sweeten with stevia packets

I have spent the last 3 years trying to figure out why my stomach was the one area I couldn't improve and then I went on a gluten & grain free diet and lost the last 10 lbs I have been fighting with. I did get the leaky gut syndrome and it was all because I was just gluten sensitive not allergic or celiac. To me gluten is…

A smoothie including 1 cup almond milk, 1 frozen banana, 2 handfuls spinach, 1 1/2 tbsp. hemp seed & berries of some kind .

My husband proposed to me on Halloween by putting my ring in a lighted ring box inside a jack-o-lantern. He has a poem and everything! Love him!

If you go onto youtube and look for vegan dressings you will find so many options it will blow you away! I have learned so many new ones lately. Or raw dressings. The raw foodies have a lot of low or no fat dressing ideas!

Congratulations on your accomplishment!!

I eat whole foods as my snacks. Also I like to bake so I bake healthy gluten free muffins, corn bread etc. Bananas are big on my list I buy like 7 bundles a week.

I DO NOT believe in a low carb life style any longer. I had done it for several years and I recently read a book called the Starch Solution by John McDougall. That book has changed the way I view food forever! I gave up gluten, meat & dairy recently and I have never felt better. I eat a high carb diet similar to the…

A calorie is a calorie is not my idea of health. The more raw the better. Gods food is perfect in everyway. The mentality that a calorie is a calorie is why we have so many obese people in the world. Even our nutritionists preach this and it's not true or helpful in my opinion.

I have mad so many changes in the last 2 years. Went gluten free, dairy free & meat free. Johh McDougalls book The Starch Solution and 80/10/10 by Douglas Graham have changed my life forever. I'm happy and I'm free no more caloric restrictions.

I am 5'6" and 150 lbs which I have been maintaining for the last year. It is not my goal weight and I work out 5/6 days a week also. I do a lot of research on health and nutrition and I have finally had some awesome break throughs. I am losing weight again, happy and satisfied all the time. I have stopped restricting my…

I have a suggestion don't know if you have ever tried the Chi Flat Iron but it's a really great one for curls. I would also reccomend coconut oil as a protectant from the heat of the flat iron and also it's just great to help condition and keep your hair in beautiful shape. I use virgin unrefined coconut oil. I am a hair…

Also I forgot to mention that going gluten free has helped me to kick my sugar cravings/carbs! I don't feel like I can't control myself anymore :)

I have known about my PCOS for about 3-4 years. When I first found out I went on Metformin and a low carb diet. I really disliked the Metformin and eventually stopped using it. I lost a lot of weight at first and then just kept even for awhile. I recently saw a chiropractor who told me abou the link between gluten…

Hemp seeds contain 174 calories per 3 tbsp., with 13.5 g of fat, 11 g of protein and only 2 g of carbohydrates. In the book "Eat Right for Life," author Raymond A. Schep notes that hemp seeds contain up to 24 percent protein, including all eight essential amino acids. Hemp seeds are high in calcium, magnesium, phosphorus,…

I have some ideas that may help you. I deal with a child who has egg, peanut and gluten allergies. I use hemp seed and spirulina in a smoothie. You can put hemp or spirulina into other things as well like oatmeal. Hemp is very high in protein, amino acid and omegas. Spirulina has one of the highest protein contents in the…

I feel as though if your making the choice as a woman than you know what your signing up for. The end. Everything is a choice.

Body sculpting bible for Men. I used the one for Women when I was starting out. I also Suggest Chalean Extreme. It's awesome I am doing it for my second time. It has men and women in it. http://www.amazon.com/dp/1578262380/?tag=mh0b-20&hvadid=1696020595&ref=pd_sl_25rrxlkuwu_e

I have been using coconut oil for the last 2 years and I don't have this probelm, but I usually put it in my smoothies which usually have banana, coconut milk, hemp seeds and various things depending on the day. Are you eating breakfast or just the coffee and CO? If your not eating breakfat then you should start. Coconut…

If your looking for something not to expensive then Nature Valley has a protein bar it's peanut butter & chocolate and it's delicious. It has 10 grams of protein.

Yes diet coke is a synthetic chemical slush of nastiness. Let me take this time to mention I really like it. It actually spikes insulin levels and can cause you to be hungrier than you were before you drank it. I have almost completely kicked the habit and replaced with iced tea sweetened with stevia or a soda called Zevia…

bodyrock.tv is my favorite free site and of course youtube. I have also done Insanity, Chalean Extreme and I'm currently in the last 2 weeks of Tapout XT, also all the Jillian Michaels DVD. I love the sandbag videos on youtube because I own one. Also the Ugi ball is nifty and has a workout book that comes with it.
