I started using a probiotic / enzyme combo (12 listed on the bottle ) along with some other suppliments when I started a low-ish carb plan, all doctor prescribed. I've lost weight, but I'm sure that's the diet, not the probiotics. But I've always had constipation issues, more so when doing low carb, but not this time. For…

Boredom can trick me into thinking I am hungry. I chug down some water -just not a sipper - then set myself a task. Something that would take at least 15 minutes to do. Maybe an hour. No timers. Most times I forget I was ever "hungry" and move on to a new project.

Depends. Most Americans never had good bread -or at least don't recognize it. Bread should include only flour, salt, yeast and water. It should have a chewy crust and good tooth.

Wake up, pee, strip, weigh. I aim for every day, but usually get in about 5 a week. Record the weight on Fridays. Weighing in is my time to reflect back on what I did right or wrong over the last few days, consider how I feel and determine how I want to proceed. I find that if I am not weighing it is because I am avoiding…

My D.O. recommended this cleanse - which she sold to me for $24. That is 5 cents more than the price on line. Where your nutritionist came up with $250 is confusing. I imagine that there were a great deal of additional purchases as well. The DO insisted that I maintain a clean diet and drink a lot of water during this, but…

I am 5'2". My lightest adult weight was 104. That was not my best. I looked sickly and you could count my ribs at a hundred paces. My best weight was about 123.

Yeah, when my mom was wasting away from not eating because the chemo made her sick, I kept thinking, "when does the alleged starvation mode kick in?"
