Make your dressing from scratch using a healthy oil.

Thank you so much! This sounds amazing.

Don't worry about cholesterol from foods. Ditch the grains and sugar and watch your carbs. Eat avocado daily. It will absolutely normalize your cholesterol. Get some exercise after meals. It will help your blood sugar.....also cinnamon

No you should not feel guilty about taking a little time for yourself....you are doing something to keep yourself healthy which will make you better able to be there for your family.

I like the grassfed beef sticks from stevesoriginal.com

There's really no reason to give up red meat as long as you avoid factory farmed meat. It actually contains nutrients that you need such as iron and B vitamins

Well good luck with that. Logging is the only thing that reins me in and stops me from eating too much.

the fact that a 450 lb doctor is prescribing you a diet that he says never worked for him should send up some red flags. You might want to do some research on how a ketogenic diet affects a person with hypothyroidism. There are many that say it will reduce your body'sability to product thyroid hormone and may make your…

Local pastured sausage, fried egg and half of a chia waffle w/butter & and a dab of sugar free syrup

I like Dancing With the Stars Cardio Dance the one from 2007 with Kym, Maks and Ashley on the cover. I've had some of the later ones but this is the only one I come back to.

Not so wild about carrots either....unless they are cooked with pot roast

I get it lol. It did not even occur to me to have friends on here. I joined mainly to track and rein in my carbs and sugar. Sending fr.

Cathe has many cardio workouts that don't require equipment. I like to do her step workouts without a step(can't risk my ankles if I trip) because it fits in a small space and the choreography is always interesting and challenging. You can do her weight workouts with dumbells and a barbell or bodybar. She is my absolute…

It would help to see your diary and know what you are eating. Calorie goal looks low to me.

[ [/quote]Subjective. I eat quite a bit of processed foods vs my cousin who is vegan and only eats organic. She suffers from anemia and lacks any stamina along with still being quite overweight, whereas I'm very fit (especially for my age) and don't have issues with weight like she does. A.C.E. Certified Personal and Group…

Sounds fantastic. I might make this tomorrow. Thanks for posting.

Same here. I think it has to do with blood sugar dropping too fast . I agree with the person that suggested a protein shake after the workout. That can make a huge difference.

I too am trying to avoid a Diabetes diagnosis. I try not to exceed 25g sugar from any source and aim for about 100g carbs. I find I can't go too low on the carbs . I seem to hold onto the weight that way. Interestingly the days I splurge a bit and have something carby at dinner like rice or potatoes are when the scale…

Don't do this. He will realize how shallow you are and leave you for that skinny bridesmaid.

You probably already know the answer. Planning and willpower. I try to plan my eating and log it early in the day so I know what and when I'm getting something. There's always the next thing on the list to look forward to. I also try to avoid situations where there is going to be food that I need to stay away from. If you…

The white is protein but the yolk contains the nutrients , minerals etc

Really? If you cant take this seriously and try to be helpful then keep your thoughts to yourself.

Today my salad included romaine, spinich, broccoli, green pepper, raw sunflower seeds, avocado, manchego cheese and wild caught alaskan salmon sauteed in coconut oil. Homemade dressing of olive oil, juice of 1 lemon and 1 lime, pressed garlic, s&P.

Food in a box. This is just getting silly now. Most people should be able to recognize processed, factory made "food".

Why do you think cream is worse than sugar?

You really don't need to worry about the fat and cholesterol you get from eggs. Your body NEEDS fat and even cholesterol. Don't fall prey to the myth perpetrated by the drug companies who want everyone on a statin for life.

Read the label and avoid processed foods like the plague. Duh. You have to do the best you can and try to stick with whole REAL food.

I eat them. Whoever started this egg white only nonsense should be shot.

My coffee has a little real cream, a dab of coconut oil and cinnamon.
