Yes most likely its water retention..taking diuretics help during such times.. Also, you may get extra snacky.. and crave for junk.. but its the most nutritious food that is going to keep your hunger and cravings in check.. The time of the month when you can afford to cheat is actually the mid-cycle around ovulation, which…

When the body is cooling down ! The feeling of cool breeze passing through my body :-)

I also find 30 DS very challenging. I guess its not the weight but the fitness level. I'm at 213 lbs now. I get through the entire exercise but have to drop the weights at certain points.. I just cannot get myself to do the side lunges with arm raises. I started with 5 lbs in the beginning but then reduced to 3 lbs for the…

Depends on what she ate right? If she ate banana or something, by the time she goes to pay for it, it will have reduced in weight so ideally it was some kind of shoplifting. If it was a candy, she can always scan the barcode if she saved the package. Editing because I just read she ate a sandwich. Putting behind bars may…

sensitive. If you are smaller than her, it is an obvious thing to say. But she is 20 and because of her recent weight gain, she may be a bit emotional about it. So it may be worth to talk to her!

Zero $ and zero calories from Candy ! (its no self control, I just missed the party! :p)

needed to hear this today :-)

Fine..what about folks with diabetes/ insulin resistance and PCOS? Also, fruits are best eaten whole than the pre-cut ones to have maximum nutritional benefits.

Maya, you're spot on ! #2 to #5 are my story! :) Yeah, keep them on.. use them as your inspirations and motivations and not embarrassments ! =)

not unless gout and uric acid related disorders run in your family

Will be glad to help.. could you send out a word file (devkids@yahoo.com) ?

I'd go with any one that emphasizes the waist and flows away from the body. The bottom red are good..may be a different color..but that's just my thinkin! :)

It has cream base, crushed almonds and mango pulp. I know its hard to estimate the calories but I'd go with the amount you ate. for example, if you had 1 cup, most of it would be made of fresh cream. If its very thick, then a handful of almonds. and may be half a cup of mango pulp. And don't forget the oil !! Sorry. Can't…

great article ! I especially like that they busted the low fat peanut butter! maltodextrin can in fact make you gain weight. Thanks for posting this.

I'm in. However, i wasn't able to fill in my name. Do I need to wait for the permission to edit or something? I have never entered a challenge so not sure how this works :ohwell:

change batteries?

Was a college student in Arizona but live in MI, very close to where you are =) Sent you a request !! :)

Steve Jobs had a neuroendocrine tumor (NET) of pancreas and are quite distinct from pancreatic tumors. Diet full of synthetic chemicals can lead to a number of cancers in addition to the genetic predisposition by birth. Curcumin is thought to have a chemopreventative role but its not established clinically as yet. Its hard…

Their dragonfire chicken, jack daniel's shrimp and chicken and spinach florentine flatbread are the only things that are under 700 calories. In that, dragonfire chicken is loaded with sugar. As everyone else suggests, eat only a half of your entree.

LOL

Fruit sugar (fructose) is better for you than table sugar. By eating table sugar (sucrose) our bodies go out of sync with our sugar levels as the sugar is processed in the body extremely fast and in doing this the body informs the pancreas to pump out insulin. Someone with a weak pancreas will have a hard time doing this.…

I was spending money at Java City.. I was a graduate student then and when I carefully reviewed my bank statement, it was $70 a month on an average which is CRAZY. I just started using my coffee maker at home, bought 2 different kinds of coffees and stayed under $70 for months to come. It was difficult to stop it all at…

Unfortunately, you cannot spot reduce. The fat will eventually come off from where you want it..just stick to it. Good luck!

NSV of the day --> husband mentioned that my tummy is going in..I probably felt it too :)

Not the 365 brand but I buy Tofu Shirataki noodles from WF to replace pasta, friend noodles etc. I follow recipes from hungry-girl.com to make pad-thai, fettuccine alfredo and meatball-spaghetti using these noodles, most of which are under 200 cals and very filling !

HAHAHAHHA ! :laugh: This is amazing !! I do that all the time :p

Auburn Hills / Rochester here!

That is phenomenal !!!! Great work !!

That is correct. That is probably the only side effect of Metformin other than nausea and morning sickness some people experience. Your doctor might have prescribed a multi-vitamin or a B-complex tablet to go with it. Good luck!

Naan will be made of refined flour. Also, butter chicken or anything looks creamy orange is likely to have a LOT of calories. I'm not sure what kind of a restaurant you're going to..but the southern indian food which includes dosa, idli etc can be pretty healthy. I'm an Indian and I can tell you all that the indian food we…
