I did a 10 day juice fast. The first 3 days were awful. I just wanted to eat. Then, it got so much better. I planned to go longer than 10 days but by 10, I wanted real food. And I ate it, and got the worst tummy ache ever! Make sure to ease back into it. I also lost 10lbs but gained them all back plus some in the following…

full fat greek yogurt with SF flavored syrup. Fage is 130 cal and worth every creamy spoonful

I should be exercising or something other than sitting here

you and I wear glasses

I think you could base it on aerobics and the level you exert. I mean, I can do the 1 mile walk and barely lift my knees, or I can really make it a workout. So, I would log it as aerobics for so many minutes at whatever level YOU put into it.

Coconut is high in potassium too. I use the oil to cook, water to drink and meat to eat.:smile:

My point is that just because you or someone somewhere say it is unhealthy, it doesn't make it unhealthy. If my sister in law can fight a crazy cancer by eating that way EVERY day, how is it unhealthy? You believe because someone somewhere says it is unhealthy. I see and feel the "health" restored for me and my SIL every…

So, I should go back to my old ways because then I am getting enough fat to make you guys happy. My sister in law with terminal cancer has lived 20 years longer than the doctors said she would by eating only vegetables and raw foods. No fats other than coconut oil (which I forgot to mention I use to cook my meats in--so I…

Ummm, did you miss the 21 days part? Am I going to die because for 21 days I am light on protein and fat?

I don't post much on this site, but have to here. 500 calories diet is hardly starvation. Breakfast- orange or apple, coffee with milk (or in my case a breve EVERY morning) Lunch- standard portion of meat and a WHOLE bag of spinach steamed Dinner- standard portion of meat and a HUGE salad seasoned with mustard and ACV…

I know i am going to eat late so i do my best to plan. Late at night i want salty and crunchy so i get a small bowl with ruffled chips and nibble. I know it is not the best food choice but it fizes my urge. If i went with an apple i would still eat the chips anyway. So for me the planning saves me. Just putting a small…

You are doing great!!

My friend who hates plain water adds torini SF syrups or these stevia based flavor drops. I think they are called Sweetleaf.

I switched to sweeteners like honey, agave, stevia. Took some getting used to, but now "normal" sweets are too sweet for me. I like truvia as a sweetener option that I can take with me. The little packets fit nicely in a small pocket of my purse. I also upped my protein and fat (good fats like EVOO) and having the upped…

I did a 10-day juice fast. It was hard. I was starving the first few days, but then the hunger went away. After 10 days, I felt so deprived I ate a burger and ended up throwing it up. I lost 10 pounds but gained back---you don't want to know how much I gained back. That was my experience. Bought the juicer, fasted for…

I have it on my blog. http://try2basunbeam.blogspot.com/

No one mentioned it, but you can gain a lot in water weight, too. If I don't drink *at least* 2 liters of water in a day, I can always expect to gain the next day--sometimes a couple pounds over night. Then, I drink enough water and the next day the 2 pounds is gone, so when you see major fluctuations in the scale like…

SO... I was 21...fresh 21..3rd time in a bar...did a bikini contest..won 3rd place (cuz I was the newbie...you know how it is...) My friends went to drop off one girl's boyfriend at his house. They said it'd only be "a minute" so I stayed in the car. knee high boots and mini skirt--drunk--very drunk---someone came out to…

I have a box of them you could buy from me! lol All over the internet it says how wonderful they are BUT Everyone I have actually talked to said they were gross. Wish I would've talked to them before I wasted my money on them. On the other hand, the frst time I had them ina chicken soup, they were ok. And I saw a recipe…

I would make sure you are drinking plenty--I mean PLENTY--of water. If you exercise and don't drink enough water, your body will hold onto water. Not saying that you don't drink enough water, because I don't know if you do or don't, but for me, I was NOT drinking nearly enough water...

I think it could be detoxing, but depending on the exercise routine you've been doing that can be it too. The headache I get behind my eye is mainly on one side, so I know that, for me, it is from my neck muscle. If you look at an anatomy book at where the muscles are, you can see how a tight muscle in your neck can cause…

ChaLean Extreme is mostly strength training but in the set, there is a cardio disk- maybe 2, I don't recall. ChaLean works! She is so motivating! Seriously, I looked forward to it, not like, oh, I have to go do my exercise...ho humm, but more Let's do it! Yeah!! I did it for about 6 weeks before my car accident and I was…

I've been plagued with headaches for-ever... Sometimes, I can get them from exercise, like walking with poor posture, or strains on the neck muscles can cause them as well, like from sit-ups or lifting weights. Also, not drinking enough water can do it. It could be, too, from starting a healthier lifestyle, just your body…
