I personally don't use the default setting on MFP. I did custom and set my macros to 40% protein, 30% carbs and 30% fat (based on several recommendations from fitness sites) with 1300 calories but am considering upping to calories to 1400. I lift weights 3x a week for 45 min and cardio 2-3 times a week for 30 min. I…

Add sodium and sugar to your tracked items: Calories, Carbs, Fat, Protein, Sodium & Sugar. Once you do that, I'm sure you will see that you are eating a LOT of sodium & sugar. Under goals, change your goals to custom, put in the number of calories you want to eat per day and then set your macronutrients to 40 (protein), 30…

I would definitely add sodium and sugar to the things that you already track- calories, carbs, fat & protein. Deli meat has a lot of sodium as well as anything from Zaxby's (yum Zaxby's!) Snapple has 26g of sugar alone! Try to take 1 day a week and prepare most of your food at home for the week so that you are not jumping…

You might also want to try liquid Magnesium (Peter Gillham's Natural Calm). Useful for numerous things but one thing in particular that it helps with is muscle tension, spasms and cramps. I don't know if it would help but it's worth a try. :)

To Darlis- I saw this on the news about MS and thought I would share with you. The news reporter had her "silver" fillings removed and has been symptom free. Here are the links but if you don't want to click on the link, you can go to www.fox17.com and type multiple sclerosis in the search bar.…

Hi, both drmercola.com and draxe.com have a lot of info about dairy and gluten being inflammatory. Both strongly believe in eating real, whole foods and if you do have dairy, only raw, unpasteurized. A wealth of knowledge can be found on their sites. :)

To start off, you can put a chair right in front of you with one foot on it and slightly assist yourself up until you can manage on your own. Also, negatives as already mentioned. Start in the pulled up position and then slowly lower yourself down.

Hi again Wayne, yes and yes- I do not think you are eating enough calories nor the right ones. If you are consistently under your calorie goal, your body will go into "starvation mode". You've been there before with your weight loss but your body can only take so much. If you want Deli meat, watch the sodium content as it…

Hey Wayne, you run 4x's a week and are under your calorie goal 5x's a week? What happens to a car when it runs out of gas? It doesn't go. Your body is a machine and needs fuel so give it what it needs by at least meeting your calorie goal. Try to stick to lean meats such as turkey, chicken breast and fish- grilled, baked,…
