  • I drink a couple teaspoons of Raw Apple Cider Vinegar with my meals and I can tell a huge difference on my cravings between meals. It is vinegar so it doesn't taste amazing. Some people mix it with juice or something else. I just swig it from the jar and chase it with whatever I'm drinking. But ACV has many many health…
  • Could also look up the SCD diet, Special Carb Diet. The website www.pecanbread.com is set up for parents of autistic children because that is one thing the diet helps with but it's also easy to navigate to learn about what it can all help with. Could give you some insight for carbs to look to on your carb days.
  • My brother does IF and does not eat wheat or refined sugars and he has been bulking like crazy! When he started doing the IF he had one week he put on 8 lbs of muscle. I'd have to connect you to him if you wanted details but he eats like a beast calorie wise. He eats a lot of healthy fats instead of carbs I know a lot of…
  • I don't... I try but I have 3 kids and work like 50 hrs a week and sometimes I don't get it done. I use this site as a tool, not as something to make me feel guilty if I forget or don't get to it. It's still working for me so I'll keep doing it the way I am.
  • How about snacking on a bunch of veggies? Most veggies have "negative" calories, meaning it takes more to digest them then the amount you get from eating them. Or a nice big salad....same idea with "negative" low calories and then your body is getting nutrients it's probably craving from cutting your calories with dieting.
  • I really don't know if there is honestly much of anything to say on a site like this. It's personal enough that when your doing it right or eating enough it feels good to be encouraged but it's too impersonal that if you start trying to comment you probably will just upset people. I had a few weeks last year where I would…

  • Hey addean1...I would say your goal weight should be the weight you can keep without "dieting." Our bodies weren't made to be on a "calorie restriction" all the time. If your starting to get to a weight your happy with start trying to stop counting and just start eating healthy. I love the saying "Stop dieting and start…

Try a general web search. You'll be amazing how those 2 simple moves can wear you out. I'd say watch a video on line frist just or…
  • Drink more water. You really actually loss weight through sweating or when you urinate. Urine is the waist of your cells so when a cell is done burning a calorie it is exspelled and eventually comes out in your urine. Drinking plenty of water keeps your waist flushed out. I shoot for over 100 oz a day meself.
  • It's really exciting your choicing to take this step for yourself. I've lost and gained a lot over the last 12 yrs for many reasons and it's a complicated thing to loss weight and then keep it off. I push drinking a lot of water for myself. Take your weight and divide it by 2, that # is what I would suggest trying to drink…
  • Why wouldn't you! Your active and moving! Your heart rate is elevated and your burning a lot more calories then watching tv. You may not see "House Cleaning" as the new work out class at the gym but you were exerting force and energy. If you want you could try focusing on things like how you bend down when cleaing...use…
