  • OsteoArthritis will cause this exact pain. It builds up at the base of the toe, and shows up on an xray as a big white blob right where the toe joins the foot and slightly below. I know because I have it in my right foot. Relief is typical pain relievers for me, and shoes that don't rub that area. According to my…

  • First off, I agree with taking your antibiotics if your culture was positive. Another option to help keep urinary tract healthy is below. THIS IS NOT A CURE - This is from a naturopath my mother uses - and she used to have chronic UTI before she started the cranberry supplements, and adds this in every once and a while. If…

  • Very low cal shuts down your metabolism. Even 1200-1300 calories for more than 5-6 days will have an impact. Best method is cycle - 1400-1600 every other day with the 1200 on the opposite days. You can have "extra" on the high calorie days and your body won't get used to a low calorie input and shut down.

  • Try the Whey Protein Shakes from Biggest Loser show. You can buy at GNC or Vitacost.com and they are very well balanced. The chocolate has 6g of fiber per scoop, but they don't taste gritty at all. I do 4 ounces of 1% milk, 4% of water, and 2-3 ice cubes for a great slushy chocolate shake. At only 50 calories per scoop you…
