My friend just did the Gocleanse diet and lost 12 lbs in a week. She lived in the bathroom and it was over $300 plus supplements. She is starting to get health problems because she does this kind of stuff a lot. Had Gallstone surgery last year and was so happy that she lost weight. I really worry about her. Less than $50…

Save. :). Thanks

Excellent info. This for sharing!

good idea Dmouse! didn't think about mixing it w/ hot tea.... thanks!

i do take Swanson Lechithin, Kelp, B-6 & Cider Vinegar vitamin each am w/ the rest of my vitamins. it has 80 mg. cider vinegar. i was ordering B-6 and got this because it had the vinegar in it. figured it wouldn't hurt me :smile:

i bought the Braggs brand at GNC but to me the only way it would make you lose weight is because it's so freaking nasty you will throw up! Bleah! my mom used to take the Vinegar pills and they are like a laxative and will make you pee all day.....just my two cents worth! i still have the $5 bottles of vinegar...guess i…

maple farm fat free honey mustard is the only FF or lite dressing i can handle but great suggestions on here that i need to try. 35 cal. my DH makes a Greek dressing w/ lots of garlic, lemon juice and a little olive oil... Walden Farms makes me gag

what are your ratios if you don't mind sharing... i try to do 60% protein, 20% fat and 20% carbs...

i'll check out the books that MJ recommended but for the Metabolic Research diet, the ratio is 60% protein, 20% fat and 20% carb

i just figured it out and Riverside just provided the link! yay!!! go to goals and change to custom. plug in what you want daily calorie count is and the percentage of protein, etc.

i want the answer too! would love if this site did percentages... i'd like to keep my percentages at 60% protein, 20% carb and 20% fat....

thanks for the explanation of BUMP...at first i thought people were being rude and saying "bump" like throw it away...LOL!! ok Bump this to save... i like recipes w/ few ingredients and EZ so Bump Bump :-)

i add left over coffee to all my chocolate recipes and really good with Syntrax Chocolate Truffle protein shakes (100 cal, 23 g. protein....) blend w/ coffee, ice and the powder....just like a chocolate shake! :-) i make extra coffee in the am and save it in the pot to add to other stuff....

wonder if you could add left over coffee to the chocolate cake mix to make it more mocha chocolately? sounds great!! thks for sharing! i cook my eggs in a mug all the time!

when people reply bump, does that mean save? :-)

thanks for sharing!

add some protein shakes or protein bars (no less than 16 g. protein) Pure Protein are very good.. more protein and less carbs should work for you..

what is your weight? height? maybe your weight is stalled because you're at the weight you need to be at. your exercise routine is great and probably gaining muscle so that weighs more. have you lost inches? the scale is not the only way to measure success... personally i would switch to skim milk and instead of just…

jello sugar free fat free chocolate pudding is great and low in cal! you can add lite cool whip, put all in blender and makes a chocolate mousse. i order the chocolate protein bars from Diet Direct online, the wonderslim bars are great. low sugar, low carbs and high protein...shoot for at least 15 g. protein.
