Absolutely wonderful information as this is new research for me! For a while I thought I had PCOS or a list of other things as I ended up having many hormonal issues and just today was put on steroids for Gout!! Which I thought was a terrible ankle sprain! It has definitely been one hell of a ride for me and I am ALL ABOUT…

THANK YOU so much for the great info! This makes me very hopeful for progress. I will have to try to be patient as I seem to have lost some of this character trait over time with excessive and obsessive food management and exercise. I recently sprained my ankle and it has given me the time to realize a lot For example: I…

I am not Keto, but I am a clean eater and JUST started trying Paleo..which has quite a few similarities to keto in that since my diet is mainly meet and vegetables it is inherently lowish carb. If this is of some help or interest feel free to send an add.

good luck! That's a fantastic goal and just think of all the food your going to earn afterwards lol!

Personally I can understand your frustration. I am too "recovering" from too far of calorie restriction for a long length of time and honestly its going to take a lot longer than you think to fix the damage that was done to your metabolism and for your body to trust you again. Right now it sounds like with the bloat and…

All fantastic advice here, but I second the complete denial. I am very weak minded when it comes to the "sugars"...it could even be something deemed somewhat healthier such as trail mix or even grapes/apples!!. You will find me 5 servings deep before I've hit enough guilt to want to never let myself eat again. I am keeping…

go girl! good for you :) You'll be at your goal in no time!

Every body reacts to change differently. There are the known and the unknown with any dietary change. So take all opinions lightly and just find what works for you. Give ketosis a try and if it works, fantastic and if it doesn't...there are plenty of other ways to try to create a healthy lifestyle. A co worker of mine…

all you need to know is that if you make proper choices, balanced meals and don't wait until the point that your starving to eat...you will lose weight. 1200 may be too low for you or too aggressive of a cut. with that many children running around i'm willing to bet you are still fairly active. Try making some small…

I eat 5 meals a day. I prep meals 2, 3 and sometimes 4 since those are eaten during times when I am away from home (work). This week I even prepped part of meal 1 just for variation. Which was pumpkin/cinnamon steel cut oats in the crock pot. I made 3 portions Meals 2 , 3 and 4 usually consist of these items that I prep…

Side note: I do take 2 digestive enzymes with food a day because it helps with the breakdown of a higher protein diet for me personally. (i.e....creates more regular bowel movements)

my fitness instructor preaches at least 20-30g per meal (based on 5 meal plan) or .8-1g per lb of body weight. I aim for 160-180g per day and feel wonderful doing such. I am 5'5 177lbs and about 29% BF

1 whole egg 4 egg whites 1/2 c steel cut oats I LOVE my oats and I could seriously eat them everyday 3 times a day. I flavor my eggs sometimes with spinach/onion and garlic and oats with blueberries and cinnamon A backup breakfast would be a cookies n cream protein pancake made just by mixing my whey with egg whites and a…

reliable references on this information???

slow wayyyyyy down, not with your goals and motivation, but with your expectations. I know it is SOOOO hard when you feel like you've totally busted *kitten* and rocked that **** out that you DESERVE to see exactly what you want...but unfortunately it doesn't work that way. Stay on track with your food and exercise and…

You totally posted this at just the right time because I just got done with a nutrition class on pre and post workout fuel. The gist of the whole thing is that if you aren't fueling (and with the proper things) before and after workouts (ANNNND in a correct tie frame) then your workout is considered a bust. pre and post…

Try to just work on creating a balanced plate. 1/4 complex carb (like brown rice or yam) 1/4 lean protein (like ground turkey or chicken) and 1/2 vegetables (the greener the better) and add a little healthy fat such as coconut oil or avacado Shop in terms of one plate and prep a few meals and you will get the hang of it in…

"I drink less in winter because it's not as hot out and I need less. " I could be wrong, but I've heard that we actually need more water in the winter months than the summer because the air is dry and we don't absorb much moisture through our skin. (hence chapped lips, dry hands and other body parts). Side note * - Once…

A dietician is not going to get more patients or referrals by making them unhappy. You may be asked to step outside of your comfort zone in the sake of positive change. But I think if you embrace it and do as they tell you that you will prosper. I'm certain it is scary, but have faith and trust that these people have a lot…

I have the answer to this 100%...I am a recent recovering sugarholic!! It seemed I let myself have one thing and it led to another and another and another and well...before ya know it I thought "i better cut this out or i'm never going to get to my goals" and I found that I simply couldn't do it. I HAD to have that ice…

*cheers* I learned this the hard way as well. I screwed up my hormones. Quit getting my menstrual cycle for nearly a year and it took me nearly another year to fix all the damage I had done. I gained a few lbs back in the process, but I am officially healthy despite that and am now doing this the RIGHT way to lose the rest…

nobody? Is everyone hung over from new years yet? lol

Um...FALSE...nuff said.

This is the harsh truth. For me...I had to hit rock bottom. Get truly upset, pissed off, have a cry, make a list of things that are bothering me and a list of goals I have for myself. Neither one will change if I don't make them. I am an all or nothing kind of gal so for me I had to hit bottom and then find my motivation…

Thank you all sincerely for your thoughtfulness! I was somewhat hesitant to post on the forum because I am no rookie here and I know some of the heartless and insensitive things that people say behind a computer screen. I will absolutely be looking to expand my spice rack and food variety as I will admit I have become…
