Big Bliever. I have Omega 3 Fish Oil in capsuls as well as in liquid form and I take both every day. I take 2000mg's in the AM with breakfast, and then 1000mg's at every meal :) (usually 1 capsul = 1000mg's). Love them. My hair is shiney, healthy, skin is glowing as always. But this comes from a Family that is in USANA (if…

weeeee!! very very exciting!! KEEP IT UP!!! EEEEKKKEEKEKE! :D

I used to work at A&W as a supervisor (FREE FOOD UGH!) I was there for 5 years and in canada we have the Grilled Chicken Delux (not sure if the USA has it, pardon me if you do :)). So I'd throw some lettuce on a plate, cut up two breast of chicken and get some dressing. Cut up tomatoes and cucumbers and red onions. :D…

I second Bluedieseal. If you want to loose weight calories burned should be larger than calories eaten.. you should always be in a defecit.

careful with some soy proteins, there's hidden additives. :) Make sure you get a good protein; it needs to have low fat (less than 2g's per serving) and low carbs (less than 3g's per carbs). I use Isoflex by Allmax from Popeye's supplements. They have amazing flavours, I'm currently having Chocolate Mint, and last one was…

www.trueprotein.com (not selling) gives you the option of actually creating your own protein mix. you get to add stevia or have everything unsweetend.. it's kind of a neat feature.. and only around $10/ pound :) WONDERFUL

I'm gonig to have to go with Allmax Isoflex :) BEST mixing protein I have EVER had!

totally binged after I saw how I was under my cals.. it's almost like a trigger if I don't log my food early in the mornin and see all my meals for the day.

If you drasticly cut you calories then this could be a reason.. your body is not used to an "ALL OF A SUDDEN OMG WE'RE GOING TO DIE" kind of change.. I would take your body weight, x15 (so for example I weigh 168lbs and this would be 2520.) then this number -500 as a first time diet deficet. Make sure you encorporate…

mmm true protein is amazing! :)

let alone a bank account.. ugh last time i binged... umm tuesday gr.. spend $150 on food.. and ate it all in one sitting.. i was thinking of going back and plugging in the calories and seeing exactaly what i had eaten.

samesies :) I am a recovered (well I don't think you can ever be fully recovered) anorexic. I still obsess about food to the point that I feel like it's still controling me... now it's making sure I'm eating enough.. so yeah.. I go on binges all the time still... it's hard.. have to hold your head up and just press through…

I'd go chicken sandwhich grilled throw away the bun (or even the snack wraps two of them and throw away the wraps..) apples no caramel dip. diet coke :) done and done. I've done this.

I used to be a size 00... I would love to get back to that.. currently I'm a 6 - 10 depending on brands.

hehe very true :p

this is pretty self explanitory.. and should be on a normal diet.. lower carbs.. caused your body to use fat stores as food=fat burning sugar on a daily diet shouldn't be more than 40g which is at maintinance.. most dieticians will say that 20g's is a high #. :) Just a thought.

Start (10/18/10): 174lbd 10/29/10: 172lbs (-2) 11/1/10: 171lbs (-1) Halloween weekend sucked for me.. hopefully next weigh in will be better. ugh Nov. 8th I will be down 5lbs ! I will do it!

I second this; poster above you ^ states to get low fat. But if your purchasing low fat yogurt, then your going to have a ton more sugar in there then FULL FAT yogurt. Fat is not the enemy. If you want to keep loosing weight; keep carbs closer to 30g's per day (based on a 5'6" 145lb woman) and then go for low fat (which…

I think she's meaning, that people are commenting maybe... As in "wow you've gotten thinner" or something, it does get rather annoying when EVERYONE notices all at once, and asks what you've done, or says something along the lines of "you are too thin" It can make people frustrated... Just a thought :) :flowerforyou: if…

um. it all really depends on the person... depending on what exactly you want... it's not healthy to loose the muscle in your body, if that's what your asking, as for every pound of muscle that you have your body burns 50 calories just at rest. You want to make sure that your protein intake (in grams) is equal to the…

I LOVE BUTTER :) and BACON! SATURDAY AND SUNDAY I AM USING BOTH IN MY BREAKY :p I LOVE KETO for this exact reason. I don't have to worry one bit about the Fat's that I'm consuming. I use full fat salad dressing, and full fat butters, full fat cream cheese.. mmm

Normally I'd stick with 40/40/20... 40%carbs, 40% protein and 20%fats.. that's in a normal diet... and I agree with Amarillo_NDN ; everyone is different.. if you want to gain some muscle your protein should be 1.0g's - 1.5g's to every pound of lean body mass that you have. This will help to preserve muscle. some are low…

thanks darling :)

umm... lets see... every morning when I wake up, with minimal clothing on... after I pee... and then sometimes before I go to bed... and then in the middle of the night after I pee...lol.. i like to see the difference or how much I can loose in water from the middle of the night till morning lol :$ totally an addict. AND I…

planning foods is the way to go. I have all my meals prepared the sunday prior to the week. cooked, weighed and portioned out in my fridge so that in the morning, I just grab the containers for the day, thrown them in my lunchbox with an icepack. and BOOM! out the door in 10 minutes :P

DAY 2 OF KETO WEIGHT: 167.5 (-0.6) Feeling good today :) Regardless of the comments, it won't hinder what my doctor and I are trying to achieve. I am very content with no carbs, and honestly I could care less if they are there. No heartburn or indegestion... But. Just letting you know that I will keep updating this as a…

I love my Lululemon bras. I horseback ride, so I'm usually in a motion.. and they are AMAZING! If you even find out where your local "Horse Supply Store" is (also known as a Tack Store) they usually sell bra's for horseback riding that are SUPER supportive. But I find the ones from Lululemon are stretchy and of AMAZING…

I LOVE how everyone read the first post and then nothing in between... read I've responded to why I'm doing this.. or I'm gonna have to edit the first post and then maybe people won't be so harsh. Thanks to those that are supportive. I will say it one more time; I AM HYPOTHYROID, MY DOCTOR AND I ARE WORKING TOGETHER ON…

thx guys.. and the atkins diet came from the keto diet. I will never "Purchase" atkins food. and carbs are staying less than 5% of my daily intake. no I'm not epiliptic, and I took 4 years of nutrition so I'm well aware of the "balance" I'm being monitored by doctors as we are trying to figure out the best way for my body…

I agree with the Low Fat/No Fat stuff. People have come to the thought that "If i just buy Fat Free or Low Fat its way better for me" In which yes and no. To preserve the food the PACK it full of sodium... Fresh is Best :) I prepare a week's weeks worth of food on Sunday night, and then every night I portion it out so that…
