I used to get horrible leg cramps, then I started to get hip and thigh cramps. I went to the doctor and he told me to take a calcium and magnesium supplement like caltrate. I did, they went away. A few weeks ago I got dehydrated so I drank a ton of water and got the leg cramps again. Took some calcium/magnesium again and…

Desert! Too hot to hike ;)

this is very interesting to me and I think I am going to join you. ;) thanks!

Protein, lean protein. Cut carbs out! no sugar, no fruit, just vegetables, chicken and fish. It really helps you lose water, won't hurt you, as long as you drink lots of water. In fact that is what my cardiologist suggested. High amounts of fresh veggies with chicken and fish. Maybe you ought to call the shop and see if…

My cardiologist told me to eat chicken, fish and vegetables, and to stay away from sugars like carbs and fruit. He said my weight will fall off.

English apple pie recipes go back to the 14th century. The first printed apple pie recipe was by Geoffrey Chaucer in 1381. The ingredients for the pie were good apples, good spices, figs, raisins and pears. He also mentioned a cofyn, which is simply a casing of pastry. The last ingredient, saffron, is used to color the pie…

This is a little out of the way but unbelievably beautiful...Yosemite! Oh and you must see the Redwoods, there is a grove close to Frisco! Yea, and everything else everyone suggested and more..... California has it all.

I saw a really good video on how to do pull ups on scoobysworkshop.com. I plan on having my son watch the video so he can learn how. Check it out, and I hope it helps.

This might sound like a silly idea, but I have heard that tap dancing will work your leg, and it's cardio too, so your legs get toned. It can't hurt!

My cardiologist told me to get the weight loss moving to cut out all fruit, sugar, carbs and eat chicken, fish and vegetables. He said the weight would fall off. I haven't been able to cut out all the fruit, but trying. You do need protein for your muscles, so I suggest adding in lean protein and getting rid of anything…

You are gorgeous! I am amazed at your transformation. Your friends are right, you need to shout out your success! In doing so, you have inspired many. I started off at 270 and want to get to 150, and am 5'7". I used to drink one diet soda after the other too! Thanks for sharing your story and reminding me that it is a…

Sounds good and healthier

What I understand is that BMR is the amount of calories your body needs to live, and TDEE is the amount of calories you use daily with your exercise etc. I have been told to do 20% below your TDEE to lose weight. Go to scoobysworkshop.com to use the BMR calculator. Hope this helps!

My doctor told me to cut out the sugar, even in fruit. Sugar in all forms raises insulin that stores it as fat. My advice would be more protein, less sugar and carbs. Good luck!

I am a bit sensitive on the subject because I have had to deal with people that just don't understand how much pain I have dealt with concerning my knees. I injured my right knee about 12 years ago, didn't know I had a torn meniscus, and walked on it and lived with it until about 5 years ago when all the surgeries,…

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt 1 scoop Protein powder 1/2 cup almond milk 1/2 cup Kale on occasion 1/4 cup frozen blueberries, cherries, banana or ? Blend and enjoy

Hi! I saw my friend, Lizmfp, had posted on this group and had to learn more about it. Sorry for stalking, but this may be the group I need to get back my motivation. I turned 56 in March, I have lost 30 lbs and have 90 more to go, and my weight loss seems so slow its discouraging. I had a knee replacement two years ago and…

I searched for posts on the Bulletproof Executive here to see who else was being successful on it. My brother just told me about it a few days ago and has lost 45 lbs so far in a few months. He is very excited about it. I don't think he is drinking the coffee, just doing the diet. He told me how great he was feeling, and…

My cardiologist told me to eat as much fish, chicken and vegetables that I want and the weight will fall off. He said to stay away from fruit because the sugar will raise insulin and make it harder to lose. I have been trying the TDEE -20 way and have lost 30 lbs in 4 months. My brother has lost 45 lbs in a few months by…

Welcome to the beginning of a new life. I was up to 3x and now they are starting to get baggy, well some of them. I have lost 25 lbs since January. Add me if you'd like. ;) congrats and good luck!

Congratulations Elle, you look fantastic and are a real inspiration!

Gotta try the crock pot lasagne. Maybe I will try it with sliced eggplant to make it lower cal. Thanks for the thread.

If you eat below your BMR, will it lower your metabolism?
