Yum eggplant

i've lost 30lbs in 5-6 mths many years ago and that was difficult to maintain and so i gained it back. I was on a very strict diet at the time. 1. flexetarian - heavy plant base with eggs, fish, dairy, fruit , nuts, tofu, soups, beans, temph, soy products, ate at mostly vegetarian restaurants and eateries that offer lots…

not all fruit has high GI , if you want to stay on the low end check out these articles http://www.weightlossforall.com/glyemic-list-fruits-vegs.htm http://www.diabetes.org/food-and-fitness/food/what-can-i-eat/understanding-carbohydrates/glycemic-index-and-diabetes.html :)

yes!

Love Fitnessblender!

5'9, goal 150(size 6). Im at 160(size 8-10). I've been between 135 (size 2) and 175(size 12). My main focus is building muscle and losing fat, not just being skinny. I rather have energy and strength to support my joints for life-long activities as I get older.

She's a beautiful full figure woman and is probably in better health and shape than people who don't work out, eat crap, smoke, drink, etc.

people driving BELOW the speed limit on a one lane road. :s

hemp protein can be found in vitamin shop or other health food store. I use Nutiva hemp protein powder it contains both fiber, protein, and some vitamins/minerals. hope this helps. good luck.…

i had planet fitness for a year and really liked that i had three locations near me to choose from. The mornings were best not too crowded and i did the walk at 3.0 to 3.5 for 30-45 min and i did other machines to switch it up to not get bored. I paid $20/m in order to use all PF locations. but if there are no other…

why skim? there are other options...lactose free milk may be an option, I like horizon's 2% lactose free milk. If you are trying to avoid animal byproducts then you can also look into rice milk, hemp milk along side almond milk, just continue to check the labels for nutritional content as you already been doing.

it's just another sad love song racking my brain like crazy, guess im all torn up be it fast or slow it doesn't let go or shake me and its all because of you...

fruits, veggies, potatoes, spinach, kale, quinoa, corn base cereal, oatmeal, bok choy, mushrooms, oranges, bananas, zucchini, split pea soup, hemp protein powder (for shakes) lentils (since u have tummy issues i would also cut out beans/gas producing products) I also have stomach issues and I "use" to be vegetarian but it…

Im ok with the results, but I still have to keep up the routine. That's the hard part. You have a lower BMI than 82% of females aged 30-44 in your country Global Below average You have a lower BMI than 52% of females aged 30-44 in the world Did you know? If everyone in the world had the same BMI as you, it would remove…

When I eat that way I lose weight quicker. I would take the challenge for the week. Then add back in greek yogurt and oatmeal - i find those two help improve my digestion.

Yes, i have heard about this for years. It has helped me in the past, the challenge really is DOING IT. When you live in a society, culture, family etc where carbs, breads, pasta, rice, potatoes make up a majority of the meals it can be difficult to break this habit.

ANY starch :blushing:

greek yogurt, milk, tuna, salmon, eggs, hemp protein powder, nuts, chicken.

I love Kind bars, just started the Kind granola, the cinnamon flax is my fav right now, love it with yogurt. :tongue:

One idea I got was based on a yogurt ad - it was chia seeds with walnuts and blueberry yogurt. So i use plain greek yogurt, fresh blueberries, walnuts and a teaspoon of chia seeds. Another idea was to add them to my berry smoothie I also add them as part of my ice cream toppings with fresh fruit and cocoa nibs And once I…

Incredible! Thank you for the inspiration!:happy:

Please read me...:blushing: I am 32 taking birth control Lo lo estrin fe - (yes two LO LO) it has less hormones in it to reduce common side effects. From my experience and this is just my own, it takes about 3-6 mths for the side effects to go away - mine were breakout spotting for 1-2 weeks. The other side was i got acne…

Im 5'8, 156. Lost 13 lbs in 3 months so its safe to say 2 more months I could lose 7 more lbs for a total of 20 lbs lost in 5 months. Low to no starch low carbs high protein high veggies average fruit intake 15-30 Pilaties combo with High Intensity Interval Training everyday No cheat days (a cheat meal, perhaps), good luck.

sounds like you are doing everything right....if you just started then it will take time for your body to adjust to the new habit. It may take anywhere from 21 days to 3 months for you to feel comfortable with your routine. At this point you may want to focus on "triggers" that may cause you to fall off from time to…

Only for breakfast I do a shake and or juicer. It has helped with weight lost and "regularity":blushing: Shake recipe protein: 1/2 cup of milk 5.3oz greek plain organic yogurt 1 to 3 tablespoons of organic hemp powder Fruit(any combo): I only use frozen fruit (mostly organic) since they last longer than buying fresh fruit.…

i have the same issue so i cut down on starchy foods and incorporated more planks, pilates, push ups, burpees , hiking (treadmil on max incline) and any movement that focuses on using your core to work the whole body. It took about 3 months to see results. good luck.

Its ok to let it out, "dust yourself off" and get back up on your feet, today is a new day be grateful that you can even walk, are in good health not tied to a bed in a hospital. You may not know how you are going to get to your goal but all you have to do is take just ONE Step! Start with affirmations to BOOST your…

Many people underestimate STRESS as a factor that may be sabotaging your weight lost. :explode: http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/can-stress-cause-weight-gain It took me about 3 mths before i started seeing results. Although not clinically diagnosed I have experience severe IBS and gluten sensitivity therefore I eat…

Im on a 1200 intake goal, but it took about 3 months just to get use to it. Was eating 1500-1600, after workout deficit 2-3 days a week and lost weight. Now down to 1200-1400 with short HIIT work outs 4-5/wk. For meals I find the simple the ingredients the lower the calories - shake 1-2 fruits + milk and/or protein powder…

Ive tried a particular "blue" diet pill that was meant to remove the fat by preventing it from being absorbed by your body. I wont call out the company but they did have commercials a few years back and I am not surprised they no longer have them..but its still sold in many stores...what's the catch? it makes you poop…
