Any workout may be converted to a low impact workout by keeping at least one foot on the ground.

Thank you for offering these points to consider, Sunny_Bunny_. I also very much appreciate the loving and intelligent tone that Roseygirl1 has set for the consideration of this topic.

Hi Sunny_Bunny_. I appreciate your comments. Since Dr Fung bases his views of fasting on his belief that all foods raise insulin, I mentioned the books by Eades and Atkins to support another view of whether all foods raise insulin, not to promote their diets or views of fasting. My best to you.

To cardio, I can add: -- inline skating -- brisk walking -- rope jumping -- building a collection of exercise videos that focus on cardio To Strength: -- building a collection of exercise videos that focus on strength Unknown: -- Hula hooping (cardio? or core strength?)

Thank you for starting this thread, Roseygirl1. I appreciated your and others' thoughtful comments to the point of purchasing the Kindle version of Obesity Code and reading it, hoping to find a new approach to the obesity problem. However, I found the book mostly unhelpful and incredibly discouraging. If you are…

There is a way to browse: - Click on the link provided by Machka9 (thanks, Machka9). - The resulting page has 2 columns. - In the right column are the words, "...or choose an exercise below" - Just below those words, see the first line saying "abdominal crunches" inside a box in which you may click on a small triangle in…

I did a series of videos that came with a 12-week calendar of what to do when. By the end of the 12 weeks, exercising 6 days a week came naturally to me. Also, to prevent forgetting on busy days, I put a daily recurring exercise note into my calendar app -- it is a floating note so that if I don't exercise and check it as…

You have become adept at handling office birthday parties... you graciously accept the slice of cake, move it around with your fork, wait until no one is looking and hide it in the trash. :)

-- when the waitress gives you a pained, quizzical look and says, "You didn't eat your to-die-for honey crescent roll?" -- you smuggle your plate back to your table at the steak buffet so that no one sees it is meat only.

Congratulations on your new, more active, lifestyle! And it is super that you are monitoring your heart rates! The heart rates you have mentioned of 155-165 beats per minute are general guideline target heart rates for ages 20-29. If you are in that age range, then yes, keep doing what you are doing (brisk walking with…

I use a Polar H7 Bluetooth strap (about $50 and rated most accurate by Consumer Reports and other reviewers). It is a chest strap that I use to broadcast my heart rate data to any phone app I choose. If I run 2 different apps to receive my data for the same workout, I will get 2 different calorie counts. HRMs may be very…

Yes, I am wondering what you mean by "push... to fail". If you are overtraining, which results in a kind of burnt-out feeling of despondency or depression or anger, then learning how to use a heart rate monitor can give you early warning when you have pushed too hard.

Since you mentioned a budget, I'll share my inexpensive indoor cycle. It is about $150 US dollars or about 113 British pounds. It is a folding unit, taking up little space, and entirely silent in operation. I can ride it during a TV football game and not irritate my husband :smile: I ordered mine from Amazon and assembled…

I hope you feel better soon. I like Eden Organic Black Soy Beans. They are 1 net carb per half cup. They are also rather flavorless, but with your favorite flavorings, add an interesting texture to a low carb diet. Whole Foods has them, or I order them by the 12-can carton from Amazon.

According to Wikipedia, yes, pork rinds = pork scratchings. Here's a link to the article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pork_rind#United_Kingdom

Some people sleep in their jogging or workout clothes so that all they have to do in the morning is roll out of bed.

The Dukan Diet as written is low fat and low carb. This is the diet that Carole and Catherine Middleton used to get ready for the royal wedding. Dr. Dukan has written a few books. Here is the book I am using: Dukan Diet: 2 Steps to Lose the Weight, 2 Steps to Keep It Off Forever Hardcover – April 19, 2011 by Pierre Dukan.…

This website has a lot of choices for high impact bras: titlenine.com/products/sports-bras-and-undies.do

Personally, I enjoy my indoor exercise bicycle and the Quick Fit System of videos by Gilad, but if you would like to experiment with something free, many seem to enjoy the free videos at Fitness Blender https://fitnessblender.com/

I like my Polar H7 Bluetooth chest strap. I use it to transmit to my phone where I can choose any app(s) to receive the data. My impression of Polar is that most of their products will talk to each other -- I remember reading of some guy who discovered that his old pre-bluetooth treadmill could receive data from his new…

From Atkins, I like: - Beef Merlot - Crustless Chicken Pot Pie - Orange Chicken From Lean Cuisine, I like: - Steak Portabella

I love inline skating. It is a serious workout, but I don't notice the sweating because the forward movement creates a nice breeze across my skin. Here is a link to a calorie chart done by the U of Massachusetts: lenihan.org/sk8_calories.htm

Has no one mentioned sprinter's butt? active.com/fitness/articles/sprint-your-way-to-a-better-butt

We enjoy the Atkins sweets, especially the Chocolate Caramel Nut Rolls, the Peanut Butter Cups, and Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel Bars.

It sounds like you are in a lot of pain. For some quick answers, here is a thread where people offer solutions that have helped them: community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10443043/plantar-fasciitis-help Good luck! I hope you feel better soon!

I'm going to have to present another perspective. My husband and I have been dieting together since mid-November, 2015. I have lost 50+ lbs (while working out 6 days a week, watching electrolytes, etc), he has lost 10 lbs while taking a much more relaxed approach to the same diet. I cannot explain, but clearly gender is…

I have a Polar H7 Bluetooth Heart Rate Sensor (rated most accurate by Consumer Reports and other reviewers). It is a chest strap that can broadcast my heart rate data to any app I choose. If I choose 2 different apps to receive my data for the same workout, I will get 2 different calorie counts. So apparently the number of…

My husband also does low carb. His after-dinner snack is a cup of sugar free jello (0 carbs) topped with Land O Lakes sugar free heavy cream whipped cream aerosol (0 carbs). Here's a link to the whipped cream…

Well, this could be terrible advice, but it is something I have done... and assuming you are a mature adult who can make her own responsible decisions :) , I have been known to swallow about a spoonful of Listerine to see if germs were causing my upset stomach. The one time I tried this, it did give me relief and I didn't…
