Tell me about the soup. Did you make it or did you try someone elses? Can you provide the recipe?

Did you mean obdormition?? This numbness due to prolonged pressure on a sensory nerve. Falling after your long Skype session probably means you sat in such a manner that you compressed the nerve. Most likely not a mineral or dietary deficiency.

Have you tried the lite salt that medic mentioned? I use that as well. BTW, I looked at your profile and you need to be in front of the camera.

I agree with medic; just add salt to the healthy foods you are eating already. No need to add junk foods.

You need to define what your 24 hour day is and base your calorie intake on that period.

Are the dinners plated or buffet? Plated would make it easier for you because of the built in portion control. A buffet should have enough choices/variety that would allow you to make good choices.

Have you had a glucose tolerance test done?

You have to know what is a good weight for you. Work to achieve that weight by eating sensibly and maintaining areasonable amount of healthy activity. Like so many things, moderation is key.

Canned veggies are technically over cooked due to the temperatures and times used in the canning process. For broccoli use a salad dressing you like as a dip for raw or in some cases a sauce on cooked. For onions, try making an onion soup. The long process of gently caramelizing the onions brings out their sweet flavor.…

One bit of advice I remember being given by a drill sergeant was to eat all that was served to us at meals. He told us that doing so would get us to the correct weight as the calorie count was matched to the activity level. Both of my youngest daughters are in the Air Force and lost too much weight, but I know they didn't…

You won't get rich selling common sense. It has no mass appeal because there is no flashy gimmick. Markketing a advertisinng media require flashy gimmicks.

Most people come out of basic training fairly close to what they should weigh. Many lose weight but some gain. Most lose fat and gain muscle. At least that was my experience with the USA military. To make completing basic training easier make sure you are in good physical condition by doing lots of body weight exercises…

Persistence in the kitchen. Patience and dedication in the mind.

As a couple they may have made the choice that she does the gocery shopping, the inside house work and the cooking; while he does the lawn mowing, home maintenance/ repair and take care of the cars.

Just another snake oil product. Skip the gimmicks. Focus on nutrition, with a calorie deficit and a balanced activity routine.

My grandparents use to drink this daily back in the 1960's. Its nothing new.

I drink 12 to 16 cups (coffee mug size) of green tea per day and have done so for years. The weight has not fallen. In fact I'm 60 to 80 lbs overweight. The weight loss claims for green tea are bogus in my experience.

So how much protein are you getting???

From what I have read by the folks that have lost a lot of weight, its all about persistence. A constant , non-linear joutney towards a long term goal. Its not about achieving a short term extreme. We all all have plateaus that occur at the most inconvenient time but to reach the end goal we must stay consist in our…

Nothing more than snake oil. Save your money or donate it to charity as mentioned above.

Along with the various foods that have potassium you can use lite salt. They reduce the sodium by adding potassium. Bear in mind that an excess of potassium is just as bad if not worse than a shortage.

I weighed exactly the same on May 1st asI did onApril 1st, but I think I look a little less fat, my belt fits 2" smaller and I feel like I'm skinnier.

That is very true.

What foods have cleansing properties? What specifically do they cleanse?

I have wondered who exactly determined what a real portion or serving size is for any given food. What criteria was used?

Waste of time and in some cases money. Just start doing your lifestyle changes.

I liked to have a small sundae from Baskin-Robbins once in a while. The last one I had just didn't agree with me. Kind of felt a little queasy after eating it. Haven't had one since then.

For some people, eating starchy type foods like oatmeal and pasta causes either weight gain or some difficulty losing weight. As with all things, moderation is important.

A culinary trip around the world using the various herb and spice combinations used in different cultures.

You are pprobably at the point where it gets real difficult to lose weight or body fat. From what I have read you will need to get under 10% body fat to see what you are wanting to see.
