The fact that you are on here means you have the motivations to change something. Pick one thing that's manageable and stick to it. How about going gluten free for one week. Keep eating carbs but try out quinoa pasta...it looks and tastes like real pasta. Try Rudi's gluten free breads---keep it in the fridge and have some…

A little known fact that doctors don't know or tell woman but the reason why we seem to be starving and never feel full a few days before TOM is because we are metabolism increases greatly during this time...so don't beat yourself up if you more hungry. See below: PMS cravings are related to the boost in metabolism before…

Cravings are for a reason. During PMS I am a salty carb craver...anything like french fries, chips popcorn... Your body craves because it needs either sugary or salty carbs to create serotonin or a deficiency...otherwise we would be more bonkers. I am not saying go ahead and eat an entire cake but if your body is craving…

Dairy, carbs and certain sugars make me bloat...even Stevia is a culprit of bloating. Taking an enzyme helps too...eating very small portions. Apple Cider vinegar does help ...make sure you dilute first. But if you are bloated all the time and at normal weight...it is could be due to yeast overgrowth. Just taking a few…

Perimenopause...i tried everything for 8years and still I would slowly gain...now I am almost menopause and aware of everything. I did not know that when your body stops producing estrogen...everything you eat will turn into fat to try to convert your hormones to estrogen. It was a losing battle now I take organic methods…

HI I have had it most of my life...since perimeno...it is much more normal due to weight gain. I used to get dizzy when I would exercise. I did find out that low blood pressure is also a symptom of thyroid issues usually hypo/adrenal fatigue. I try to balance sodium with potassium and magnesium. Low blood pressure can also…

Lots of interesting information....I believe we have evolved into a society based in cultural foods and location being a factor of what we adapt to for nutrition. When some of the Asian cultures came over after the Vietnam---they had a difficult adapting to dairy but now in the second generation of the influx...the younger…

I hate it when your friend is like " I gained so much weight I'm 5'9" and I weigh 135" and meanwhile your 5" and way 150. Do they have any clue what they are saying....or are they fishing for complements? : )

I agree to a certain extent but if you say HGH is stupid or dumb or some other diet...how would you know unless you have gone on that diet and seen that it has not worked. When I give suggestions is when I have done it and it worked or didn't work.

HI I find that dairy, coffee, chocolate and any highly acidic food will cause reflux especially if you lay down within 3 hours of eating them. Taking a tablespoon of Raw Organic Apple Cider Vinegar mixed in water...works almost Immediately. The prescription drugs mask the issue actually causing your stomach to become…

Hi I only use one scale...when I go to the Doctor's I'm always over...because I have clothes on or I had already eaten. Also, going through peri/meno thing...weight doesn't budge...just started taking some natural things...they are helping. Good luck

I used to have hypotension which is low blood pressure it was never a problem because I was not overweight until now. Everytime I got up I would get dizzy or light headed. I know that blood can pool and when you get up you get a head rush. I also did some digging because my metabolism starting shutting down...thus my…

HI I feel for you ...I maybe a lot older than you and one thing I have discovered is life is TOO short. After I was laid off...I also decided to clean house....and soul. I let go of friends and relationships that were one-sided, manipulative and toxic. You learn later on in life so called friends can suck the living life…

Definitely Salma Hayek...she has natural curves and she is short...I can relate... ;)

Hi If you are just moderately active you should be able to take in 1500 to 2000 calories a day and not gain weight. You may not want to decrease your calories that drastically. If you take in few calories your body will want to keep what you have in order to survive and of course no weight loss. The only way to increase…
