1st - Congratulations on your tremendous weight loss so far!!! I took a look at your profile and you indicate that you are in a stressful, chaotic situation. The human body under chronic stress produces too much cortisol ( a hormone secreted by our adrenal glands) and the body responds to that by distributing fat around…

I work out 5 x wk and meet with a licenced dietician 1x week. SHe advices many body builders as well as us little old grandma- types! She suggests the following ratio, but modifies it per individual - 50 % Carbs 35% Protein 15-20% Fat with the 5% Fat range going toward more complex carbs based on the person. Actually she…

Sarah - I took a look at your meal diary for today. You might want to consider upping your intake of complex carbs and some good fats. You are certainly under on your daily calorie count and have mainly PROTEIN as your intake. Might want to consider some fruit, whole wheat pasta, walnuts, almonds and hold off on eating a…

I too have a tough time fitting in enough protein, so I started using Premier Protein Bars (I get them at Costco) and each bar has 30 (THIRTY !) gms of whey protein. Also use Cytosport Protein Plus powder - I like vanilla - 27 grams protein per scoop. I put it ( 1/2 scoop) on my rolled oats, non-fat yogurt, smmoothies -…

Something that has helped me a great deal & extremely fast results with emotionally - driven eating issues - Emotional Freedom Technique OR "EFT". Look it up on Google! I am fortunate enough to be able to see an EFT provider in my town. Has been a life saver for me. Just a thought.
