  • I was told they are used as a snack. I generally eat them as a meal replacement (since I eat 6 small meals a day), as they are 200 calories. I have it about 45 to 60 mins before a WOD and find I have incredible energy! I have them on auto order from Amazon, though they are cheaper if you order them from the website. the…

  • I am really sorry to hear that. I went through something really similar last year. I took a job that was and emotional it was a leap of faith for me. it turned out the director just didn't like me, so they forced me to quit. I ended up getting another job 6 months later. As far as healing from the emotional trauma of being…
  • 5 x 5 is 165 lbs!
  • I've become somewhat of a lightweight, so I stick to one glass of wine (3oz) and sparkling water for the remainder of the evening. No one notices!
  • My grandmother used to make me sit at the table until I finished all my food. I would sit there for over an hour while I waited for my dad to come and finish my food for me (it was his mother and for whatever reason he never told her that she was giving me too much food.) When I was a teenager she would say I was starving…
  • In the winter, I take special effort to do the 5am workouts and go snowboarding at least 2 times a month for 3 hours to make sure i get SOME sun (ive typically been blessed to have good weather despite all the ice). I do everything you stated, except I have a light that I shine on my face in the morning when I get up (for…
  • I went to see a counselor who specialized in eating disorders for almost 2 years, until I finally was able to exert some self control and truly understand what I was doing. I haven't binged in a year (since i've stopped counseling.) Have you considered counseling? A doctor will just tell you to eat less and maybe send you…
  • I doubt it! Make sure to drink plenty of water after friendsgiving and exercise the day of and the next day! have fun!
  • The almased diet -- you drink 3 almased shakes for 7 days and then you drink 2 a day and have a "sensible meal" for dinner. The maintenance diet consists of drinking one smoothie in the morning and eating 2 meals. I didn’t do the diet for more than one day because I tried one of the shakes and thought I was going to throw…
  • I'm actually stuck on your claim that leaky gut syndrom isn't a scientifically proven diagnosis....Can you provide citations to back this up (from NIH, PubMed, Mayo clinic)? I've read numerous clinical studies about Chron's Disease that would say that leaky gut is a very real thing, at least, when it applies to autoimmune…
  • I've been using the shampoo, conditioner and soap by a company called "shea moisture." the face wash ive been using is called ilike. I have worn make up 3 times in my entire life. I just never learned how to put it on...im 29! The natural products (DIY) is a great idea! I made my own deodorant. search on pinterest for…
  • They are still bruised. someone may edit their pictures to wisk away the bruising. in fact, I saw a pic of camille and she had a HUGE bruise on her leg. in another version of the same picture it was gone! Damn photoshop.... as far the location of the bruising you described, you are clearly letting the barbell slam on your…
  • Wow! some people are pretty rude.... The best way I can describe breadfruit is its kind of like green plaintain and less of a fruit. It's a savory item that you [generally] boil and mash and can eat it with other forms of protien. it also has a moderate glycemic load, as compared to other foods.…
  • I think it would be....I haven't eaten it in a while (I don't even know where I can find it here), but I used to eat it often when we lived in PR. Very good when mixed with plantains to make Mofongo!
  • I would wear a heart rate monitor to measure how many calories you're burning. I've read that most people burn between 9 - 12.9 calories per min while doing a HIIT workout. The people who burned 12.9 were close to their max heart rate.
  • 2012 Golf TDI, 2 Door. Yay diesel cars! :-D
  • I would adjust what you are eating to make sure you're still eating at a deficit. 80% of weight loss is eating well.
  • My husband has pretty severe CD. We got a vitamix and, even during a flare, he can drink smoothies. it really purees everything (if you run it for 45 seconds or longer.) He usually drinks fruit smoothies in the AM (berries, bananas, etc.) The fruit smoothies are quite dense (especially when almond butter and bananas are…
  • OP, I started off at 235 and was stuck at 215 for a few months. I've lost A LOT of fat and inches. While I did set up an appt to get bloodwork and have my thyroid checked out, last month I cut my calories to 1500 from 1800 - 2100 and added a lot more cardio (not only hiit, but power walking, running, elliptical, and…
  • I still have a significant amount of weight to lose, but I can tell you some of the changes I have expeirneced since eating well and working out: 1) I'm approx. 20 pounds heavier than when I got married, but my wedding dress literally falls off. it was a 20W and I recently purchased a dress by the same designer at a 14W.…
  • Title 9 bras are a little more pricey, but the "last resort bra", which is HIDEOUS, holds my boobs down like you wouldn't believe. Its the best bra ive ever used, hands down!
  • check out this website for more cookie recipes! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/09/03/paleo-cookies_n_5749924.html?ncid=txtlnkusaolp00000592 the chocolate chip bacon ones were delicious!
  • This may be overkill, but they have us wear weight belts once the lift exceeds 110 pounds. When my snatch was at 93 pounds, my coach spoke to me about a weight belt. I think it makes a difference! The people who lift super heavy weights seem to always have their weight belts on!
  • I did a quick search on pubmed to see if I could find a study that would prove that carbs are not bad. I found a few sources (most of which were not free). I did find a letter in reply to a study that was conducted a few months earlier: http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/75/5/951.2.long What I took away from it was: 1)…
  • Stick to it!! give it about 2 weeks. Stay hydrated, make sure to eat plenty of fruits and veggies and get PLENTY of rest! when I changed my diet drastically, my skin was so oily I also washed my face about 10 times a day. it was disgusting. I cut out processed sugar, but I ate some fruit and starchy vegetables (sweet…
  • "You can lift HOW MUCH?"
  • I eat meat, but I appriciate all types of food. The best cookbooks I have are the raw vegan cookbooks. You can cook the food (lightly steaming it or boiling it) but the flavor combinations are, hands down, the best. I generally tend to add meat or eggs. my fav books are: raw food real world (kind of labor intensive, but…
  • Are you able to see a counselor? they can help you with coping strategies whenever you're feeling sad. Eating will only make you feel better for a short while but then you'll feel even worse if you gain weight. Maybe try running, biking, hiking, volunteering, or engaging in a hobby. Do you have any friends to turn to? If…
  • also if you have a friend who has a bulk market membership, they can take you into the store and let you use their membership. I do that ALL THE TIME!
