water? I have tendinitis in my arms, I use a brace but you cant do that on the legs

I'm still figuring this out but it seems like if you use the scooby calculator you are still under eating. You can always raise your calories 100 per week and monitor your weight. I would love to be friends and support each other.

ACE :)

Interesting. I'll take a look at it but I do enjoy the clean eating model more than just eating what ever I want but I've never heard of IF

Thanks Rayman, the calorie balancing makes sense. My fasting is more to gain control and clarity then for the weight loss

Ok changed the settings sorry! I do think I eat much sloppier now that I'm injuired, when I was weight lifting I was a super clean eater. Now I eat crap but I do stay within calorie range. After fasts I usually have TONS of calories left but not much time = not good :(

This is a life long journey sis :) I've been on it with you. I have been gaining weight as well after about 7 family deaths in a row. It's hard. Death has a REAL way of reminding us of what is eternal. That is my focus now. Taking care of my temple and learning how to nourish my soul with His word, because man does not…

Just updating to say: I'm better!!!! Lifting again for 3 weeks and I'm in love with it. I'm being careful. Cherry Juice, tennis elbow straps, glucosamine w msn and Gods wisdom, those are my secrets!

Thank you friends!!!

deevatude, its James Wilsons body earned. Anything with weights really

Thank you my mfp pals. You are all so encouraging. Love it :)

Jen I was shooting for the over weight too! I started right before thanksgiving and everyone thought I was crazy. The more I looked at pictures the more encouraged I got.. You CAN DO IT!!!!

I think my point is just its the first article I've seen that has addressed it. And I'm excited to look into it further. And its nice to see that others find it interesting too. The whole quality foods. Its worth exploring especially since they have a Mayo Clinic study. That has a great reputation. Its great to see…

People ALL have a different view of what is "clean to them" And I do want to look into this more. I was just sharing it because it is exciting, that's all. And I'm living it. I've lost 10 lbs now by just eating (my version of) clean and listening to my body. I eat as much as I want. No junk food. Its just exciting thats…

Definetly to each his/her own. I just LOVE clean eating and how my body is responding. I'm not doing too bad myself. And I love it

Clean eating is quality food. The article mentions low quality food etc leading to fat storage. I think I equate high quality food to non processed. But I would get the book to make sure

Me too!!! I'm just so excited. Its working so great for me I stopped logging my food. Six months ago when I posted about this I got a calorie is a calorie, the twinkie diet blah blah blah. I'm excited about the book

No, just found the article. Have you heard of this before?

Never heard of it :(

Just had to bump this cause its GREAT stuff. I have the chocolate peanut butter flavor :)

I recommend a 12 week program like Jaime Eason's LiveFit. Its real easy to follow. You can find it on bodybuilding.com. You can join groups to help you along. That is where I started

yea that counts. No ones perfect :)

My family and I eat clean for around 150-200 bucks a week. Food prices have been going up. But you can do it. You can cook your own beans from scratch, brown rice from scratch, etc. Sometimes we get too fancy. You can add me as a friend if you like

With the belly its all about your eating. Eat less sugar and more often and give your body time.....

Yay! and thank you. I added you :)

I havent read the book but I've been eating clean for 3 months now...would love to add some friends who are doing the same

Definetly see a nutritionist. You need to raise the calories slowly. And you will gain at first but then your body will stabilize. I'm here to encourage you as always Sis. You will over come this just as you have other obstacles :)
