That is because Vitamin D is what helps your body absorb calcium. If you are deficient in Vitamin D (like most people are) then you are much more likely to develop Osteo because you cannot fully absorb the calcium you consume. The calcium Recommendation is actually much more accurate than the Vitamin D recommendation. RDA…

Dairy is not just milk though. Its on the MyPlate (we no longer use the pyramid) for the calcium and other nutrients you find in diary products. But you can get these from soy milk, almond milk, yogurt, cheese (though cheese is higher in fat) and other dairy products. Almond and soy milk are great alternatives because they…

Yes and no. yes carbs are converted to sugar but this sugar is what our bodies use for energy for those first 30 minutes of aerobic exercise. For proper brain function you need to maintain at least 120g of carbohydrates a day. Less than that and you will be tired due to no energy for your body. You will also feel "foggy".…

Just keep practicing, Add in some regular push ups to your daily exercise so that you are able to start doing push up jacks later: Move Fit Test 1 Switch Kicks 32 (64 total but you count it as 2 kicks=1 count :( ) Power Jacks 40 Power Knees 60 Power Jumps 20 Globe Jumps 4 Suicide Jumps 10 Push-Up Jacks 14 Low Plank Oblique…

Anything you see advertised online for weight loss is usually going to be a gimmick. Its a waste of money, and actually has a warning on one of the ingredients because it is derived from ground up insects.---- Carmine (/ˈkɑrmɪn/ or /ˈkɑrmaɪn/), also called Crimson Lake, Cochineal, Natural Red 4,[1] C.I. 75470,[1] or E120,…

I try to log in everyday, usually struggle more on the weekend. But if I don't record that day I do the next. I try to log in regularly so if you want to add me feel free. I'm also a registered dietitian.

To whoever had emailed me the link to the Insanity videos-could you please resend me that link. I accidently deleted your message :(

Adorable. I have owned a purebred pit before and there was not an ounce of mean in her. I currently own 2 pitbull shepherd mixes and they are the same. No mean in them. I also own 2 Dobermans, one is still a pup. 25 pounds at 11 weeks old! she is gonna be a big one. Just ignore the one hater on the thread and keep up the…

Hello, I have just ordered my Insanity videos and expect to receive them Wednesday the 18th. So I will likely start Friday the 20th since I have bowling Thursday. I'm a little scared to start as I am horribly out of shape, but look forward to this helping me get back to my college look of flat stomach and in shape. I'm…

Hello Hello, My name is Kimberly. I just ordered the Insanity DVDs and should receive them Wednesday the 18th. Which means I will probably start them Friday the 20th. Not sure what is in store, but pretty sure its going to kick my butt. As long as I get in shape I will be happy though.

Ideal weight range (meaning for your height-and to be within a normal BMI---yes I know this is not the best tool to use, but it is a tool to use) for 5'6" woman is about 117 (BMI: 18.9) to about 151 (BMI: 24.5).

I can see a slight difference, but it does not look like you gained. To me the top portion of your tummy looks a little more fit. Just remember you didn't put it on overnight so it wont come off overnight. We cannot pick where we burn off fat either. Take measurements of your hips, waist, stomach, arms, etc. Compare those…

WHAT!! Santa isn't real!! I don't believe it. I know he is real, and he has flying reindeer. Its nice to have something magical to believe in sometimes. I was never crushed about Santa, but at the same time I still believe...so take it as you will.

Do you still use it?

I'm just trying to find it cheaper because we don't over $100 to spend on it if we want to pay all our bills. I'm stretching finances as is just to get bills paid, and food in the house. Which adds stress, then I tend to gain or at least not lose. I'm not looking for the deluxe kit with the mats or anything, Just wanting…

I had not thought of that. just did a quick search and ours are mainly $100. There is one that is just the DVD's for $60, but I am hoping to get the full kit. Thanks for the idea though.

10 + 3 bonus=13. At least the kits Ive been looking have the 3 bonus

There is no such thing. Same with eating at a deficit-you are burning fat and protein (protein first). You have to add exercise in there to truly burn fat. The key is that for the first 30 minutes of aerobic exercise you are using up your glucose and glycogen stores. After 30 minutes you turn to burning fat. So you want to…

I'm thinking about doing the Spartan Race in Montana next year. Having trouble getting motivated to start training though. Especially with the thought of running, since I have never ran in my life. Any tips for me?

Usually the plain tilapia would be cooked in either oil or butter (basically skillet fried) where the crusted will be baked.

A type 2 diabetic does have higher blood glucose levels due to either not producing enough insulin, or insulin resistance. However that does not mean they don't have hypoglycemia (low blood glucose) if they skip a meal. I see many Diabetics (type 2) in my practice that have high A1Cs (3 month average of blood sugar levels)…

I had a boyfriend who was like that once. I wound up not talking to any of my male friends because it wasn't worth a fight with him. Definitely not right. My fiancé doesn't care that I have male friends, he has a ton of female friends, and I don't mind. There is always some jealousy there, but as long as you are open in…
