Interesting that you would ask that question. For the first time in my life, I was full on 1,200 calories today. Actually I went 4 calories over for a total of 1,204. I was on the Dukan Diet for quite a while and ate large amount of proteins, no fruit, and loads of veggies. I lost the weight and the fat and never got…

I would love to be your friend. :smile: dryvonnesmiith

Congrats!!! You have reinvented yourself. May health and wellness remain yours, forevers. Warmly, dr. S.

I can hardly wait to try this. Thanks!!!

The proper way I was taught: exhale (mouth open) twice as long as you inhale (mouth closed). i.e. exhale to the count of 1-2-3-4 then inhale to the count of 1-2. Simple. It gets more toxins out and helps your endurance.

Go to my diary and take a look at how I eat. You need more protein!!!! I am NEVER hungry. I will be more than happy to help you out. Dryvonnesmith

If you plan to maintain carbs , they should be eaten during your breakfast or lunch. Don't eat carbs without protein. Having said that, here are some suggestions to have for breakfast to add to your carb (oat bran, high fiber toast, etc): smoked salmon, smoked oysters, fresh salmon grilled from the night before, chicken,…

Ummmmm good. This is around 24 carbs. Add additional carbs to keep under 60 per day and you will see the desired results. Enjoy. (p.s.…

Don't loose hope. That's why this website is great. Counting calories alone clearly is not working for you. Use MFP to count carbs as well. A must. Increase your proteins, cut the carbs, decrease the fat. Track this daily and watch the scales go down. Good luck.

Make the fast food restaurants work for you instead of against you and your program. For instance, at McD, eat the interior of the grilled chicken sandwich (minus the mayo , minus the bread, minus the cheese). Very good. Still hungry, eat two. Better yet, eat the interior of the angus beef burger (no cheese or mayo). HMMM…

I was out of town this weekend and we needed to find a place to eat at 9:30 pm. Buffalo Wings was the only thing we could find. I did discover that they had grilled chicken pieces that were without bbq and other additives. Hence, I was able to stay on program. I have learned to question the server about the availability of…

I always use a food scale. Try it---it will keep you honest (smile).

Thanks you Amarillo--I will try this.
