Does anyone know of a good low glycemic index cook book? I'm looking on Amazon.com and I've found several with great reviews, but I'd like to know if any of you have any and have found them helpful as well? I'd like to be able to scan through them before I purchase them so I may stop by my local Barnes & Noble to check…

Congrats & happy belated birthday!! I hope it was grand! =]

I also agree. Are you barely eating anything as well or just eating salads? If you're barely eating anything, you may lose weight, but as soon as you start eating healthy again and stop using that program, you will gain it all back if not more... You should set up realistic goals like maybe 8 or 10 lbs a month? Like…

I agree. Maybe try eating a little more throughout the day like only eat the amount of calories you think you'll be burning off later. Example, my daily goal is 1200, so I would try to eat 1500 and then burn off the 300 late at night, that way you'll break even. If I eat before I go to bed, then I wake up starving and it…

I always wondered the same thing!! I love SK's Slim N Trim Chocolate!! I stopped getting it because it's too expensive for me. It's about $6 a smoothie and I only get them when I get those breakfast coupons for $1.99 before 10 AM from Smoothie King. I now just use Equate Weight Loss shakes as my meal replacement. I just…

I totally agree with you. Cow's milk is produced by cows that were pregnant and need to feed their calves, same thing with women after they have babies. They both produce milk to feed their young. That's why they produce milk in the first place. I don't see women selling their breast milk to make profits off of other…

I found a lot of information about dairy products. None of this is my wording, but I believe most of it to be true as I've done other "investigation" over the past year and a half on why dairy isn't good. With that being said, I LOVE cheese! I think I'm obsessed. lol My dad used to call me his little rat because I ate…

That's why I gave up cow's milk over a year ago. I learned about how bad it is for humans & just because it has a lot of calcium, that doesn't mean it's healthy. Plus, animal protein is different than plant protein. Plant protein is healthier & easier for our bodies to digest. At least that's what I've read in nutrition…

Also, it doesn't have the same texture of regular ice cream, too. Once it's defrosted a bit, the shape gets weird...

What about soy ice cream? I've tried vanilla flavored and it tastes pretty good. Sweeter than regular ice cream, but 1/4 of the fat or none at all. I believe it was called Soy Delicious or something like that...

I agree with bringing fruit like bananas, apples, grapes & oranges! You could also bring some PB to spread on the bananas or apples. If you don't want that, you could just buy some snack bars(granola) from the grocery store that's packed with protein?

THANK YOU!!!! I really appreciate that. =D

I have a question about deodorant/anti-perspirant. Does anyone here sweat a lot? Like you could be just sitting and sweat weather it was hot or cold?? I've tried the Secret Clinical Protection stuff that you're supposed to apply every night for a certain period of time & it's supposed to shrink your sweat pores or whatever…

Thanks! I'm not trying to build muscle. I just wanted to know if I continue to do that, would I. I wonder if just running would slim my entire legs or just my calf areas? About 2 1/2 years ago during the summer time, I would run every day while being out of school. I lost about 10-15 lbs doing that within a month and a…

You can't expect to lose weight by just eating properly. You have to exercise, too. The 2 lbs you lost was most likely water weight... Unless you starve yourself, that is the only way you'll lose 26 lbs and I don't recommend you to not eat. You must eat right plus exercise! =]

If I were to just run 5 days a week without using any weights, do you know if I'd gain muscle in my legs or if it would just slim down? That being my entire legs. Thanks!

I always have trouble with fast food. It's just so much easier to stop by & order to go than to go home and start cooking when you're starving. I need to bring snacks to work to hold me over! It'll save me a ton of money, too.
