I did not have any choice as I started having issues with white flour.. so my choice became - do I never ever eat pasta again? That was not going to happen.. so I started on whole wheat pasta & have been trying different recipe's now & actually enjoy it. There are lots of pasta options out there (saw a variety at Whole…

akasullengal - I am eating maybe 1/4 of my exercise cal back. I am set to lose 1.5lb/wk. I am netting about 850-1100 cals a day (that is including exercise). Only Saturday did I go to 1149 cals.

few additional things: 1) I have changed the labels on my meals recently, so if you go back.. it might seem puzzling.. though you can still see what I ate for the day. 2) I am currently set to 30% carbs; 40% protein & 30% fat 3) No inches lost either:-( I am netting about 850-1100 cals a day (that is including exercise).…

Get professional advice.. aka a Dr's & any therapy he recommends. In the long run, you will need to start strengthening your core & back, so that all else is then easier. I have had two car accidents & back issues related to that. I needed to get surgery for my last issue.. but after all the recovery & inflammation…

If you plan to make them from scratch.. adding chopped ginger before you start cooking.... will take care of any gas issue you have.

I have used it for making whole lentils, with chopped onion, ginger, garlic, salt, pepper & water. And the slow cooked taste is amazing. You should be able to take any chilli recipe, add a lean meat like a lean ground turkey, some kidney beans & all the other ingredients & water & have it ready by evening. Though since I…
