While I have cured my insulin resistance and PCOS without the use of medication, I have not been trying to conceive. I do know, however, that healthy menstrual cycles are all about healthy hormone balance. The best way to balance hormones is to eat clean, wholesome food and participate in moderate weight bearing exercise…

Hey. Y'all get off onto tangents like crazy- it's really entertaining. I eat carbs. I don't understand where his came from! Haha! Carbs happen all evening, just little to none in the morning it's easy. Pay attention!! I don't eat out though because the food is generally unclean and or low quality. If I can budget a high…

It's all about high quality, nutrient dense food, regardless of what "diet" we eat. I agree that portion sizes are important, but in the big picture, it's all about quality. I don't even consider what I'm doing to be a "diet." It's a lifestyle change; it's eating-habit change; it's health consciousness. I'm not following…

Hey - I was just stating what worked for ME. Being vegan was difficult. This is not difficult. Difficulty is only a matter of personal experience. What do YOU recommend? :)

Hey guys. I wasn't trying to be sales pitchy. I just wanted to kindly share the things I learned when I changed my diet. Yes it's sustainable for me. Yes it's cheaper than the vegan diet I was following. No I don't fe restricted. After being vegan, on an extremely restricted diet, this diet I'm choosing for myself is quite…

Hey I said I was vegan for two years. Was. No longer vegan, obviously.

Being vegan is a challenge at first anyway, but being raw is a huge challenge the whole time. It's really hard to get the calories you need for energy. Yes, fruits and veggies have a lot of carbs/ sugar which offers energy, but exercising depletes the carb storage pretty quickly. I have been 95% raw for a few months now…

I'm about to go on a rant, since you want some motivation. ... :) YAY! While I personally do not have the blessing of a 10 month old, I do have a sister with 3 kids, a 7 yr old, 2 yr old, and a 10 month old. She's been through it, haha. I know it's hard to want to be active and do the workout past the first level. I'm…

Here I am, stuck at 6 pounds lost, wondering what it must feel like to look like a brand new person! I only need to lose 20 more,but that's the hard part. That's a big number in comparison to the 6 pounds. Seeing you make such great progress in so little time really inspires me to work a little harder. GREAT JOB. I hope…

I know this is way late, but I weigh 147 and burn only 460 in "Start it Up" (thats using my heart rate monitor). Am I doing something wrong? Maybe my monitor isn't accurate, but if anyone has any feedback, that'd be wonderful.

ALSO- This may motivate you guys ... I've been on a not-too-strict, simple fruit/ veggie/ yogurt/ lean meat diet for a while, well, I have been eating a little bit of junk food here and there lately... BUT- I have done Slim in 6 for 3 days... and I lost a pound. ONE POUND IN 3 DAYS. that's a possibility of 5 lb in 2 weeks,…

OH PLEASE DON' T GIVE UP! I know that ab routine is rough. I did it for the first time today and I couldn't handle it! If it's too much for ya, try some yoga. It really helps with mental clarity, breathing, balance, blood pressure, metabolism, strength, and it helps you stay limber! I'm not kidding you, the ab routine I…

I am 3 days in to Slim in 6 and I already feel great. I had already done Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred- but I didn't notice any results because I did it over... a sporadic 6 months. I didn't stick with it very hard. Biggest Loser Weight Loss Yoga is my morning routine, and it helps my muscles balance wonderfully! I really…
