  • Are you eating any vegetables? How about carrots, celery, peppers, etc with hummus? Speaking of hummus, how about beans? I love beans & rice with salsa, but that would involve cooking the rice.

    in Is there a way to increase certain nutrients (protein, fiber Comment by Diyan March 2012
  • When I was eating very low carb, I had breakfast: sauteed veggies with eggs lunch: meat (larger portion than I was used to), green veggie, white or yellow veggie (mashed cauliflower, rutabaga...) afternoon: coffee with almond milk dinner: meat (larger portion again), green veggie, white or yellow veggie (large portions)…

  • Eat your exercise calories if you're hungry. I don't remember target heart rates - I haven't been willing to invest in a good monitor - but I shoot for exercising hard enough that I could talk but not sing.

  • I was completely dairy free for a year while I nursed my first son. I used mostly rice milk to supplement what I got from vegetables. Now I mostly drink almond milk.

    in Is anyone else starving all the time? Comment by Diyan February 2012
  • No, it's not bad to be over on your protein. It is possible to get too much, but your carb/protein/fat ratio doesn't have to be exactly what they recommend. In fact, if you go to the "My Home" tab and select "goals," at the bottom choose "change goals" and select "custom," you can change the ratios. I have mine at 45%…
