I usually just use it in smoothies, it's pretty good and gives the smoothie a creamier texture. I also just mimic the Asian restaurants by adding it to stir fry, it's pretty good because it takes on the flavor of what you're cooking it in.

Hey, I want to be your friend. Single mama of 4 juggling running the kids on their errands, doing my errands, working full-time, and trying to work out. Ugh I'm tired...

What? I didn't know mint tea was bad for people with asthma! Can you elaborate or send me an article or something.... Thanks :)

hmmm, interesting

Midol really helps me, exercise helps, and try doing the child's pose (yoga), it helps me. I was told that it helps the blood clots to drop, which is what's causing the cramping. You get your period so often, did you ask your doc if you have a fibroid or anything on your uterus?

I'm looking for friends who are in the Core in 8 program, anyone?

OMG, I'm gonna stop eating my Oreos whole and start checking for spiders.

Me Too!

My snack ideas: light yogurt, craisins or raisins mixed with peanuts, 1 cup almond milk, string cheese, peanut butter on top of apple/cinnamon rice cake, 1/2 banana

I like the term Cysters too. LOL

OMG, I love Sweatin' to the Oldies! Richard also has such an inspiring story.

Confused.... Are you guys just sassing me? Or are your serious? I have never heard of this before. I have only ever heard of cow's milk, goat's milk, soy milk, almond milk, rice milk.

Healthy to me = lots of nutrients, low amount of toxins, easily digestible.

YUMMY!

Thanks, sounds yummy!

Or oatmeal with boiled eggs. I need stuff that keeps me full.

Kashi Go Lean with rice milk and a banana

Hi, I think the best thing to could tell you is to not go into denial. Everyone I know who is newly diagnosed goes into denial and they don't take care of themselves. They say, "Oh, I'm just prediabetic" or "I'm just newly diagnosed, so my sugar isn't that bad." Believe me, you're diabetic. Take care of it now, and you…

I tried the SLEEPY TIME TEA, it really does work.

Wow, I did not know this, thank:)

Yum, the Honey Vanilla Chamomile sounds good.

Check out: http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/best-teas-weight-loss-pt-1 One of my MFP friends told me about this. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm going to. I'm going to try the Pu Erh, White tea, and Bilberry teas. I had to order the Pu Erh and Bilberry because there's no "natural foods" stores near my hometown. I'm…

Yes, Unfortunately, I used to be heavier than I am now. When I lost weight, the patches went away.

Is Game of Thrones good? I've never seen it, but I love Sean Bean<3

"The End of Diabetes" by Joel Fuhrman. Totally love Joel Fuhrman, I don't know if I can handle being on his idea of lifestyle change, but he's totally opened my eyes as to what I'm doing to my body by eating the way I am. If you're interested, start with "Eat to Live" first, it's a great book.

YUMMY! I'm definitely a sneaker of chocolate. But those are some great ideas!

Add me, I'm an on/off user, but I'm trying to be better this time around. Motivation is what I need.

I can't remember where I heard this, but someone said, "you won't regret it". So even while I'm in the gym and I don't want to be there, I say that back to myself. Because deep down I know I won't regret it. Exercise makes me feel better and long term-we will have healthier lives.

I'm on it not only for pcos but also for diabetes. I've found that if I take it right when I'm eating that it doesn't upset my stomach as much. Or if you forget, take it with some pretzels. Also, increase your fiber. I tried adding more fiber by taking metamucil and it actually does help with the diarrhea. Anyways, it like…

I was diagnosed as diabetic before pcos, so I don't know if this recommendation is weird. I wouldn't think so because everyone who has insulin resistance has a great chance of developing diabetes. You can buy the monitors over the counter. But I'll warn you, it gets so tiring testing your sugar everyday.
