I see a neurologist for my headaches and she prescribes Inderal and also advised me to take 150-200 mg of CO Q 10 twice a day. The inderal (taken daily as a preventative measure) relaxes the blood vessels and slows the heart rate down, helping to keep blood vessels from getting constricted and inflamed. I have been taking…

You should be netting more than 300-400 calories. Shoot for at least 1200. Being a little under is okay sometimes but based on what you said, I think you are consistently too far under. Try eating more for a week or two and see what happens. There is a balance for everyone and you just have to find yours.

This is a great soup recipe from Cooking Light - Spicy Thai Coconut Chicken Soup. http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/spicy-thai-coconut-chicken-soup-50400000118583/ I add some ****akes to the regular mushrooms, and if I am short on time will just use some shredded rotisserie chicken. If I have raw chicken, I just cube it and…

I liked these, but I like oatmeal, so.... http://www.skinnytaste.com/2012/01/baked-oatmeal-with-blueberries-and.html

This is a NYT article by Christopher McDougall from November 2011, about barefoot running and the 100up... http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/06/magazine/running-christopher-mcdougall.html?_r=1

I would NOT do this, at least not if you want to poop normally when you are not running.

I actually do not see how this article is about an "everything in moderation myth" at all. The point seemed to be more about quality of your calories, which makes sense and is something that is personally important to me. Of course, if people are trying to lose weight AND get healthy they should be concerned with the types…

I think these are the best: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/healthy-appetite-with-ellie-krieger-/crab-cakes-recipe/index.html

I think it's close. I calculated this for myself at a maintenance calorie level and this equation gave me 1499 and MFP gives me 1460 per day. (I did not subtract 500 calories for weight loss, obvs).

Whichever scrambled egg entry you used is just incorrect or incomplete. search for whole egg and then find an entry where the protein is listed, should be about 7 or 8 grams for one egg. The entries without stars are ones entered by MFP and are generally more accurate. However, in general, one large egg has 70 calories and…

Okay, I'll touch this one. If you are serious... Your heart rate increases when you exercise, that is how you burn calories and work your heart muscle, thereby improving your cardiovascular fitness. If you really just started and have not been very active before, then it is not surprising that your heart rate is so high…

Yes, used to happen to me. I would have to keep wiggling my toes otherwise they felt like they were falling asleep.

They make coconut milk, not almond milk. Per their website, 1 cup of SO Delicious Coconut Milk has 1g protein and 0g fiber. http://sodeliciousdairyfree.com/products/product.php?p=so_delicious_beverage_hg_original

I drink regular cows milk - call me crazy. I don't really like the taste of almond milk on its own, never drank soy milk but I do know that it has a good amount of protein in it, whereas the almond milk has little to no protein or fiber in it.

They will likely not be available all year, but I believe they will last for a few months.

apples, oranges, grapefruit, baby carrots, raspberries, blueberries, celery, certain fruit and nut bars, broccoli and cauliflower, squashes. Stuff that is more processed or fortified with fiber: kashi go lean cereal or their shredded wheat cereals, I look for sandwich bread or English muffins with a good fiber content, I…

I increased my goal to 30g/day and I usually eat above that.

I increased my daily amount to 30g per day, and of course that increases when i workout to between 40-45 grams per day. I usually end up eating close to or over that, and I don't have any bad side affects. This has been the standard for me for months.

I have one of these: http://www.nordicware.com/store/products/detail/microwave-eggs-n-muffin-breakfast-pan/9DF1BCFA-C0F9-102B-9706-00137233C6B0 It is the best. ever. I scramble an egg in it, add salt and pepper, microwave for one minute and it fits perfectly on an English muffin, I will usually add some cheese or an ounce…

I have never found a taste or smell difference. This may be psychological.

What I see is someone who's a bit dense.

I have the same issue some days - I find that it is totally mind over matter. Sometimes my mind wins the battle, and sometimes it loses to the fat girl that lives inside my brain. If I am really having a hard time and am on the verge of going into the kitchen I will either; brush my teeth, go right to bed, chew some…

I also need to have something in my belly for an early workout, but I don't like to drink a lot of liquid. It makes me feel bloated and nauseous. I will usually eat a small snack of about 100 calories with a few grams of protein and fiber in it, generally it is half of a fruit and nut bar like a Lara Bar or a Pure Bar.…

I was also going to suggest the pork loin, maybe do a soup of the day (depending on what it is) or the field greens salad to start. You could also do the ciopinno or the sauteed mussels Some of the chicken dishes also sound good, I would probably ask to sub the potatoes for veggies, and ask for their sauces to be on the…

F low carb.

i don't see why you could not eat some chicken everyday if that is what you want and it fits within your calorie goals.
