Just a comment about "not being able to eat vegetables": Nobody is born with a special set of tastebuds or a special stomach that can't tolerate any vegetables. You don't like vegetables as an adult because your parents didn't make you eat them and become accustomed to them as a child. You can like them if you try.…

How much water do you drink per day? Do you increase that amount with each workout? And do you replace your electrolytes post-workout? Also, when I was new to exercise (or when I change my exercise habits) I tend to get leg cramps. Also, some BCP (Yaz and the like) can alter your electrolyte imbalance and cause cramping.…

I LOVE egg yolks, but I often do 1 whole egg plus one white. The other yolk gets cooked up and given to my dogs. It keeps their coats nice and shiny, and they love it, of course! Now they come running when they hear me cracking eggs! They stand and wait for THEIR yolk! LOL!

The first time that I got a pair of knee-high boots entirely over my newly smaller calves i nearly cried happy tears!

At my Whole Foods they make granola there on site - Cherry Almond, Buleberry and Flax with nuts. Chewy, sweet, a little salty and full of whole almonds If that flax granola is in my house, I just can't help eating it. I eat it by the handful, my head in the pantry, directly out of the package. Classy. Now I only buy tiny…

My question is...What are you eating when you're not eating fast food? Maybe that's the issue, but I can't see your food diary.

"I love them but for some reason they make my mouth and stomach itch if I eat a lot of it. It's a weird feeling. I'm assuming I have a mild allergy to the stuff." That is certainly an allergy. And you should be very careful. Allergies can turn into a serious, life-threatening situation any time you are exposed to something…

Try adding these: Greek yogurt Beans and lentils (Add to salads, soups or pasta) Cottage cheese (I like to top spaghetti and sauce with it instead of having meat) Eggs and/or egg whites (I scramble with veggies and put on a whole wheat english muffin or use in baked oatmeal) Tuna (Canned in water- use in wraps or on top of…

A vape - as in a vaporizer for marijauna. Pretty common here in Denver where medical marijuana pretty much makes it legal entirely.

I see that your diet is largely based on processed foods. The sugar (and I assume sodium, chemicals, preservatives, etc.) intake in these foods is astronomical. It would help if you included more unprocessed foods such as: PLENTY of FRESH fruits and vegetables, unrefined whole grains, lean unprocessed meats (whole pieces…

Actually, drinking plenty of water helps to reduce the amount of water that you retain by diluting the sodium concentration in your bloodstream. You can drink too much and disturb your body's electrolyte imbalance, but I imagine that would require a huge amount of water consumtion in a pretty short amount of time. I woun't…

Pescatarian (not really vegetarian) = Same as above, except it includes fish/seafood Vegetartian = no animal flesh of any kind, but (unfertilized) eggs and dairy products are allowed. Vegan = No animal products of any kind (no dairy, no eggs, no honey, no gelatin, etc.) If you're just going for vegetarian protein sources…

It's called orthostatic hypotension - a drop in blood pressure upon changin position (in this case, upon standing). This started happening to me (down 33 pounds) and my husband (down 50 pounds) upon losing weight. It's common, but if you're concerned, ask your doctor about it. And drink more water.…

I find that not eating "light" or "diet" foods is best. Lean Cuisines don't really contain great nutrition. Try eating whole, unprocessed, foods. I find that if I'm eating plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole (unrefined) grains, and lean protein, that I'm less inclined to get cravings. If you giveyour body…

There are several cheap prescriotion and non-prescription choices. Save yourself money and buy GENERIC, the maker has prove to FDA that it's the exact same chemical. Over the Counter (I'd start with one of these milder medications): Famotidine (generic Pepcid) Ranitidine (ganeric Zantac) Cimetidine (generic Tagamet)…

Because you naturally lose muscle mass as you age, your metabolic rate will decrease. A good way to increase your metabolic rate is to increase your mucle mass. Even at rest, muscle cells require more energy to simply exist (than do fat cells.) So, if you are strength training to increase lean muscle mass, it will increase…

There is no reason to cut out bananas or fruit. Natural unprocessed foods are good for you! I find that I stay satisfied by having plety of fiber throughout the day and plenty of protein. Protein added to all snacks and meals is a good way to stay satisfied, as you body digests it more slowly, and it helps to not spike…
