  • My sister-in-law recommended it to me, so I used it for 3 months. It was very gentle, but effective. I felt like it was a good thing to do. I used all the pills but had about 2/3 of a can of the powder drink left over at the end of the 3 months, so I use it every couple of months now (for about a week at a time) when I'm…
  • I had never heard of it, but a quick google told me more than enough. Check out this link: http://www.thedietchannel.com/Negative-calorie-diet.htm
  • I just remembered some more advice from the chiropractor about drinking water: It's not really related to weight loss, but he recommended NOT drinking any liquid (water or otherwise) within 30 minutes of any meal. He said it waters down your gastric juices and makes digestion less effective (or something like that... it's…
  • A chiropractor once told me that (from research he had read) the old "8 glasses a day" was too low to maintain health. He said 64 oz (8 glasses) is the bare minimum to keep your body from dying. He recommended half your body weight in oz (ie. you weigh 150, you drink 75 oz) as the healthy minimum. If you are exercising,…
  • Leslie Sansone Walk Away the Pounds/Walk at Home. If you are only getting one video, I would get a 4 or 5 mile walk then you can start at 1 or 2 miles and work up to the entire work out.
  • This is my question, too. Are these my base calories and then whatever exercise I do that day I eat or is this the max calories per day, no matter what exercise I'm doing? I've spent the last 2 hours searching all over the internet to try to figure it out, and this is the best answer I can find (right here on MFP):…
  • I had never heard of this until you asked the question. I found a post on MFP with lots of interesting info, including links to other calculators. Here's the post: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/15189-zig-zag-diet-or-calorie-shifting I've been plateauing for nearly 8 weeks now so I'm going to try this. Worst case,…
  • I love Leslie Sansone!! :heart: :heart: :heart: She has been my walking buddy all winter. I only have the 1-2-3 mile tapes from ages ago, but I borrow her newer ones from the library. They are great because you can make them as intense as you feel up to that day; adding weights if you're ready for more. I discovered a new…
  • Sprinkle some in your french toast egg mixture. It gives so much flavor you almost don't need toppings for the toast.
  • I don't have the nutrition info on it, but here is a recipe I learned when I lived in Japan. I've modified it a bit for my family. Mabodofu 1 lb turkey sausage or plain ground turkey (the original recipe called for pork sausage) 2 cups chopped veggies (I use carrots, bell peppers, zucchini, broccoli, whatever you like…
  • If you aren't opposed to doing videos, check if there are any to borrow from your local library. That's where I get most of my workout videos.
  • I have never been able to find a store-bought hummus that I like. However, my sister-in-law gave me a great recipe. This is the base which you can eat as is or you can add any other flavorings, spices, etc. The best part is you can adjust it to your own taste. For example, I've never made it with the Tahini because I…
