Hi! I’m on day 3. No appetite which allows me to make good choices!! My blood sugar was 79 today!! Trying to eat low carb.

I'm on day 3 of THM! I don't even have the book yet, and certainly haven't purchased any crazy ingredients! I used the info i found on the internet and started with a few simple healthy meals! So far I've lost 4 lbs! I have about 50 to lose! I feel like this way of eating long term is very do-able! If nayone who is…

Yes! You face looks so much thinner, and your tummy!! You look much younger! Great job!! So happy for you!!!

That's great!! Walking for exercise and eating low carb is how my Mom controls her diabetes.

Also wanted to note.... Be careful with soy items. Soy is ok when fermented like soy sauce, tofu, miso etc. but I've read some info that says processed soy items are problematic. Do your own research, google it or ask someone you trust. I am sort of a granola type but from what i've read all that processed soy protein and…

I do gluten free and dairy free, plus corn, soy and caffeine free. It's tough but there are tons of options!! I do a smoothie for breakfast, salad for lunch and fish or chicken with veggie and either potatoes or rice for dinner. Snacks are nuts, pumpkin seeds or brown rice sushi. It's really helped me lose weight these…

I wouldn't touch the stuff! Poison!! http://products.mercola.com/sweet-deception/

Congrats! You look GREAT!!!! Keep up the good work!!

Congrats!! Your mom must be so proud of you!! Great job!!

YEP! And if you buy organic grass fed beef, with out all the hormones and antibiotics in it, it's as good for you as wild salmon!! Has Omega 3s and CLA which actually helps you burn fat!! I love a delish Grass Fed Beef Burger!!!

Ezekiel 4:9 English muffins and wraps are amazing too. Better than the bread that they are famous for!!!! NO wheat, all live sprouted grains which digest easily.

I'm doing a Renew Life organic Cleanse. 14 days long. i've been on it for 5 days so far. I've lost 5 lbs, so that's good news!! I'm going check out the ingredients in both to see how they differ.

They could be gluten free if you don't put the flour in. I found a yummy recipe in this month's Eating Well magazine that uses raw honey and almond butter as the glue. I'll find it and post it tonight!!

Love it on an apple as a snack!! Whole Foods has it fresh in the bulk department. You grind as much as you need! No added oil or sugar, just fresh almonds ground up smooth! Delish!!!!

I stay away from any artificial sweetners. Chemicals in your lemonade?? Not for me!! Try green tea with lemon and stevia!! Tastes really good and good for you!! http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/10/13/Artificial-Sweeteners-More-Dangerous-than-You-Ever-Imagined.aspx

LOL! Siobhan! That's my dream day, not my usual day! I try to stay low carb b/c my Mom is type 2 diabetic and she preaches the evils of carbs and what they do to blood sugar. So far I am able to keep my blood sugar int he normal ranges, especially when eating low carb.. Sometimes though (most times) I add in a little…

I don't find anything in the post where something is being sold. Just an alternative idea to weight loss. I happen to like green juices. Tastes good and full of live enzymes!! Sometimes I do a celery, cucumber, kale, lemon and green apple juice!! Cleanses my liver and tastes great!!

OK, here's mine: B: 2 hardboiled eggs, coffee with half/half L: ezekiel wrap with 3 oz turkey and fresh veggies, green tea D: 2 cups steamed brocolli and cauliflower with 4-6 oz. fish or chicken Snack 1: apple with 2 tablesppons almond butter, Snack 2: serving of Mary's gone crackers flax seed, sesame seed and quinoa…

Wow!! You must be sooo proud!! What an inspiring story!

Welcome! I am just starting out on this site but love the way i can keep track of all my foods! Stay focused and motivated!!

I love it with pesto!! I use spinach, basil, walnuts, lots of garlic and a little olive oil and grated parm! Great hot or cold!!!

A benefit of fasting is that it gives your over burdened liver a break from processing everything you eat. And it can help detox, but i think eating whole natural foods is the best way to lose weight!

Love sun dried tomatoes too!! Sooo good! i chop them up and toss them into my veggie wrap!!

Here's some scary info about Splenda.... http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2003/08/23/splenda-part-one.aspx I only use Stevia and raw honey. I think all artificial sweetners are scary!

http://www.renewlife.com/ I got the Organic Whole Body Cleanse.

Congrats on your good choice!!!

Ezekiel sprouted grain wrap filled with 2 tablespoons of artichoke spinach spread (Whole Foods) , shredded carrot, red onion, green peppers, spinach leaves and 1/4 avocado. Delish!!!

I'm in!! I'm 45 mom of 3 (11, 9 and 3) I need to lose 68 lbs! I'd love to be your (and everybody else's) buddy!! This is day 2 on this site and I love it!! Sherry
