South Beach Diet & Carbs
I am on day 4 of Phase One of SBD and was just wondering how many grams of carbs I should be eating in this phase? So far the highest carb count I have gotten to is net 3 grams. I am pretty sure that my body is going to go into ketosis if I keep going. Is that ok? It is for just 2 weeks, so I don't think it would be…

Clomid
Does clomid help with your cycle length? I have missed so many periods and never really had a normal cycle (other than when I was on BC). I was just wondering if clomid regulates your cycle to the regular 28 days?

Clomid Help
I just started clomid (50mg) on Sunday and I have a few questions. First my BMI is finally in the normal range 24.88 and was wondering if anyone knows if that will make clomid work any better? Second, my doctor started me on clomid without a period (after taking a pregnancy test that was negative) and was wondering if…

Exercise Help
I have started on my first round of Clomid (50mg) yesterday and I had just started Couch to 5K last Monday (I have completed 2 of the 3 runs per week). Now I am wondering if it is still safe to continue with this workout? I have done a little research online and some sites say its ok and even encouraged, but others say…

Menstruation
I have recently been diagnosed with PCOS after coming off of birth control and ttc for 9 months unsuccessfully. My doctor would like to keep me off of any meds and told me to first try to lose weight before turning to medications. She asked me to lose 16 lbs and so far I have lost 12 of the 16 lbs. Right after losing 5 lbs…

C25K
I have been trying to lose a little weight (as prescribed by my doctor) and I have 4.4lbs left to lose before I am at the weight my dr wanted (top of the approved weight for my height). I was wondering if anybody has had any success with Couch to 5K? I am not a runner and never have been, but the weather is so gorgeous…

P90X Abs
Has anybody used the Insanity abs dvds (Cardio Abs & Insane Abs) instead of Ab Ripper X during the program? I have not finished the program before, but I do find Ab Ripper X too easy (other than the Fifer Scissors) and I would rather do the Insanity dvds for the ab portion. If so, did you notice a tighter midsection after…

P90X Results
I have started and stopped P90X too many times to count. And I am thinking about trying it again, last time I made it to 60 days and then dropped it. I was wondering if people who have done it (women mostly) can tell me what their results were (pics are welcome). I am trying to lose 15lbs (out of the 30lbs total I want to…

P90X while Pregnant
I am not pregnant yet, but my husband and I are trying and I am starting P90X on Monday. Has anyone done P90X while pregnant? And if not, why did you stop?

Crystal Light
I drink Crystal Light to help me get the recommended amount of water and I have been reading about aspartame and pregnancy. I live in Canada and all of the flavors I drink are sweetened with Splenda instead of aspartame. Is this safe to drink while TTC and pregnant?

Work Snacks & Work Lunches
Can anyone help me with some ideas for snacks & lunches at work? I have been eating fruit/veggies and hardboiled eggs, but I swear I will throw the next hardboiled egg I see against the wall (way too many over the last 30 + days). I am usually pretty hungry when I leave work and I am trying to find something that will tide…

First week of Primal
My husband and I have been following the Primal lifestyle since Saturday and love it so far. I am down 4lbs and he is down 8lbs. It is crazy and definitely a motivator! I think I am going through a slight case of carb flu, just minor headaches and a little sleepy, so I hope that is over soon, but mostly I am worried I may…

Working out with Primal
I have read a lot of posts on Mark's Daily Apple about his WOW and lifting heavy things, but I have quite a few exercise DVDs (mostly Jillian Michaels). Are these good to do instead of the workouts Mark recommends? Has anybody done any of JMs DVDs while living Primal?

New to Primal
Hi, I am looking forward to starting my foray into the Primal lifestyle and my husband and I will be starting Saturday. I am looking forward to being healthier and especially to increased energy. I am always so tired. How long before I see results regarding increased energy? Btw I am doing my first "Primal" grocery…

Some General Questions
I haven't started going Primal yet, but plan on doing it in the near future - trying to get all my finances in order so we can do the first larger grocery shopping to stock up on all the "new" foods. But my question (or my husband's question, lol) is Can we still eat spaghetti (with noodles) from time to time? Obviously…

Paleo Diet
I am thinking about starting this diet and was wondering if anyone can give me any tips or feedback? I am waiting for a book from the library so I can do a little more research, but the whole premise behind it makes sense to me. Although I am not sure if I can totally remove all dairy products from my life - cheese is…

P90X Question
I missed a workout yesterday since we had guests over all night. Has anyone ever done 2 P90X workouts back-to-back? I was going to do Legs & Back and then Chest & Back and maybe even Ab Ripper X. Is this too much? I thought it would be ok since I am working 2 different areas of my body.

Whole Grain Bread
I have 7 Grain Bread from Safeway made with enriched wheat flour. Is that the same thing as whole grain bread? If not, what do I look for in the ingredients?
-
Greek Yogurt
I have been thinking about trying this, but really dislike ordinary yogurt. I like the comments I have heard about it being creamier that normal yogurt, but the reason I don't like yogurt is due to the "sour" taste. Does greek yogurt have the same thing or is it a totally different taste?

Jillian Michaels Videos
I am starting 6 Week 6 Pack and Shred it with Weights this week and am wondering if anyone has seen any results from either one? I will be alternating them during the week, does anyone have any advice for me.

Shred with Weights and/or 6 Week 6 Pack
I am going to be doing both of these videos, one week of one and then one week of the other. And I was just wondering if anyone has used either one of these videos and how well they work?

30 day shred problems
I have been doing the 30DS and am having issues with some of the exercises; mainly the complex (arms & legs) exercises. The ones that cause me the most problems are the squat and press and side lunge and arm exercises. I can follow Natalie with the squat and side lunge (getting really low), but there is no variation for…

The Metabolism Miracle
Has anyone tried this diet? I tried it for about 4 weeks and I lost 8 lbs, but I just couldn't stick with it. I was just wondering if maybe I should try it again. It was really tough cutting out carbs for a whole 8 weeks, seems a little unreal. But just wondering if there is something to it??

Picky, picky
So I am new to this site and trying to lose 35 - 40 lbs by next summer. But I am extremely picky about food (such as no veggies, other than raw carrots and corn). Plus I have a very bad sweet tooth, like cake, cookies, etc which is very hard trying to get through the holidays. Does anybody have any suggestions for me??
