Hi, I'm a longtime lurker. I don't eat sweet oatmeal anymore, only savory. Just use veg/chicken/beef stock instead of water and then top with whatever you want. I'm partial to roasted chipotle salsa and goat cheese.

I used to broil it with lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. Use more spices if you're not tasting enough. You can never have enough garlic (intolerances aside).

Yeah, your breakfast is fairly carb-heavy (particularly if you leave out the eggs), so you aren't going to stay full for as long. Scrambled eggs with veggies and some fruit on the side makes a nice breakfast. You could also try some non-dairy yogurts - I've seen coconut milk yogurt at Whole Foods that looks pretty good.…

The diet issues coincided with the time she came off hormonal BC? Seems like a large factor to me.

My favorite ice cream alternative is frozen banana. If you put it in a food processor, it comes out just like ice cream! Not sure if you're trying to make something for yourself, though, or plan for a party.

I LOVE my Trek 7.3FX. It is a hybrid, so it is light enough for consistent road use, but also has treads for bumpier terrain. http://www.trekbikes.com/us/en/bikes/town/fitness/fx/7_4_fx_wsd/#

Yeah, I think the only really bad part about cheese is the sodium. I really like those little mini baybel pieces that come packed in wax.

I second the paleo diet recommendation. It basically removes everything that you are allergic to.

Leaving the meat in your diet is actually a good idea, or at least replacing it with a high-protein substitute if you want to go the vegetarian route. High protein + high veggies + reasonable amount of fruit generally makes me feel pretty good.

Thanks, everyone, for the adds! It really makes a difference to see people who are at or around my goal weight (or who are working on getting there as well).

Hello! Being vegetarian doesn't mean you have to eat a ton of carbs. Beans provide a ton of protein (along with fiber) and are very inexpensive. Also, look into buying/making seitan. You could also eat veggie meat for protein, but I know some people don't like that.

I get dishydrotic eczema (caused by water exposure and mostly limited to the hands), and I have a prescription cream that makes it disappear immediately. It's the only thing that's ever worked. It's called Vanos. I get regular eczema around my eyes every now and then and use shea butter to clear it up.
