She didn't give advice but rather invited OP to look at her diary then add her as a friend if desired. This is one reason diaries should be kept closed because they just become a huge problem in the forums. If that is what this person is existing on (don't know because I didn't look at her diary) then yes, there is a…

In fairness, she did not give advise to OP. She said to look at her diary then add her as a friend if OP wanted to. No advice. Whether OP decides to add her as a friend is up to OP.

I didn't look at her diary because she was not asking for help, so it is no one's business what she eats. If she asks for help then an honest approach is best. Folks forget that as we age, we tend to become less active meaning we require less food BUT any advice should be based on the individual situation. I am in my mid…

We back onto a field. When the crops come off, the mice come in or at least they did until we got the house well sealed. It is an ongoing, always on the lookout for the little critters to get in. Our last house was a centipede mecca. I absolutely detest them! Ortho Home Defense works well to keep the centipedes and other…

I'm 5'1". All of my kids are considerably taller than I am. They pat me on the head calling me their 'little momma'.

Yes and put it's head on a stick to warn other meeces to stay away!

This is why even when actively losing weight, I did not get hung up on the calorie issue. Obviously the calories in 2 kg of apples is considerably higher than the on average 150 g apple I eat so whether it is 149 g or 151 g or slightly higher in calories than the database, those few extra calories are not going to make a…

It does and for good measure with bacon :drinker: http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/132/72720/

AFAIK, working out while doing a juice cleanse is not recommended for the same reasons why you don't work out when sick. With respect to those being rude or negative, ignore them and close your diary. It is no one's business what you are eating or your activity level unless you ask for help here or for some reason decide…

Not likely. Low protein would severely cut into the protein powders and bars market meaning it would not be cost effective for those manufacturers who would fight a low protein movement tooth and nail!

It depends on the run/walk. The one we just completed was walkers on the left, runners on the right.

Hubby and I recently completed our first 5k walk. Our time was lower (him 59 min, mine 61 min) because we had the grandkids with us. Their parents were to run the 10k and 5k respectively but one dropped out of the 10k because of a respiratory illness. We were about 10 min into the walk when the first 10k runner passed us!…

OP asked for friends then the tread went off into tangents but a few posts back OP thanked everyone noting that she hadn't added anyone. Some on this thread have indicated they will add so go for it :flowerforyou:

Have you ever considered just for one moment that just because a diary is closed does not mean the person is hiding something? Twice on this thread, folks who were not the OP who only made comments were attacked for their diaries. What they choose to eat and how much is not yours or anyone else's business UNLESS they ask…

Good on you Chris :drinker: If more folks kept their diaries closed there wouldn't be near as much bashing on the forums!

This is precisely why diaries should be kept closed! It's none of your business until such time that she asks for help. OP, 1,200 to 1,300 calories per day is quite doable especially eating Paleo or clean. I do think that a 2 lb per week weight loss goal is too aggressive for you since you are already within your healthy…

Thankyou for this! I have never believed losing weight was a simple ,matter of calories in, calories out.

ACV is a fermented food aka high in probiotics.

Health is generally defined as the absence of disease.

There is nothing at all wrong with your methods! They will get you into a lot less trouble than some of the other methods tooted here.

Your liver may not be working at optimal level. There are a wide range of drugs and toxic chemicals (ingested, airborn, absorption) that can affect how well your liver is working. Most commonly, both alcohol and acetaminophen are hepatotoxic. Unless you have had a liver panel screen done, you don't know if your liver is…

Don't worry about it :flowerforyou: The haters are going to hate regardless of what you say. They don't like hearing what has worked for others which is just fine. Let them struggle on. Congrats that you have found what works for you!

One tablespoon of Bragg's ACV (organic, raw, unfiltered with the mother) is a good source of potassium and probiotics with zero calories. It does have a smoother taste than pasteurized ACV. I know some here will argue against the benefits of potassium and probiotics but for those of us who know the benefits, Bragg's ACV is…

Lone wolf here and keeping it that way!

I don't know about helping with weight loss but ACV does help with arthritis pain.

ACV is available in capsule form so you get the benefits without the taste. I personally don't mind the taste on salads but also take 2 capsules daily. Honey would be a better choice than splenda too not only for taste but health benefits. ACV is acidic so lemon juice which is also acidic is not the best choice for flavour…

Eating after a certain hour is a thing if you are doing IF or following the Essene Diet or similar where you are purposely creating a 14 hour (more or less depending on program) fasting period.

I'm following the Essene Diet for maintenance which does not restrict carbs but I still feel better eating lower carb. Most of my carb intake is not added sugar either. Like many, higher sugar intake does have negative side effects for me.

According to some experts, 'eating in moderation' with respect to weight loss is just an excuse to eat what you want. On the surface it seems appealing and benign but in the end will lead to regaining weight lost. That is evident even in the forums where some are on MFP for the second, third or even fourth time. If the eat…

I fully agree that sugar is addicting. The food industry relies heavily on sugar because it is cheap and it sells. It is not the sugar itself that is the problem but rather the sheer quantity of sugar that some ingest on a very regular basis. Those eating a high sugar diet will of course say there is nothing wrong with it…
