I am trying to help with the bread - I love bread was the quoted food - you really do not need bread to sustain life and there are more efficient ways to get whole grains into your diet besides breads and cereals. Grains such as quinoa, farrow, kamut could be a nice supplement instead of bread. Steel cut oat meal with…

Ok so I am looking at the post - your workout is fine - you are moving and that is key. The cardio looks good and you are doing the strength training in combination. The problem is totally diet related. Lay off the bacon and sausage - if you absolutely need it try a leaner version - such as maybe a turkey bacon. The steak…

Good luck with your Insanity journey! I completed it 2x and it is an awesome workout - please feel free to ask questions as they come up. Modify when you need to, drink a ton of H2O and rest when you need to..have fun and dig deeper :)

I have been drinking Shakeology since May 2011 everyday and simply love it. My husband a type 1 diabetic had great success with Shakeology and he has been a loyal drinker since September 2011. Did my research and this was by far one of the best out there!! Good luck

Awesome job! Completed 2 rounds on Insanity and think it is a great program

Awesome list of proteins Stacey...let us know how you like your Shakeology - I love chocolate, but the tropical strawberry is slowing becoming a new favorite -enjoy!! Quinoa is one of my favorite grains - I have a great recipe for quinoa lettuce wraps I will post it below - so delicious!!!…

If you liked Turbo Jam you will love Turbo Fire - it is a much more intense and so much fun - awesome! Good luck let us know how you like it!!

Definitely take you calcium pill with vitamin D is will help the body absorb the calcium. Also make sure you only take 500-600mg of calcium at a time because that is all the body will absorb at one time

I am on week 15 of Turbo Fire and I absolutely love it - I finished Insanity 2x and wanted something new and I am so glad I found Turbo Fire so fun!!!

Awesome - job on getting to week 3! It only gets better and better - Fire 45 is a great one too - the music is the best

When I made quinoa I boil it in low sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth is good too - gives it a nice flavor Here is a yummy recipe too!! http://keepyourdietreal.com/food/appetizerssnacks/quinoa-and-black-bean-lettuce-wraps/

I think Birkam personally helped me and it is a nice addition to my other workouts. It has really toned my legs for sure! It is definitely a nice way to put life on hold for 1 1/2 and just focus on me, my postures and that's it!!!

Protein shake with peanut butter and milk great source of protein!!

What about a protein shake that is made with whey?? There are definitely good ones on the market that would be a nice way to up your protein intake!!

Totally agree! A binge is a whole pizza, a sleeve of oreos, a bag of chips, chicken wings and then a 2 liter bottle of soda to wash it down!!! 300-500 calories is what I consider a meal!!!

Shakeology is not available in GNC it is sold online. Beachbody the creators of P90X and Insanity designed this all natural shake/meal replacement supplement. It really was great for me and I have tried all protein shakes and this one was the ONLY one that made sense to me and the only one where I like the taste too! Have…

Enjoying the last day of 36 tomorrow 37!

Me too! I added you :)

The worst food is mayonnaise - the consistency and thought along bugs me out! Onions are bad - the flavor is fine - the texture and the crunch are awful Bananas - I do not like the texture or flavor of bananas. Bread, candy, pudding anything that is flavored banana to me is not good!

There is no dumb questions :) I will put it in the terms of why it is important to me and why I drink it everyday! Shakeology is an all natural meal replacement/supplement. It come in 3 flavors - Greenberry, Chocolate - these are both vegetarian made with whey protein and there is a Tropical Strawberry - made with brown…

Carbohydrates are saccharides, "poly" just means how low the the chain is - glucose is a saccharide too...like I said it takes a while for the brain to shut down when there is a lack of glucose, but the primary source is glucose for the brain. I love my fruits and veggies and try to stay away from the processed breads and…

It will take a while, but carbs are what fuels the brain - light headed, fatigue, headaches can occur from lack of carbs, not sure about the brain shutting off!

My favorite Mexican healthy dinner to get is chicken, steak, shrimp fajitas! I do not eat the tortillas and ask for lettuce, tomatoes, salsa, jalapenos - you could do peppers and onions and you will be full - this is low fat, high protein, low carb! I do not order the cheese or sour cream, but a little avocado slice…

Every day I can enjoy Cadbury mini eggs is a the BEST cheat day!!! I don't call it a cheat I call it a treat :)

I am new too! So please free to add me - my background is in nutrition so please ask me questions too! I will try to help in any way

You all can add me - I am new to MFP, but I have a BS in human nutrition so please ask me questions, would love to help!!!

Having a degree in nutrition carbs are essential in weight loss. Your carbs should come from natural sources such as fruits and veggies and leave out the processed carbs such as bread, pasta, rice, cereal ect. During your workouts especially cardio conditioning you will burn your glycogen stores first so the best way to…
