[ The number of calories burned by resting muscles isn't really large enough to make much of a difference just by adding a few pounds of muscle. Although people waffle on about "adding muscle to make yourself a calorie burning machine" it's either hyperbole or misunderstanding. Off the top of my head I think the difference…

thanks everyone who replied. I will look into this further...:smile:

I will look into these, thanks!

still rice-same shape, cant do it

I havent tried this, sounds promising!

Thats why I didnt put it in the original post:indifferent:

cauliflower sounds good to try, and Ill look into other couscous. Thanks for the replies so far:smile:

Couscous is just pasta, so try a different one that doesn't make you gag.....btw what is the unfortunate occurrence you speak of, curious. The unfortunate event was cooking a pot of rice and seeing it move. There were worms in it and I cant get that image out of my head so I cant eat rice anymore.

If you are up for taking supplements, vitex (chasteberry) is for this problem. It is supposed to balance the hormones and help with "female issues". Ive been taking it for about 4 months and I see a little difference, my husband said he sees a difference. You can research it and see if it is for you. *it takes a while to…

here is a link to comment on this to the FDA, I dont know if it will make any difference in the end, but... https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2013/02/20/2013-03835/flavored-milk-petition-to-amend-the-standard-of-identity-for-milk-and-17-additional-dairy-products and the article from a different place:…

I have had anxiety and panic attacks for the last 6 years and what helped me a lot was a free website called panicend.com. Its a site that explains what is going on in your mind and body and they have a message board like this so you can get help and advice from other people that have gone through what you are now going…

I was also having pain in the right side for about 5 years now off and on. At first they thought it was my gall bladder but then said no. I had another ultrasound last year and the Gastro Dr. said my liver had some fat but didnt exactly say fatty liver. He told me not to lose any weight ( he thinks im too thin) and just…

I am just reading a book the sneaky chef, where she purees vegetables and other healthy foods and then adds them to foods most people like without any notice of the veggies. I bought it for myself mostly because I am very picky also and I would like to eat more veggies but I am very sensitive to texture and smells.…

I had the same problem a while ago, everything tasted like sawdust in my mouth. All I could tolerate was carrots, apples and soft tacos from taco bell. It was hard but it was from stress/ anxiety. It did get better but I had to force myself sometimes to eat, because I was definitely not getting enough calories or nutients.

The 1st time I did it , I did it without any weights and my arms were still sore!! I use 3lbs now but I have been thinking about moving up to 5 for some of the moves. I would think 10 would be heavy to start, unless youre already strong!

Food is preventative medicine, but also can correct some problems. For instance, if you have high blood pressure, it can be corrected with a proper diet.

Teaching my kids math and latin :laugh:

Exploited at the olympic auditorium instead of going to prom! So much better!

That is good news since you will need that skill in level 2! I could barely walk after the first day of level 1 and I did it without weights! Now , after a month of 30DS I look forward to doing it.

Almond milk cheese popcorn peanut butter clementines or apples

I have the same problem:I had 5 kids and my stomach is far from flat

nobody knows of one????

Great info - no one needs to drink soda anyway but here some reasons to quit now!

I always liked the name alabama for a girl but when I saw my daughter, somehow it just didnt fit so she is cassandra. My first daughter was supposed to be raven but she didnt look like a raven to me so she is karissa. Sometimes you have to see the baby first and then the name comes. My dad wanted to name me crystal…

I usually take elderberry syrup during the flu season or whenever anyone is sick.Its supposed to be good against viruses. and it doesnt taste too bad.

You are awesome! I love clean teeth!

I agree this country is going down for many reasons but in my opinion it is still better than any other. so far...

I used to cut up avocado and mix it in with cottage cheese.
