Sorry but you are lying to yourself if you think you have no control what you eat. You ALWAYS have the decision to make good choices and its completely in your control. Its up to you to make the right choices and decisions, family or not. If you are going to a buffet, there are no tricks... you know what is considered…

Even though Im on a 1600 calorie restriction per specialist's orders, they are aware that when I work out, that Im going to need more fuel so I am choosing to eat back some of the exercise calories... You have to be alot more dedicated to meal planning and make sure you never net below 1200... it is not medically advisable…

Because negativity is all they have known. Sometimes its easier to accept the negativity because that is all you received... to receive positive feedback or comments would put them in a place where they think 'hey buddy, go screw and stop messing with me".. often the positive feels like sarcasm...

I believe you have just experienced your first Foodgasm... Im so very proud of you!!!!!! 8-D I make homemade hummus at home (I cant stand the hummus at the stores, UGH)... I make different flavor combinations including a Pasilla/Roasted Red Pepper with roasted gahhhlic... THAT is a party favorite! I make my own pita chips…

For coffee, we purchase (in bulk) New England Coffee out of Malden, MA... We absolutely love the Hazelnut Creme, French Vanilla, Chocolate Raspberry, Chocolate Cappucchino, Banana's Foster, Kahlua, Mocha Mint.... I only add light cream to my coffee. The flavored coffees have enough sweet to curb the need for sugar... I…

NOOOOOOOOO not early at all! That is what the thread is for - posting your ideas for what you do for a holiday meal, appetizer, soup, salad, dessert, sauce, ANYTHING!

I am the die-hard nonconformist when it comes to breakfast. I save my typical breakfast food items for Sunday when I cook for my husband and I. Today, as an example: I have smoked chicken wings, a wonderful wild green salad and homemade ranch dressing for my breakfast. My favorite breakfast will be my smoked brisket,…

Sorry thats not an option - in my house, social convention dictates that my plate must have TONS of chili pepper flakes! LOL!

My 19yr old daughter will be embarking on an awesome educational endeavor of Criminal Psychology at one of the local universities in New Hampshire... One of her high school teachers, a former Police Officer gave her a high recommendation for this field and a killer letter for college.... Very proud of how well she grew…

I had so many little extras from previous food prepping that I thought it would be good to throw a soup together. Here in NH, its much colder in the morning and I am often really craving soup - the Fall mornings really bring it out of me! So, I pulled out zucchini, summer squash, a batch of my homemade marinara, celery,…

Perhaps if you opened up your food diary, you could get better suggestions... its going to take alot more than late night snacking-omissions to be honest....

It can take up to 24 hours for the body to reproduce one ounce of cerebrospinal fluid. You dont have a choice - you have to be patient.... If you are having symptoms that you are concerned about, you really need to contact the clinic directly to let them know.... Exercising is not important at all right now - the more…

Your chair must never ever have 'arms' - that is for people who have poor upper body strength and use them for help with propping up. The best type of chair will actually help force you into keeping balance. They now have chairs that mimic the exercise balls from a gym, providing ultimate support, proper spinal alignment…

Scored 97% ... as it should! 8-)

Where I cook 100% fresh all the time, it will really be similar to just another day but have a menu planned already ahead of time. Christmas dinner is always something I throw on the grill - yes, I grill outside in the middle of winter as much as possible!!!! Fresh Prime Rib Au jus made from the prime rib Freshly grated…

Well to be honest, you already answered your own question. Ask yourself just how serious are you about your health? If the answer is yes, then allowing cupcakes and sandwiches would never have happened. Do you really want to go through hell trying to get back your low-carb intake again as a result of not making the right…

Well hell Vim, when you find a helluva good sale, why not go bat-crap crazy?!?!? LOL!!! I have hickory-smoked sea salt, himalayan pink salt, and kosher salt.... OHHH and margarita salt too - for my tequila lime marinades! LOL!!!!

No one mentioned a sports clinic... there are sports-related MD's who do practice out of Primary Care offices...

The type of oil used for pan frying can make a difference. Won Ton soup is a salt-ridden broth - you dont even have to recognize salt by taste, simply the fact that the broth features different salt components Pork dumplings: did you have them steamed or fried? Steamed - they will still use oil. The pork filling often…

Because this is medical-related, you should definitely consider talking with a physician, perhaps a Sports-Medical Doctor... You could very well be just overworking yourself... If you have an HRM, keep track of the data available... and bring that with you to your doctor's visit....

WEIRDOS UNITE! There is something sexy when you have some lovely browning of the cheese.. MY GAWD its killer and addictive!

From a medical perspective - if you consider Predisone is taken from the highest dosage and then weaned as each dose becomes smaller and smaller... that is the typical prescription. I dont know which script you were issued, but that is the number one drug that must start off as a high dose and it gets tapered from there.…

The number one indicator to determine if a person actually consumed real, fresh foods versus traditional 'take-out' is the signs and symptoms one indicates. The OP clearly indicated the symptoms of consuming the americanized version of chinese take-out. Its not an assumption, its a culinary fact. If you read my last post…

Dont eat anything from the "Whites" type of foods of today: the majority of pasta, most rice, corn (is a very unhealthy grain-now more than ever), white bread, flour that has been bleached, bromated and processed. Convenience foods, canned foods, frozen meals, quick fix meals, etc are all highly processed, chemical-laden,…

I was an undiagnosed hyperinsulinemic based on extensive review of my entire medical history. As a child, these dark patches developed on my neck, my inner thighs, my under-arm areas. I was a very active kid growing up... we were always outside, playing hard. We had almost two acres of land, half of which was a thick…

Some of the physician specialty groups that I work for actually advocate this to their Diabetic patients, their IR patients as well as PCOS patients... Its slowing migrating to almost all specialties of medicine. Its really good 'medicine' for anyone to consider.

I think that might be a misnomer (IMHO)... Yes, the first few days, and in some cases the first week, it can be a challenge as both the physical and mental changes are happening all at the same time. That is the body's natural response to the dietary changes the individual is making. Personally in a few cases of patients…

Keep in mind, while insulin does paint the picture all too well, there are other hormones that do fall into place here. Lack of Leptin yielding Leptin-resistance Cortisol - I cant (no pun intended) stress this enough, people just need to learn how to adapt to stress better, not get so overly obsessive with the weight scale…
