when you dramatically reduce carbs your body starts to go through ketosis [burning your fat for energy source when the carbs aren't coming in like they used to] (can lead to feel ucky, irritated, tired, bad breath, etc)...

It has antiviral, cleansing (liver) applications but I'm not sure if it would actually INDUCE weight loss. My guess is that since the pH is low (3ish) - by adding lemon juice to foods you could lower the food's GI which could make the food you eat healthier...?

Crunchy as in burnt? Crunchy as in hard/ al-dente? I cook mine in a pan filled with an inch of water at 325 F for 30 minutes.

Is anyone with celiac/ following paleo or SCD having trouble eating fruits (especially starchy fruits like bananas and fruit with pectin - like apples with the skin?) I'm just wondering if fruit specifically is advocated for by paleo dieters (I've read many mixed reviews on the topic of fruit). Evolutionary theory makes a…

I put honey and cinnamon on mine - DELISH!

I agree - perhaps you need to drink more fluids - or low sodium soup (broth based) to supplement your caloric demands. You could be over-exercising...but maybe your body is just adjusting to a strenuous workout regime and needs time to acclimate - thus the headaches. Are you doing weight-bearing exercises (like running…

Whoa! Sounds great - perhaps wrapping them in lettuce would be tasty too...if i could resist the carbs...

Do cardio! Stay away from pilates and yoga which can make your upper body boxy. Although yoga will make you toned. Do not do any sit-ups or pilates (this will increase the thickness of your waist and diminish the hourglass shape)

For which use? Biotin stimulates hair and nail growth (and to an extent - skin growth). Women's Day or pills found at GNC are really helpful. I've found that the biotin supplements work better in the summer months. *Be wary of claims that biotin increases your nail growth. I would recommend starting biotin in the winter…

Keep exercising. Do not slack off and eat a ton of carbohydrates or known foods that can interfere with estrogen and progesterone. I.e. stay away from soy, soy milk, tofu, hummus, etc.

It has been EXTREMELY challenging for me to get to my goal weight of 115lb. I fluctuate between 118-122 lbs. I do not want people to tell me that "weight is just a number" because I do, in fact, realize that it is. 115lb is my goal and I am going to get to that weight the healthy way. I go to the gym everyday, I eat…

also, there are a lot of options if you're unnecessarily frightened to use olive oil: veggie spray, almond butter, peanut butter, coconut butter, etc...

I'm an Italian-American and I can tell you that "American-Italian" food is not the food people in Italy eat..... I mean, how much fish do you actually see on a typical, affordable Italian restaurant in the US (...or even NY)? - at best it's salmon, mussels, some tuna dish, pasta fra diavolo. I also don't understand the…

I cook basically everything with olive oil.... (and I also deep condition my hair with it once a month...it's great!) and I haven't seen any weight gain. My Italian-American family also adds to it everything. Olive Oil >>> Butter

This sounds delicious - and only 11 g carbs! definitely trying this week

Vinegar + Feta Cheese + Tomato Juice + Diced cherry tomatoes + lemon juice = my version of Mediterranean

*also, any recipes related to SCD?

Try to build up your workouts/mileage with interval training - youtube/google "interval training" (it maximizes recovery time & endurance training). In terms of food - I would increase your protein intake - lean meats... BH Turkey with horseradish mustard is my favorite. Pre-race, wake up 2-3 hours before and have a Power…

Last year, my New Years' resolution was to give up ALL candy (yes, every type) and it WORKED! I let everyone know my goal and my friends and family held me accountable. Once March rolled around, I didn't even want junk food anymore. It gets easier with time. I re-gift any chocolates or candy packages! Now I munch on frozen…

I'm 125 right now but I'm hoping to become a lean 115lb. Where I go to college, most girls look absolutely anorexic and lose weight the wrong way. I'm hoping to lose the weight through portion control, more cardio + weights, and Zumba/ Knock-out workout classes.
