On a Mission to Continuing to Restore Health - Diabetic Among Other Things
I've been eating healthy and doing traditional keto for the past 2.5 years as it helps to control my diabetes. I've recently switched to sometimes ovo-vegetarian or mostly vegan keto and have gone down 2 dresses in that process so far. I've also put my diabetes in remission and have substantially helped my PCOS (polycystic…

Losing Weight...Slowly.
I've been successful with my goals thus far with making slow changes to my lifestyle over the last 2 years; last year I stopped gaining weight and was able to successfully keep off 10lbs the entire year. This was quite a success for me as I've spent many years trying to stop overeating and dealing with cravings and poor…

Primal Chili
Tried a new recipe tonight for primal chili - used everything on the list but the balsamic vinegar (didn't have any.) It came out really good, my fiance and 13 year old goddaughter went back for seconds...and now she's asking me for thirds! :D http://www.thefoodieandthefamily.com/2011/10/18/primal-beef-chili/

I has question!
I've been eating primal for about 3-4 months now, recently increasing the fats ration to above the protein ratio. I try to eat slightly above my BMR, but below my TDEE and try to get in some exercise and play. I've definitely had many NSV's and have lost inches (you can take a look at my profile pictures for a 30 day…

Primal Diaries
I realized that I am on the verge of naturally following a Primal lifestyle. I've read some good information about the lifestyle and have plenty of resources...but I would really like to see is some diaries of my fellow MFP'ers who follow the primal lifestyle. If you have an open diary and are Primal, or are willing to…

The Color Run
I just signed up for my first 5k at the bequest of a family member that I haven't spoken to in a while (good bonding opportunity) so I went ahead and registered. Presently, I can walk about 2.25 miles before being in pain as I have a few health issues...but I fully intend to rise to the challenge. Matter of fact, I was…

How do you calculate the calories in this?
I'm on a liquid diet today, so I made some homemade chicken broth for my much needed protein. Here is the recipe I used: http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Homemade-Chicken-Broth Can someone explain how they calculate the nutritional facts in this? The answer is just not obvious to me, as you do not eat any of the chicken…

Is this right?
At the gym tonight, I did some leg presses, lifting 195lbs...I did about 3 sets of 10. I felt like I could lift more (i.e. I didn't feel like I had to stop at 10, I felt like my muscle could have done more) but my knees had a twinge of pain, so I listened and stopped. I haven't lifted any weights in years and have been…

Vegetable Steamer?
I'd like to be able to take raw vegetables to work and steam them in the microwave when I'm having meals. Ideally, I will have already chopped up the vegetables. I would like to put them into a meal-sized container that doubles as a microwave-safe small steamer. Note, that I want to eat just one serving of veggies at a…

Ready? Set! Eat!
I thought it might be interesting to talk about how fast we eat! Many people may not know all of the benefits to taking your time to slowly and thoroughly chewing and eating your food. Some, may not even realize how fast they are eating (I was guilty of this one myself before.) Presently, it takes me anywhere from 20-45…
