Ummm.... maybe that should be telling you something! :huh: That primal thing seems like someone's opinion and not based upon real science. I don't like the high-fat component. I'd weight a ton! If your job is doing physical labor, yeah, but not if you have an office job. If it were me, I'd go back to what worked for you.…

Sounds like you have bad shoes! I just got shin splints from working out too hard on the treadmill and have since learned a lot about athletic shoes. My new pair should be delivered today. The three basic types are neutral, stability and motion control. You might want to look at a New Balance stability shoe - they're…

You definitely have symptoms of low blood pressure. What surprises me, with you being in such good shape, is that your pulse rate is so high. Time to see a doctor.

I say yes - it will hydrate you. I don't think it makes a difference what "flavor" it is, as long as it's not loaded with sugar and caffein. It would still hydrate you with those things, but you don't need the extra sugar and the caffein will have a mildly diuretic effect so that's not as efficient. BTW, if tea won't…

What's happening on the goal date that you "have to" be down to your desired weight? Getting married? Starring in a movie? If not, lose your weight more slowly. If you try to go too fast you risk crash dieting - not healthy, and not sustainable over the long term (yeah, you'll gain it back!). That said, doing 500 calories…

As a rule, the harder the cheese, the higher the fat content. You can get some very good reduced fat cheddar - I'm fond of Sargento. You can also get reduced- or non-fat cream cheese. Neufchatel is naturally lower in fat than regular cream cheese. In "Marnie's Kitchen Shortcuts" by Marnie Swedberg, she describes how to…

Unfortunately, when I quit smoking my metabolism TANKED big time! In desperation, after a substantial weight gain, I started up again. BIG mistake - it didn't fix my metabolism and now I'm smoking again. Congrats on your quitting - please stay quit!

I trust mother nature! When I'm thirsty, I drink. Wow. What a concept! I've never had a problem dehydrating.

The only thing I take is the one that really works: Allí. It prevents your body from absorbing some of the fats that you eat. Works great, and I have trouble losing weight without it. The downside of it is that you HAVE to maintain a low-fat diet (less than 15 or 20 grams per meal) or the side effect is very unpleasant!

Are you healthy? You're pretty young yet. If you have no major health problems, I wouldn't worry about seeing a doctor (JMHO). If you have arthritis, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart problems, etc., then I would see a doctor. But most are grossly ignorant of nutrition, metabolism, and what things affect weight gain and…

Hi... I'm new here, but not new to dieting and exercise. Walking might be okay IF you are walking fast enough to get your heart working in the fat burning or cardio zone and you do it long enough. If you can, get a Polar heart monitor - it's a must for figuring out calories burned. You may have to jog if your heart rate…

Hi, Mary! I'm brand new here, too... 51 years old with about 50 pounds to lose. How close is that? I had to reply regarding your co-workers -- HOW IGNORANT! They want to win? Guess what? They have already LOST by not accepting and supporting YOU. Please go to my profile and read about how I got here. Feel free to friend me…
