I saw a You Tube clip of Dr. Mercola discussing IF...he feels that staying under 50 calories (accounting for coffee, sugar-free gum, etc) will keep the fast.

I'm giving it a try too after reading about the benefits. Only on day 3. Shooting for a 7 hour feed- so pretty mild. I like it so far...not thinking about food all day like I was with the 5 small meals plan I was following. Feeling like I eat more intuitively- which is nice after eating so often because I think it's a…

I'm 45 years old and I still remember, vividly, all the dates I went on with my Daddy. I felt so incredibly special! A girl never forgets what it feels like to be treated that well...she will measure every man who enters her life against her Daddy. What a lucky little girl you have- all Daddies should give their daughters…

Read Dr. Hyman's Blood Sugar Solution or Dr. Strand's Releasing Fat...sounds like you are doing the right things in terms of nutrition and exercise but a lot more can play into it... it is important that your hormones are in balance, that you get enough sleep, eat enough fiber, etc. These things can affect your success as…

I can totally relate. In my case, I notice that I pick at my nails and cuticles MORE when I am actively trying to lose weight. When I was eating unchecked, I was better able to leave my nails alone. Try using Nailtiques - it is a nail protein. They have three different formulas that will take you to healthy, strong nails.…

I read somewhere that there are so many factors affecting weight loss...age, gender, hormonal balance, activity level, genetics, metabolism, illness, etc. all factor in. For some of us, it is not calories in / calories out.

Yay for the curly girls! Curly hair is dry so moisturize with Argan Oil or warm coconut oil. I love my Visible Changes products...first Edit and follow up with Voluptitude. I also love my Sebastian Whipped Creme!

I started about three weeks ago after reading Dr, Hyman's "Blood Sugar Solution". Have lost 3.5 but still feeling mentally foggy, headachey, & tired. Waiting for that natural energy to kick in!

Dr. Hyman's book "The Blood Sugar Solution" is also excellent.

Read Dr. Ray Strand's book called "Releasing Fat" and see if you think anything applies to you or your situation. You may be suffering from insulin resistance- you describe some of the symptoms. He details a nutritional plan that will improve your general health & eliminate sugar cravings...with a side effect of fat loss.

We visited Iceland a few years back and they love Doritos Cool Ranch there...except the Icelanders have no understanding of "Ranch" as a flavor so the packaging reads Doritos "Cool American" flavor! We loved it!

I thought the margarita tasted bad. You can make your own version and this tastes great: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, 1 shot tequila, 1/2 - 1 shot of agave nectar, juice of 1 lime and shake! I even add chilled mineral water to mine...

I've always taken the time to plan & cook healthy meals. That is a feat in and of itself! The thought of cooking what each kid wanted didn't sit well with me! 1) you eat what was prepared for you ...I took the time to do it so it's rude to complain (I never made them finish anything-but they had to have a few bites) 2) if…
