My doctor told me to use decaf and he said the best way to wean yourself off regular was to use regular and decaf together. Gradually decrease the amount of regular over a 4 week period and you won't get the headaches. I didn't. I used 1 scoop (from slimfast)of regular coffee before I began. So I divided it by 1/4 each…

I know what you mean. Under a lot of stress right now. DH is having anxiety attacks and no amount of reasoning has helped. Dr has prescribed RX but it hasn't worked either. On top of that I babysit my 4 & 2 yo grandsons every day. Trying not to eat but I'm still eating and eating the wrong things. I've lost 120 lbs in the…

where do you buy the cocoa protein powder at?

My doctor requires me to eat at least 60 gms a day, so I'm always over on here.:flowerforyou:

My dh has bad allergies and also arthritis. He has a concoction that he mixes up for both problems. Someone gave him the recipe. 1 quart apple juice 1 quart grape (grape colored) juice 1 cup apple cider vinegar 1 cup raw honey Mix and refrigerate. Drink 2 ounces every day. He swears its helped both his problems. If I don't…

Forgot to tell you I use the sublingual type. Just put it under your tongue and let it melt.

Have you ever tried Vitamin B12? My doctor put me on this. I take 1000mg 2 times a week. Gives me energy and keeps me alert. I'm a grandmother and babysit a 4 year old and a 22 month old every day.

I did. It didn't help shrink my stomach. Have you considered other treatment besides the Hysterectomy? Do a search and discuss it with your doctor. If I had it to do over I would have went with other treatments first. The effects that a H. has on your life are forever. Menopause and hot flashes are immediate along with…

I like green tea but my doctor told me you can get the same effect and antioxidants from plain old tea. I have to drink decaf. Not allowed to have caffeine. The caffeine is what gives you the energy and it's also an appetite increaser.

I agree. There should be an easier system so that you wouldn't have to look through the whole thing to find a recipe. I'm copying and pasting into a word document so that I can just refer to it and if you post you're at the very last page. Seems to me it would be better if the last person to post would be the first person…

I like cottage cheese too. I used to make a recipe that used a package of jello, a small can of crushed pineapple, an 8 oz container of cottage cheese and I believe a small container of cool whip. I'll look for the recipe this evening. I believe you just mix these all together. Another thing I do is sprinkle crystal light…

I'm a sweet lover when I diet. Don't understand it because when I'm not dieting I hardly ever eat them. Here's one of my favorite recipes and I make it alot to take to church functions and everybody always wants the recipe. Don't know caloric value but when I went to WW, the leader helped me figure points value=3. Can be…
