For breakfast I have oat bran, oat meal or steel cut oats. I add a teaspoon of almond butter(or peanut butter), cream cheese and a scoop of whey protein powder. I also have 2 slices of bacon with this. I am full until around 12 noon. I work at a fast passed high stress level job and this tides me over til I can have lunch.…

I started getting heart burn after drinking Optimum Nutrition whey protein. I switched brands and the heart burn has stopped.

bumping, cant wait to make this!

They are opening up in The Woodlands Texas area!! I can't wait!

Your progress is amazing!! Great job and you look GOOD!!! I grew up eating the same way. Which lead me to cooking unhealthy. I would cook rice , beans and potatoes with a little bit of meat , very little vegetable. Now I make sure I eat lots of vegetables and the starch is the smallest food on my plate. Oh I eat very…

Thank you for sharing. Thats some yummy looking meals ! I luv PB and banana sandwiches!!

I have an office , so I close my door and do my jumping jacks.

I cook mine in the microwave . After its done I add butter and 1 tablespoon of cream cheese. I eat it with 2 slices of bacon on the side. Some days I had almond butter , yummy!!

Your shoulders and arms look manly to me. But you do have a little curve at the bottom of your sports bra.

Interesting, I am trying cheat (carb load) days for 30 days to see how it goes. After my first 2 cheat days my weight went up 3 pounds. I did not freak out cause I figured it was just water weight. On the 4th day my weight was back down and I had lost a pound and a half. I spent weeks researching carb cycling before I…

I know the feeling. I have two bags of nice work clothes (size 10 &12's)some with taggs in my gargage that I need to donate. I wish I new someone I could give them to. I'm wearing a size 8 now and they are getting lose. For black friday I purchased two pairs of size 6 slacks. They are just a lttle snugg in the thigh area…

Almonds.

It's strange to me to. Everytime I watch it , I think to myself with her amazing body , I'm sure she does not use that product in real life.

I use red pepper on most of my food. I can not say if it really helps my metabolism or not .

Great job, size 4 amazing!

I'm so happy we have an ignore button!!:grumble: OP I weigh 140.8 pounds and i'm 5'6 1/2. My BF is 26.5%. My goal weight is 135 with 20%BF. I have a lot of work ahead of me.

i consumer 90-120 grams per day.

I started off LC by doing the Dukan diet. Which in my option a LC and low fat diet. I did it for 30 days and lost about 15 pounds. I then did my own customized carb diet, which entailed me increasing my fat intake to about 50% of my diet. At this time I am about 8 pounds away from my goal . The weight lose seems to have…

I never used it but the friends I knew who were on it gained weight, and grew facial hair . One even had a section of her hair to become weak /brittle and broke off. Sorry this is happening to you !

I really enjoyed Fat Head. In fact I watch it over and over again. I use to be very strict with my fat intake , now I have lightened up.

Thanks for this information. I checked out your profile and went to some of the links you have listed. Wish me luck!! I know I will have to hide my scale so I want freak out over any fluctations in my weight.

Do what works for you!! I'm not sure if it matters but I'm not eating carbs at night to find out. Yea I said it carb phobia at night, LOL!!! Seriously, when I was younger I could eat/drink what ever I wanted and it had no effect. Now that I'm older it seems harder to keep the weight off. I'm not sure if its a hormonal…

I'm going to give this a try for 30 days to see if I can see some changes in my weight loss. My fist day will be this friday. Then next week Thanksgiving will be my spike day. The one thing that concerns me is I have read that if you have more then 20% body fat it may not work . I am at 26% body fat now so I will have to…

Thats a major difference! Oh yes people can't help but notice your loss. Great job! Just wait tell you get some clothes that are not big! They will really be making comments.

I plan to use it as my spike day. The next day back on track .

"sorry but you heard wrong, there is no metabolic advantage to low carb diets" [/quote] My body tells me otherwise! I was eating the same number of calories before and I cut out carbs and I am losing an average of almost 2 pounds a week. It is working for me! [/quote] "It's working for me to!!"

I customize my macros 10/30/60.

bumping to read later

You are rocking that swim suit! Geat job!
