Please add me as a friend, Also jlgerbe would love to have your choc chip cookie and keto fluff recipes.

Please add me too :) I've had the best success on keto, I'm an emotional eater and when I get off track eating simple carbs it's a vicious cycle of hunger. When I am eating healthy fats, lean proteins, veggies and some fruits I lose those cravings very quickly. I go by net carbs. (fiber minus carbs). I find chia seeds &…

Just got mine for Christmas !! Feel free to add me !

Usually anything prepackaged contains alot of sodium regardless of the nutritional content and your body will retain weight. I would cook from scratch for a couple weeks and see if you see a difference. Anything from a box is toxic in my opinion, all the additives, etc.

sounds delicious !! Thank you sooo much ! I did some calculating for the grams vrs ounces and it's 10 grams = 1 oz.

Hi, Being an OB nurse (worked in an office as well as 30 + years of L&D and 4 kids later lol), it varies with each pregnancy. Usually tho by 12 weeks at the latest, new mommies to be are relieved of the sorness, tenderness of the breasts, very supportive bras help tremendously as well as "hands off" for a few weeks from…

Being an OB nurse for over 30 years it is VERY important to not just eat what you want because you have a baby growing inside you. Obesity in pregnancy can cause many many problems, increased chances for gestational diabetes, preeclampsia to name just a couple that can cause major problems for Mom & Baby during the…

Hi John, Yes, I try to get a variety in if I can. I really feel the difference not eating dairy & meat. For me it's inflammatory. I can really tell a difference. This for me is about restoring my health & preventing any diseases. I have a low thyroid (Hashimoto's) and take synthroid for it daily, other than that I don't…

this has my name all over it, been there done that & still would if I didn't figure out my triggers. If you would like add me, we have some support groups here for bingers I can hook u up with too. I agree with the triggers, whether they be food, emotions whatever once we're able to realize ok that was a trigger we can…

awesome, thank you very much :)

Nutrition courses are always awesome, except that most dieticians and nutritionalist still think we need multiple vitamins instead of whole food. No one really knows unless they have blood work done how much A, B, C etc we need on a daily basis and here in the states our insurance doesn't cover these tests normally unless…

Hi, I'm not sure what you mean by their activity level too high ? I figured mine using this formula and sedentary cause during the day unless I get a shift at the hospital I'm pretty sedentary except for my water workouts. It came out to be around 1780 cal. Interested in what you meaning by this :)) thanks Kelly

Not to scare you, but calf pain can be other things than muscular, being a nurse, I just feel I need to put this out here, I'm sure it's prolly just a pulled muscle, but check to be sure it's not red or hot feeling, pull your toes toward your knee if you have worse pain you could have a blood clot, it's a very common place…

This is how I gained my weight over the years. All great suggestions. Even after 2 months of eating very healthy I still feel like if I let myself I could binge at anytime. So I have dinner, immediately brush my teeth & don't watch TV or stay downstairs where the kitchen is. It's not the food cause I've binged on healthy…

Weigh to goooo GreenTart !!! I'm sorry I haven't been here ! Gosh I've totally been so involved with a family issue (mom's mental issues) that I've spaced my groups here. For me it's been almost 60 days and still eating clean. My fat loss has been 15 lbs so far in almost 8 weeks. My activity is being hampered by a much…

artichokes, pears, peas, beans are loaded with fiber. Push for 40 grams a day. It will really keep you full :)) Water is a huge appetite suppressant as well. Avoid all processed, junk foods, any white flour, sugar stuff. It all cause cravings.

Would love to join this group :)) Can someone add me ! 54 years young :)

Hi you can add me & also if you would like to do a 30 day challenge that some of us ladies belong to, it's awesome !! Keeps us on track & motivated. I am an OB nurse ;) congratulations new Mommy !! You can message manda_bubbles and she can add you or I can too :))…

My daughter buys it through amazon, it's so much cheaper and no addtives or gmo, otherwise I would say Sprouts or Whole Foods maybe a Trader Joes ?

My fat loss has been slow, decided today to do smoothies with protein powder & fruit & water all day. Changing it up a bit.

Hi everyone, Add me if you would like, I am all about motivation & support. This is an awesome site for accountability. I eat pretty clean & am a vegan but most of my friends here are not. I don't judge. I just want everyone to be healthy & enjoy life & it's been the best decision for me because I'm all about prevention &…

Mix 1/4 c coconut or almond or soy milk and then keep adding more over a couple weeks with less cow's milk. After a few weeks or less they will transition. If I knew then what I know now about cows milk causing type 2 diabetes I would have never ever given to my kids or drank it myself.

Dairy & red meat causes increased inflammation in my body. I used to love cottage cheese with pineapple chunks, but if I eat the cottage cheese my ankles hurt sooo bad. Dairy also causes me to bloat & Ice Cream causes my nose to get stuffy & lots of phlegm, pretty sure those are all signs of a lactose intolerance, so I…

First I want to commend you for sharing this with all of us. You have no idea how many of us can relate to this !!! You set your boundary & altho you wanted to go over it you DIDN"T !!! This is a huge HUGE NSV. I actually just posted a study that's been done on food addiction & how it's so real. We have eaten so many foods…

I eat beans everyday, which have alot of protein & complex carbs with loads of fiber, feel free to spy on my diary lol, it's kinda boring but it gets me loads of fiber & plenty of protein. Spinach, Kale have good sources of calcium. Thanks for adding me too :)

Hi, eating clean & newly vegan, my choice for health reasons, but most of my friends here aren't, so anyone please feel free to add me. I'm 5.6 started at 198 down 12 lbs. hoping to get to 124 again. Committed to eat clean, healthy & exercise everyday I can.

For me it was a great week. I have been eating clean since May 28th, so most of the cravings are gone, but I know from past experience that even if I indulge once in a processed food or fast food it sends me immediately into this binge mode. I never ever ate fast food, like burgers fries because I've always been…
