I mix unsweetened cocoa powder and stevia into my coffee in the morning. Tastes like a mocha :)

Inspiring.

Your cholesterol numbers will be different depending on whether you do fasting or nonfasting labs. Before you take the meds I would ask your doctor if you could redo the labs and make sure that you are fasting when they are done.

I've been trying to do as much research as I can. ...and I found dr. Jason fung and IF. He explains really well why and how it works and how it cures type 2 diabetes as well. Here's a link to YouTube. I tried fasting for more than a day and couldn't do it. It's so hard. :/ anyway, here's the link, and if anyone has tips on…

I think what you want is to lose fat, right? You're weight lifting and doing cardio which is awesome. Keep it up! :) you should probably eat closer to 3000 or 4000 calories I imagine if you want to build muscle but still lose fat. More protein and veggies and carbs that will fill you up, like oatmeal or potatoes or…

please count me in! thank you! :)

good job!! it's hard to see changes when you're looking at yourself in the mirror everyday. yay! :) :drinker:

I've done TRX before, and the cool thing about it is that you can always change the angle of the straps to fit your strength. I say go for it! :)

After months of paying a trainer and having really awesome results, I've decided to get my CPT cert also. Acutally, over the past 10 years I've had 5 different trainers, and while some were definitely better than others, all of them got me results--and like I said, some results were definitely better than others. I've…

I had the same "problem" for the past 3 months..... although people keep telling me I look like I've lost too much weight, when I really didn't lose ANY weight at all! lol! :) just bodyfat! :) I was previously eating about .8-1 gram protein per pound of body weight that I *wanted* to be.... so I *want* to be 120 pounds, so…

I ran a 9 minute mile. :)

does it taste like regular mayo? last time I tried it, it wasn't like regular mayo at all. :(

I think you're awesome for quitting smoking!! :flowerforyou:

i'm 5'3", trying to get to 118 pounds and 20% bf, and am trying to lose some muscle. crazy. i know. :] eta : i race motorsports, so i'm trying to get super strong and as light as possible. :)

somtimes i'll find things that are 0 net carbs.... all fiber, i recently re-discovered jicama, it tastes like asian pear but is 100% fiber. and cucumber. filling things that are 0 net calories. yum! :)

don't hate!!! lol!! :)

pop tarts, but you HAVE to put them in the toaster. I've been eating them raw all these years, but the toaster makes all the difference in the world! :) s'mores pop tarts ftw! :D

wow! everyone looks great in these pics, and I don't know if it's been said before, but after losing weight, everyone looks so much younger too!! some of you look like you went back 20 years! :flowerforyou:

I've tried the healthwise bakery brand bread with sugar free log cabin syrup and almond butter/regular butter. it's really good. I'm going to try sugar free honey…

Congratulations!! :drinker:

Thanks! I'm going to do that right now!!

Day 4 : Thank goodness it's over! Weight : 134.5 BF% : 28% Goals : 1. Did it break my plateau? YES. 2. Did it put me into keto? YES. 3. Did I lose fat and spare muscle? NO.

I appreciate you saying that! Thank you! :)

yeah, you guys are right. I was thinking I could eat 1000 calories a day of anything - whether it's carbs, protein or fat, and have the exact same results. last week before the fat fast I was eating around 1800-2000 calories a day but not losing, which was frustrating. But I felt good. now I just feel like crap! I'm just…
