Thanks so much for your input...I've looked into GAPS, but I am fuzzy on the science behind it. its not as clear cut to me as keto is. I am so new to my diagnosis, I am still learning what works food wise and what doesn't, in combination with trying to keep my blood sugar reasonable. Its rough. I know wine is a major…

Hi, and thank you for the advice! I did get a calcium/mag/zinc supplement that i take in the evenings, and I also got a salt substitute for my potassium. I also used that same site to help with figuring out my ratios. I do need to work on my water intake, sometimes I forget. I am doing pretty well so far, glucose was 114…

Thanks

Are you sure it is hunger, and not thirst? I only ask because I have heard that sometimes, what we determine as hunger pangs can actually be representative of thirst - although I have to admit, I hate having to get up in the middle of the night to pee.

HAHA!! Love it!

I wonder what happens when you start eating real food again. Which you will, because you are human, and humans like food.

Super interesting....but kind depressing :(

I have been thinking about looking for a Naturopath in my area (Charleston, SC). I've been struggling for so long, have been switched from synthroid to armour, back synthroid. I started taking additional supplements on my own, from reading i've done, but I would like for once to have a professional that i pay for actually…

I also just started on the Ashwagandah, and also on Guggul this past week. My main problem is the mult-dosing. I always forget to take my afternoon pills (can you say brain fog?). guessing i'll need to use that smart phone of my to keep me smart.

What is it that you are nervous about, or do you just have excess energy to burn? I find find that if i get up early enough, i have pretty much expended all my energy by 9pm, which is about bedtime for me. I get up at 430 am daily to workout for 30-45 minutes...so that is when my day starts (during the work week anyways -…

Hi Louise, I'm new to this group too, and new to GF. I've been GF for about a week now. Good luck! Jenn

I did a crash diet, lost over 30 lbs very quickly. Not long after i was having my gallbladder removed with stones that looked like dice. Agree that low cal low fat can be so very harmful. Weight came back in droves unfortunately. Now its slow for me. Im in no hurry. Its frustrating sometimes, but better overall

Perhaps monitor wheat/gluten? There may be days that are higher in wheat or gluten perhaps causing some swellin / bloating?

um....yum! :)

Luckily for me it was salmon fest on food network the other day! :-D Hope you try it and enjoy !!

Actually, this was basically just salt, pepper, vinagrette, and herbs. I toned down the wine to a scant scant 1/8 cup. I've never tried it with lemon yogurt. do you bake it with the yogurt on or serve it on the side??

I hear that!

:smile: You are fantastic! :smile: I know you've had to work so hard to get where you are. Congrats, and revel in your victory! All that aside, I'm soooo soooo jealous j/k...truly, congrats.

They make those wall sized crossword puzzles too....

I must have missed the part where I actually said that - oh no wait. You were taking it out of context....I get it now. Let me try and be more precise, in stating that we have grown our children into a societal sense of entitlement & laziness...where a simple pleasure such as art AKA: coloring OR playing outside...is…

And if they ARE going to Salad World....I'll bet you 100.00 freaking dollars that the kids are eating ranch dressing...lol

Really? No KFC? No Fries? No Chicken Sandwich or nugget McMush? The average family eats out 4-5 times per week. Tell me they are all going to Salad World.

Too fun. Toss something out there, and sit back and watch the fireworks. Betther than 4th of July, and free to boot.

OMG! Too funny

lol....pie rocks.

Shredded Wheat.

I don't wonder, and agree with the poster about food novelty not being the issue....nor a "travesty". The travesty is the total lack of self control, and overbearing feeling of entitlement that we have in the US. What about the need for drive thru's since god forbid we get out of our vehicle. What about feeding our kids…

Make good choices, and it will help you get to a healthy weight without losing Lean Body Mass, and that is awesome.

OMG...totally makes me want to blow off my salmon....lol

I wonder if it's insecurity, or a slant on reality. maybe they just have themselves convinced that they are /were thinner, or younger looking. Folks are like that....i told myself for the longest time i was not gaining weight. Guess what i was wrong....lol Agree with keeping up the good work. Take it all as…
