugars.

I mix it with steamed cabbage, browned ground turkey, Delallo Fat Free Marinara and Simply Organic All Purpose Seasoning. Makes a tasty low carb "lasagna"

My daughter since puberty has always been a little overweight. She's decided she wants to do something about it now so I set her up with an account on myfitnesspal and am helping her log everything she's eating so she knows exactly how many calories and what kind they are. Depending on the maturity of your daughter this…

I'm low-carbing it, and it's torture to goto Olive Garden because I love pasta. But what I found out is they will substitute veggies for pasta. I got the Steak Gorgonzola and had them put it over broccoli and zucchini instead of the fettuccine. It tasted great, still high fat, but alot lower in carbs. Don't be afraid to…

I got a family membership at the Y and we all go and work out and swim together. If you can afford it hire help for things that make sense. Prioritize the things you think you need to do, maybe some can be put off or maybe you can come up with a more efficient method. If you find you are having to do laundry alot, buy more…

I'm been on medifast since last November and lost 112lbs. My hubby has lost > 140lbs and my in-laws have both lost around 100lbs in a similar time period. Medifast is a whole plan and leads to lifestyle changes. Yes if you go off plan and don't transition and maintenance you will regain. But that is true for any plan! I'd…

Wonder if you can substitute Flax Meal for the egg and/or butter.
