  • I commit to doing one sun salutation and then see how I feel. Usually, it's enough to motivate me to do my routine. If not I get to it later in the day. I've been doing this consistently since December so I think it works.
  • You could give this a try. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppToA1N0CgE
  • Too much protein and too much fibre can cause constipation. Too much insoluble fibre can make stool bulky and difficult to pass. Eating more cooked vegetables and decreasing (not eliminating) raw vegetables can help. Too little oil and too little water can also cause issues. Too little exercise of the type that stimulates…
  • May I suggest you start with something simple like walking (outdoors if you can) for 20- 30 mins. The reason is that it's not a huge commitment. You'll quickly see improvement in how you feel physically and emotionally and it will create a desire for more changes. Then just gradually build new healthy habits. If you are…
  • This is the bodyweight progression that I'm using. http://www.startbodyweight.com/2014/01/basic-routine-infographic-poster.html . On Reddit, there are Beginner's and Rank Beginner's routines in the FAQ -- http://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/ I prefer the first link because photos are always helpful and I'm pretty…
  • Thank you!
  • Protein tends to sate appetite. If you reduce the protein your appetite will return. If you eat a large percentage of protein and are then unable to meet your carbohydrate percentage your body will metabolize fat, either from your diet or cells or both. If you go too low with your carb intake you may get headaches or…
  • You could try water crackers. They have very plain jane ingredients and a neutral flavour ideal for toppings. You won't be tempted to snack on them by themselves. (Not for those with gluten issues.) Brands vary from country to country but a few are mentioned in the article below. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_biscuit
  • Saute boiled sweet potato cubes with cinnamon . Remove from the pan. Deglaze the pan with orange juice (as little as necessary). Pour the pan sauce over the sweet potatos. Yum yum!
  • Sure. Broiling makes them (sardines) a little crisper and a lot easier to go down. Also, try different brands because some are more offensive than others.
  • Eat Sardines. They are good source of Calcium and a very good source of Vitamin D and phosphorus which are very important for bone health. I really disliked them once. Then I started broiling them after sprinkling them with salt, black pepper and hot pepper sauce. Gooooood!
  • Thanks so much for the welcome.

  • Sodium is essential to the body. It's an electrolyte which works in balance with another famous electrolyte called Potassium. There are others. The electrolytes are important for proper electrical signal in the cells, especially in the muscles and the heart. If the balance is off you can develop headaches, problems with…
  • Yes. Headaches can be triggered by low sodium. Simply add a little table salt to your food. The amount needed varies through the day, with activity and even the weather. You just have to experiment a bit. Sodium isn't bad. You just don't want to go WAY overboard. p.s. oops didn't see how old that post was... back to…
