Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
My husband found out he has non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. His liver enzyme numbers were off twice, but the family doctor told him not to worry about it. Then, he had two ultrasounds done by a GI doc. The first showed mild fatty liver, and the GI doc said nothing. He had to ask the doctor, and the doctor said it was…

People asking how I lost weight
I have about 70 lbs off. It has taken about 9 months. Every time someone notices my weight loss, they ask how I lost weight.

How many calories
How do I figure out how many calories to eat? I have over 100 to lose, don't get much activity (disabled) and eat 1600 calories a day. My daughter has 50 lbs to lose, works at a school and gets about 10,000 steps each day, and eats 1200 calories a day. I don't think she is eating enough. Where can I calculate how much we…

Last night

Instead, I managed to talk myself down from the ledge by reminding myself that I'd be awake with acid reflux all night if I binged, and that I really needed sleep. So, I had two turkey meat sticks (like small Slim…

Can anyone recommend some lower-carb breakfast ideas other than crustless quiches? I eat quite a bit of those, and I'd like some other ideas. I don't really need recipes at this point, just some ideas as to what others eat. Thanks
