  • I don't think her sodium was THAT high...she seems to fall close to 2500mg...and as long as your right around that...thats good for now...you need sodium to function. just keep the water intake up to help cycle it all through. but you can def. reduce that by making your own salad dressings (all recipes .com is a good place…

  • white bread has a high GI rating, which means it spikes your blood sugar level up high...a lot of carbs like this can lead to fat storage and diabetes. You CAN offset this by eating a High GI rating carb with a low GI rated card b (eg strawberries, raspberries, oatmeal, yogurt, milk, etc) when you eat a High GI food with a…

    in Is eating breakfast a must? Comment by davecreed January 2012
  • Yes! The word breakfast literally mean "breaking fast". when you go to sleep, your body goes into a state of fast, if you dont eat shortly after waking to break that fast, you'll stay in a fast, which means storing...and your body doesn't store muscle when you fast, its stores fat. but don't worry if you're not a morning…

  • foods lower on the GI seem to keep you fuller longer (eg oatmeal)...you could try that. also, make sure your taking in all you required fats...i find when i try to lower my fats...im cranky and hungry...and it doesn't help me loose weight...for be lower carbs are key...

  • 6 meals and maybe some stuff in between...sometimes if a meal is a little bigger than i want it, i will wait an hour to finish it all. say my meal was yogurt, cottage cheese and some nuts....but i went to the firdge and i was out of cottage cheese...and i need to eat soon, so i substitute a meal replacement shake for the…
    in how often do you eat? Comment by davecreed January 2012
  • good advice. also...you may be surprised to know that if you are eating too few calories, it may hinder in your weight loss goals as well, via, your body storing. not likely in your case...it may also be you macro nutrient ratios or saturated fat amounts or sodium amounts...how many meals your eating, calorie size each…

It wont happen overnight. don't beat yourself up about it. you just need to keep at it. it will come. Most people are shocked to see how much they actually have…

  • also fats...you need to keep you saturated fats in the recommended range...most of your fats should come from monounsaturated (a lot of things dont have them listed on their nut. info) but you can look stuff up thats nigher in monounsaturated. (olive oil, most nuts, peanut butter, flax seed oil, avocados, etc)
    in I'm doing something wrong, help! Comment by davecreed January 2012
  • i personally changed my intake percentages to about 45% carbs 25% fats and 30% protein...you need about 0.9grams per pound of body weight...some people handle carbs better than others...im not one of them.
    in HELP, my proteins are off the charts! Comment by davecreed January 2012
  • its not only about eating the total calories each day, you need to adhere to the macronutrients as well. (protein, carbs fat) and you need to watch you sodium intake...a lot of what you;re eating appears to be manufactured food items (dips, salad dressings, etc) too much sodium leads to water retention which, even if your…

  • 1. Its only been a week on here. 2. meals seem a bit sporadic (some days 3, some 4, some 700 cals, some 200 cals) you need to eat more frequently...you body type may no be able to handle as much fat, carbs, cals in one sitting as other. 3. I didnt look at all of your carbohydrate sources, but the majority of your carbs…
