I see that no one answered this question... I am now making a large batch of beef bone marrow broth and looking for help on how to enter the beef bones used in my recipe... Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Made this the other day it is was delicious... my daughter who claims she doesn't like pork asked for the recipe... Its a crock pot recipe so you can set on low in the morning and come home to a lovely roast ready to serve... 2 1/2 pounds boneless pork loin roast 1 cup real maple syrup 4 tablespoons prepared Dijon-style…

Wow cityjane - We must be on the same wave length... I also made Hake for dinner with new potatoes only I served spinach for the greens! So, what are planning for tomorrow :-) Michele - I too struggle when we go out to eat... Hubby likes to go out once a week... I always go with good intentions and end up being bad... My…

Pizza! Can't eat just one or two slices... Now that I am gluten and dairy free substitutes just don't make the grade...

Good morning ladies! It is cold here in Boston... only 44 degrees and to think it was 90 just last week! My day is starting off on a high note... I get lab work done every other week and they are posted at 7AM the next day on-line... before I even checked my counts I had an email from my hematologist! This is the content…

Hi srhelm. I have been on a "clean eating diet" for 4 months now and have to say it is changing my life for the better... I have a lot of medical issues and am working with a nutritionist... My lifestyle change has created a healthier me and I have lost over 20 lbs to boot... I will say it is expensive and unless you can…

Hello ladies... Just why is it that that weekends fly by... I am pooped and just the thought of going to work in the morning is depressing me :-) I have a very busy week and not looking forward to it! Today I have been on the go... food shopping in the AM then preparing some food for the week... decided to take a break,…

Good morning ladies... I am sitting here planning my day.... Meeting my DIL's dad and stepmom later... going to do so sightseeing in our fine city then have dinner out... I am stressing a bit because at home I have complete control over the food I eat... I am going to have a cheat night and that is all there is too it...…

I had the same issue with you with the dry chicken and the trick is to add to it... For me chicken is easy for make ahead meals... my problem now is I am getting bored with it! I am making homemade chicken stock once about once a month now as I use it a lot instead of oil for sauté and have started to poaching foods rather…

I will give you the advice my nutritionist gave me... You can buy canned, packaged or frozen foods but make sure they have 7 or less ingredients and that you must be able to pronounce and recognize all the ingredients (e.g., no chemicals)... There is healthy package food out there if you look for it! Trader Joes and Whole…

I have been having either Lemon Garlic Hummus or Red Lentil Hummus with either sliced veggies or sliced apple... I measure out a couple of tables spoons and put it a small snack size container with the veggies and/or apple and toss it in my bag...

Wow, how have I missed this thread! You ladies are awesome!!!! I have been on a clean eating (as in all organic, no processed or GMO foods, gluten and dairy free) diet for 4 months now... I have severe rheumatoid arthritis and all the complications that come with it... I decided to make a major lifestyle change and lose…

5'3 here currently at 175 looking to get down to 145! I started a clean eating diet 4 months ago... It is a lot of work but I'm seeing results not only in weight loss but a healthier me... Feel free to add me!

I have been eating Red Lentil Hummus or Lemon Garlic Hummus with chopped veggies or sliced apple for snacks... Toss it all in a container and throw it your bag and you have a quick an easy healthy protein snack! Another go to snack for me is the individual cans of sardines or kipper snacks... Not only do you get your…

Thank you all for the wonderful posts... I have my to do list... Going to get myself a spiffy new water bottle with a straw! Then I am going to start infusing the water... I think that might be a nice change from just water to have with meals! I love the mint in cucumber suggestion... sounds refreshing... Thinking of a…

glad to see your post as I feel your pain... I am following the 1200 plan and, though I did do a bit of a cheat this weekend I planned for it and stayed within my calorie goal, found I gain about 1.5lbs when I weighed myself this AM...

Took a lot of the great advice on here and planned ahead... knew I was going out last night and arranged my calorie intake during the day and even went online to the restaurant menu and figured out what I could have before going... It went much better than last week!!! I even did a little cheat/treat and ordered a steamed…

Just want to reach out and thank all the military wives on here and their hubby's for their service... It takes a strong woman to handle deployments and give each and everyone of you credit! My son is military and there was never anything more difficult then when he deployed... You all have one big cheerleader in me... you…

Thank you all... I too am keeping to a low sodium, 1500 a day, but I seem o go over on my protein and fiber... I am doing a 70% plant/30% protein organic diet so I guess it's the nature of the plan... I am feeling better so I guess it is working... I like the suggestion to uses the detail counts as to where I can add my…

I try to remind my self that this weight took much longer than a few weeks to put on and it is going to take time and effort to come off! Everyone is different but I know for myself I tend to retain water weight so I am keeping my sodium intake to 1500 a day and try to drink lots of water (goal for me is 8 glasses a…

Bravo to you for posting here... I don't have anything else to say that hasn't been already posted... I was told by my doctor, re my obesity, that first step is recognizing the issue... the second is beating it... Wishing you the best of luck on changing your life!!!! You have come to the right place... some amazing people…

I hear you... It was a real wake up call when I first over heard a doctor, when describing me, as an obese middle age woman... I knew I was over weight but that word struck home big time... From one obese woman on a new path to another good luck on the road to being NOT obese!!!

Thanks for the advice... I am going to try entering my options in my phone at the table rather than making a choice ahead of time... this way our friends can see that I have a plan... I thought it would be rude doing it but hubby agrees with you.. I thinks if they see me doing this they will ask questions and then I get to…

sweets: ice cream, pie, cupcakes etc...

Hi, I am Sandy. my initial goal is to lose 50lbs. I am doing an organic, gluten and dairy free diet... I too would love to have some more friends to motivate and for motivation. Feel free to send me a request... becktacular90, you go girl! Love to be a cheerleader for you!

Thank you crmolle! I started 3 weeks ago not so much to lose weight, though I need to that too, but I was retaining so much water that I could not even put on my shoes... I had been dieting, watching my sodium intake etc with no results... the docs tested me for thyroid issues and nothing.. I did show signs of some…

If it is at night you should do herbal tea... there are some great fruity teas that taste great and have no calories... there are other teas that will help you relax and sleep better... but you should look at how your are using your calories... I have changed to a 30% of my calorie protein and 70% plant with 3 meals and 2…
