Rule of thumb for consistent exercise: takes 6 weeks to see real changes in your own body, 10 weeks for your friends and family to notice, 12+ weeks for co-workers, acquaintances, the rest of the world. Anything you see see before those times is just gravy, but don't get discouraged if you don't see big changes right away.…

If you want something nutrient dense, you can try smoothies. Big ones are great meal replacements, especially if on-the-go, and packed with calories and nutrition. Banana+ greens + protein powder+ nut butter or avocado + other fruit/veg + whatever else tastes good = healthy and calorie dense.

I looked into it a bit online, and the counts vary drastically depending on the site. The general consensus off the most reputable sites is that hot yoga burns more calories, but not by much, about 200/hr. I do Bikram regularly and just log it under vinyasa, I figure its better to underestimate calorie burn than…

Hummus with veggies, brown rice cakes with nut butter, hardboiled eggs are all good options. It may sound weird, but thecandidadiet.com has lots of recipes and suggestions for those following a low-sugar diet, even if candida itself isn't an issue.

It can seem like a lot to someone who is used to calorie restricting to the degree you have (I did it for years as well), but getting protein and fiber into your body before anything else will…

I worked out and logged religiously for nearly 2 months and saw no weight loss, even eating at a deficit. Then it was like my body had spent that time getting into gear and I lost 15lbs in a hurry. Now I'm able to eat more and am still losing weight. I found following the program and letting your body work at its own pace…

I found my attitude changed when I accepted that weight loss was going to take a long time, and that there was no quick fix. When I finally truly accepted that I wasn't going to have the body I wanted in 6 weeks, or even in 6 months, I stopped concentrating on the fact that I currently wasn't where I wanted to be and…

Here's another great blog, I've never made a recipe off of it I didn't like. It's vegetarian/vegan, but she does an excellent job of outlining the need for various nutrients in the diet, maybe learning more about how foods impact the body will help your husband be more open to healthier options. Worked with mine!…
