I understand this is scary and frustrating, but you already know what you need to do. Now you just need to DO IT. You NEED to see a cardiologist AND be compliant with any meds he prescribes. If they cause side effects that don't subside after you've given you body a chance you get used to them, or they are untolerable,…

How does the ANTIBIOTIC doxycycline build up intestinal bacteria? o.O How does intestinal bacteria cause belly fat? O.o i sure hope you have bacteria in your intestines. Normal flora is essential to balance the "good" vs "bad" bacteria. Doxycycline doesn't cause weight gain. Stomach upset, esophageal irritation, increased…

She probably has a ferrous fumarate supplement if hers has 100mg elemental iron. The dose her doctor recommends can be anywhere from 60-200mg elemental iron daily (in divided doses like 1 tablet of ferrous sulfate 1-3 times daily). It will be based on the severity of the anemia. That is not a high dose in iron deficiency…

I believe your question is why to the pills contain 100mg when the RDA is 10mg? Is that correct? The RDA is for people without deficiencies. Supplements are intended for people with deficiencies so of course the dose will need to be much higher. It's meant it try to bring the iron levels up, not simply maintain. Low iron…

A food scale is SO helpful! I bought a $20 one from bed bath and beyond about a year and a half ago and it really helps with portions sizes when I PRE-log the calories. At this point, im pretty good at estimating sizes of things i eat regularly, but I usually do still weigh. For me, being able to see the nutrition info…

I too have a somewhat addictive personality. When I get focused on something, I get FOCUSED on it until I move on to something else. It can be anything...paper crafting, counting calories, Vegas, thrifting, setting a skincare routine, selling on eBay, shopping, bubble tea, anything then one day I find something else and…

I'd probably just be honest. I don't eat seafood and one time, years ago, my BFs mom had us over for dinner and she had made seafood as a special dinner for us. I kinda just froze and felt TERRIBLE when my BF had to tell her I don't eat seafood! It really wasn't a big deal to her at all though, everyone else enjoyed the…

TBH, very few of the posted responses were rude. Ones that could be considered rude were very mild. First off, let me clarify that I am not vegan nor vegetarian, but i dont eat seafood. For some strange reason, when people hear this they try to get me to eat seafood or cannot fathom that it grosses me out and a pointless…

^um, no. Just no. Edit: Didn't realize how old this was, but my comment still applies so I'm leaving it.

Thank you! This was such a great laugh before bed. I usually just get annoyed reading posts on here, but this one made all the other ones worth it. According to that list, I'm just screwed though...I might as well roll over and die right now! Haha. This was a joke...right??

You can donate the free cous cous to me I stead of the garbage! I haven't even had cous cous in years, but I'll take the free food! No need to waste! I eat a carb heavy diet and I don't find that carbs bloat me. Carbs do not bloat everyone across the board. I think my stomach looks pretty decent even with my carb heavy,…

Yes, let's waste perfectly edible food (& money) because it contains some artificial sweetener. Obviously, this will immedately harm you, if not kill you, and thats why is available for consumption. /sarcasm Seriously though, I can almost guarantee you that this will not be the first or last time in your life that you…

I'm from Queens/borderline Nassau. I'm not a very good MFP friend though. I just use the app to count and the boards for recipie ideas (rarely) or for entertainment. Some of these threads are just absurd. My diet is pretty average and I don't exercise much outside of my normal day to day activities. I would like to walk…

I don't post often, but this is a great post. On topic-I log my vitamins because they're gummies. It's just a multi plus fiber supplement on days when I'm low only. It is only about 20 cals so it won't make a huge difference anyway.

KMart919, but pretty much just regular old pictures of life. Nothing fitness related. Sometimes food, but not the healthy stuff haha.

True, but unless the OP label reads differently it not the company. Nutrition facts for nutrasea fish oil capsules link: http://www.ascentahealth.com/products/human/nutrasea-original-120-softgels 4.5 x 9 = 40.5. All calories are estimates and labels are allowed to be within 20% accurate, I think so round down to 40.…

Just out of curiosity, could you have simply moved over half a step in the first place? That could have avoided the whole silly situation. I'm small and when I had to commute via bus and subway, I still often found myself readjusting my stance or position for not only my comfort, but for that of those around me as well.…

OP, this is my first post as most of the topics here are just petty or silly, but I felt like I should reply. I'm sorry so many people took the time to look at your pictures & judge, but not read what you've written about yourself. I've always been at a healthy weight, but I had surgery in February and in the 2 months…
