  • Im currently trying RF out...
  • Hey! I've tried fat burners over the years and some work and some don't. I like these supplements and use them occasionally. I also take a pre workout, designed specifically for women, a few times a week but not everyday as I find the product somewhat dehydrating. Anyway, I wanted to ask you, what fat burner do you use??…
  • AWESOME work! I'm happy for you! THANK YOU for this post, I'm so much more motivated now
  • Hi! I just recently started having vega sport protein in chocolate. This protein blend is all natural, gluten and dairy free which is perfect for me. It doesn't taste like a chocolate milkshake, but it does taste very good, not chalky and gritty like many natural protein blends I've tried, and the bonus is that this vega…
  • Hello, Several years ago I had anorexia, it was extreme. I stopped getting my period, and now 8 years (plus) later I still don't menstruate. Some months I have all the symptoms, including discharge, however i still don't have my period back. My diet is good, and I'm at a healthy bmi. I finally decided to got the medication…
  • Same here, 135 and wanting to lose 15 pounds! I'm thinking of following a ketogenic diet or, a plan from the web site, Bearware. It's basically a few protein shakes a day, plus salads and veggies. No refined carbs, processed food, or fruit. Alternatively, I've thought of trying 2 smoothies a day and a meal? What's your…
  • Hello:) Yes I lived w an eating disorder for several years, it snuck up on me in disguise...10 years ago I was seconds from death, i laid in a coma in the hospital bed etc etc. I'm good now, although parts of my past still hurt. Different times I come across women that look terribly I'll, Some young but mostly they are in…
  • Hello, Eat right for your blood type has worked wonders for many people, so i wouldn't disregard the diet as nonsense. Im O positive, and I followed the diet for a year, roughly. I cut out wheat, most gluten and dairy for the most part. My autoimmune cleared up, and I felt great, digestion improved and I had good energy. I…
  • Hello. You're right- Elleptical vs treadmill for weight loss is a popular topic! I've been involved in sports since I was a child, and I continue to exercise w machines (elleptical, treadmill, bikes, weight machines) at the gym, or biking or running outdoors. the elleptical and treadmill are both great machines. However,…
  • Hello, I'm going to try a plan that is very similar to ideal protein. The web site is called, Bearware.com...the individual that created the site discusses the high protein plan that he followed, as it was recommended to him by his doctor. he lists several different protein shake and protein bars to choose from, and also…
  • Good question. Everyone's body is different as you know. Although you feel great now, in a few months or longer you may experience physical and/or mental burnout from your busy fitness regime. That's the only way you could potentially hinder yourself in the exercise/weight loss dept. aside from your fitness schedule, when…
  • Hugs! Well done! You are very motivating to me! What did you do, what was your diet like?
  • I've Been trying, then failing, then trying, to lose the unhealthy weight that I gained. However, This group dynamic is a great motivator! I'm committing to this April challenge, I'm holding myself accountable to this group :) Sw, 125 lb Cw, 125 lb Gw, 100-105 lb For the month of April, I will weigh in every Saturday,…
  • Oh & I don't count calories anymore. Eating sensibly is better, For me anywAy. Of course, however, I do have a rough idea how many calories I've had at the end of the day
  • I think everybody is different, and everyone's caloric load is going to be different, especially when you factor activity level into the equation. What works for you may not work for someone else. What do you eat to make up 650 calories? Now that I'm back on the healthy wagon, lol, I may return to a healthy protein diet,…
  • Thank you supertiredmom for your comment about Victoria secret models not being the greatest source of inspiration, their pics are so photoshopped
  • Orthorexia was talked about a number of years ago now. I see it daily, at schools amongst young girls & when I go to the gym myself. This problem hasn't gotten any better. I once had a very serious eating disorder, combination of orthorexia & anorexia, that almost took my life & I was in the hospital for quite some time.…
  • Check out dr.fuhrmans book 'eat to live', or see his web site. All green vegetables are high in micronutrients whereas meat & fish is not. Lettuce is over 50% protein by calorie & 18% healthy essential fat. Don't forget about beans, they are a good source of protein. See also, http://nutrient rich.com/eat for…
  • Nutritarian diet?! Ah so have you read 'Eat to live'? By Dr. fuhrman? I haven't read the entire boom yet but he advises a nutritarian diet, very very interesting research findings from this doctor. Majority of the diet is vegetables,fruit, & then some legumes, nuts & good fats. Oh and soy too! Which I was happy to read bc…
  • In response to does bingeing affect digestion & other health issues--in my experience, YES bingeing has affected my systems ability to digest food properly. Last month I went through too many ant-acids to count. Right now, I'm getting back on track, but to kickstart my system into digesting food properly or better than…
  • Hello all, thank you for the feedback. I most certainly know & agree 110% that there is not one diet that works for everyone. My question is just what works for you? Plant based or high protein low carb? I'm especially interested in hearing from the athletes out there, as I have gotten back into my training. Thank you I…
  • Hello everyone, this is a great thread! Right now I'm debating between following a raw/vegan diet or following a low carb high protein diet called (see www.Bearware.info). My goal is weight loss & improved energy. Ideally, I would like to be able to call this way of eating a healthy lifestyle, not a diet. For over a year I…
  • Okay I stopped taking R.F mainly bc I was not eating clean and did not want to waste my money or time using the product. Now, I'm back to using the product. Wow! I took it again today (3rd day) and went to the gym. I did a lot of cardio, & did not want to stop even though I hit 10 miles on the " life fitness" elliptical…
  • Hey a Rowdygirl! I have the bodybyVi, although I like the shake, i never followed through w the eating plan. I purchased the product some time ago. This wk, I'm following a diet/lifestyle that is similar to ideal protein. Many people, especially women, have changed their diet to it. I found the information on Bearware.com.…
  • I know, I wish I could practice what I preach as well! I have to do better to keep focused & remember that healthy feels better than it tastes....but ohhhh in that moment when I want a sweet (like pudding, sliver of cake (made by a family member) or muffin--something w that darn cakey texture) it's hard to just take a…
  • I agree w chmi1983! Giving R.F a try, I'll let everyone know soon :) I gotta commit to healthy eating lifestyle again though as it's 80% what you out in your mouth & 20% exercise,
  • Wow! Good for you! If you don't mind me asking, what is your weight now? I'm asking bc I will start a diet modelled after the i.p diet tomorrow :) and I'm doing this diet to lose 25 pounds
  • Hello everyone, I found a diet similar to the ideal protein diet & would like to begin the plan tomorrow. I'm hoping this diet will help me lose 25 pounds, along with exercise. How much have you lost each week on your diet plan that is also similar to ideal protein? What is your diet anyway? Protein shakes, vegetables &…
