sounds good

agreed...I personally don't do a diet like this but I DO keep in tune with my body. If I go over a certain # of carb grams in a meal I know I'll be hungry quicker. Other non-pill strategies to help with hunger is coffee and/or sipping on hot tea the whole day. The tea especially helps me a bunch. I drink Yerba Mate tea.…

Again, it has nothing to do with the medical diagnosis of the person. It's about what works for the individual person and NO ONE can tell them what works and doesn't work unless they test and try it on themselves and figure out how they feel. If I had not been that in tune with my body I would still be stuck banging my…

Eating sugar or not has nothing to do solely with diabetes or what not. You could be perfectly healthy and still tolerate carbs/sugar to a certain degree and not be a diabetic. Carbs/sugar have to do with how it makes you feel. After eating them, are you hungry after 2 hours? You shouldn't be and you shouldn't also be…

It can be VERY frustrating to see others around you lose weight normally doing their thing while you are doing everything right as well yet get very little to no results. I've been there done that and honestly not many people understand the frustration that comes with this. Everyone thinks you're either eating too much…

Did you use butter as well? For some reason I'm suspecting that if your body is not used to using fat for energy it is going to "ask" by hunger pangs to eat. I don't know if that's true. I'm just throwing ideas around. This morning I tried the bulletproff but this time I added heavy cream and skipped the chocolate. It…

I tried cauliflower rice tonight. I follows a recipe by Elanas kitchen adding celery and onion to the "rice". It was delish and faster to make than real rice. I loved it so now I'm looking for more recipes with cauliflower. Why substitute it for rice? Well for one thing it is so much lower in calories. What's not to love.

I personally recently decided to go gluten free. I started around June 12. Since then my weight loss has been consistently heading downwards whereas before this I was pretty much stuck in my mid 150s and over time I was actually gaining weight. I'm now at 149. I've lost about 1 lb a week. I have not been low carb. I was…

Hello! Well after reading about this bullet proof coffee drink I decided to try it. I went after work to get my kerry gold at trader joes. I decided to make myself a drink and see how it goes for dinner. I'm still sipping it down. Honestly it is not the greatest in taste but that may be because I'm not use to such a "rich"…

If you find a good way to make it please share.

If you are trying to do a high fat diet the fat is unlimited. I looked into Kat's diet a while ago but it was hard for me to follow because I just wasn't sure what to eat and what not to eat. She really doesn't lay out completely straight. What I am learning is that by getting a glucose meter you can see what feeds spike…

Oh...I also used to wake up to tingling hands and/or feet. I thought it might have been related to thyroid too but I'm no longer feeling that tingling since I changed my diet. I'll continue to monitor and see if it comes back. Is this a normal symptom with gluten sensitivity?

what changes did you notice?

I don't see how it could be insulin resistance since I am eating carbs. As a matter of fact, I am eating similarly the same amount of carbs as before when I wasn't losing weight. Again, the only change I did was eliminate gluten while still continuing to count points. Your point is valid. I think it did cross my mind a…

You're Welcome! I'm glad it helps :)

I love mine! Had it since 2006 and haven't had to replace it yet. It is strong.

This doesn't have to be complicated. Weight Watchers is a company that makes money off people who attend meetings and use their tools. Why isn't anyone bashing Weight Watchers. They ARE making money from customers too. It isn't any different with Beachbody except the business model is made up differently. WIth Beachbody…

That's great to hear Brianna! I have a friend who is also doing old Points and she's done so well. She lost a great amount of weight last year. We can do this! :)

Well to me this question depends on what weight watchers program you are talking about. Points Plus is great for those with a higher metabolism. Taller folks, skinnier people, less to lose crowds tend to have more difficulty losing weight on points plus but Momentum points still works for those in these situations. Either…

You are? I'm doing old points too. I started back this week. It's been crazy the last few months. A lot of changes in my life but anyhow I decided to go back to old points because I saw pictures of a friend that has been doing the old points since last year and she's lost a ton of weight. She looks great so I got inspired…

I usually just write on the notes section how many earned AP. There is also apps for smartphones where you can enter total daily points so that it keeps track of your weekly.

I don't have any experience with that but I take extra vitamin D3 which is highly important for thyroid issues. I also take care of my liver by adding 1 milk thistle capsule a day.

There's a quicker way to cook Spaghetti squash. Just pierce the squash with a knife about 8 times all around. You place the squash in a bowl and microwave 5 minutes, turn and microwave 5 minutes more. You then careful take it out of the oven and split open to remove the "strands" with a fork. I love this stuff with grilled…

Well I've been on a down spiral. I'm slowly getting back up from it now. Too much has been going so my focus was minimal.

Cilantro is not that bad. The trick is to use just enough not overdo itand chop it up very small. In ground beef with chopped onion and red bell pepper it is the most delicious thing ever. Perhaps the use of Cilantro does not match with the salad you were eating. I know a good salad with cilantro is tomato, lettuce, salt…

I'm 5' 1/2". I want to be 115 so I can fluctuate up and down 115-120 during my maintenance phase.

I'm 5 ft tall as well. I'm an ex weight watchers. Well...sorta. I still look at points but I look at OLD points (their old points plan system) in addition to calories. I think their old points system worked much better. I went back to that for a while but it can get tiring because there doesn't seem to be a lot of people…

Thank you! Would anyone else like to the ab challenge? This seems fairly easy because it is what I call a "quickie" workout. I can do these sets on my break.

I'm going to try it out. Congrats on your success! :)

That's about my average I sometimes go lower than 1200 and some days higher than 1200 but around 1200 is my weekly average calorie goal.
