Love Pure Protein Plus powder and Costco sells Premier Protein in premixed. Pure is 140 cal, 23 gms of protein, and a good balance of vitamins. Premier is 160 cal and 30 gms protein. Both are on the cheaper side

My favorites are premier protein 160 cal (chocolate or strawberry) from Costco or pure protein plus 140 cal (only the powder not premix. The pure plus is loaded with vitamins

Honestly, I would do some blood sugar and thyroid testing. There are also several protein supplements that can be added to your diet as well. Try BCAA'S (I like USPLABS Modern BCAA) too

It's alright to have an opinion! You dont have to be sorry- As a nurse and having taken the very same diet and nutrition courses that a dietician/nutritionist has I can say that yes 800 calories seems very low but when you take into considerastion that I was eating 1200-1500 on a normal day and maintaining my weight at…

We are actually stalling the pregnancy plan for the time being- I refused to be almost 30 pounds heavier than normal when I got pregnant! I have had two children and never gained more than 20 pounds with my pregnancies which came off immediately. On any given day in the last ten years I have eaten around 1200-1500…

I love the idea of saving calories and splurging- have you seen the weekly average graph? I do a splurge day every Saturday (around 2000 calories instead of my normal 800) and my weight loss has been steady.

Hello- I am only a nurse and not a doctor but what you are describing is orthostatic hypotension. Simply put it means that your blood pressure drops (briefly) upon sitting upright or/and standing.

I joined a few months ago and played around with the idea of changing the way and amount of food I eat. I also bought a workout video a year ago in June, it stayed in the wrapper (I wasnt overweight then but I was looking to improve my health). It wasnt until Sunday that I honestly looked at myself and saw the pounds as…
