I agree with you! After reading Wheat Belly, I look at all bread the same as I would other processed food. I'd recommend that book to anyone!

WOW, you guys look great!! Beautiful! You should be proud of yourselves, you can really see a healthy change!

I was just diagnosed a few months ago. I'm on medication that seems to help a bit, but I know that eating high fiber products, bread and dairy are huge triggers. It seems I am always bloated!

Just wanted to say I love your profile pic! Haha!

I would choose the machines over MFP, since the machines know better how hard you are working (i.e, resistance on an elliptical). Make sure everytime you use the machines you enter in your weight and age too for a better estimation.

Just try to remember that a healthy diet doesn't have to be 100% perfect. It's okay to eat some things that aren't considered so great. Personally I don't consider pizza a junk food. Just remember one meal or one cheat snack a day isn't going to make or break your day, so alter your next meal a little bit. It's all about…

PS, as long as whatever nut butter you are eating doesn't have any hydrogenated oils in it, I think you'll be okay!

Well I am pretty partial to peanut butter, but for health reasons I'd go almond... sadly, I haven't found yet an almond butter that I like. Can anybody recommend a brand? Maybe I will switch. :)

Whole wheat bread contains the entire grain, therefore you are getting the natural nutriens found in the grain. In white bread, the outer layer of the grain is stripped off, which contains most of the nutrients, and then is fortified with vitamins and minerals. Whole wheat bread contains an adequate amount of fiber, which…

I'm a nutrition minor (I was going to be a RD but switched) and I was very perplexed when my professors were overweight/acted like they had no care in the world for being healthy. It is kind of strange to see people in the health field who aren't healthy.

Is it just hot water or do you get the same benefits with cold water? I personally love cold lemon water...
-
I completely agree. I feel good when I'm hungry sometimes because I *haven't* binged or eaten poorly. And when I'm hungry a few hours after a meal I feel good because I know that I didn't eat too much and my metabolism is in high gear.
-
Probably yeah, but the only issue with that is I eat lunch 1-2pm most days and I can't wait past 6 to eat dinner! Then I go to bed at around 10 without snacking (most nights).
-
Lol so what day did you post your middle of the night snacks to? The day prior or the next day? Technically it would be the next day, but I'm just curious...
-
Haha! Thanks love that.
-
Yeah, I knew about that. But I can usually tell the difference between my body wanting to eat because it's thirsty (I will crave things like apples or cold things), hunger because of boredom and actual hunger. It's always good to drink a full glass of water before actually eating anything and waiting ten minutes to see if…

I read a a little bit of the book called "Why French Women Don't Get Fat" or something like that... maybe it was "Why French Women Stay Skinny." Either way, I think the idea is to be conscious of what you are eating without stressing about it. There are simple rules in the book I read like "Don't eat seconds" "Take your…

I head stretch marks are genetic... did anybody else hear that? I was REALLY disappointed when I heard that, seeing as my mom got bad stretch marks when she was pregnant!!
-
Hmm... well you're BMR should have been calculated and taken into consideration when you put in your stats to MFP. It's telling you to eat less than that so that you lose weight. You can adjust how much weight you want to lose per week and your daily allowance will go up. I think 1230 is absolutely fine.... I'm on a 1200…

I think having sex when you feel like it is good advice... I don't know about anybody else but I am SUPER in the mood around the time I am supposed to be ovulating. Probably your body's way of trying to get you pregnant. The phone apps, like Period Tracker are great too. I use it to track my cycle.

Love This! Same
