I refer you to the book "Blood Sugar Solution" by, Dr. Mark Hyman and "The Calcium Lie," by Dr. Robert Thompson, "Weight Training for Life", by Hesson, "Thyroid Diet" by Mary Shomom, etc... not to mention any number of nutritional information that is available online, it does not take much to verify resources and check out…

I totally agree with you.... Have you read the "Blood Sugar Solution" by Mark Hyman, he talks about this stuff in his book, very informative. Also another good read is the "Calcium Lie" by. Dr. Robert Thompson. Yes gluten is in everything, and it just isn't regular gluten anymore it is a super gluten made from GMO…

I don't think it is a bad idea to minimize wheat intake. The problem with wheat is that today the majority of wheat is GMO, so it is a super wheat which in turn has super gluten. So more and more people who would normally not be bothered by wheat are finding they have gluten sensitivities, allergies and even full blown…

It does not matter if you eat after 6pm... the key is not to eat right before you go to sleep....you should wait 2-3hrs after you dinner before bed. Also what kind of calories you are putting in make a huge difference. You want to go for more whole fresh food, try to stay away from the processed packaged food that is…

All foods that fit in the low Glycemic Index are good to have slow release, also protein is a slow release food. (I am assuming that slow release means how fast it is burned, or more or less how fast it raises your glucose levels). It is important to try and keep our glucose levels even and avoid to many spikes and dips.…

Sugar is a huge addiction problem, I love my sweets always have.. though I have always been more of a pastry, cookie and chocolate kind of addict. But sweets is sweets and I can relate! What helps me is to have a high protein meal in the morning, this helps w/the cravings throughout the day. I also try to keep eating…

I am really sorry about the carwreck then finding something out w/your thyroid. It sounds like you were on the right track, but yes when your thryroid is not working properly then it does not seem to matter what we do. I have type 2 Hypothyroidism, which was just diagnosed last month. It took me over two years to find a…

I agree the healthyiest option is to cook ahead and slice the meat yourself. Remember you can always freeze any extra, it may be time consuming at the time but in the long run it will be healthier and save you $$. For freezing those vacume packs are the best but you can use heavy foil along w/a good freezer bag, just don't…

I personally like Stash's Jasmine Blossom Green Tea, my favorite I drink 2-3 cups a day. I usually like it w/ 1tbs of 100% Raw Honey (Honey is very good for you full of B vitamins and has been used for medicinal purpose's for ages) I do like it w/out the Honey but add the honey when I am wanting something a little sweet. I…

Thank you! [/quote] You are welcome! There is a lot of good information out there sometimes it just a matter of finding out what works best for you. Here are two books I have found very informative, "The Blood Sugar Solution" By, Dr. Mark Hyman and "The Calcium Lie" By, Dr. Robert Thompson. Both are good books w/an easy to…

At one time I lost 90lbs between 2003-2006... I was able to keep that off for over 5yrs... the last 2yrs I was faced w/some new medical condition that caused me to gain 70lbs back...ugh.... However since I have lost the weight before I know it can be done again. The first time I was in college and had access to their gym…

I agree w/ allow your self to have a little of your craving. 1 slice of pizza won't hurt you, once in a while. If you have it everyday then well that will add up. If I am going to have something like pizza I like to make sure I have some salad before I have my slice, it helps me to feel full and to stay at once slice. As…

That sounds like you have a good plan! Keep up the good work, I would not worry about the sugar column, esp. if the main sugars you are getting are from fruits and vegtables, they process different in your system and won't cause spikes. They are high in natural vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants... really the health…

That is what I have to do. Added sugars and sugars in high carb foods like bread I really have to watch. I was told not to worry to much about fresh whole fruits and vegtables as they do metabolize different in the body, so does not cause a spike in my blood sugar. I was also told if I must have a sweetner to use Honey, it…

Yes, don't rush it, we all need to start with babysteps. It is more about replacing bad habbits with good ones and finding your personal balance. I do not believe in "diet fads" but more about healthy eating and living. I agree being able to keep a food log is a huge help and is a great tool. I have also been on here since…
