  • I thought I was the only one!!! I'm med free too (aside from birth control)
  • Mine should be open... I'm about 10 days into a 30 day clean eating detox, but I've been down the clean eating road before..I have over 100 pounds to lose too. When the 30 days are up, I'll aim for 80-90% clean. Note: I have a 7 month old, so frequently don't get as much time as I would like to eat regularly.
  • Yep! Don't track sugar... Unless, you know you're drinking 6 sodas a day and eating a tub of ice cream... If you're eating whole foods, ignore it.
  • Clean eating for me (there are a bunch of ways of looking at it, but Im pretty sure I'm in the norm) is chemical-free/preservative-free foods, hormone-free/antibiotic-free meats, nothing that causes allergies/problems in myself (dairy and soy), less processed, whole food way of eating... I don't think it's reasonable to do…
  • Haha. Some clean eaters are vegan, I'm not... ENT allergy to dairy, and hormone issues aggravated by soy :(
  • Nope! I weighed less during pregnancy (I lost about 30+ pounds in the first trimester)... Combination of my body storing nutrients, etc to make milk (so I was told), and my hormones/thyroid being what they should be while I was preggo - then returning back to their usual! Add onto it lack of sleep, etc. It stinks.
  • I did it years ago and had great results - lost weight, felt better, and had more energy - before the doctor said I probably had PCOS. I can't remember exactly how much weight I lost. It's so much easier to follow it than measuring every single food's glycemic index or load, than counting carbs, or (eek!) going carb free.…
  • If you have no issues with cholesterol, you can safely eat about 2 eggs a day (or a dozen a week), and quite possibly more if the rest of your diet is healthy... If you want more there is always the option of having 1 or 2 eggs and mixing in whites for extra protein.
