I'm gluten free. You can find gluten free oats, Bob's Red Mill makes both regular and quick oats that are gluten free. There is also a gluten free beer on the market now. I can't remember the name of it off hand, but google gluten free beer and a few will pop up. The biggest challenge for me was eliminating bread. I love a…

If you can't tell when you are full then it's not a good idea to eat util you feel that way. It sounds to me me like you could be experiencing some Leptin resistance. Leptin is the hormone that tells you you're full. The real indicator of this is when you said you are hungry 30 min later. Google Leptin resistance symptoms…

Two homemade protein waffles topped off with some homemade nutella and a cup of breakfast tea! :0)

What about Mac Nuts? Toss in 1/4 cup of those to finish off your lunch.

I like Moving Comfort Bras. I have had this problem my entire life and used to wear two sports bras just to play soccer and then tried the regular bra and a sports bra combo. Moving Comfort makes a bra that is both combined with a hook closure in the back. It has an underwire bra with a mes overlay that is perfect for me.…

Yep, yep, yep to both. I'm in agreement. I couldn't lose a thing while just cutting calories. I'm now gluten free/grain free and taking in my 20% carbs from low glycemic vegetables and those are the only carbs I eat. I'm actually also about 50% fat and 30% protien and still losing!

Colostrum is nature's natural immune builder. It's what we all got when we were first breast fed and what science attempts to duplicate in baby formula. Constipation can also be an indication that your body is fighting something in your intestine so this should help to fix what ever might be going on there. It was…

Abs are really built in the kitchen. Include good fats and proteins in your diet along with low glycemic carbs (brussel sprouts, mushrooms, cabbage, cauliflower, strawberries, blueberries) and you will be on your way. I'd agree with others that suggest keeping your cardio up with things like swimming and cycling.

Almond butter brownies are always good!

It is very possible the artificial sweetener is the cause. I would suggest using Stevia as your sweetener. It's natural and zero calorie. I use the Sweet Leaf brand because some of the others I've looked at have Dextrose it in and that's just sugar.

What are your goals? Are eating your calories back because you want to maintain? What ever the reason, I'd suggest you add in GOOD fats and proteins. Processed breads, cookies and ice cream do NOT fall into that category. Healthy ways to increase your calories are to add a healthy fat/oil to what ever your cooking like…

I have suffered from constipation with an increase in protein. I ended up adding colostrum to my long list of other supplements and within a few days it really started to help. I used Symbiotics Colostrum Plus. I suggest starting slowly because too much too soon can cause bad die off. Once I felt like my pipes were clean…

I make egg muffins for the week and the heat it up and walk out the door eating it. On Sunday afternoon, I scramble about a dozen eggs and then fill prepared LARGE muffin tins with the egg, bacon and cheddar cheese. Bake in the oven for 30min. Pull out let them cool and put in the refrigerator. Take them out in the morning…
