  • Hello from sunshiney Alberta, where spring arrived in February (and winter may or may not arrive in April...or August...) Add me too if you like :)
  • I also have adult-onset asthma and mine is exercise-induced, and I've also found that once the wheezing starts things can get seriously scary extremely quickly. But, I have learned to recognize when it starts - for me, my breathing will become just a bit more difficult and my throat will become a bit inflamed/raw - then I…
  • It depends on what you're buying and what is 'expensive' where you live. If I can get meat for less than $3/meal I'll buy as much of it as I can afford and freeze it. Then buy stuff in bulk like brown rice, canned beans and frozen vegetables. Only buy fresh what you can eat before it spoils. I'd say overall I'm not…
  • Love this, and the OP. Thanks for posting.

  • Potato chips and dip, especially french onion Pizza, especially spinach/feta/sausage Oreo cookies (what, you're not supposed to eat the whole bag? ...yeah they're no longer allowed in the house)
  • I had pretty much the same post yesterday, bc I pretty much had the same problem...trying to stay under an extremely low calorie goal left me tired, irritable and thinking about food constantly. I was advised to not do such a high deficit (lose weight more slowly) and incorporate changes gradually so it's more of a…
  • Really good advice from all, thanks very much, I really appreciate it. I have a lot more to learn here than I thought. I've been eating lean meats, beans, nuts and quinoa for protein, brown rice and the odd slice of bread for grains and kale salads or steamed vegetables for vegg with very little fruit (sugar is one of…
