Thanks for your "little Debbie snack cake..... but I'm looking for people that follow it, not people with negative opinions. :flowerforyou:

The book did not suggest going "cold turkey", so for the last week I've been easing into it. Today is the first day that I'm following it strictly, and I will say it's tough, but at the same time, I feel really good. Out of habit, I want to eat every 2-2.5 hours (what I previously did, as snacks), but this plan suggests…

It is very interesting... and a lot of it made sense for me. For years I've been attending bootcamp and eating a high protein (animal protein, like meat) diet. This works for so many of my friends, but for me..... I gained 20lbs. Turns out I'm an adrenal type..... lifting weights and animal protein overstimulate my adrenal…

Tameko2, Thanks for your opinion, but I'm really looking for people who are practicing this nutrition plan/lifestyle.... not naysayers. Obviously, you've found something for you that works, as you said, we're all different. I think this could be the something for me that works. I'm looking for like minded people. Good luck…

I purchased a book by Dr. Abranavel, and I've found some research online, but none that seemed as comprehensive as Dr. A's. I downloaded it on my kindle for $13. I recommend the book, it was an easy read.

I'm joining in! I have 6lbs I'd like to lose. I am 5'4 and currently weigh 141lbs, I'd like to end September at 135lbs. I plan to do at least 30 min of Physique 57 4x per week and cardio 30min 4x per week. I also plan to continue my "real food" diet (no heavily processed foods). I have 2 mini-goals for the month: Sept 7th:…

I would eat ramen every day if I could. My mom said that's all my brother and I ever wanted to eat as kids... and she let us. I stopped eating it regularly after college, but when I'm sick I still eat it. I like it without broth, I boil the noodles, add the broth, then drain all the water. Now I'm craving them, I knew I…

Timing is everything. My husband and I met through our Best Friends. We'd often been in the same social circles and places at the same time, but never met or got to know each other. When our BFF's got engaged we were the Best Man and Maid of honor. Planning travel to their wedding we had our first conversation and…

Eating clean for me is staying away from heavily processed foods and especially foods with synthetic ingredients (chemicals). I buy local, fresh and organic foods as much as possible. I make sure things like cheese, pasta, soups have no more than 5 ingredients and that none of those ingredients is anything other than a…

Once per week. If I did it daily I would drive myself crazy... i think it's like waiting for water to boil, if you watch it, it seems like it takes forever. : ) Good luck.

Are you still doing this program? I just purchased the dvd's and did my first workout (30 min full body), soooo sore. What have your results been?

Agreed, I'd eat a lot more crap but have a lot less money. :smile: I tried shopping at Henry's and Whole foods and really hated what it did to my budget.

I made homemade pizza's last night for dinner, my husband loves them. They are only 320 cals and that's with pepperoni. Here's the recipe if your'e interested: 1 Whole Wheat Pita (trader joes) 1 tbs Tomato Paste (organic) 1 tsp Italian Seasoning 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella (trader joes) 5 pieces of pepperoni (volpi) 4…

You're not alone. I just had this rude awakening this week. I tried on 5 different outifts today, not to wear something that looked good, but to wear something that fits. It seems like this has happened so quickly, but in reality I know it's bad habits over the years that have gotten me here. I've started a real food diet…
