Just buy some SPANX and squeeze your bod into them. You'll look like you lost weight.

Was that a unicorn? ... well bye-bye glitter p**p

I've tried everything mentioned in this thread and MY WEIGHT LOSS HAS PLATEAUED ... only lost 6 pounds since yesterday! :sad: Man I love this thread ... the only thing missing is the paleo discussion! If I see another thread on it today I think I will :sick:

http://janeshealthykitchen.com/just-like-sugar-natural-chicory-root-sweetener/#.UIGFwml27sc I have some Benefibre which in Canada is Inulin from Chicory. I find it thicks and sweetens things, so I googled chicory root and found the above link. Haven't tried it but it might be a good sugar substitute.

That has also been one of the best changes for me and my husband. He would have terrible hypoglycemic attacks and always carried an energy bar just in case. Now he can also go hours and has not had any attacks. In addition we have found that our arthritis and other body pains have pretty much disappeared. For us, we had…

Any type of pear will have me on the ground in a fetal position from pain. If I eat an apple every day or have too many raspberries on a daily basis, by about day 5 I start to get diarrhea. I can eat watermelon and cantaloupe but honeydew will give me an upset stomach. All other fruits are fine with me unless they are…

New Scam today is Raspberry Ultra, so don't be surprised if it shows up on your friends facebook page. By now with all these scam posts my friend must weigh 0!

Was it African Mango? If so, that post was not real. Several of my Facebook friends have had that post show up on their page and then they comment that they did not post it. No pill can do that - I researched it also and people who were foolish enough to buy it (cause Dr Oz said it was good) were disappointed. You have…

that's why I was going to use almond butter instead.

I didn't believe these so I looked it up. Wow they really exist .... but I really don't want to eat fake food even if it is zero calories.

Both my mother and friend have had knee replacements. They both spent several days in the hospital and were able to stand and walk right after recovery. The hospital had them doing stairs before they came home. The pain from the "knee" is gone right away and its just the surgery pain he will have. Can't remember how long…

Here's a recipe that stevia canada just posted on Facebook. Looks Primal friendly to me. I have yet to try it, but I think I will. I'll likely use Almond butter instead of the peanuts though. 1 stick butter 1oz unsweetened chocolate 1/2 tsp Stevia Max powder 1 TBSP heavy cream 4 TBSP peanut butter chopped walnuts…

and here is the celestial seasonings version - I know there are more ingredients than hibiscus but still don't understand why its zero http://www.celestialseasonings.com/products/herbal-teas/wild-berry-zinger

Nope, I walk a lot often do 2 9k walks a week with several other shorter ones on the other days. My butt was as flat as a pancake until I started doing squats, not weight bearing, just simple squats 3 sets of 10 - that's all my knee can handle. I'm now starting to see a rounder butt.

My doctor weighs us every time we visit, sometimes its once a month, other times once every three but I would never rely on just that for monitoring my weight - way to easy to go off course. Plus my doctor - while he likes that we are walking a lot - believes its calories in that determine weight. For a lot of people you…

See a doctor and/or physiotherapist. If your knee is dislocating then any other advice given here on the forums would border on irresponsible.

I drink a lot of celestial seasonings tea and hibiscus is one of the ingredients in their tea bags, but according to their website all the ones I drink have 0 calories and 0 carbs. I don't think they can show that if its not true, so I don't understand the 12 carbs per cup.

There are many different types of knee problems, so its hard to give advice on exercises without knowing what your problems are. - arthritis? - poor tracking kneecap? - meniscus tear? - knock kneed? - etc. etc.

I would go and talk to the school. Use peanuts as an analogy and ask would they give peanuts out as a snack knowing that there might be someone with a deathly allergy to it? Sometime just giving them a shock like that might remind them of their culpability and liabilities when they provide snacks without parental consent.

Cover your bedroom windows in tin foil or bristol board. Make sure you use something like black duct tape to seal the foil to the window frame. You will need to have the room really dark to sleep. Also use ear plugs to make the daytime noises outside your house/apartment quieter. Find out if you do best trying to go to…

What I understand from others who do 80/20 paleo is that on high carb days you should go low fat. I don't think its a good idea to be feeding him high-fats with high carbs. My understanding is (and its not based on science just what I've read in the forums and web re paleo) is that grains + high-fat = health problems.

Can you swim? When my knee is acting up I do front crawl, but cross my legs at the ankle and don't use them. All my movement comes from my arms and believe you me that can be quite a work out just to keep me from sinking.

When I read that I didn't think carbs, I thought salt. Not really sure what you consider tasty. You might not find some of the given alternatives very palatable if its the salt you are craving. What other "flavours" appeal to you? Spicy, garlicky, lemony, fruity, ...? Keep cut up veggies in the fridge and use a low-carb…

I don't see anything in that diet that will give you your RDA of vitamins and minerals. Limit your processed foods. Eat clean, whole foods (proteins from meats, fish, eggs and nuts/seeds) and eat a rainbow (more veggies and fruit).

Just make sure that what is "convenient" is healthy. Don't have junk in the house. Prepare things on Saturday that you can eat on Sunday. Keep cut veggies, cheese, fruit, nuts, yogurt and other "clean" foods in the fridge.

http://www.fourmilab.ch/hackdiet/e4/signalnoise.html An excellent write up on weight fluctuations. A lot of math, but remember you shove about 13 pounds of food and water into your body on a daily basis, and your system does not eliminate the same amount daily. Sometimes a little, sometimes a lot so your body even when you…

Okay, this is only a guess based on what I have read on the forums. As you lose fat your cells fill with water for a period of time before the flush. Some call it the swoosh. What you may have had was the release of the water from those shrunken fat cells, so its all good. Its not uncommon to have slow loss followed by a…

Anyone else out there with some advice on how to keep going?
