  • Love me some black beans!
  • I mixed 2 tbs of peanut flour with a tbs of water and it wasn't as good as PB2 if you like to eat it that way. It was a bit runny actually, maybe you need a little more as there isn't as much oil in it as PB2 from what I understand. It's just as good in my oatmeal as PB2 though. Being from the midwest, I'm going to try…
  • I've had this Temple in the back of my mind all day now, thankfully there is no chocolate here in the house LOL
  • I'm actually using mostly veggies in my juice, just a small piece of fruit to add a little sweetness.
  • The only way I could ever eat an ounce is if that's all that was left when I grabbed the bag :)
  • She didn't like the thought of measuring and weighing everything she ate I guess. I'll get her converted there, or all this will be for naught. I have to admit, the cleanup after juicing sucks, but so far I feel fantastic even though I have not eaten anything solid in 4 days.
  • There is no laxative effect LOL I've not had a movement in more than 24 hours and the last one was minimal, TMI I know LOL And I'm losing weight pretty quickly. I'm in maintenance mode right now anyhow, been at or below my target weight for many months and this is not a forever thing for me, just helping my wife get out of…
  • I know what you mean about wanting to pick up something to chew on out of habit LOL. I've used celery a few times as well and it's a pretty good, rather mild tasting juice. I've also been alternating between kale and spinach in my batches. Kale is a bit more bitter and spinach seems to have much more liquid in it. I tried…
  • I went for my normal 3 mile fast paced walk yesterday for the first time and didn't notice any noticeable difference in my time or added fatigue. I did however, have a very brief dizzy spell a few hours after though.
  • I'm on a mostly green vegetable and leafy green fast with a small amount of fruit mixed in so it taste a little better. Trying to do at least ten days, then transition to only vegetables for a few days before going back to my normal, fairly clean eating. Today I used sweet potato instead of cucumbers, YUM! We are juicing…

  • Any meat and poultry Any fish, not breaded or fried Veggies Fruits in moderation Whole grains nuts yogurt, plain not the sugar laced stuff be careful of canned goods, they have a ton of sodium in them Type II can be reversed, I'm living proof, but you have to be methodical and exercise at least 3-4 times a week or more, it…
  • Congratulations, you can totally reverse Type II and "Pre-Diabetes", with diet and exercise, I did ;)
  • Does anyone know what the passengers in the car with the camera were saying? They had to have been in complete shock witnessing that.
  • LOL, I second this, the term wet noodles come to mind the first time I finished :) 8 minutes does not seem like much but trust me, this will kick your butt big time...
  • If you go 20 minutes you'll probably be dead LOL Here is a decent video that explains in fine detail, HIIT at least: http://fitness.mercola.com/sites/fitness/archive/2010/06/26/10-minutes-of-exercise-yields-hourlong-effects.aspx P.S. They recommend 2-3 times a week max, you have to give your body time to recuperate after…
  • I'd bump it up to at least 1670 for a week and see how it goes. You may gain a few lbs right out of the gate but don't let that sacre you, probably just retaining a bit of water. Once things even out and you start losing again, bump it up a bit more to eventually find the right place you need to be with all the exercising…
  • What is your BMR? 1200 cals a day is way low, especially if you are working out every day and seeing that you are only 3 lbs from your goal, why not up your cals to at least your BMR and 75% of your exercise cals and see if that helps?
  • Look at some of my pics and those of others who got through that stage, it's so worth it. As much as it sucks, get through the next day, then the day after and the weeks after that and it gets easier. Take weekly pics as well, even though you may not lose much weight in a month, you can still see terrific results in your…
  • In case anyone is curious, here is exactly what I ate, don't let that small 3 oz. bag fool you ;) http://www.russellstover.com/images/us/local/products/detail/9621_dt%20(2).jpg There should be a law requiring a warning inside the bag or something. The small, obscure warning on the outside of the bag you would never even…
  • No, I think it had maltose or sugar alcohol in it? http://www.russellstover.com/jump.jsp?itemID=908&itemType=PRODUCT&path=1%2C2%2C4%2C24%2C157&iProductID=908 They tasted great, thus the downing of the entire bag in one sitting lol What a mistake!
  • Try a small bag of Russel Stover's sugar free chocolate covered english toffee. You'll cleanse everything from your digestive system in 24 hours, guaranteed! LOL
  • How long does this usually last? Anyone with previous experience? Going on 16 hours now with no relief in sight
  • To further expand on this major life lesson: Make sure and have some lotion added TP handy, because the Scott 50 grit just aint cutting it today ;)
  • They taste great, that's why I ate the entire bag LOL Never again...
  • Actually I'm at the office now, 20 guys coming off hangovers from the weekend Christmas party and only one bathroom, not a good situation this morning LOL
  • Yeah, there is actually a warning on the label LOL Wish I had seen that last night...
  • LOL, it's mid winter up here in Wisconsin now and I hate it. I've never been a huge fan of cold weather, but it really goes right through me now. I was thinking earlier this evening about looking into those gloves football receivers wear for grip, just to keep my hands warm in my house at night LOL. I find myself always…
