Walden Farms-they have various flavors, ranch, chipolte, etc and they are 0 calories.

Check out the book wheat belly-I don't follow it totally but about 90%. It really helped me!

Just finished it-great book. I have also read the Paleo book.. Like them both.

I celebrated the 19th anniversary of my 49th birthday this year and climbed my first 14,000 ft. mountain. This site is great!

WOW!! Congratulations-you have done fantastic and look great!!

I have had the same problem. I am in decent shape but I recently climbed a 14K mountain and about 1/4 of the way up my heart rate jumped to 215 bpm! Scared me.

Climbed my first 14,265 foot mountain 9/21/12

WOW!! Incredible change for the good!!

I fast for 24 hours, generally once a week. I return to normal eating after the 24 hour fast, and it works great.

I make a smoothie. 1/2 cup strawberries, 1/2 cup greek yogurt, 1 cup almond milk, 1/4 cup steel cut oats, uncooked.

Well said!!

I have started doing 1 to 2 fasts per week. I base it on a book written by Brad Pilon, Eat Stop Eat. You can read about it at eatstopeat.com. His is a 24 hr. fast, no calories. I like it and seems to work really good.

Hi everyone! I celebrated the 19th anniversary of my 49th birthday this year! I don't know if I have different problems than anyone else-just takes me longer to accomplish whatever. This site has been key in staying in excellent shape. Add me as a friend if you like! Good luck to all.

Celebrated the 19th anniversary of my 49th birthday-so I guess that makes me 68. Love this site.

This sounds great! Thanks!!

I generaly follow the paleo diet-lean meats and lots of fruit and vegitables. It has worked for me. Add me as a friend if you want.

Whole wheat pita works great-split in half and brown in oven first and then whatever toppings you like.

Go to a doctor-get a medical opinion. Anyone who tells you not to exercise you gotta question.

Increase your protien intake and lower carbs.

I like the Paleo Diet, lean meats and fruits and vegitables. It has worked for me. I essentially stay away from all dairy, grains, and starchy foods and have had good results.
