  • I've always had a very strong insulin response to both whole and processed grains, fruit (yes even with the fibre) and potatoes (sweet and white). Even whole oat oatmeal with sugar free protein powder and nuts/seeds would leave me feeling hypoglycaemic by lunchtime. I'd also get quite bloated on bread products. Once I got…
    in Giving Up Carbs to lose Weight Good or Bad idea what do you think ? Comment by UKTexan February 2021
  • The instructor for my class is an accomplished yogini and great buti teacher. She's also adorably thick and looks like she could bench press an actual cow. Don't be scared. Do the thing.

  • I have to agree with most of the posts on here. I do love myself, and that's why I want to be thin. Do I want to be a fitness model? No. But, I do want to be at a healthy BMI and give my body the nutrients it needs. Even at only 30 or so pounds overweight, I felt terrible. Swollen, lethargic, easily winded, with…

  • I've read through the comments on this post and I think that your problem may be one of these options: 1. You are way off logging your calories. 2. You are bingeing thousands of calories you're not logging. You seem to comfort eat high carb, sugary sweets when you feel down. Not everyone that does this is a binge eater,…

  • I'm 5'2", and am losing from a weight of 135 to 115. I am 2.8 pounds from my goal. My method is a magical diet secret! I...uh, eat fewer calories than I burn. The last few pounds come off very slowly, so instead of allowing myself cheat days now, where I would eat whatever I want, I eat maintenance (1500ish) when I need a…

  • There are conflicting studies about the safety of aspartame and other artificial sweeteners. Personally, I found that drinking diet sodas with or without food made my blood sugar drop REALLY low. Caffeine can spike your blood sugar as well, and in this case I think the combination of caffeine and aspartame messed my body…

  • I think a lot of what you are going through is emotional as well. If you're taking care of your son and your mother by yourself, you're bound to be tired and feel drained. All the more reason to work out. Exercise will help bring you out of a funk, and help you begin producing the serotonin, HGH, and testosterone that will…

  • I'm new, but my diary is open, if you want to see it. Calorie counting is something I haven't done before. I eat very clean and healthily to begin with. No alcohol, no caffeine, no refined sugar, no gluten, little dairy, few starchy carbs (oh, but sweet potatoes....) Anyway, the reason I eat this way in the first place is…
