I recently tried intermittent fasting. The goal is to have a "feeding window." I fast 12 to 24 hours then I eat. My feeding window has been 8:00 PM to 12:00 PM. My meals have been both larger and smaller. If I want to lose more weight, I may eat less calories. I really get to eat a lot of food in intermittent fasting, but…

I am a pescatarian. This means I eat fish, but not chicken, beef, or other mammals. I am a vegetarian because I was diagnosed with gout. After I changed my diet, I lost weight, felt better, and was able to stop taking my gout medication. To date, no gout attacks. My life is awesome. I am pain free an increasing my…

WEIGHT LOSS AND LIFE CHANGES - As some of you may have noticed, your weight loss goals have probably caused you to reevaluate your life, priorities, and goals. In doing so, you may notice time wasters, draining relationships, and self-awareness. It's amazing working toward your weight loss goals can really put things in…

I am sorry that you are having such a hard time. Do you have friends that can help you do an "intervention" to keep you on track? If not, maybe going to a group where you can get support. Our hearts have a way of telling us truth. What is the truth that has surfaced during this time for you? Whatever it is, by facing it…

I love to drink Sambazon and Celcius. They taste great and are at 0 calories and give you energy. Also, you can try Yerba Mate Tea which gives energy as well!

I am proud of myself for increasing the intensity of my work outs. I have had plantar faciitis and knee problems in the past, so I am careful about my cardio and my feet, but I started jogging. I have lived. Minor pain in my right ankle and knees seem to be fine. I love jogging. I am proud for finding a way to be fit!

Really enjoyed that. I am getting my masters in counseling and will be working with College age and Young adult so I really appreciated the insight!

Hi there. I found this and just did it. I remembered your post about "starving." One of the things I do is that on the days I don't work out I meditate, educate, or focus on my life and weight loss. I found this and just did it about changing habits. Hope this helps:…

Chels, I would like to add that this is with the understanding that I am not aware completely of your situation or of the whole picture, but it definitely sounds like you feel guilt attached with your growth as a person. Part of having a good heart and being kind is the compassion we feel for others that are not growing in…

Chels. You need to change the energy surrounding your weight loss. GUILT is not a good energy for weight loss. Have an open honest conversation about your transformation. How you have been transforming and now, you don't mind doing guitar for 1 hour, but not all afternoon. Your frustration is in your lack of authenticity…

MOTIVATION: Your weight loss goals attract an energy of EMPOWERMENT into your life. The decision to stop being a VICTIM of your weight is all about taking 100% responsibility for your body and your life. It's amazing how weight loss can bring that energy into our lives. For me, the FOCUS and work it takes to eat right,…

It's all about LOVING YOURSELF FIRST! Sounds like a load of crap... I know. But this is the deal, look in the mirror and accept and love EVERYTHING. Love your belly, love your arms, love your marks, but most of all LOVE you, just the way you are! NO JUDGEMENT. When you can take 100% responsibility and acceptance for what…

A really good seasoning that adds yummy to any stew is Sazon. You should e able to get it in the Spanish lane in your grocery store. Call first. This is a Puerto Rican secret to yummy stews!

It's expensive, but you can buy Xocai healthy chocolates. They have no milk or sugar. They are full of nutrients and are known to actually reduce hunger cravings. I love Xocai! http://www.mxicorp.com/thewholestory/index.php?video=wholestory

Weight loss is a BIG life style change. So, be KIND to yourself MOST OF ALL. It's like getting married. Your schedule changes, someone is sharing your time, resources, and energy. Someone needs you to listen, try, and care. The difference is, this is not about another person integrating their life into yours, it is about…

One thing that I find helpful is to do "fluffing" that means is to try and add as much veggies or eat as much raw foods as possible. So that you are eating. In addition, think of the foods you are craving and how to eat healthier versions of them. For example, I just ate Roasted Seaweed. They are my substitute for chips.…

Hi friend. So, something outside the box that I tried was hypnosis. Whenever I am completely stressed, overeating, or not working out I listen to a CD by Glenn Harrold on Weight loss. It helps motivate me to work out, eat right, and manage stress. You can you tube him and find his weight loss sessions. Here is one by…

UNHEALTHY VEGETARIANS: So this is the deal, a lot of vegetarians over cook their foods which can result in loosing nutrients and vitamins. Trying Raw foods is AMAZING!

I you like morning star, go to your local asian market. They should have a "vegetarian" section with fake meat! Sooo much better than morning star and delish. They have fake bacon!

I'll be your friend. I am a pescaterian and I eat dairy, but I eat 30% raw. I cook several types of dishes. What kinds of foods do you like? Also, do you eat dairy? If you have an Asian store in your area, they should carry "fake" meat that's great for almost any dish.

A good way to make soups is to make your own vegetable stock. Then it will keep in the fridge for 7 days or in the freezer for mos. Then just throw in your favorite vegetables. I recently made an asian one with vegetables and soy sauce. Then I made a soup by adding mushrooms and rainbow chard! Yummy! You can event take the…

I'm a vegetarian. I work out and eat super health. However, I have a low metabolism. My problems have been skipping breakfast (slows the metabolism) and eating too few calories (slows the metabolism). So to lose weight, I have to eat breakfast and meet my caloric daily intake. Maybe ask a professional from a fitness…
