If it was lunch time and my financial budget had room for eating out, I would probably get lunch at the store, eat, then shop (it has picnic tables out front). Maybe a salad from the salad bar, sushi, or a yogurt/skyr and some fruit and meat, something like that. If my plan was to eat at home immediately after, I would…

I forget about the little activities of summer that don’t seem that significant or strenuous (mowing the lawn, tending the garden) that start up around now and generally prompt some summer weight loss. That might not apply to you in your location, though!

My favorite salad “dressing” is fresh squeezed lime juice with Trader Joe’s chili lime seasoning sprinkled all over! But I love very tart salads!

All of this. I find that a brisk walk makes me feel SO much better and sometimes gets me in the mood to do something more strenuous. A nice long (1 hr) walk reduces my cramps. Also, drinking LOADS of water, while it increases the flow, shortens the days I bleed. I always make myself do something on heavy flow days, even…

I think that theory is true, to an extent. If I ate 15 chicken breasts in a day, I would most certainly not feel healthy. However, I eat a high-fat, low-carb diet and find that what I WANT to eat is consistently under my caloric goal. For me, it's not so much that I eat low-carb because that means I can eat more, but that…

A couple of things... When you first get started weight won't necessarily fall off immediately. My suggestion would be to not weigh yourself for a few weeks and give your body time to adjust to new levels of activity and new foods. I haven't weighed myself in years (I even look away at my annual weigh-in at the doctor).…
