This is common and usually occurs because it is causing inflammation in your body. This happened to me and I stopped eating it.

Eating too much protein can cause liver and heart problems, as well as weight gain. Every cell and organ in your body needs protein, but taking in too much of it can cause unpleasant symptoms such as nausea and diarrhea. You could also develop more serious problems, as excessive protein leads to a buildup of amino acids,…

Sounds pretty good to me, your plan! Just stay as active as you can at the same time! It sounds like you're doing what's called Clean Eating, and very close to Paleo (only you're including legumes). Keep a variety and emphasis on the veggies! I like your plan.

I definitely agree with many of the replies above. I think it is awesome that you have lost weight! I also think it depends on the person. In general, in order to lose weight, you need your calorie intake to be less than your total daily calories burned.

Women who want to lose weight are often anxious to see it depart from a particular body part, most often the hips, stomach, thighs and facial area. This desire does not always translate into reality, however, because the body loses it first where it wants to lose it first, ignoring your desires. In addition, spot reduction…

Zucchini and squash come to mind! I like them roasted with crushed red pepper and a little Himalayan salt and pepper.

I think cutting them out is important and gives you more control over the things you eat, the energy you gain, and the weight you lose. They contain no nutritional value and only harm us, including sugar itself. I only use honey and grade B maple syrup, as well as Coconut Sugar, but all very sparingly. Too many people…

karachromatic haven't used it yet though

Yes now that is gross for real, ha.

Plain! :)

And an Oreo cookie only has 13 grams of sugar. But Oreos are far more compelling to eat than dates. Why? [/quote] Probably because you prefer the taste of an Oreo over a date, as well as the texture, appearance... it's all in how you think about it. For me, I had to train my brain that dates have far more nutrients than…

I agree, 100% possible to have sugar addictions. Most dieticians or nutritionists will tell you that as well. I did eliminate ALL sugar from my diet, including ketchup, for example. It's possible, and not as hard as it sounds, if you find the steps that work for you. But good point, sugar is hidden in a lot of foods. Some…

Dates have natural sugar, as do all fruits. That doesn't mean don't ever eat fruit or dates. They do not have refined sugar. Dates are extremely good for you. I would eat them along with honey and fruit every now and then, not because I was craving sugar, but to balance my meals throughout the day with benefits from a…

I can totally relate, as I am sure many of us can, really. I don't eat it anymore. Maybe once or twice a month. What I did... i went to Splenda, then to Stevia AND Splenda, then mostly Stevia... and focusing on honey and fruit instead, more often than not. I never focused on sugar alone. I made a LOT of dietary changes.…

Main sources that I can think of right off: - Lean Grass Fed Beef - Avocados - Nitrate/Nitrite Free Bacon - Coconut oil - Coconut cream - Olive oil - Nuts & seeds - Tuna

Metformin helped me initially cut the major carb cravings. 2000mg ER version. I'm now years later on 1500mg and hoping to come off soon due to major progress with this beast, PCOS. I eat a small meal to avoid nausea. The ER version kept me from being especially nauseated, and I recommend the ER version to anyone that has…

Cinnamon can help with insulin sensitivity. This is the best info I've ever found to describe it: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/health-benefits-cinnamon/#axzz2c3qiliMn

These are horrible for you. Buy something like egg white protein and add frozen bananas and whatever you like. Try not to look for quick fixes like Slim Fast because they're loaded with ingredients that are bad for you. Slim Fast has a lot of sugar and processed ingredients, and if you're into the GMO friendly products…

This was totally me! I stopped eating sugar, dairy, grains, and processed foods. Eat a lot of fruits and veggies, and watch your salt intake. Drink a lot of water! Keep up with the probiotics. Start eliminating things slowly and you'll find the culprit.

Try this: Makes 24 pieces / Hands-On Time: 20 minutes / Total Time: 40 minutes Ingredients: 24 ounces (about 24 medium-sized) cremini mushrooms 2 tablespoons melted Ghee or fat of choice 8 ounces fresh or frozen shrimp ¼ cup scallions (about 2 scallions), roughly chopped ¼ cup packed cilantro 2 bacon slices, diced (about ⅓…

My Endocrinologist (one of the top in the country, works at Duke University Hospital, one of the top hospitals in the world) wants me off Metformin and does not think I need it (of course it varies for everyone and why you do or don't). I've reversed my pre-diabetes and I eat super healthy. I don't even eat sugar. I…

I personally think gluten is not healthy for anyone. I stopped eating it completely. I don't think it's necessarily more common among those with PCOS. This coming from my own experiences, research, and meeting MANY many people with gluten intolerance/sensitivities or even Celiac... and they do not have PCOS. I just feel…

Primal doesn't "ok" all of the saturated fats strict Paleoers consume. Primal also takes on a more holistic approach, well beyond food, where as Paleo has a main focus on the way they eat. Many that follow Primal are okay with full fat pastured dairy products. Most doing the Paleo thing don't eat any dairy, as it…

This was 2 years ago. Updates anyone?

Here is another blog with her detox juice: http://dessertdarling.com/2011/06/jillian-michaels-anti-bloat-juice-i-think-it-works/ Do I think it is expensive? No. Is it healthy? 100% and it is also natural Do I think stevia is bad? No, I don't. It is natural from a plant, and I am pre-diabetic, and it does not affect my…

Some of her products are actually worth what you pay. Of course she is going to want to profit somehow. Wouldn't you? But not everything she markets is a waste of money. If you Google it, or see my post in this thread, there are ways to make the detox drink cheaper yourself in the long run. As an example with this product-…

This is all it is: http://www.ehow.com/how_4663459_jillian-michaels-detox-water.html Very good for you. Lots of water with added nutrients! 100% all natural, and if you can do it organic- even better.

I used to be 185 lbs and now I am 158. I JUST started consistently working out. And although my job is physical and not just sitting in an office, I can say I lost most of my weight by educating myself in terms of food, and the vitamins and nutrients they do or do not provide. One of the first things I did was replace my…

Most things in large quantities aren't good for you- even fruits and vegetables. Here is some good information: Stevia and chemicals contained in stevia, including stevioside and rebaudioside A, are LIKELY SAFE when used as a sweetener in foods. Rebaudioside A has generally recognized as safe (GRAS) status in the U.S. for…

In my opinion, and from the most trusted sources, the body should cleanse itself naturally. Eat organic fruits and vegetables and drink a ton of water.
