add some organic unsweetened cranberry juice to your water (not a lot ) and start each day with hot water with squeeze of 1/4 of a lemon. These are steps from The Fat Flush Diet that I still enjoy doing.

Hi! if you go to settings and change your diary settings to count your sugar, fiber and protein intakes daily, I think you might see that you are not where you might want to be for a healthy diet. A quick look at your last week's menus, looks like not enough vegetables, proteins and fiber. (I'm a lunch lady so nutrition is…

Fat free cottage cheese with berries, fat free plain greek yogurt with a drizzle of honey, berries and a sprinkle of granola, make a quinoa and bulgar salad (cold) with pineapple tidbits, toasted coconut, walnuts and a drizzle of orange juice and/or maple syrup.:tongue:

I make a Thai Tofu Peanut salad, use your broccoli slaw or any julienned veggie combo, the dressing is rice vinegar, a bit of sugar or honey, tamari sauce, hot chili sauce( a touch) a bit of hoisin sauce, a drip of sesame oil. add diced tofu, chopped peanuts, and cilantro. It is sooooo yummy!

Roasted asparagus sprinkled with lemon juice and sesame seeds, roasted sweet potatoes tossed with a little tamari sauce & maple syprup sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds, Roasted parsnips, carrots, zuchinni, and…

You look HOT! If I could wear a dress like that, I would LOVE to wear it out, but my hubby would not be able to handle all the other men looking at me! If your hubby is proud of you and wants to show you off and can handle it - GO FOR IT! I wish I were young enough and fit enough to pull it off!:happy:

I am a chef at an elementary school, our kids love ranch, but with the autolyzed yeast, msg and preservatives, I hate using the mix. We make our own using pureed fat free cottage cheese, buttermilk, garlic, parsley, dill, celery seed, salt & pepper. The kids love it and can eat all they want as it is higher in protein,…

Try a wine spritzer, wine with club soda or tonic. Or gin & tonic with lime (yum!)

THANK YOU!! For helping me get my butt off this chair and get outside. I have been procrastinating this morning. But you have inspired me to get outside and do my running homework ( I just started a No Boundaries learn to run program ). Can't say more, gotta go now before I lose the motivation!!

I LOVE your attitude and positive outlook! Sooooo Happy for you!

" I have found that the trick is to MIX IT UP! Dont just stick to the same thing. Try new things! Even if you don't think you can do it....trust me you can! If its hard at first...continue doing it dont be discouraged....because eventually youll do it, then youll just continue to do it BETTER! and it will get easier!" So…

Fantastic! What a great achievement!

A healthy happy Mama! great job! You are an inspiration!

My husband also has low testosterone. He has been using a patch and has used the gel. He and I both wonder for how long and what's in it and isn't there a better (natural) way to increase it. We have been reading up on foods that help increase testosterone. I am very interested to hear what others know and have experienced…

Not too recent, but Kale Chips. They are soooo good! Make your own, they are easy and crunchy.

LOVE coconut oil! I make a spread with Coconut oil, raw almond butter, ground flax seed and a touch of honey. I use it on my whole grain toast in place of butter or peanut butter. I also use coconut oil on popcorn tossed with some Indian spices, Yum!

If you are raising your own chickens for eggs, you really needn't worry so much about the yolks. They are full of Omega 3's, egg yolks have gotten a bad rap, but organic, free range are great for you! I am thinking about raising chickens myself, just so I can have a whole egg and not just whites. There's nothing like a…

I like that NSV ! I had never heard that before, I am new to MFP, I have had some small accomplishments along the way, but never knew they had a name, Good for you! How exciting! I just LOVE hearing those stories!
