I recently made a coconut curry soup with veggies. it was 2 cans of coconut milk, 2 cans veg stock, chopped kale, chopped sweet potatoes, chopped onions, chopped poblano chile ( not hot) spinach, not sure how much but tumeric, smoked paprika, salt and pepper to taste. its yummy.

I have asked my doctors many times if soy products, soy protein shakes etc are bad for me to take or negatively affect my thyroid and they all keep assuring me that it really makes no difference. one said it would only maybe make any difference if i took a soy shake with my armourthyroid… I got on thyroid meds for my…

thank you all. i don't track my food, it sounds bad but it drives me nuts looking up every single condiment and thing i eat… mostly i have a 80 cal meal replacement shake for 1 - 2 meals and eat dinner as usual…. idk… i think i will just only weigh myself every other month.

I am 3 weeks into Insanity and have lost 5 inches but no weight loss. they claim i should eat about 2200 cal/day but that is too hard. i bearly have time to eat with my 1 year old climbing my leg every second lol. so i just eat when i can and until im full.. but i hope i lose some weight by the end, it is so intense if i…

have you gotten good results from insanity so far? my husband and i are going into week 3 on monday... i definately feel stronger but havent measured myself from the start (whoops) . I'm hoping to lose some inches :0) btw how was hip hop abs? good results? was it hard like insanity? i feel like after doing this much of…

im feeling much better. u guys were right! thank u

im dealing with the same thing, i can hardly put down 1800 cal/day. insanity wants me to eat 2800! it takes me like 2 hours just to eat the 4 egg omelet and toast. i dont get it..

im eating basically the same stuff i have been, just more of it, chicken, fish, salads, veggies berries, whole grains eggs etc. i get a GOOD amount of sleep as well at night.. only started being tired when i started insanity, but maybe its just my body adjusting

im kind of in the same boat.. ive only lost 5 lbs in the last almost 4 months. and i am working out hard in the gym AND doing Insanity daily plus the insanity diet. i dont really get it.

WOWZERS! you all have a good size breakfast! i have like 2 eggs and MAYBE a piece of whole wheat toast... glad to know i can eat bacon/ham/ and fruit and yogurt...yay :0)

i dont know all the ins and outs as i am just beginning the weight loss journey, but i started at 1200 cal per day while working out 5-6 days a week and didnt lose weight for over 2 months, then i was told about tdee and BMR and all that and they recommended 1800 cal a day, .. although i havent been counting calories, i am…

i dont have an answer for you but i sure hope so! i ate alot of dessert and drank a bit this past weekend which i normally dont do. plus i didnt workout for a few days... if it boosts my weight loss... i will enjoy this healthy lifestyle a bit more lol

i have always used a blender for green juice because my juicer bearly makes any juice with tons of produce.. i usually just do spinach, cucumber, flax seed, vanilla yogurt and a banana, that seems to be my base, sometimes i add berries...

thank you for your replies, i dont think there will be a physical difference, im thinking more a difference in the texture, taste of the meat itself... i just went to a butcher a few days ago and holy cow was it expensive, about $18/lb for beef and almost 9$/lb for chicken! so i went to just an average grocery store other…

our family has noticed the same thing!! we've been eating healthier only going on 3 months, but withint he first month eating brats made us sick, a recent discovery: weve been using REAL cheese not the processed stuff ... my husband made a grilled cheese with kraft singles and couldnt even finish it, i tried it too and it…

thank you all... aside from all the chemicals and stuff i just found out that certain non organic veggies etc have half of the nutrients and stuff because they have so many chemicals on them or something... but we live fairly close to a trader joes, i will have to stop in there and check it out, i have never been to one.

i think its both... its supposed to add on lean muscle mass, its a protein powder though, from GNC. i asked them what to take so i dont bulk up because i always seem to when i lift weights, and thats what the recommended

i use a blender and just blend everything because my juicer doesnt produce much just and the cleanup is super tedious... and is expensive...

thank you all, i will work on my core , the strong sholders thing makes sense, luckily ive been already working on those...staying active ... all great advice, thank you all

its been going down ok with me so far over 2 months in... i like that i dont feel that good if i splurge on junk food its a good internal reminder that the body really craves healthy fresh whole foods... but we have been eating chicken for lunch and dinner every night for like almost he 2 months... and i LOVE chicken, but…

its a nice idea :0) i just ate a small bit of my stash and i feel super sick, i dont eat anything sweet and i just had some chocolate chips in ricotta cheese aka canoli filling :0/

I used alli years ago and i did not exercise at all, i was in school so sitting most the day, and i still lost 2lbs per week. i would do it again this time around but i lost the books so i dont know how many calories/ fat i would get each meal and i dont want to have bowel issues so ive just been trying the old fashioned…

my husband and i go out once a week and eat one meal that is moderately unhealthy, but i mean its still like chicken and mashed potatoes but they might have a cheese sauce... i have no interest in eating junk often. usually makes me feel ill honestly. but i just cant stop thinking about sweets. usually i have a banana with…

thank you, ill stick with circuit training for now. :0)

it only happens if we eat like 8 servings of white pasta or brats which are pure grease... i mean we can still go to tgi fridays and eat and feel fine.

im going through the same thing, i just found out about BMR nd TDEE yesterday, MPF set me to eat 1200 cal a day. i am 23 years old 60 in tall and weight 172, i have gained 6lbs since i started eating pretty clean and working out 5-6 days a week. pretty discouraging, and since then i have stayed at 172 for about a month…

thank you so much for posting this, i have been reeling beacuse i actually gained 6 lbs since i began eating healthy and working out over a month ago, but i see changes in my body and KNOW that i have slimmed. its really gotten me discouraged. this makes me feel better :0) thank you thank you thank you!

i started my "healthy living" a little over a month ago, for the first two weeks i cut out all bread pasta carbs.. well i didnt even eat whole grains for the two weeks, i just had no bread rice pasta.. just lean meats fruits veggies and nuts .. and in the beginning i went from 166 to 162, but i slowly added whole grains…

33.4% body fat according to military calculator..aka 57 lbs.. sigh lol sooo TDEE is 2443 X .15=366.. so 2443-366= 2077 so ... 1900 should be ok. im so nervous this sounds crazy i dont think ive ever eaten that many calories in a day aside from like the occassional fast food which i havent had in months... what happens if i…

idk its all confusing. according to MPF set at 1200 ill lose like one pound a week. which hasnt been happeneing at all. so im going to try upping my calories and see where that leads hopefully not to more weight gain!
