The idea that a craving comes from a lack of something is probably right, although, the things that we think we crave for a certain reason isn't what our bodies are trying to tell us we crave at all. Sometimes we just want it and that one reason defends our bad behavior. In actuality, the body is asking for something it…

I've been doing Paleo for about five weeks. Although, I have my bites here and there, I'm not supposed to. It is tough, but I am becoming more and more dedicated, Once I can make some coconut/almond flour bread, I will be fine. :) It's expensive though, so it will definitely only been on special occasions. Since starting…

It's just a way for big girls to feel better about themselves. C'mon, let 'em have something. :) I'm a big girl, but I don't have rolls to make me curvy, I have the curves to make me curvy. My body was made for child bearing, HAhahahaha. Smaller around my waist than my hips and chest. :) WHen I think of a skinny girl I…

The pants that you used to call "your fat pants" can now pass for skinny jeans..... :(

Haha, I second this^^^

It may seem sad, but why would someone in the presence of God want to be watching over this hell hole.... I actually think, if we do go somewhere like heaven or hell, we forget everything of "earth", and that is why I see Heaven as something magnificent. No burdens, no worries, no troubles. Hell on the other hand... I…

Hey :) Don't get discouraged.... me and my boyfriend went Paleo about a month ago. It's been really tough. No pasta, flour, bread, corn, milk, cheese, beans, sugar, and so much more. It has been tough, but I am losing a bunch of weight and feeling great. I have my slip ups from time to time but I get right back on the…

It's a friendly thing to actually want to be involved in the health of your friends. It is not a problem that you want to ask her these things. Just show that you are concerned and interested. Just bring it up to her that you have noticed her figure and are curious about it. Once you bring it up and understand, you can get…

I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE KNOWS THIS BUT REAL SUGAR IS BETTER FOR YOU THAN ANYTHING CONCOCTED IN A LAB. Your body recognizes it and can synthesize it easier. I don't do pink packets, yellow packets, blue packets, and I don't even do white packets any more. I'm devoted to my brown packets. Raw sugar all the way. :)

I use about 1/4 cup Silk Vanilla Almond Milk with about one tbsp Raw Sugar. All of that goes into my coffee mug first, then I fill with coffee. My mug holds 2 cups of liquid. All of that is around 45 calories per two cups of coffee. I used to drink about 6 cups a day and I've gone down to one mug/two cups a day. I have had…

I just watched this video. This person is the biggest idiot I've ever heard speak.... ever. I'm scared for her life and the lives of the others that read this and say, "OMG, this is the best idea ever". Unfortunately, this woman is gonna have big issues when she starts getting fat and unhealthy. Her body is gonna hold on…

Don't be fooled by your craving, I guarantee just because you are craving chocolate, a cheeseburger, or cheesecake that it does not mean that your body is needing it. Your body is asking for something, but not that stuff. That is all fat and you do not NEED that. You are technically losing blood, hence, the fatigue. Drink…

Haha, definitely. :) But, I can't eat many things, seeing as how I'm doing Paleo. I try to go to the grocery store and nothing I find is Paleo, unless it's meat or veggies. I sometimes get some real dark chocolate. Other than that, I just take deep breaths. Hahaha.

Being someone who is in the food business herself, I know exactly what kinds of things can go on.... Just because they have laws and regular scheduled visits from inspectors does not mean that they are perfect all the time. Sheesh. I know many people have seen Gordon Ramsey's tv show. It's amazing what these people get…

You are entitled to your opinion. But you don't know every person here, so you shouldn't judge. But thanks for your negativity..... makes me glad that I'm not a drag. :D

Clean eating, to me, because of what I'm practicing now, would not include anything processed. So I couldn't eat this. :( I was hoping this would be a clean recipe good enough for Paleo. I have a question though.... What makes this clean if it has sour cream, Rotini, and cheese??? Just a question. Maybe this is just a…

I'm doing Paleo, which, in my opinion, is very clean eating. :) Add me if you wish. I'm very dedicated, I don't have cheat days or cheat meals or cheat snacks. I'm changing my habits for good. It's been super tough but I have a supportive boyfriend doing this with me.

Hey, been on here for three months now and I've already lost 25 pounds. Of course, I probably have more to lose than you do. I started at 224, I'm 199 right now and it feels great so far. I've just been watching what I eat and exercising. I've recently started doing the Paleo Diet. It is my favorite so far. :) I feel…

It takes more time, money, and energy to put out healthy food. The people who supply food products need to spend more of their money to provide a healthy product than it does to throw together an unhealthy product. Clone beef is cheaper than farm raised beef because they actually put out an effort to make a better product.…

True, but there are also many other factors that contribute to the flavor of wine. Much more important than the alcohol itself. Age of grapes, barrel wood, fruits, herbs, spices, type of grape, location of vineyard, weather. Alcohol is just a tiny part of what makes wine wine. :) I drink it for the flavors and because it…

You mean Welch's Grape Juice :) Haha.

I only eat it with Pineapple. Hahaha. I never liked the stuff until I tried it with fresh pineapple. It's so good :)

I have, but it but different circumstances. I had a surgery on my stomach and I seriously did look like I was pregnant. My sister was offended, but I just played along because they didn't know about anything, and I was never gonna see them again anyway :).

Hahaha. I used to think the same thing. But nowadays you don't know what type of people are around you. I think it is more to protect a child than to control them. It would be nice if you can trust children to stay at your side in the grocery store (if they keep fidgeting in the cart) but realistically they will be…

I do it when I don't have much to eat in the house. Just to get in my protein and not get too much fat. It fill me up with just one cup, and the fill lasts a long time. Or, when I'm in a rush in the morning and I am going to go for my walk, I drink it, sometimes while I walk. Gold Standard Brand for me :) French Vanilla.

Hahaha.... :) Confidence is key!

Wonder twins activate!!! Hahahahahahhahahha.

Maybe do a good hard ab work out ever other day. :) I do Zumba almost ever day. I love the specific ab work out, it's not too intense too kill my abs but it is good enough for everyday. And it's not too long so I always have time for it.

I see a ton of this kind of thing. You need to eat more to lose weight. Eat enough to keep your body burning the calories. The less you eat the more your body holds on to what you do eat. I set my goal at 1260, I exercise a lot and I eat back my calories. I am losing weight very fast. An average of 2.3 pounds a week. Just…

I have fought on both ends of this. I don't have kids but I've been to places with crying babies.... A grocery store or department store I understand because a mom has to do what she needs to do, she shouldn't be held prisoner in her own home just because she has a baby. But if it were in a nice restaurant where the…
