I take a bunch of cilantro, lime juice, and jalapeno and add it to the blender with some water, salt and olive oil. Pour that over a salmon fillet. Broil on low for about 15 mins or when done and put over a bed of greens (arugula tastes great with it.) Add some fresh avocado slices. Good to go.

Where can I find this recipe. I am intrigued, especially because I was just diagnosed with celiac disease!

Because I used to lose weight by counting calories. That doesn't work anymore and I am looking for something that will. I hate it when people tell me that I must be doing something wrong b/c unless calorie counting changed in the last couple of years, I know I am doing it correctly.

These replies are great. I'm starting to see a pattern. For the most part it would seem that people who have PCOS and insulin resistance don't easily fit into the whole calories in and calories out category but they do very well by keeping the carbs low.

Is this how you naturally eat or did you make a conscious decision to eat this way? Did you lose more weight by doing so?

I was drinking a glass a night and keeping under my calorie limit and was not seeing any weight loss, so my sister recommended that I give it up for a month. I did and I still didn't lose, so hey I am back to drinking a few glasses a week and I haven't gained or lost. So no, I can't join you. It keeps me sane when I am…

This is true. As you can see from all the photos above, 150 looks diff on people of varying LBM.

Thanks to all of the above! Let's not forget the amazing fresh cuisine of the Pacific NW. Where you can have trout and chantrelle mushrooms in an egg scramble. I have lived overseas and have had to put up with people asking me to bring hot dogs to International School's food festivals to represent America (even worse is…

If you feel better after going off of gluten you should probably ask your Dr. for some celiac antibody tests. At least you will be closer to knowing if you should actually never eat gluten again as a matter of not destroying your intestines. Celiac is an autoimmune condition, not a trend and it is helpful to know if you…

I'm in awe of the quote upon quote upon quote phenomenon as well. These people are pretty stubborn. Looks like they need to take up political and religious subjects next.:tongue:

This is kind of an idiotic statement. It takes self control to beat any addiction.

saving for later. bump.

I use Garden of Life Raw and love it! I'm not vegan, but I am gluten intolerant and also whey made me burp. Bleh! So glad I found Garden of LIfe.

I second this!

Push ups to start with. Do you have access to an outdoor park with resistance stations? Can you invest in some weights for at home use. I'm bumping this. I go to the gym to lift but hopefully some other person on the board who doesn't go to a gym can give you advice on essential home weight equipment.

Good for you. I love listening to women brag about how awesome they are and how others must be failures. Perhaps you deserve a cookie.

Now, my protein shake with berries and spinach!:smile: But also corn chips!:sad:

I never eat Folks, so maybe that's why I'm not losing? I do say, however, I don't think cannibalism is kosher, let alone legal.

Funny, I'm drinking wine and engaging now.:laugh:

Being overweight is relative to height. You can't say a size is overweight per se. You all should be talking body composition here, not size. Oh and US sizes vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. If you look at size charts from high fashion brands, their size 10 is much smaller than a lets say GAP or JCREW size 10. Once…

My hand was forced to make a quick decision. I regret not going with 2grls1cupcake now.:sad:

Wait a sec. Why is *kitten* allowed, but not my former name (cupcake*****)?

Seriously, do you spend time making notes about who you think is "flirting" and checking their profiles to see if they are married? Don't you have more important things to do? What gives?

A snack size bag works for me. I mean the single serving sizes and not those with 3 servings in them. I also found that I just like to eat crunchy things so if I'm not craving salt I grab some crispy celery to chomp down on. If I need something salty, I pop up some popcorn and toss soy sauce, brewers yeast and paprika on…

I think I must have gone into starvation mode yesterday between morning and afternoon. You know like the kind of starvation mode where the body just hangs onto fat. I woke up and ate nothing. Instead I drank about 3 gallons of water and guess what? When I weighed myself a few hours later I was up about 20 pounds from my…

I see the biggest results on MFP with women who do weight training. Go for the weights!

You can add me. I have an open diary for my friends.

Low grade fevers are not normal either. IT's your body having a hard time with the exercise and points to an underlying medical issue.

How do you feel after it all? Are you lethargic? If you get stomach pains, throw up and have diarrhea you need to see your Dr. very soon and be evaluated for adrenal insufficiency.

Go to your fridge, take a stick of butter out, sprinkle sugar on it and stuff it down your throat...or enjoy it. Kidding. Ok, try eating natural nut butters with apples and celery. Avocados will also do the trick. Cut one up and sprinkle some salt, pepper, cumin and paprika on it. Don't eat bacon unless you like it. There…
