Since you were very helpful with my last question....
In my last post I asked about macros and mentioned that I have some dietary restrictions. A trip to an allergist this week has left me with even more restrictions, at least for the next month or so. Here they are: no vitamins or supplements of any kind, no protein powder, no almond/soy/cashew/coconut milk, try to stay away…

Huge increase in appetite
I was a holiday slacker, newly committed for the new year. Back to regular workouts (cardio + weights, some yoga) and back to paying very close attention to what I eat. I have a dairy allergy & IBS.

Over the last week I have gotten back into my gym routine, which includes cardio & weights. I have put on about 4 lbs of what feels like water weight. I understand I may gain some weight from…

Includes a water pill, appetite suppressant, multi vitamin, all natural "mood booster" (?) and a CLA thermogenic. I have a super sensitive stomach and these things are making me so sick.
