I use jarrow dophilus. The one with 50 billion cfu.

French bread pizza!!

This is a great post. Congratulations! I'm so inspired! Question- do you eat any tomato products, or too many carbs?

I'm a Jewish stay at home mom, and I find this thread a bit... unsavory?? But okay. Whatever works for you.

I have been plant based for about 20 years, vegan for some of the years, but mostly vegetarian. Honestly, I wish I ate meat, but i find it very icky, and I can't wrap my head around eating it. I just have zero interest. Eating meat is a major chore, and I simply can't get myself to do it. As a veg, I find that I am hungry…

I had one! It was a long time ago, when I was 16, but I'd love to be friends!

I want to join! At this point I'm hoping for 10 pounds... But I'm in!

My sister in law sells isagenix, and I got roped into trying the 30 day cleanse, last summer. $400 dollars later, here are my thoughts: First, I love the shakes. They keep me full for hours, and I think they use quality ingredients. I prefer the isalean pro, bc it has more protein and keeps me from needing to snack. The 30…

Great idea!

I don't mean to beat a dead horse, and I know you feel done with this topic, but I thought more about it, and I just wanted to mention 1 thing. When I was deep in my disorder, the idea of doing anything for 21 days, was laughable. A week was laughable.If I had tried a dietary change at that time, and committed to a month,…

I haven't read all the answers to your post, but I really relate to your struggles. I have been working on recovery from bulimia/binge eating disorder, for years now. I know that many people will tell you not to try and restrict food groups or go on a structured plan, and I do agree with that, but I can also understand why…

They're not? Since when?

Disney World in FL allows it too. We always bring food, no problem. We usually bring whole wheat bread pbj sandwiches. Just easy and cheap. I bring Larabars too, in case of a snack emergency. :-) Oh, and pre-portioned baggies of nuts. Have fun!

A close family member recently convinced me to do the 30-day Cleanse. I was doing it for health - not weight loss. I liked the shakes. I thought the cleanse days and supplements were total crap. I do think the shakes have quality nutrition, but it is completely unrealistic to have shakes for breakfast and lunch, for the…

WOW! Thank you for this amazing response. So helpful. I really appreciate it. I think you are right, that taking a break will be good for me, on many levels. I have lost touch with my body, and I don't seem to recognize hunger and fullness the way I feel I should. I am hoping that hopping on the Paleo wagon, will help with…

This is a terrific recipe from Cooking Light magazine. There isn't a ton of turkey in it, but it's very delicious. I have never made the sour cream topping, because it doesn't need it, but I am including it, in case it interests you. This recipe is always a hit with company, too! Black Bean Salsa Chili 2 (15-ounce) cans…

I was a Coke Zero abuser, for a very long time. I absolutely love it, but I was finding myself needing more and more, just to get my "fix." I think I have a bit of a "sweet addiction," and I felt I was really abusing artificial sweeteners. I also used arti sweetener in my coffee, and I finally got so disgusted with feeling…

QFT

I didn't read the other feedback you got (in a rush this morning!), but I can only speak from my own experience - I am also recovering from restrictive eating/binging. I have found that the one thing that keeps me in the binge cycle, is continuing to restrict. If I binge, and then I follow it with a low calorie day (and…

Like many of the previous posters, I don't think this was a binge. I think you overate. However... Protein bars are a binge food, for me (I struggle with binge eating disorder, but I'm working on recovering from it). Luna Bars, Lara Bars, Zone Bars, Clif Bars, Quest Bars - you name it - If I have them in the house, I'll…

Panko is bread though, and I can't eat gluten. But thanks! To those who mentioned almond meal, coconut meal, or cashew flour - how much do you use? Last night, I made a recipe that had a cup of breadcrumbs. I used gluten free bread crumbs (seriously, the container cost me $7!!! For like 1.5 cups!), so it was easy to sub.…

I think she means that gluten "intolerance" or "sensitivity" is not real. Like people without Celiac, saying they are intolerant to wheat. I don't know if it's true or not, but there is a lot of contraversy about it. The allergy is real. Celiac Disease is most definitely real.

WOW! Thanks everyone! I will try all of these suggestions! I think my first try will be quinoa or quick steel cut oats (the gf kind). Thanks so much everyone!

I live on the East Coast, and lots of diners have them on the menu. Sounds so horrible to me. Yuck. There are so many other things you can order or modify to eat healthfully in a restaurant (in my opinion/experience).

I've been on birth control pills in the past (for many years, on and off), and now I use the Nuvaring. I've had 3 children, and was on birth control before them, in between them, and after I had them. I haven't noticed that it has affected my weight. I sometimes think I'm more bloated because of it, but that may be my…

I don't want to comment on the RD situation, but I took Clomid for all 3 of my kids, and I absolutely gained weight. No question. I would guess that's what this is from... but that's just a guess.

I conceived all 3 of my children on Clomid. I found that it made me ravenous, and also very bloated. I gained 5 pounds, each time I took it, but I was lucky and conceived on my first round, every time. I'm sure if I'd had to do several rounds, I would have gained more. To be honest, Clomid made me feel downright yucky. It…

Oh come on. Ice cream Mallowmars Dark Chocolate covered coconut bonbons I like my sweets...

I'm not sure what you're referring to, but if it's beans or corn, I just look at the nutrition label, and if it says there are 2.5 servings in the can, and there are 130 calories per serving, I assume the can is 325 calories. I basically look in the database and find an item that matches the serving size and nutritional…

Do the steroids just cause weight gain, or is it that they stimulate appetite? I've heard both... My doctor put me on them, when I had a horrible case of strep throat, many years ago, and i was terrified to take them! It was short term, but still... Anyway, I can't relate to this, but just wanted to give you a shout out of…
