Yes! There is a huge difference! Processed white sugars aren't easily digested by your body and are more readily converted to fat. The sugar from fruit and veggies gets used by your body for energy, digestion, brain function etc. There are good sugars and bad sugars just like good cholesterol and bad cholesterol. Try to…

Oh ya, and she may have ordered for everyone thinking she was being kind because a lot of people aren't going to order steak on the bosses bill. She might have thought it was a great treat for everyone.

Anytime we have regional visitors in the office we order lunch, it's always Domino's Pizza or Pasta from somewhere. I finally had to tell my boss that while I didn't expect her to make specific exceptions for me, I was happy to bring my lunch, I just couldn't partake of what was being offered. I actually ended up having…

Definitely had bouts of nausea when I was pregnant with my daughter, but nothing more. I don't even thow up when I am sick though.

All the advice has been given! You're definitely taking in way too many processed foods! I cut out Starbucks and lost five pounds (no joke) the calories and sugar in that stuff is ridiculous! I know it can be really difficult but after a week or so without processed and refined sugar products you will wonder why you ever…

You need to find a base food to neutrilize the acid. I don' t eat very many starches or breads and I am a very tightly wound high anxiety type of person, there isn't one day I don' t have acid reflux. Sometimes it's so bad that I think I am going to vomit if I open my mouth to answer the phone. I have found that quaker…

I don' t think she is trying to one up you at all but it does sound like she is a little self centered. It really doesn't matter what weight you are at, all of us have that one thing that we can't see past, so even though she is thin she may just not be able to see it. Also, because you are working so diligently towards…

Every one here is right. You shouldn't be taking it in and out. A navel piercing takes about a year to completely heal and in the time you should really leave it alone as much as possible. If feel as though it has a deep infection then you need to make chamomile tea, use the warm tea bags and put them on your navel. This…

My very bestest friend was on depo for the better part of her teen years and into her twenties. She put on about 40lbs and devoloped a hormone imbalance. I am not saying that this is all because of depo, but her dr. put her on the nuva-ring a couple months ago, she has lost 25lbs and is much more sane. I have been on…

:love: A good smokey provolone and some feta...if you like mushrooms try to find the wild button mushrooms....soooo amazingly good! Also, if you chop up fresh cherries, make shredded chicken and throw that in an omelete with some swiss...BEST EVER! My mouth is watering now!

I've worked with several nutritionists over the years and have also been in a setting to work with a few. They never believed in the not eating after 7. I have been told that while it is generally an ok rule to follow, it was set for people who graze all day long and don't know how to cut themselves off. It's more of a…

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Aside from quitting you really have taken the first step to not go back to smoking...you realized and made the decision that your health and your new life was so much more important. I am very analytical as well and as soon as I was able to make that connection it just clicked! I didn't do it because my…

I am by NO MEANS a breakfast person, I am a total morning person, I just can't stand the thought of breakfast. I don't know if you drink coffee, but here's what I have.... black coffee with two stevia (all natural plant derived sweetner), two quaker chocolate rice cakes and Stoneyfield Oikos Organic Greek Yogurt (the…

Ya, my boyfriend took some pics of my scantly clad the other night, in reviewing them I had a strong need to excise the contents of my stomach. I really thought my stretch marks had gone away more then they apparently had. It's amazing what bad lighting and the wrong angles can do for not only my cottage cheese thighs, but…

Not all Wal-Mart stores carry the same items. They are a very demographic based. I have found that if you can find a helpful manager and ask them to order it, then they will start carrying it. The Wal-Mart in my rural community has an absolutely insanely vast chip/snack/soda/frozen food section you will EVER see, but it's…

Also, something to try is Gluten free pastas...Quinoa noodles are amazing! They are definitely a little heartier then normal pasta, but taste sooo good...especially with a garlicy mushroom pasta sauce! The do stick together a little more, but have a great texture. My dad (who is a life-long bologna and cheese bachelor)…

Check out toofastonline.com and catslikeus.com...Ya'll need to remember that pin ups were curvacious, sexy, thick women...they weren't the heroin sheik that we all see these days. Betty Page, Marilyn Monroe...these girls had boobs hips and thighs that could rock any mans world. And PS, if you're short (5'2 here) get it…

It's body dismorphia...it's going to take a while for you to see yourself as you are now rather than how you used to be. No one can tell you what you should be wearing at 135lbs. Everyone's body is shaped differently. Prime example me and my best friend are the same weight but I wear a 9-10 at 155 and she wears a 12-13.…

:embarassed: Not trying to be lude, but I am going to get a little "x" rated with my boyfriend...with the lights on...:blushing:

Don't let it get you down!!! The fact that you are making the effort to do the work out after a long day is so wonderful!!! You're making a change for the better. Maybe you should kind of think about it like your body coming out of a coma. It isn't going to jump up and react immediately. It's going to take a little while…

10 pounds is excellent! I made up silly little excersizes to do when my daughter was born...anything to burn extra calories! My hips are definitely wider then they were before, but I am lovin the curves! Just enjoy the time with your new baby and watch what you eat, before you know it, a year will be gone as will a lot of…

Just don't go over board. Know your limitations. In my opinion there is nothing wrong with a short fast, but you have to return to eating slowing and with light and easily digested foods. Being that you don't eat meat, this shouldn't be too difficult. Good luck!

There is a pub here that does Burger night and I actually have asked them for the nutritional information. If they aren't super busy and I get the right waitress, then they will give it to me. It definitely keeps me going back!

Total scam. Acai is a super food and great for you as well as an occassional colon cleanse...but I have seen so many of those websites and they are all scams.

Rachel - Skiatook, Ok but can't wait to get back to Austin, Tx

I have to be honest, I am a little surprised at just about everyone's reply here. Before I started reading everything, I was so sure that the general consensus would be that ya sure go ballistic, eat whatever you want! I have many friends and family members that "cheat" on their diets and ponder whyy can't lose weight…

I know...it's absolutely ridiculous! I picked up a sliced chicken salad at the store almost every day. I just happened to stop and read the label, 18g of fat and 500 calories (without dressing)...it was so insane! I checked the regular salad and it had 8g of fat and 130cal. It's sad when even salad isn't healthy!
