My sister turned me on to it. It's just an ebook with recipes and it basically just follows a clean eating diet - nothing new or groundbreaking, but I will say they have a really friendly and flexible approach and their recipes are pretty yummy. For some people, like me I just need the concept wrapped in a fun and pretty…

Hi! I'm Anne Marie and I've got 79 days to my wedding! :# I'm at 150 lbs and 5'6". I'm about a month out from my first fitting so I'm just trying to do my best to maybe lose 5 pounds by then, possibly 10 lbs by the wedding. I have a corset in my dress so I'm not terribly worried about not fitting it. But I'm being…

I'm in! I'm getting married 9/12 and still about 5 weeks away from my first fitting. Luckily I only need to lose about 10, most likely will be 5, but I'm just focusing on eating way better and keeping my exercise up to combat with stress. I'm just going to concentrate on the water intake and clean eating. I've made peace…

It actually could have. Studies have shown that artificial sweetners in diet sodas cause other sweet cravings. There's sodium in those sodas, causing bloat. I absolutely believe that in a larger person, ditching diet soda can make a dent in their weight loss journey, simply because it affects energy and taste.

Try a banana an hour/half hour before your workout. If its almost 2 hours long, maybe throw in a spoonful of peanut butter and a cracker or two. I've found that a banana is the perfect preworkout meal for me. Save the protein for afterwards to help your muscles recover (maybe a protein shake would be better after instead…

Go for the flavored ones. If eating them and tracking works for you, I wouldn't worry too much about it. If you find you eat them, track and aren't seeing much of a difference, you can start examining things like how much sugar you can reduce in your diet and see if it makes a difference in any weightloss. I usually end up…

"Grilled cheese" on a sandwich thin and bacon (basically and egg sandwich without the egg). Leftovers from dinner. Quick sandwich thin pizza in the…

Why not try swapping out a lower fat milk? Some people don't like skim, but why not try 2% or 1%? Since you like scrambled eggs, why not try doing 1 egg and 1 egg white? Maybe add some veggies in there? And if you like cheese, why not getting a more flavorful cheese like parmagiano reggiano or asiago? It's so yummy you end…

I'm not gf, but I have two sisters who are. Try not to substitute too much gluten products for their gluten free counter parts (i.e. gluten free bagels for a normal bagel, gf pretzels for regular pretzels). Just because potato chips are gluten free doesn't mean you can eat them all the time and feel awesome. And not to say…

Hmm, I like my standbys: - greek yogurt - triscuit thin crisps with one wedge of laughing cow cheese - apple and peanut butter - veggies with hummus - string cheese and fruit Look for food with protein and fiber and stay away from the empty stuff (like saltines, pretzels, super processed granola bars) unless you pair it…

Good for you! Giving up the soda addiction is really hard. You have two options: cold turkey or a gradual reduction in consumption over several weeks. If you go cold turkey, you will probably have a miserable week or two as you adjust, trying to treat the caffeine headaches with extra water consumption, advil, or exercise…
