I've been taking 2000mg of Metformin for about 5 years now. I went from 185 to 135 using Met, low-carb diet and exercise. I stick to a lower-carb diet these days, mainly because the minute I eat too many carbs, the GI distress starts right away. I consider it to be my barometer of how many carbs I can eat....especially the…

Venuto's method is carb cycling....but within one day......not over the course of a few days. He recommends eating your higher-carb (good quality.....not junk food) meals bracketed around your strength training workouts. The rest of the meals for your day are recommended to be lean protein and fibrous veggies. The theory…

I think your doctor's office is the right place to have this discussion.

This is very Montessori. :-) It makes for independent, community-minded, and self-motivated children. Cheers to you!

Check out Tom Venuto. He is a natural bodybuilder who has developed a program called The Holy Grail that addresses this exact issue. He has all the science and peer reviewed citations as well as his own experience as a bodybuilder.

Cut the cheesecake or any other goodies he likes to make into single servings and freeze them individually. That way....he can have it when he feels like it.....but it's not always staring you in the face since it's safely out of sight in the freezer.

Well......I live in GA, but I still consider myself a Jersey Girl.

We have a TV in the house. It is attached to a media server.......my wonderful techie husband set it up beautifully for us. It does not get turned on during the day until 4:00pm so that I can make dinner in peace. Once dinner hits the table.....TV off. I did not permit my children to watch TV until after they were 3 years…

Oat bran and Vanilla protein shake flavored with coffee so it's like a healthy latte. sometimes I'll add a couple scrambled eggs.

I would have had more respect for him if he had said that maybe she'd be better off with a different guy....full stop. Sure.....he'd still look like an insecure pansy to me, but the minute he brought up the English vs Asian thing, he lost my sympathy. It doesn't matter what the person's origin is.....if you really love…

This insecurity is very unattractive. Grow a set and do what it takes to make it work, if that's really what you want. Relationships take more than just a little effort.....every day...show her that you're confident, care about her and about learning about her culture, and that you're someone she can feel safe with, and…

Weigh and measure everything......then record it along with your exercise in your journal. :-) Best wishes to you on your fitness journey!

New Year's Eve....1999 going into 2000. Staying at a beautiful bed and breakfast inn in Cape May, NJ. We were at a big New Year's bash at the convention center on the boardwalk. Midnight struck, and he presented me with a beautiful sapphire and diamond engagement ring that he had designed with the jeweler and had specially…

Schedule your workouts in your calendar. Make an appointment with yourself. You are worth it. Write down your results each time, and you can go back over them to see how much progress you have made on those days when you think things aren't going ok. Keep track of distance, time, calories burned, amount of weight lifted,…

There is not enough evidence of any "next life". We have tons of evidence that there is "this" life....now.....today...... The most reasonable conclusion to reach given this data is that you only have one life.......don't waste it thinking that you'll get another chance. Make the choice today....take that walk rather than…

I am totally fine with Fat Acceptance until: 1. They encroach into my seat space on the airplane. 2. They cause my health insurance rates to go up to cover their blood pressure, diabetes, extra-large hospital beds, super-sized wheelchairs, etc. 3. They clog up the grocery aisles with their ride-on shopping carts.....does…

The best abs are made in the kitchen. A person needs to have very low body fat in order for their abs to pop. Looks like you are well on your way! :flowerforyou:

Yeah.....but you're a fast food knight. - Garden State

This reminds me of Mark Addy in that movie "The Full Monty".....he's sitting in the shed......belly wrapped in cling wrap.....eating a candy bar. Just pathetic.

Great bod!

I have it......feel free to add me as a friend

Anything by James Michener. They are nice and long for the summer.....and you learn some awesome history along with a great story.

Take a leisurely walk and keep moving. Drink lots of water.....take a mild pain killer. The gentle movement from the walking will get the soreness out.

No. You choose actions that will maximize your chances of arriving safely.
