Want to make the transition BUT worried about gaining
This is a pic of my groceries last week. I am definitely incorporating a lot more veggies, but I'm scared to add in fruits b/c of the calories (sugar). I started my journey at 220lbs coming back from Carb Country (Italy) and have lost 28 lbs (in about 3 months) by increasing my protein and veggies and cutting out carbs. I…

WHy I follow a low fat raw vegan diet
I wanted to share with you all a little bit about my dietary lifestyle. While I don’t let a label define who I am, my food choices fall into the high raw low fat vegan category. After almost two years of research on nutrition, I find this to be the ideal lifestyle for not only a healthy lifestyle, but also for fueling the…

Help me share my story
I have reached my first goal of 50 lbs lost, but now I am setting out to loose another 30-50 lbs for a total loss of anywhere from 80 to 100 lbs. Last year I attended the Woodstock Fruit Festival and I got so much help from people and was so motivated to hit my goal to reach 50 lbs lost. This year I need help to get to the…

What you can do when you think you HAVE TO...
I decided that today I would meet with a personal trainer to discuss my goals for the coming year and to do a workout and test out the chemistry. I lost track of time and got to the gym right before my appointment. I usually do my cardio before any lifting or strength training, so I told myself I would get on the treadmill…

Why I love to write (and you should to)
Why I love to write (and you should too) There’s something about a blank page staring back at you. There’s something about knowing that you can transpose your thoughts on to that page for eternity. When we keep thoughts locked up in our minds, we deprive ourselves of getting to know our true selves. Often times our…

Help!!! Diet vs Social life????
ok can I confess??? It's getting really hard to have a (social) life and be good. The options are not always great and I don't want to be the "downer" that's always saying "no, I can't have" The options for me are getting slimmer and slimmer, but I don't want to get bigger and bigger as a consequence. I always try to make…

Nike Fuel Band
Does anyone have this? I want one REALLY bad, but it's still so new and am worried there might be glitches with the technology and syncing. These are my questions.. 1) how accurate is it? 2) can you track individual workouts- or is it just a running log for the day? 3) how well does it sync? 4) it's NEW - so have all the…

Ready for the next 35lbs!
I started my weight loss journey back on January 11, 2012. I was able to loose 40 lbs in 6 months, but about that time life crept in and things began getting hectic. I forgot to log into myfitnespal one day and lost my 200+ days logged in- I was so sad that I guess I kinda stopped logging in. I also stopped posting on my…

thoughts on a Pseudo-Dukan Diet???
What do you guys think would happen in a little tweaking of Dukan. My problem is the PP days. Now that I've started working FT again (not to mention doing my Masters)- it's getting harder to do PP days all day long what would happen if I did it by meals say on my PP days have a PV lunch but then on my PV days substitute…

MY food pyramid (pic)
From my blog: www.me-on-dukan.blogspot.com (for larger pic) So, I've been transitioning out of Dukan into a more whole foods based diet. I have incorporated a lot more fruits, vegetables and greens and am currently about 75% raw. I have cut out all cow-based dairy products because after much research, this is not something…

ice cream for breakfast (with pic)
This is better than a breakfast smoothie, but really you can have it any time... The night before take some ripe bananas and smash them up with a fork till they are all goo (in a bowl). Then put in your favorite treats- I used Trader Joe's Almond butter with flax seeds, and a little bit of raw honey-- and smash it all in…

juicing vs blending
So, I've recently been trying to incorporate more RAW foods into my diet. I love cooking, so it's been a lot of fun (ironic isn't it?) b/c you get to really test your creativity. I have to admit that going RAW is VERY expensive, but totally worth it if you think how well it is for your health and how preventative it is in…

Healthy chips & guacamole
I love this recipe! I used a food dehydrater for the chips, but I think you could easily do the same in the oven. Chips: Take 2 zucchinis, thinly slice, then dehydrate over night (they will get smaller when you cook, so not too thin) Guacamole: take a ripe avocado and smash up with the bottom end of a fork. Then add in…
