I just found out I'm pregnant...4 weeks. I have my first prenatal appointment next week to confirm how far along I am. I just successfully lost 12 lbs, and while I know j can't keep losing weight, I want to stay active and healthy. Feel free to add me. I'm waiting to announce my pregnancy to all of my friends, but I'm also…

Wow, thanks for the info. Now I'm going to try to find that study. ☺️

Actually, this isn't true. Depending on Thyroid levels, hormone levels, etc., some people can gain weight on a 500 calorie deficit diet. The body does amazing things. Sometimes it helps us and sometimes it inadvertently hurts us. It is important to remember that only "normal" and hormonally balanced people will behave as…

I'm one of the unlucky people who are actually ALLERGIC to artificial sweeteners. If I consume aspartame I usually go into the ER with severe neurological symptoms. While the others don't cause as bad reactions, they usually land me in bed for a week as I "detox". The only one I dare to use is Stevia and then only in small…

Hi! I've been clean eating for a while now and a veteran at MFP, albeit I've been on a long break away from MFP due to school.

Roasted, unsalted nuts. I love munching on 1 oz of cashews, almonds, or walnuts. It's packed with a great balance of protein, fat, and carbs. I also drink Shakeology Vegan with unsweetened Almond milk.

Hi Traci! You've come to the right place; MFP is full of people who want to eat cleaner. The hard part for me was defining what "clean eating" meant. To me, it means choosing organic, non-processed, natural foods whenever possible. Of course, sometimes I have to eat something processed (example: tonight we are having tacos…

Feel free to add me as a friend. My diary is open to friends. I try to eat clean, but I am an omnivore, so I eat meat and veggies. Organic, non processed is what I strive to consume every day. My husband has an anemia condition, so going vegan isn't an option in the household, and truthfully, I love a good steak too much!

Metformin can be very affordable if you look for pharmacies with free or reduced fees. Giant Eagle used to run free metformin every month, Kroger offered a 90 day supply for $10. To those who have had major stomach upset I understand. It took me trying three different manufacturers of metformin. I finally found Zydus brand…

My definition is pretty easy: If it doesn't grow, don't eat it! Plants and animals grow...processed food does not.

Research indicates that an occasional slip will actually HELP your weight loss goals. So give yourself a break and move on :O)

I like my oatmeal mixed with a little milk and natural applesauce and a dash of cinnamon. YUM!!!

I use honey or Stevia in the Raw.

I've been diet soda free for almost five years now. But it greatly helps that I developed a severe allergy to artificial sweeteners...pain lots of pain. Occasionally, I will induldge in a regular Coca-Cola for a very special event. Usually I drink water, herbal tea, or water with half a packet of Crystal Light PURE…
