Is this a joke??? What does this have to do with eating healthy???

BTW, my profile pic.........yes that is a carne asada burrito with beans on the side...No it is not organic, it is one of my only remaining guilty pleasures.....and it took a long time for me to be able to RE- tolerate it, I think it being REALLY yummy helped!

I watched it last summer.....Had MAJOR eating issues after eating it, my family accused of me of starving them....I pretty much eat most of my stuff organic now. I am a BIG label reader.....and usually that is all it takes for me to put something back on the shelf. I'm a little better now, and occasionally will splurge a…

I did Low Carb for 8 years...I would get very skinny eating low carb, and then when I went back to eating carbs again, gained it all back. The problem with low carb diets at least back in the day when I did it was it lacked portion control and frequency. If you are looking for a quick way to get thin before summer, sure it…

LOL..this post made me laugh so hard...I am an APPLE FRITTER JUNKIE! I LOVE my apple fritters...and used to eat one EVERY DAY for years...not just on Fridays :) I haven't had one in a REALLY REALLY long time...maybe I will treat myself to one tomorrow and call it Apple Fritter Saturday! I LOVE your self control!

I don't have a lot of time to write so i will try to make this quick.....Yes I read your articles, lots of jargon I don't understand....I don't know maybe it's me but I don't like being compared to a rat or mouse although I know that is what scientists like to compare humans to when doing research....And I don't need an…

...I Agree with this comment ....infact a good way to not have other food items have a higher impact on sugar levels (this works even if you're not diabetic) is taking a tablespoon of coconut oil with say a banana. This combo will give you alot of energy and will SLOW the effects from the banana..great before or even after…

I can't help myself but to respond to this comment. Olive oil is very healthy however has a lower burn point, so if you are cooking with it chances are by the time you are eating it, it's a trans fat SORRY....It is suggested to use Olive oil for light sauteeing and for dressings ect if you consume it as a healthy fat. As…

I LOVE Coconut oil and can not say enough wonderful things about it.....if you google coconut oil you will find nothing negative about it except if it highly processed! I buy Organic Virgin Coconut oil from Tropical Traditions...some people prefer Nutiva for it's taste and price... I eat roughly about 3-4 tablespoons a…

EAT MORE!!!! You have hit the plateau, you have to change your eating habits a bit...have some extra fat and protein or carb with a meal. Then go back to eating normal, well balance portions. Also make sure you are snacking ...eating every 2 hours! Your body needs fuel to burn!

Buy it WHOLE and grind it yourself..if you buy it already ground chances are it's already lost it's nutritional benefit, the oil becomes rancid! Won't hurt you, but won't benefit you nearly as much!

The worst thing you could do for your body...because usually what happens with starving yourself all day triggers the body into the "Storing Fat" mode and then because you are STARVED you will now OVEREAT to compensate... your metabolism is probably running slower because you did not give it the fuel it needed and will not…

That is true, olive oil does have a low burn point, better to use for light sauteeing OR in salads ect...A better oil to use rather than vegetable oil is COCONUT OIL. It has a high burn point and is a Healthy Saturated Fat. Google it and read up on it..LOTS OF GOOD STUFF!

Eat Clean Diet has a really healthy egg salad recipe. I have never made it but the reviews on it were awesome!

1 scoop of vanilla protein powder, 1 tbsp of coconut oil, one tbsp ground flax seed, 1/4 cup almond milk, cinnamon, and sugarfree maple syrup.....they call it power oatmeal, and it will get you MOVING!

I make the BEST PIZZAS, and have lost nearly 60 lbs eating them. I stole this recpe from www.dietfreelife.com, you can change it up a variety of ways with turkey pepperoni ect. This is how I make it and everyone who eats it can't believe how tasty it is! 1 serving size is 1 whole pita! 1 Whole Wheat Pita (I use Toufayan),…

WHAT???? there is high fructose corn syrup in their bread????? you know who else does, the frozen yogurt places. They say it's so healthy WRONG! I have to get the no sugar added variety, and even that isn't good for you it has ASPARTAME!!!!

Oh ha ha...that was really funny! I too have lost enough weight people can NOTICE! I have discovered that at a "get together" or a function, people look to see WHAT I'm eating, and I guess to see if I do actually eat???? LOL I EAT all the time, no danger of starving over here!

I used to also call it shocking the system, it is also referred to as BOOSTING. When you hit a plateau you should do it every 4 days, eat a little something extra at a meal, whether it be fat or carbs or protein, but the idea is to EAT more and confuse your body into thinking it's NOT going into starvation mode and kicks…

Try just starting it one day at a time and not put so much pressure on yourself ! Focus on one thing first...your DIET....well balanced, even throughout the day with calories. Incorporate a few snacks, and make sure you have a good breakfast. Drink plenty of water and a good night's rest.... Once you have that in order…

LOL..that is funny! HEMP PROTEIN.......NASTY! I tried really hard to like it YUK!

It's not a lonely world, sometimes it takes people longer to realize WHAT they want for themselves. Have a strong mind and feel GREAT about what YOU have accomplished. NEVER lessen what you have accomplished because others have not encounter the same success! It only feels lonely for a little while :) But the results and…

This is a good post..I read one awhile ago where it talked about working out on an empty stomach...It went against everything I was ever taught. One person even said if you don't give your body anything to eat the body has no choice but to eat it's own fat. Not only do I give my body Fat...I LOVE Coconut oil, but will…

as long as your snacking is about 100-200 calories with a 2 hour break inbetween there really is nothing wrong with it, I have had GREAT success with snacking up until an hour before bedtime.

Olive oil is good, but UNREFINED Virgin Coconut oil is BETTER. The benefits from coconut oil are overwhelming and it also has a higher burn point than olive oil. Cocnut oil is a saturated fat but it's a medium chain, it actually helps meatbolize in your liver vs. going to arteries and clogging them...Google Coconut Oil,…

That's right it's called "boosting" in fact by quite a few plans...I used to call it shocking the system before I actually knew it had a name. By having a little extra occasionally than what your body is used to, it actually confuses your body and you avoid a plateau affect. You may notice dropping a few pounds if you just…

This "idea" also worked for me..I did not have a personal trainer, however I did the Food Lovers program, and it really did a good job of "fixing" my metabolism and have been losing weight ever since. It is very similiar in thought to the above statement. Their website is www.dietFREElife.com BTW I have actually lost a…

That is interesting...so I WONDER if that is the reason WHY women gain weight when they are on birth control. Because they are NOT ovulating and not burning those extra calories that they were. My Dr. told me my weight issue HAD nothing to do with my birth control, and more to do with my everyday starbucks run...yes…

"We are built to graze. Eat 5 or 6 small meals a day. Also, remember that your body is operating at a MUCH lower metabolic need while sleeping than during the rest of the day. So you are giving your body TONS of calories, and then going to sleep. Well, it doesn't need all of those calories...so it stores them. Plus keeping…
