  • I have just started to try to be wheat free. There is a book called Wheat Belly that my sister-in-law has recommended to me. Also, I have done the Advocare 24-day challenge, and during the cleanse phase, you can't have wheat or dairy. They give you lots of recipes though, to help you get through it. They have a great…

  • I would consider a probiotic or protein supplement. Usually when you keep calories down it seems protein is negatively affected. I use Advocare products: https://www.advocare.com/12061145. A lot of professional athletes use it because there are no banned substances. Also, their probiotic is recommended by Dr. Oz. Check…
    in What supplements / vitiamins do you take? Comment by jsmith1352 March 2013
  • Yeah, I would suggest trying to do something else on lunch, like run an errand. Sometimes I'll use that time to go to the pharmacy or post office, etc. I've also set one day a week that I allow myself to go out to lunch, usually Friday. And that's it. I know every other day I have to just eat what I brought. So, because of…

  • Same here! I have found aldi produce to be cheaper and last longer than Kroger and especially Walmart. Try to find the best aldi in your area b/c they are all a little different. some are larger and newer, and in nicer areas. The nicer the area, the better the food, from my experience.

  • I heard on the biggest loser one time to do your exact same workout but in reverse order every day. This confuses the muscles and shocks them, which leads to faster results

  • I get it! Times when I feel like I'm trying my hardest, nothing happens on the scales. Pay attention to your clothes and how they are fitting. One time i didnt lose any weight on the scales, but i was able to fit into jeans i hadn't worn in 2 years! I would say don't weigh for like 2-4 weeks, so that you don't get…
