  • Fruits are extremely healthy and I wouldn't limit them at all. If you're concerned, perhaps add some activity to increase your needed carbs. And, add a little more *kitten* to your diet to reach your calorie goal perhaps.

  • I'm a nurse who used to work in reproductive endocrinology. In getting patients with PCOS pregnant, they would first be put on birth control for one month to induce a period. Once the period begins you start to monitor for an attempt to get pregnant during the next cycle. You may need to get your progesterone level tested…

  • Did you stay within your nutritional goals? No Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? No What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Was able to eat a ton of food and still keep my calories very low. What would I have done differently? written down things as I ate them, because at the end of the night I realized I had…

  • Did you stay within your nutritional goals? yes Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? yes What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? went for a run when I REALLY didn't feel like it. What would I have done differently? probably filled up on veggies earlier in the day so I wasn't hungry the whole darn day. What are…

  • 135 minimum per day is what I was taught in my nutrition class. I'm in nursing school, and apparently there have been a lot of people getting extremely ill from these low carb diets. Your brain, and all of your body's cells need carbs as their main energy source. Relying on fat for energy is dangerous enough to kill you.…

  • I LOVE fruit and vegetables so I cannot relate! Are there any veggies that you do like? Any particular way you like them cooked? Anything you like to eat them with? Maybe chopped up in like a slaw? Do you like cole slaw? Hummus? Veggies on your burgers/sandwhiches? I have lots of ideas if I can get an idea of what you can…

  • PCOS doesn't just stop and restart again with weight gain or loss, but weight loss significantly helps manage symptoms. While getting a diagnosis of PCOS isn't necessary in my opinion, it is important to have your period at least 4 times a year to prevent getting osteoporosis at a very young age. You should see your doctor.

  • Mine is around 50-55 when I'm not anemic. Currently around 64. I'm studying to be a registered nurse, and it may be beneficial to understand some basics of blood flow. Lower heart rate IS ABSOLUTELY associated with better cardiovascular health. The brain generally does a good job of setting your heart rate where it needs…

  • I think part of eating cleanly is avoiding excessive animal protein. I'm certainly no vegetarian, but I try to eat red meat only once a month, and other types of meat only 2-3 times per week if that. Any meal should include a balance of protein, fat, and carbs. If you're eating animal sources of protein then you're getting…

  • Carbohydrates are so important for your overall health, and so many people here are eating way less than they should be. This is very dangerous and can cause you very serious health problems up to and including sudden death. I'm a nursing student and in my nutrition studies we learn that NOBODY should eat below about 135…
    in How many carbs do you eat per day? Comment by scroogy December 2013
  • After looking at several of the diaries I notice there is a huge trend of people eating lots of processed foods. Yogurts, bars, processed vegetables, etc. there is also a huge lack of fresh fruits and vegetables, which is what our diets should be based upon. I bet if everybody incorporated more fresh and whole foods in…

  • I'm 5'4 and currently weigh 133.5. My goal weight is 125. I'm quite active and in good shape, but just want my body to have a bit of a chiseled look. At this weight, even 2-3 lbs changes the look of my body. I have a toned muscular body, but have a layer of fat that just needs to go. I was at 129 at one point and felt like…
