Ha! You folks are so predictable! How did I know you would try to attack me some other way after I've provided you with research supporting my claim?! If you paid attention to the thread you would have noticed that I did not initially call it bullying. One of your counterparts mentioned it to be like bullying first! I…

I decided to pull these two quickly because some of you guys are big babies. I should be sleeping or getting ready for work tomorrow and here I am pulling case studies regarding aspartame. You know what, drink diet soda until your heart is content. I feel bad for humanity. So, heartless and I'm actually disgusted with this…

OK, I see your point. That's unfortunate then, if folks don't look into things for themselves. I've learned that the hard way. Even our doctors do it. "Scientific proof" is all well and good if it hasn't been tampered with. I believe a poster shouted out that I was into conspiracy theories, but if I am so be it because I…

[/quote] [/quote] Cool, I understand. Though, I did not tell anyone that they could not eat or drink junk. Do I believe diet soda is bad, yes. Do I think if you have diet soda, sugar-free gum, deep fried foods, sugary treats on occasion, you'll die tomorrow, no. I still eat those things,though I do steer clear of diet soda…

I actually didn't even see your post. Don't assume I'm talking to everyone. And exactly.. be specific. You all asked for a link.. oh you were not specific. If she provided you with an article she read or something else. You'd then tell her that it's not a credible source. Come on.. now you want a "proper study" after I…

It legit is cyber bullying and it's honestly stupid. It's like a bunch of kids that feel big and bad because they've got numbers. Numbers don't mean they're right. Why couldn't folks just say, "interesting stance! Let's go find out more." No, they came with rocks to throw. It's a shame in my opinion. Whether or not this…

Thanks for sharing your experience and good point! I should not have said that. We are all different. What shows up negatively for me, may show no ill effects on you. I am just very passionate about what I consider junk food and what has caused me problems in the past. I'm tired of hearing something is OK if it doesn't…

[/quote] I do not agree. It is not my job to look for anything. When I read the book a few years ago, I wanted to know more and did additional research and not only read up on it but used how I felt to come to a conclusion. I was actually seeing a neurologist for brain fog and memory loss and wondering why my world was…

Damn quotes keep messing up!

No, I don't know her history on MFP. I saw someone who gave very little explanation as to why something was bad and jumped in. I thought it was unfortunate that she heard something and could not explain her position, a position that I agree with. This tends to happen a lot. We hear why something is bad, but the only thing…

[/quote] I'd rather not pay the $16 on Amazon for food fear mongering. I'd rather you just pass along a link or two to her sources and I (we) can go from there. [/quote] Now, you're asking for too much my good sir. I already killed so much time responding, now you're asking me to get up and dig through my book shelf for…

Let's be real honest here, the folks who begged for links wanted to see her fall. You did not politely and genuinely want to learn from her source, you wanted blood. Stop kidding around. If she provided you with a link, you would have told her that she doesn't have a credible source. How are you so sure that you're source…

One of my favorite books is the Truth About Beauty by Kat James. She cites all of her sources in that book (which include case studies not articles written by people with no credibility). It's a great read and you are free to purchase on amazon, if you like. There are also a ton of other books out there. Aside from that,…

Totally agree!

What's wrong with you people?! Read a health book, please! I'm randomly jumping in here to stop the slaughter of the person who mentioned that diet soda is bad. My explanation will come from memory of books I have read that have, yes, cited their sources. Why is a cup of regular coke better than diet coke? It's better…

Hi ksmoyer415! Sorry this response comes so late! I wish MFP was a bit better with notifying folks in groups when someone posts. Can you update us on what happened? I noticed that people have a lot of complications with metformin as far as cramping and diarrhea. I didn't show any negative side effects while paleo, only…

Hi Kitty and Blair! Welcome to the group! Sorry it took me so long to see your posts! The group started off really slow, so I assumed no one was interested! Ha. I'd love for this group to be more active, but I've noticed that most groups are slow. Folks just join and never look back. How are you two doing on your journey…

Hi @anban229! Thanks for joining this group! I wish I had the answers to your questions, but I don't. I think a Naturopathic Doctor would be a great source for you, since they probably won't frown upon this lifestyle and are often nutritionists and pay attention to cortisol levels. I would say that there is no need to be…

Oh my goodness. I was shocked to see Rachel walk out. Bob and Jillian's face told it all! I do agree with most, that she lost more weight than necessary.. and enough weight to make her look like she has an eating disorder. I also can 't believe she lost so much muscle mass. I hope she doesn't have an eating disorder and I…

I've thought about it, but it's not recommended by anyone (I've done tons of research.. books and articles). They usually say you can get on a ketogenic diet temporarily (at most a month) to lose a few extra pounds, but then get back on a low carb plan. I believe a ketogenic diet only consists of 0-50 grams of carbs a day…

When my period skipped the first second and third month, my doctor was not too worried about it because I was really stressed out and she said it might be due to stress. Once I hit the 6th month and I went to see her, she was totally upset that I didn't tell her sooner that I still didn't get it after the 3rd month. She…

I'm sorry, but you have to get over it. You must drink straight water daily to nourish your body. All of this crystal light and diet soda is doing more harm than you think. Honestly, anything that is processed will harm the body. Conventional doctors don't usually care about your overall well being. They just want to make…

OMG! Amazing!! I can't wait to lose some weight! How did you do it??

Awesome!

Awesome Weight Loss! Thanks for the added motivation!

Hey gals! I just started turbo fire! I did the HIIT 15 today and will do HIIT 20 tomorrow morning. I hope to see results!

I'd switch it up. I picked lean, but I love Plyometrics which isn't in the workout schedule for lean. So, instead of doing Cardio X (I think it's boring) I do Plyometrics instead. :) Check out the vids, depends on what you like.
