My mom also has a difficult time eating enough calories. I make her protein packed granola from whole foods. 1/2 a cup is close to 500 calories so it's an awsome way to start the day. I'd be careful adding too much cow dairy many older people can't tolerate it any more so go raw or try goat milk. Smoothies are an excellent…

I use it in all kinds of recipes to add a little protein or as an egg replacer, I'm allergic. When soaked in water it forms a gel like flax but with out the grittyness & all the phytoestrogens. You can even grind it & add it to smoothies. :) SW 160 CW139

What are you feeling just before you binge.... odds are it"s the same thing everytime. When I feel stressed, like nails on a chalkboard stressed, I crave sugar. It used to be carby bready things & lots of it. Now it's a single serving of Tazo Chai in a lovely cup from my great grandmother... & I'm ok with that! It's…

I broke my plateau by upping my calories by 200/day, doing all out sprints w/ complete rest in…

HI ! Not sure what kind of low carb you are doing, I'm low carb due to crazy food allergies. 2 questions to ask yourself are; Am I eating enough calories? Am I eating enough fiber? It is easy to get instant results going on a low carb diet but if your carbs are under 100g/day you could be in ketosis. Ketosis is fine for a…

You should always vary your workout. Muscles get used to doing the same thing over & over. To challenge them finds a variety of core exercises. Anything from mountain climbers, captains chair, ball pikes, leg raises, plank with straigh & bent arms, etc etc. The internet has tons of info.

YES! Eat your calories. Our bodies are really good at holding on to weight when they aren't getting enough. I too wasn't eating enough when I joined MFP & recently I hit a plateau where I was loosing & gaining the same 2 lbs for a month. I had to bump up my calories by 200/day to get the weight loss rolling again. CRAZY!…
