  • Hi everyone, I hope you are doing better and pregnant :-) I have had 4 miscarriages, and I am now doing my first ivf cycle. I am trying to keep positive and taking care of how I eat and avoiding stress... but that's not easy. After each miscarriage, I went through a very depressive period, feeling sorry foy myself, and…
  • If you search for "Victoria's Secret Angel Butt Workout" on google or pinterest, you will find it... it is great for that.
  • I think a quick omelette with mushrooms is a good option. You can even bake it. I like to make it like: 1 egg, 1 egg white, 4 fresh mushrooms, 1 cherry tomato, herbs, a slice of mozzarella de buffalo, a splash of milk.
  • I have not tried it, but I am researching into it to see if it is something for me. But I have started drinking healthy fruit/veggies juices with flaxseed, and they have helped me maintain my diet a lot. I can share some recipes with you if you are interested. Here is a video on fasting diet, thought it was interesting...…
  • I have been taking detox juices on a daily basis for a while. I think it is great, and I have noticed a big improvement on my skin and digestive system. I have not followed Kimberly's diet, I read a book written by a chemist, who explains what vegetables and fruits, as well as what nuts to use. I will write here some of…
  • Billy Blanks dvds, they are great for that.
  • "the time and intensity of exercise will dictate the level of cortisol release. If you exercise for more than 60 minutes, even at a low intensity, the body's glycogen stores (fuel) will decrease significantly and the increased stress will cause more cortisol release. The more training you do, the better your body will…
  • I still think seeing what other people who have the same goals as me and who have similar weight have done and liked the results from working with a personal trainer. I have noticed that the exercise plans I have seen try to do several different exercises during the week, versus people who exercise on their own tend to do…
  • I agree. They are very good, and you can use light weights at the beginning and slowly add heavier weights as you get used to them. After a while I found it annoying with all their talking, and bought a couple more. I love Billy Blanks exercise videos as well.
  • I keep making variations of the soup above (without meat, steak instead of chicken, barbecued chicken, etc). It really makes me feel full with just one bowl.
  • Chicken and beans soup with veggies You need a pressure cooker 1 kg - raw brown beans 2 large carrots 400 grams potatoes 2 liters water 6 tomatos or, 2 tomatoes and 1 can of chopped tomatoes 1 to 2 bouillon - chicken flavor bay leaves 1 onion 4 cloves of garlic 1 chilli fresh parsley some celery 1 squash Soak the beans in…
  • Many people don't add beans to their diets because when you look straight at the calorie content, it is not low. What many don't realize is that beans is a great source of protein + fiber, which means it is a food that will keep you feeling full longer. And if it means after eating a meal with beans, it keeps you away from…
  • What if you insist on the symptons that you are having, and ask if he can recommend you to a specialist? How often are you taking the tests? I found online a list of foods that improve and foods that worsen the problem: http://alicas.wrytestuff.com/swa95859.htm
  • Your story is very similar to mine... 4 years ago I was tested in Denmark (where I live) and the doctor said it was under control... I got blood tests every 3 months and the same results every time. The problem though, is that all the symptons of hypothyroidism started happening to me... one by one. 4 years later I was on…
  • I have gone to the gym on and off for years, but could not keep it up. I live far from it, and it was always easier to find something else to do. Since September I have been exercising on an elliptical (cross trainer) machine from home, and it has worked really well for me. I do it while I watch some TV show or music…
