So sorry to hear about your new health issues! At least you know and are trying to get healthy. I would recommend checking out thepaleomom.com She is a medical research scientist turned stay at home mom and has great information on this topic. I have read about it, but don't remember what she said. She pretty much lays out…

I was wondering about the workouts. I will stop and do some different, less intense workouts to keep myself in a routine. Thanks for confirming my suspicions.

This is a great discussion. I am 12 days into keto and so far I love it. It is one of the easiest ways I've tried to lose weight. My body is smaller already, probably water weight, but hey it's still stuff that needs to come off. Once I discovered bulletproof coffee, I have been able to get enough fat in my diet and things…

Hi there! I completely understand falling off the wagon! I did that for a couple of months and gained back everything I lost before that. 12 days ago, my fiancée and I committed ourselves to keto and so far it's been great. I've lost 4lbs, water weight I'm sure but I do look a lot better everywhere. I am just getting back…

I've made my own breakfast sandwiches before and put them in freezer exactly like you are saying. Mine also had homemade sausage! I made the eggs and froze them in a bag by themselves laid flat in the freezer. I have mixed all sorts of things in my eggs, I prefer to chop them up pretty small and mix the eggs together and…

check out youtube for fitness videos. There are a lot of channels you can subscribe to so you get new videos when they come out as well. I love blogilates too! Piyo is my current fav!

I don't look at the nutrient density of my food as a factor in my weight loss. I actually gained weight for a couple of months by not being motivated and disciplined all while eating clean, nutrient dense food, just waaaay too much of it. So for weight loss sake, yes calories burned v calories in is a tried and true method…

I'm not sure about the Sparkling ICE as I haven't looked at the ingredients. I do try to avoid artificial sweeteners and chemicals. Definitely give La Croix a try. It's soda water with natural flavors from the essence of fruit oils. My fiancée and I have been drinking them for months and LOVE them.

I will agree with the previous posters, you should not feel crabby or have craving on low carb. I was amazed what a difference eating enough healthy fats. It was definitely a switch in my thinking. My favorites are avocados, coconut oil (to cook with), olive oil (to drizzle on top or for salad dressings), grass-fed butter,…

To actually answer your question, I think it's better to eat a little more and exercise. Just my non medical opinion. I have over eaten almost everyday in the past 10 days and lost 4lbs, maybe water weight but it has happened. Just my experience.

I am not sure if you are following a specific diet or just eating within your calories each day. I would recommend trying to find a diet plan that is in line with your goals so you can set your macronutrient levels accordingly. Off the top of my head, I would say maybe you need more protein, to help with your energy level.…

I would not purchase those he mentioned. I would look at your macros and see what you are needing. Right now, I take Alive women's daily and 250mg of magnesium. I like the Alive since it comes from plant based sources which are better for your body to absorb. I think I need to add iron as last week, my first full week of…

thepaleomom.com againstallgrain.com nomnompaleo.com thegraciouspantry.com marksdailyapple.com elenaspantry.com I know there is a lot of paleo listed, yet you can use whatever works for your diet and get ideas for clean, healthy whole foods from those sites still. Great job taking control of your choices!!

I have found that sometimes when I am craving sweet, I eat something totally not sweet it flips the switch in my brain. Like pickles, I love them and they are a good low cal snack so I can have one and drink water and see if I still crave sweets. If so then... I make smoothies like another poster said, and I watch my…

Here's our go to green smoothie recipe: 1 hass avocado 2 cups spinach, or kale, or mixed greens (my favorite( 3 cups almond milk, unsweetened 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 tbsp. cinnamon This makes about 40 oz so change the amounts as you need. We used to add about 2 cups of blueberries to this as well. We would blend those in…

I also LOVE using my crockpot, especially so I don't have to turn the oven on and most recipes for it are very easy! Check out thegraciouspantry.com she has some great crockpot recipes that are very easy and easy to tailor. I was surprised at all you can cook in it! I love cooking a whole chicken in it, my favorite…

That sounds great! Here are a couple of our go to smoothie recipes for you too! (I don't know how many calories they are!) 1 avocado 2 cups spinach, or kale, or mixed greens of your choice 3 cups almond milk, unsweetened 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 tbsp. ground cinnamon Sometimes this is all we put in! This makes about 40 oz,…

Yes, this is in a lot of processed foods. You can cut it out, it will require more time in the kitchen or a higher grocery bill, if you can find things in the store that don't have it. Since we live on a budget, I have gotten great at making just about anything in the kitchen. There are TONS of clean (non-processed,…

I totally understand what the OP is saying. In Feb of this year my fiancée and I went Paleo. We were working out, loving the food (yes, 90% whole, real, unprocessed food it IS possible) and got some great results. Then things changed, we both got a little depressed, fell off our great habits for about two months. Cheat…

Hi there! I just joined this group as I have been doing PiYO every other day for the past 10 days. It's a great workout! Not to step on any toes here, just to let people who may not be able to afford the BeachBody version, there are youtube videos of PiYO classes available. This is what I do since I can't afford the…

I'd like to join this group as well! I've been doing PiYO for 20 min every other day and it's great. I can only do 20min at a time before I am soaked with sweat and my body is shaking. I'm new to the exercise thing. So jealous of all you gals who say it isn't enough!!! LOL! I'll get there one day. I don't want to step on…

Hi there! I have heard of PiYO and can not afford to purchase the BeachBody one. There are several videos on youtube that I do and they work well for me. I am getting my diet and exercise back on track so I can only do about 20 min at a time and I am sweating my face off after 5 min and have worked out everything after…

Hi there! Sorry to hear about your lack of weight loss and irregular cycle. I have seen some people say that upping their carbs directly after their workouts helps to refuel their bodies. I don't work out super hard, about 20 min a day is all I can handle now as I'm getting back into the swing of things. I truly had no…

I just tried this for the first time this weekend. I'm in LOVE! The past two days I've had it for breakfast alone. It's pretty good. I;m definitely ready for a snack about 3-3.5hrs after I've had this. It definitely helps me get my fat for the day. It also has tons of calorie due to the fat so I'm still trying to work it…

Hi! I just joined the group. I started keto about a week and a half ago. I have already lost 4lbs! I'm sure it's mostly water weight, I'm still excited! It has taken me a little getting used to, I'm not used to eating so much fat. Still need to tweak it, though I'm tracking here mostly to watch my percentages of…

I am new to keto and am struggling to hit my macros & my calorie goal each day. My only suggestion is try to cut out the protein at one of your meals, replacing it with avocado (still has some protein but not as much) and mixed leafy greens. Some olive oil on that with a few spices makes a great salad. Ive had it for…

We have beem doing low carb & no Sugar.for a week now. In addition To what you listed, we eat eggs Hard boiled or scrambled, low sodium No sugar bacon, kale chips, smoothies With greens, almond milk, avocado, vanilla & cinnamon. We also eat salmon, beef, & Turkey. Hope this helps!

I struggle finding a low cal smoothie recipe too! The best I've been able to come up with is: Avocado mixed greens almond milk Vanilla extract Cinnamon Play with the amounts to see what Works for you! Hope this.helps!

Salmon cooked in olive oil with steamed broccoli drizzled with olive oil.

I was hoping there would be a discussion for this! I LOVE PiYO! Don't get me wrong, it's very difficult for me. I am a beginner and can only do 20 min of an hour long class at a time. I search youtube for videos and there is one lady teaching a class and videotaping it to share with us on youtube. It really does work my…
