Fruit should be eaten alone to get best nutrition value for your body. This is due to digestion times. Most protein from meats or even shakes takes up to 10 hours to digest in the body. Heavy meats like read meat can take up to 40 hours. This causes digestion issues and can result to the meat spoiling in your tummy. Food…

thanks I will have to check it out!

i love it. My fav is the Gingerade. I am vegan so I cut out yogurt a few years ago. Its a good replacement. Also less calories if you are looking into that as well. It is expensive but eating healthy now outweighs the price of high doctor bills later.

I agree with this. Replace a few workouts with yoga for about two weeks and continue to get rest. And up your cards. Usually when you need more energy good cards will do the trick. Warning: Yoga can be addictive so you may like it so much that you stick with it =) Good luck to you

Hi, I am on week 4 of this program. The sessions are only 30 mins and you can go at your own pace. Its not distance oriented like others http://www.c25k.com/c25k_treadmill.html

it looks like you need more cardio. try doing cardio 3 times a week. if you have hit a plateau then it should hit you over the hump

You will need to eat less calories. Giving your digestive system a break allows your body to use the energy in other places. In your case the energy can be used for healing. Eat foods that are low on the digestive scale. Fruits, soups, smoothies... etc. When you eat foods that take longer to digest your body sometimes…

Welcome and good luck!

It is very time consuming. I usually do all my juicing at night before bed. With smoothie I make enough to at least drink two servings from it to ensure that it is as fresh as possible.

This looks like a great program. I am all IN!!! I love running during the fall.

Welcome to MFP. You are in the right place. Feel free to add me! =)

I love my body bugg!!!! I use it hand and hand with MFP. You can log your foods on your body bugg but Id rather do it here. I track my calories burned and it has helped me to keep on track with my goals. I would recommend it!

add request on the way!

nice to see all of you!

Vegan and looking for new friends as well. Please add me =)

oh that is awesome!!!!

I second this emotion!

I agree with homemade. Nothing is better than that. Its a tedious process soaking the beans and cooking them but the end result is wonderful. I never used canned beans. Preparing your own is so much better. Try this recipe.…

Great job!!!! Keep it up

I agree here. If you go over your calorie count then no matter what it is will turn to fat if you body cannot burn it. Protein acts different from Carbs, and fat. Protein is not an energy source. It is an amino acid used to build & repair muscles. Carbs & Fat are used to provide your body with energy. However you want to…

It depends on the person if you are not used to working out early without food then you may get nauseous. However you do not want to eat right before working out because it can cause cramps and gas. So try to at least eat 30mins to an hour before working out if you can. Take it slow so that your body will get used to the…

Hi I am VEGAN.. so if you ever need advice or have questions please ask. My fav websites are vegweb.com, http://www.theppk.com/ <<< has the best recipes Good luck with your endeavor. I have been vegan for about 3 years now and it was the best decision I ever made. Also you could also read this book called SKINNY ***** by…

Well done!!! Keep it up. Even if next month is not the same amount of lost dont give up.. Keep at it and you will be at your goal in no time =)

I suggest reading this book called Skinny *****, by Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin. It will explain the reason for craving addictions. She also promotes veganism but if you skip to chapter 10 it will explain why we have these addictions and how it hinders own weight loss goals. Good luck

I agree. Thanks for this post. =)

What does the detox consist of?

Pearland, Texas??

Yes i suggest patting the slice too!!! Its a lot of grease that doesn't need to be digested!!!

I agree with the zig zag.. Also you need to change up your workouts every 3 to 4 weeks to avoid plateaus.
