I use stevia and creamer. Some people don't like stevia, but I think it's wonderful

agnostics - you do know what that means right? as I have not found many agnostics myself :ohwell:

agree totally

I have T2 Diabetes and my doc told me I had to do something or go on insulin. In the last 3 or so months I have stopped eating bread and pasta (pretty much all gluten) - started walking daily and eating healthier. I have lost 15 pounds and just went to my doctors and my A1C has dropped from a 10.8 to a 6.6. He was very…

Also 44 and the mother of two boys ages 16 and 12. I have lost 15 pounds so far - I am at a little lull right now. I was so gung ho for awhile and now I need to get back on track. Life struggles and what-not. Add me, we can support each other and keep reminding each other that we are important and if we are needed by…

workout everyday at a good intensity and gain more calories to create a decent deficit if you want to eat more.....simple

subway chopped salad is good and wendys chili and a half salad is a good choice too. KFC grilled chicken with a side of green beans.....check the internet, there is usually at least one decent choice at most of the places

you look awesome and soooo much younger and vibrant. It sure shows!!!

yes - open up your diary for better help.

Thank you so much. MFP has been wonderful on this journey.

i see alot of simple carbs (not complex whole grain), fatty meats and hardly any veggies....maybe try the eggs in the am with spinach and mushrooms and some oatmeal instead of waffles and chicken or tuna with a salad in the afternoon.....try to eat a little more clean and less sodium and see how that helps your body. Just…

i have heard of people putting stevia in it to make it sweeter like regular peanut butter

yes - i just made the cauliflower pizza for the first time this weekend - amazing - could not even tell it was cauliflower. I just riced a head of cauliflower, cooked in microwave for 8 minutes, let cool, mixed with 2 eggs and a cup of light mozzarella, pressed thin on greased pan, baked in oven at 425 until golden (about…

open your diary so we can give suggestions

Go to a home store and buy an oil mister - fill with olive oil and you will use much less - but keep the oil in play, it is healthy for your body - you need the fats - keeps everything moving, if you know what I mean

Ditto that

I am a gravy girl. Meat and Potatoes with gravy to be exact ;) - One of my fave comfort food meals is mashed cauliflower with smart balance and garlic (in place of mashed potatoes) and a hamburger steak made with extra lean (96/4) ground beef with grilled onions and mushroom caps - and of course, beef gravy. Not too crazy,…

ditto - some people make you afraid to ask questions

Chipotle salad with lettuce, carnitas, black beans, fajita veggies and mild salsa - 390 calories - yum

that is exactly what i was going to say - i always find that after a really good (painful) workout and sometimes, extra salt - i show a gain but in a few days - i show a bigger loss - it all balances i swear

I am type 2 diabetic and the only thing that seems to work for me is low carb - i would love some easy recipes as i work and have two kids

The Natural PB like Skippy Natural or Jiff Natural are better, if you look at the ingredients of the regular, you will see hydrogenated oils which signal trans fat and if you eat alot of it, that isn't great. The Natural varieties have just a few ingredients - that is what i like to see - Smart Balance is actually really…
