OMG I have neuralgia as well. Thankfully mine is not as bad. I don't have the aches anymore but the left side of my face feels like I just left the dentist and the novocaine hasn't worn off. My teeth occasionally ache & my left nostril just doesn't function. Fortunately the headaches seemed to have stopped, but I think…

I'll have to check, but you could google, there is a workout you can do while sitting in a chair. Also if you can get her to a pool she can work out in the pool. Not even full blown water aerobics, just walk the length of the pool will help. Sadly she will need professional help and we all know you can;t make someone do…

I try to eat immediately after and I always go for protein. You want to fuel your body after working out.

Nope that's correct. Some fruits pack a bit of a sugar punch. Apples, oranges and bananas are very sugar heavy. Keep in mind they also deliver lots of good fiber with that sugar.

No they aren't. They may be challenging, but I am almost always at or under my sugar and rarely eat refined sugars or processed food.

It's not if you really examine how and what you eat. For example instead of regular yogurt like Danon, etc... I eat 0%greek yogurt . I buy the plain kind and add my own fresh fruit or sometimes nuts or whatever. Sometimes I add a few drops of real vanilla extract and add a packet of stevia for sweetness. Since the stevia…

I get what you are saying but sadly this is a myth. It's actually cheaper to buy/eat fresh or at the very least frozen, and if you organize yourself it doesn't take more time than making the processed stuff. I do food prep once a week. Cut veg for salads, make a pot of bean, a pot of brown rice or whatever grain I plan to…

Not mine & I've long since stop worrying about other people's food choices.

I never make goal and strive to stay under my macros, so as long as I am over 1200 and I've eaten well throughout the day I don't worry about it.

mmm, that's interesting. I just add whatever I put in it. I know I'm cheating myself, but I never bothered to look up an alternative.

You kinda have answered your own question here.You know you need to workout, get your baby and then make dinner. The hard part is just doing it. A few things that might help is posting a reminder on the fridge, or preparing a small snack for when you come home. Try leaving your workout clothes by the door. You have to…

I'm a veggie eater so it's easy for me, but I realize some people aren't. One easy way is in a smoothie. Add a cup of spinach to any fruit smoothie. It will be a funky color, but you don't taste the spinach at all. People who eat meatloaf also grind up spinach into the meat mash. You can also blend them up into a marinara…

yep. because when I don't I find myself struggling with too many calories at the end of the day

Well the ingredients list doesn't look to bad I don't like whey protein so that rules me out. Even if it didn't have whey, I still I think I would shy away from this, especially if you are the type of person who is prone to binging. When it comes to making the mental change to eat in a way that's healthier, I can't imagine…

I would log it. I've never had PT and not broke a sweat. It may not seem like much, but if it's changing your flexibility or range of motion, it really is doing something. Not every exercise is to burn calories. For me it's also to increase flexibility and strength. Ive started monitoring mine, just to see how much longer…

handful of nuts like almonds or walnuts, dried cranberries, string cheese, larabar bar, protein shake, Fage 0% yogurt. My homemade popsicles. Bit of fruit. whatever is on hand

It's sad that people think it's okay to value one life over another. Amy Winehouse had an addiction. If anyone would be sympathetic to someone caught up in the throes of addiction, I would think it might be members of MFP, many of whom are dealing with food addictions. I read on here daily people begging others for…

I juice and may drink a meal instead of eating, but never more than one meal a day. Today I juiced simply because I haven't had much of an appetite in the heat. I wouldn't do it every day though, it will make your sugar levels go up. Just not a big fan of fast in general.

It's simple, the closer something is to it's natural state, the more fiber it will contain. Opt for fresh fruits and veg, then go for frozen Stay away from canned or boxed food and choose whole grains.Choose lean meats, limited animal fat, limited dairy. Invest in a cheap crock pot and make beans yourself. You will cut…

I just assume most caloric info is off. This is why I try and leave some room on my calories.

I do. I weed out those who don;t share their diary with friends and if it's been months and they haven''t logged in. I try to interact with my friends so if that doesn't happen I remove. So far I've managed to get really nice friends, but my main purpose in being here is to encourage and focus on proper eating habits. If…

THIS. I am epi pen carrying allergic to seafood. I cannot even walk [*kitten* the seafood section without itching and coughing. If I ate it anyway, I'd stop breathing in 15 mins.

severely allergic to seafood mild sensitivity to cinnamon

I think there may be a few things going on. FYI I am menopausal to a radical hysterectomy as a result of uterine cancer. It slows down an already slowing metabolism. I know the things I did to lose in my 20's don't work. I have to face that my eating habits going forward had to change. Now I make sure that eat breakfast…

Don't always look at low cal. Look at nutrition. I try to eat the most before 2pm so I don't have a problem with a large breakfast. As mentioned you need some form of protein in your breakfast. Many nutrition sites recommends eggs and some studies suggest that people who eat eggs for breakfast tend to snack less and lose…

Things that work for me and are pretty natural: 1. Chocolate vegan protein shake 2.Dark chocolate . The *really* dark bitter one, 95%. Shave it over stuff and use less. It taste nasty if you try an eat it solo. 3. Ciao Bella dark chocolate sorbet.. First chocolate sorbet I have ever tried and liked. 4. Lindts dark…

I don't believe MFP is set up so that you can save calories from one day to the next. Whenever I have a huge amount of calories left over I just eat a light meal and let it go. Sometimes I may even do a protein shake and call it a day. That said, as long as I stay away from mixed drinks I'm finding it fairly easy to…

I make it a recipe and break servings down to 8oz glasses. The only exception was yesterday, I did some juicing and out came to 16oz. Normally that would have been a recipe and I would have listed serving size as 2, but I took it to a cookout, so I counted it as 1.

Looked at your diary. I get that today's entry is not up to date, but I looked at all your entries and several were under 1200 and on most you don't eat breakfast. Also you are eating a lot of processed fast foods. Are you eating 1200 or just estimating? Additionally 1200 calories of fast foods is not going to be as…

I love the Eat this, Not that blogs. Great tips for eating healthier. Today's tip was on eating out. http://eatthis.menshealth.com/slide/keep-it-simple-0?slideshow=186328#sharetagsfocus
