I know that, for myself at least, eating low carb greatly reduces sugar and junk food cravings. When I try to eat a low calorie, low fat diet I am ravenously hungry all of the time. When I eat Low carb.... I deal with it just fine. That's just how my body works.... yours may be different. I am just learning and sticking to…

A lot of times people think low carb means they can eat as much as they want as long as they keep the net carbs below a certain amount... this is simply not true. It is possible to eat more calories than your body burns during the course of a day and stay below net carb amount. Regardless of where the calories come from,…

I read the entire series of books by VC Andrews that starts with Flowers in the Attic about the Dollanganger family last year. It was a good read but many times during the series it got exhausting reading it. After all was said and done, I was glad to be done with it... but glad I had read it. I just finished the Little…

Are you still doing induction (eating 22 net carbs a day or less)? If so... make sure that you are measuring or weighing your food... many times people underestimate their portion sizes and you get more carbs than you think. That can stall weight loss. If you have started adding in more carbs... perhaps you have eaten…

I keep mine open and am completely honest on it. I respond well to accountability... and it helps me to know that others who are going through the same struggles can get ideas from me, or can learn from my mistakes. I make notes on my food journal many days about why I ate what I did, or how I could improve just for…

I actually serve mine over salad greens and top with salsa, sour cream and cheese.... I don't add any beans to my chili so it stays very low carb.

I have found that it is best to choose one day a week to weigh in.... wear the same thing every time... and weigh at the same time each week.... for instance... weigh at 7 am on Monday mornings in a t shirt and shorts. I always weight before I eat or drink anything, and after going to the restroom. The least amount of…

I think it is really an evolution of self thing going on. I started out at 400 lbs.. and was getting remarks from people almost daily. I actually had a group of drunk college guys making a game out of seeing who could come up with the best remark about me at a sports bar once. Its horrifying. I have also been overweight my…

Its pretty great... I didn't watch it when it originally aired either... but got hooked when it was on nick at night. I did the same thing with a couple other shows- like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Charmed, and How I Met Your Mother. I either hop on the wagon late in the series or way after that horse died.

The important thing to remember is this- you absolutely cannot hit a weight that you feel comfortable at and then think you can go back to eating how you used to before you started eating healthy. You will end up gaining weight and get back to the weight that you were at when you first started. You must eat to maintain the…

Pass up sweets- couldn't do that a month ago.

I cut my own hair too

Im doing Atkins... and it has been a game changer for me. I was always having intense urges to eat... but doing Atkins I rarely have them. I came to find out that many people are carbohydrate resistant ... meaning that their body just doesn't process carbs well... and stores them as fat almost immediately- which in turn…

Good morning! It is my understanding that 'Sedentary' means that you do little standing, walking. lifting, or movement other than general light movement a person might do throughout the day. This would be things like sitting at home watching tv, working at a desk, perhaps having to get up every now and then to grab a cup…

hi Jeanne, I believe that all you have to do is go to your profile- click on My Home- and it should show your ticker on that page with options under the ticker to personalize it by clicking a link. You can choose what you want it to show from there.

Maybe they add calories by injecting the chicken with a solution... check the label and see what the ingredients are.... most whole chickens say - injected with a solution up to whatever percent- on the label... that's the only reason I can think of that it would be higher. Or maybe they expect you to eat the skin and…

Its easy for things cooked in a crockpot to all come out tasting the same... if you overcook it, or use the same spices and seasonings for everything. The great thing about a crockpot is that you can cook pretty much anything in it... but you cant just cook things any old way. If you add too much water... food tends to be…

Well... when going out to eat you just have to make the decision that you are going to make good food choices... this is a life long change in your eating, so even making healthier choices than what you normally would will pay off in the long run. If you strbe yourself or deprive yourself all of the time, you may get fed…

I work all the time, but in the evenings when I am home I watch movies obsessively while I cook... lol The most recent movies I have seen are: DVD- Captain Phillips- Very good depiction of a true story... although I would have liked more background on his relationship with his wife Catching Fire- saw this at the…

I like to throw a handful of baby spinach into my omelet in the morning and wilt it.... I cook onions in a skillet with some olive oil until its almost caramelized... then add some mushrooms and fresh greens... and about 1/2 cup beef broth... makes a great topping for meat or a potato I like to mix cooked greens with…
