I see two sides to this diet. One if it seems impossible to do you won't stick with it. But I have heard people say that giving up grains and dairy are good for digestion and allergies if you have them. Legumes on the other hand are good protein. So hard to say.

This

Your body might be trying to tell you something. If you want something that bad just eat a small amount so you don't crave it so much. And for heavens sakes REST. Your body needs it when your sick.

Every day. It is my daily caffeine fix. Yes it is bad for me. I do drink diet. LOL

Dear people who make fun of people at the gym, I don't go to the gym but have heard many people ( and you know who you are) that make fun of peoples clothes at he gym. Yes there are tight clothes,loose clothes,skinny people, and fat people. But they are there to work out just like you. Give them the credit they deserve for…

Let's see....Headache, Heart pain....HUMMMM why wouldn't you try another. Maybe one can give you a stroke.... I know this sounds mean but listen to what you said. You had these side effects and your willing to risk it and try another. Just get mad enough about wasting your money and do it right. I'm not saying it will be…

We all have those days! Glad you resisted temptation!

I understand but if you can push through the pain the workout sometimes helps with cramps and pain.

I have been in a similar situation. My mom had lung cancer. My father was dragging her to chemo treatments( he couldn't let go either) when she was lack for a better work out of her mind. She didn't know who anyone was and she couldn't function anymore. I called the doctor and said she couldn't be dragged for therapy (she…

Wow Fantastic. Keep up the good work. You can do it!

I would just congratulate her on her loss and be happy in the fact that you are making your own lifestyle change. It sounds like maybe she is just insecure and needs more attention when she does something. The less you let it bother you the less she will bother you with it. You know you are working hard. Most of the time…

I am addicted to my scale But to me it keeps me in check. I don't change things if it hasn't moved but if I gain to much I check myself. I also go by how my cloths fit. But I do step on it every day good or bad who knows.

I would suggest cutting out the bread and pasta. I know when I eat bread it totally stalls my weight loss. Eat more protein before workouts. I think this would help.

Just watched the one where they bought the time machine. It made me LOL too. I just got on the big Bang bandwagon and can't stop watching.

I take nothing. I should take iron and Vitamin D but haven't really ever taken it. I really don't want to drudge out extra pills every day just to be fit. It seems to me to be the opposite of healthy, Not that it's right but just the way my mind works!

I would listen to your doctor first. If you are really unsure because you know your body then go to the GYN and see what they say. A second opinion never hurts. On a personal note I do think weight can play a role but diet can also. If you diet is making changes then so can your period. Exercise can play a role also. If…

My reward is fitting into old cloths I haven't worn in a while. That's a big boost for me.

The barcode scanner never worked on my phone so not sure. I would go with what you know. If it seems low it probably is.

The reason why people say you gain weight with diet soda is that you are still drinking something sweet making you want more sweet. It's not the soda itself that hurts only if you go for the real sweet. The other problems that might be associated with the soda is the citric acid can erode your teeth and the sodium some…

I don't drink,smoke or do drugs. I don't even drink coffee. I get my caffeine by drinking Diet Pepsi.

You don't have to eat organic to lose weight. It's just healthier to eat. You are at a plateau. You probably just need to amp up your exercise routine. Change it up and a few things. Sometimes also when your at a plateau if you eat a little more for a little bit then it will start up your weight loss again. If you are…

Anybody that says they have not fallen off the wagon at least once is lying. It happens. Life happens. I fell off the wagon from last year also. Gained back 20 pounds due to taking prednisone and eating like a fool. But I recently logged back on and starting again. 3 days and going strong. Sounds trivial I know but its…

Going over on sugar and protein are okay if it's not a huge amount. But if your just going over because of fruit it is probably okay. I usually go over on protein and some on sugar also.

I totally understand!!! You will get back on track. I have been on and off the wagon loads of times. Just keep tracking your food even if you cheat. The good thing is there is always a new day. If you mess up in the morning get back on the wagon in the afternoon. Don't think because you messed up you need to eat badly the…

I have those weird smells too. It could be sinus problems. When you have sinus problems or when they clear up sometimes scents seem to be stronger and seem strange. I have nasal polyps and when I have been on steroids to clear them I smell all sorts of weird smells because my sense of smell is so strong. Another…

I would have done the same thing but maybe have a banana or apple. I also usually have a banana before a workout because it gives you a boost of potassium which you need when you workout. It might help with the crash feeling. If you are doing a really good burn that day add a little food to your lunch. More protein and…

I usually eat pure protein bars for breakfast because they are easy and full of protein. I am not a breakfast eater so they are simple. For lunch I would say a salad but watch the salad dressing. (usually where the bad calories are). Then chicken for dinner with more salad or veggies. You have to start to cook. Those…

I love both for different reasons. Cats are sweet and really do have lots of personality but don't depend on lots of attention. Dogs meet you at the door with lots of kisses and tail wags but need more personal attention. I have always had both until recently. Now just one dog and because he doesn't like cats I can't get…

Eat to Live -not live to eat!!! That's my favorite. I read another quote the other day that could apply.. Don't ruin the present with yesterdays ruined past.

I pretty much hate fish also. BUT I can eat tuna,salmon,cod and talapia. I don't eat them often. Tuna mostly out of the can (in water). Try baking your salmon in wine. My husband took some wine we had and cooked our salmon in it to get rid of it. It turned out great. I hate the whole fishy smell thing too. White fish like…
