This ^^^^^^^ I live in Europe and have to buy online my Stores or health foods do not carry it. If anyone lives in Europe and knows where to buy this online accepts paypal please let me know. I LOVE anything with the word coconut in it.

I was so bored with my same salad so stopped eating them. Now with all these new salad recipes I will not be bored again. Thanks :flowerforyou:

This ^^^^^ Thank You Kindly for answering my question. I am told it is permanent . I eat a high protein diet I thought that helps build muscle is this true? Do you have any suggestion how not to lose the little muscle I have during weight loss?

Is it possible to gain muscle without any exercise? My health issues do not allow me to exercise,I am on bed rest so i have to depend only on decreasing calories to lose weight. Does this mean if I am losing muscle I will never regain it again? Very sad if this is true.

You are doing fantastic! Thank You for sharing your weight loss journey with all of us on MFP. I am so honored to be one of your MFP Friends.

I was laying in bed recently on my Tummy reading my computer. My hubby comes in to have me check out ebay auction. He laid half his body his legs on his part of the bed and used his elbow to prop up his upper torso of his body using my rear end to support himself with his elbow. The weight of his elbow digging into me…

Thank You OP and everyone who contributed I need this list so much!

This ^^^^ The truth is every diet I have been on has FAILED. The reason is not the diet' fault it is me. I achieve the weight loss rejoicing the suffering of calorie counting was over and than return back to the same eating habits of eating whatever I wanted. I learned the hard way the fat cells had shrunk but are still…

This ^^^^ I am going to look into this more I know about Atkins and have done induction watch my carb intake to stay under 100 try to stay under 50 on good days. I admit this is new to me about low glycemic I thought it was the same as low carb so I just learned something new. Low fat eating is harder for me to stick with…

This ^^^^^^^ I use to put hundreds of extra calorie from adding butter on my popcorn now I do not do that anymore. I bought the fake butter spray afraid to use it after some reports say it causes brain tumors. YIKES no thank you! I agree Coconut oil on popcorn does not taste like coconut and it tastes better on popcorn…

This ^^^^^ I love gherkin pickles what is the name brand? I live in Europe so I will have to find them online to purchase them. Vlasic bread and butter pickles are my favorite and sugar free. I have a Friend that sends them to me from USA.

This ^^^^^^^ I make sure to keep the fat higher than the protein in my Macros. Bacon fills me up a rice cake makes me more hungry even though it is lower in calories than the bacon. I am eating 2 boiled eggs now with bacon before going to bed because I know protein combined with the fat keeps me satisfied until morning.

I love Atkins Bake mix and sub my recipes that call for flour with it. I have tried carb quick sub for flour but Atkins Baking mix is the best. I bread fish in it mixed with Parmesan cheese, make breaded cauliflower, Zucchini, I love the stuff. Jay Robb Whey Protein Powder has no splenda or aspartame only Stevia and it is…

This ^^^^^ I also have Fibro and was diagnosed with it about 15 yrs ago or more, I lost track of the years. I can never understand when people speak of flare ups because my flare ups of pain never cease, depending what I am doing it is more severe. My poor puppy will be walking on the bed just a tiny maltese pup and touch…

This ^^^^^ Thanks for the knowledge and suggestion for Videos. I have been a low to mod carber since March.

I have to buy some unflavored protein powder but I will be trying this. I only have Jay Robb Vanilla protein whey powder, that will not taste good right?

This ^^^^ I have tried about 6 different brands but will not switch anymore for in my opinion Barlean's is the best tasting! It comes in a dark brown container and I believe that is what helps it retain its flavor. I love it on popcorn especially.

Congratulations you are proof counting the calories works! You are an inspiration to many and I am honored to be on your MFP list of Friends. :)

This ^^^^^ Thanks for the link will watch it later

This ^^^^ I did not read your post before I posted. We have this in common and I agree it is the best tasting no bitter aftertaste.

I use nu-naturals Nu-Stevia in everything. I found out the hard way the chemicals in Splenda affects my respiratory system as it left me gasping for air. Did you know Splenda formula was intended as insecticide. Just look it up on the internet. If you want to kill ants I hear it does a great job. I believe people will find…

This ^^^^ What keeps me motivated when the scale moves downward too slowly, although losing inches? That is a easy answer it is MFP People like you who inspire me not to give up! Hugs to you my Friend and congratulations.

Congratulations on your weight loss,all of you are so inspiring :smile:

I need to buy a new blender that not only juices but also is a great ice crusher. Any suggestions? OP thanks for this post.

This will be my next cheat meal since I do not eat white bread being glutton intolerant and on low carb eating plan since March. Home made Italian Beef Sandwich on Italian Bread. :love: with Jalapeño Peppers and chopped onions. The problem is I know I will not stop at one sandwich so it will be a off the scale day.

This ^^^^^^^ Thank You for that information, Now I understand why I look far younger than my biological years compared with my Friends the same age or older. I do not have a single line on my face, and everyone comments how young I look. I did not realize a slow metabolism can be a blessing along with the curse of extra…

This ^^^ Thank You for explaining this in terms I can understand. I not only battle fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, recently discovered lymphedema swells my arms and ankles up with just the slightest exercise. (blockage in lymphatic system,no known cause or cure) I must eat every 3 hours because of severe consequences of…

This ^^^^^ It is so hard watching our MFP Friends who are not hypothyroid lose weight so easily by just cutting calories. I am zig zagging calories and carbs to try and get the scale moving. I cannot fast and must eat every 3 hours because of hypoglycemia for me it can be very dangerous.
