  • It took a while but changing my calories to match my current weight and activity level it took a week or so and the weight started to come down. For me mixing my diet up a little more really seemed to help. I drink a lot of coffee (decaf in the evening) and would totally agree that eating later (before zero activity level)…

  • Egg beaters with some sauteed fresh green peppers and sweet onions in a low cal/carb butter-like substance and some deli flats or thin bagels topped off with some cheese.

I eat egg beaters with veggies, low cal…

  • I have issues with both elbows and shoulders (tendonitis in both) which is caused by both my work and exercise.
