I had the same issue and when they told me my iron is low, I started taking iron pills to find that nothing has changed. Until I went to an alternative doctor who gave me liquid iron supplement so it’s easier for the body to take in the iron, and she combined it with B12 and L-glutamine which is just a supplement. If your…

Try BOLTHOUSE CHOCOLATE protein plus drink. It kicks my chocolate cravings every time....Its in the fridge/juice section with any major retailers.

Before anything else try half a lemon with a spoon of honey, and warm it up in the microwave. Never fails.

I think `calorie is a calorie` idea only works for people that has at least 25lbs+ to loose. When you get down to a certain weight you will have to start watching the quality of your food to help your body get a hormonal balance to lose more weight. I believe this is the reason why this topic is so 50-50. For heavier…

There is so many people out there who are not. International sites should not be made easier to use just because you are lazy to calculate. I am not American but live in the US, and had to learn the `cup` system. I am not Irish but lived in Ireland had to become used to the `lbs and stone` system. You can use a scale, use…

I am guessing that the people that think my post is `invalid` or the calorie is a calorie didn’t think about the fact that actual `food` is a lot easier to count, and usually have less calories, and would help him feel full, and avoid underestimating. You will not find the one and only answer here but you will find the…

Instead of getting wrapped up in the quantity and the calories, I would try changing the type of food you eat. Calories don’t equal calories, and in my opinion if you changed what you eat, just once a day you would have better results and feel fuller too. You cant lose weight without significantly adding more fruit and…

9g of sugar/day??? Does anybody thinks this could be maintained for more than a day? If so please send me your diary log i would want to know how!!

This is great! Thanks!

Here is mine hope you can get some ideas out of it Chicken breast Beef chunks Turkey burgers Veggie filets Salmon Pita pockets Cranberry and walnut bread Small tortilla wrap Blue cheese Feta cheese Tzaziki sauce Mozzarella cheese Cheese Eggs Greek yogurt Organic low fat milk Red onions Green onions Onions Bell peppers Baby…

Hey, Mikes hard limonade LITE is only 129 cal:)

I agree. Further more there is no one here that said i tried it but didn't work or didn't like it. Only take advice from people that tried it. I never ever had a sugar rush from juice and you cant drink too much of it anyway because a bag of carrots makes like 1 1/2 cup of carrot juice lol. I personally wouldn't sit there…

Just bought our first juicer and I can’t believe that we haven’t done it earlier. The sugar coming from fruits and vegetables should not be anybody’s concern. I do juicing in addition to my breakfast and feel great full of energy. Even if I don’t eat breakfast with my juice I am not hungry because I get all my nutrition…

Hey Peps. Me and the hubby tried it. I lost 3lbs and he lost 5lbs. Despite the fact that we did eat 1200cal a day we were still STARVING. After all it was worth nothing gained it all back not even in 5 days. I though why not try it just to mix up the game, sounded doable was completly worthless 3 days of starving for no…

Hmmm there is so many.....but everyonce in a wh -Mocha covered almonds -Tiramisu -Bacon -Anything from Starbucks -PHO vietnamese soup-- suprised I dont see other people mention this -Mexican food :) mmmm

Honestly the only thing that worked for me to save money is too cook meals at home in bulk. Like lentil soup for example all you need is lentils,.celery, onions, tomatoes, and carrots. Maximum $8 for a huge pot, and freeze whatever you dont eat, thats enough for me for 5 lunches. Any kind of soup is cheap in if you buy…

Iam originally from Hungary, but lived in Ireland and now in Colorado. I think the biggest issue here is that eating out is more affordable here then in Europe, and the hidden calories and prcessed food is part of nearly everyones diet. In europe if you are poor you eat at home, here if you are poor you eat in gas stations…

I started to re create the starbucks lunch boxes at home. Low cal and very tasty Their protein box has peanut butter, eggs, cheese, grapes, apple slices Veggie box: goats cheese, tzaziki sauce, carrots, peppers, cherry tomatoes, cranberry and apple crackers. To re create this at home only cost me a dollar or two.

Try honey roasted almonds, boiled eggs, terra vegetable chips, ham strips, tuna, mozerella cheese. even chicken nuggets sometimes:) I try and stay low carbs by eating only eggs and bacon for breakfast, and eating salad with chicken for lunch, thay way i can have some carbs with snacks and dinner. Used to have bagels and…

I only buy organic of the fruits and veg that has a thin layer, like tomatoes, lettuce, peppers, apples, peaches, grapes. If you eat non organic of these foods you will end up consuming the chemicals too, which on a long term could end up getting you sick, but at this point it hasnt been officially proven, but my body…

Here is the link http://www.livestrong.com/article/316125-how-many-calories-does-pho-soup-have/ I love love pho, and MFP also has nutrition info if you just search for pho, chicken pho...it will bring it up. prob around 900 cal for 3 cups depends...i usually dont put the extra sauce in there just makes it even higher in…

Hello. I am 5.5 not sure i might be too tall for this topic.28yrs old. 147 currently trying my best to get down to 137 ish. That would be the dream. Love working out, and living in CO,usually eating healthy, but noting seems to do the trick. Moved to the US an year ago from Ireland, havent gained more then a couple of…

Try honey roasted almonds, they are sweet but not to high in junk:)

Hey, I have been to a homeopatic doc with the same problem and in 2 months and my iron levels are back to normal and i dont take them anymore. She made me realize how important quality is when it comes to supplements. Try this: Perque Activated B-12 Guard ( you need good quality of B12 for the iron to absorb) this brand is…

I usually have fruit shakes,smooties put them in plastic cups and drink them on the way to work. Boiled egg will keep you full forever, and if i wake up with sweet tooth i eat apple and penaut butter. good luck!

I havent eaten this brand, but salmon burgers allways do it for me :)

Hey, I usually eat kind bars, or hard boiled eggs. Hummus and tzaziki sauce with carrots of celery. I also love mozerella sticks. Also this is the season of honey crips apples, they sell them in WFoods or safeway, they are to die for;) Good luck!

The heavier you are the more calories you can have a day. Lot more things will fit in it, nearly anything you want. As long as you keep excercising you will loose weight. The smaller you get the harder you will have to try to eat clean to still loose any weight and fit your meals in your cal allowence. You can not eat…

Hi, What is your goal, and whats your daily calorie goal? Getting strenght will be a good way to move forward, it will give you energy to pull though on tough workouts. I log everything too. l lost 20 pounds a while ago and hit 150lbs, since then i still work out various circuits and cardio 3x a week. I am aiming for about…
