Why are you eating so much pudding & ice cream? Is it special pudding?

Your breakfast sounds really tasty. You have to check out this egg separator - it makes you want to separate eggs! http://www.kaboodle.com/reviews/stoneware-egg-separator My pregnancy and breastfeeding have depleted my Calcium so that I am slightly osteopenia. Even my Doctor has said that I need to take a Calcium…

Noooooooooo!!!!!! :noway: I'm sorry, that was just my first reaction - here is an explanation: FDA approved doesn't mean totally safe - it means that the FDA has said "Hey, this could work for losing weight, too". As with any other weight loss program, Alli recommends diet and lifestyle changes with exercise and…

Here is some advice that I got from a friend of mine who is a dietician. First of all, be sure that you continue to eat. I have 5 small 200-300 calorie meals/snacks throughout the day, no more than 2 1/2 hours apart each should have no more than 30 g carbs and (here's what will get you off the plateau) at least 10 g…

It doesn't matter that you are eating only a Tbs of peanut butter - why eat it at all? Take a look, no matter how much you eat the fat is 2 - 3 times the protein. And cheese is high fat. too. Maybe mozzerella or string cheese. And yogurt, even light yogurt is still 100 calories and not really much protein for that amount.…

My understanding is that you should have 0.8 g of lean protein per pound of body weight. I see that the MFP calculator sets a goal lower than that. I aim for 100g per day and feel great. I eat 5 small 200-300 calorie meals, not more than 2 1/2 hours apart, with at least 10g protein in each meal/snack. This keeps my energy…

Me too, I am trying to get at least 10 grams of protein in each of my 5 small meals. I don't have a problem with getting the protein, it''s the variety. I LOVE my protein shakes! I have an Advocare Meal Replacement Shake in the morning - 24g protein, 220 calories - and quick and easy to make, and usually an Advocare Muscle…

I found this recipe one time for Thanksgiving. If you absolutely HAVE to have mashed potatoes - mix up 1/2 mashed ptatoes 1/2 butternut squash. Your guests will not even realize that you are helping them to cut calories and carbs!

What are you talking about "Maintenance"?

That's great - and tasty, too! Thank you. But I still like to mix my Peaches & Cream fiber drink with my Vanilla Muscle Gain once in a while. Now, I need some good ideas for protein snacks - I am getting bored with my chicken tenders. :yawn:

What?! 3-4 days? You need to be poopin' EVERY day. If it's not comin' out it's not comin' off! And who is getting to 20-30 g of fiber without supplementing? That's alot of veggies! I'd like to know your healthy diet that is working like a charm. Sure the human body is made to de-tox itsellf, but really, unless you are…

Great information - thank you. To be clear, the Herbal Cleanse that I mentioned in my earlier post is not a colon cleanse. It is 10 days worth of soluble & insoluble fiber drink, probiotics and herbal extracts to help get rid of impurities throughout the body. These are some of the things that are mentioned in the links…

I use Advocare Herbal Cleanse (peaches & cream flavor) every 90 days. This is a gentle 10 day cleanse, that cleans your intestines, liver, kidneys, blood, colon. It's like cleaning the lint trap out of your dryer - your body will work more efficiently because it will have moved the junk out and you will be able to absorb…

Are you eating all day - that is 5-6 smalls "meals", and how's your protein intake? Be sure to get at least 10g in each "meal". Since I started keeping track of my food, I have found that I was eating ALOT of carbs, especially sugar. I still keep my calories low - they just are empty calories. I really am working on more…

I have found a product that is so fantastic that I actually signed up to be a distributor! It is called Catalyst. It is branch chain amino acids that nourish your muscles so that they stay strong and help to keep your metabolism up to burn calories, and it shields those muscles so that you burn the fat for energy and…

Another excellent choice is Advocare Post Workout Recovery Shake. With 12 grams of protein and the vitamins and minerals necessary for endurance and to support muscle recovery and reduce soreness. By the way, the Seattle Seahawks mix up one of those big orange drink containers with Post Worlout Recovery and they all stand…

Actually - most people don't get most of the protein they need. We should have 0.8 grams of protein per pound of body weight. Women, especially pregnant and breastfeeding women should get at least 100 grams of protein per day. That is 4 meat servings - and that is hard to do when you are cutting back your calories and…

I just read today that we should get 0.8 g protein for every pound of body weight. When I was pregnant, the nutrition guide that I followed was pretty firm on at least 100 g protein per day. I still follow that diet when I need to get back in shape. It is Dr Brewer's pregnancy diet, and is really just a good all around…

Sounds like you are dehydrated - better than water you need an electrolyte replacement drink to really uptake your fluids. But watch out for sugar and sodium, and be sure that magnesium and potassium levels are adequate. I live near Houston Texas and it is plenty hot and humid - I drink Advocare Rehydrate all the time.…

I noticed your post - here is something that I was told by a friend of my who is a registeredDdietician. I already eat 5 - 6 small (200-300) calorie meals/snacks each day, my friend recommended that I be sure to get at least 10 grams of protein in each meal, I had not been so diligent with getting protein in my snacks. I…

I just finished my food diary and then came to the message board and saw your post title - exactly what I was thinking about after I saw the results of my day. It wasn't so much stress as just poor planning. I had to travel out of town, and didn't really pack enough good snacks and a good lunch. So I ended up grazing all…

I have always figured that you have put fuel in the engine in order to make it work. But for a long time I had the dilemma of wanting the fuel, but not wanting a full tummy. I finally found something that really has made a difference. I have a low calorie, low carb, protein shake about 30 minutes before I exercise. Be sure…
