Can you recommend a good low carb protein bar -
with no malitol, and preferrably that I can buy at a store (not order online). I've found some online but I really want to be able to buy one and try it before I fork out the money for a case. Tell me what you've found :) Thanks!

If your family eats "clean"/minimally processed...
what do your kids eat as snacks besides fruit? My kids love fruit but they aren't veggie eaters (other than carrot sticks). I don't mind making/baking things at home, just looking for some ideas :) Thanks!

Moms of three (preschool age)...
How do you get walks and such in? We live near a great 1.2 mile walking loop (but it's SO hilly) and where I live is also super hilly. I'd have to drive 30 minutes each way to find a flatter area. I have a five year old, a four year old, and a 6 month old. The two older ones can ride bikes with training wheels, but not on…

If you're a woman with about 25% body fat....
Are you happy with that body fat percentage? I did a calculator with my current measurments to get my current body fat percentage (scary!) then it told me what my goal weight should be based on my desired body fat percentage. At first I did 30% but the weight was really high so then I chose 25% and my goal weight according…

Anyone have Crohns?
Way TMI, my hubby has had two weeks and a half weeks of very watery stools, despite following the brat diet and eating bland foods. Yesterday at a family dinner I found out that his brother has colitis, which made me think maybe DH has Crohn's Disease - since they are related and can run in families. He's going to see a…

Eating standing up?
At lunch today a coworker was eating while standing and talking and someone asked her why she didn't sit. She said that eating standing up is supposed to lead to much better digestion and absorption of nutrients.... Anyone heard this? Any merit to it? Just curious.

I need a 1000 calorie, low carb (under 10g) dinner on the go
Any suggestions? I have pretty much every fast food restaurant imaginable (and many major grocery stores) around on my way to class, so I'm open to any suggestions. I won't be home until after 10pm and I need to eat something.

Ladies - if you started over 250....
How many pounds did it take for people to start noticing you were losing weight? How many pounds did it take for you to go down a size? I'm right over 20 today, and while all my clothes are looser (WAY loser in the legs), I'm still not down a size yet. And no one has noticed, but I took pics yesterday and I *think* I can…

Women only - TOM question...
But not the "oh no I gained weight but it might be TOM question" :) I get sick EVERY STINKING MONTH from October to April right before TOM. Sore throat, congestion, just feel awful. Usually lasts around 5-7 days, and it stinks! Does this happen to anyone else? Any ideas WHY this would coincide with TOM? Thanks!

Improving bloodwork....
My hubby (165 lbs, 6 ft, thin and unhealthy) just got his bloodwork results back from a health screening and his cholesterol/lipids all came back in the high alert level. SO, I think he is finally serious about changing his diet to being more healthy AND adding exercise. I am currently on a low carb diet per the endo and…

Up a pound each day... Normal?
I started Ripped in 30 on Jan 31. I was up a pound the next day, no big deal. But, I did it Wednedsay, up another pound, and last night, up another pound. I am not eating a surplus of 3500 calories daily, so I know it's not fat, and I know it's normal to gain SOME if you start a weight program from water retention, but is…

Maximum Deficit?
I know I've seen a formula on here but I tried searching and can't find it. I am currently 245 pounds. According to my BodyMedia, I burn an average of 3300 - 3500 cals a day. I set my MFP to 2 pounds a week and that gave me 1290 calories daily. With exercise, I earn another 500 -700 daily. But that still just brings me to…

Best tasting protein powder?
Looking for your reccs, thanks! Needs to have low sugar, I'm not sure if they all do or not. Thanks again!

Do kids need grains/starches?
I know there's nothing wrong with grains/carbs unless you have a metabolic disorder (I do). I started a low carb diet in December per my doc, loved the way I felt and the fact that I was eating almost 100% whole, clean foods, and decided that our family was going to start eating clean January 1st. My kids eat plenty of…

P90X and Nutrition...
My hubby is starting P90X and he told me he needs help with his meals (he eats like crap right now). I'm a meal planner so I am trying to plan out what he needs and make a grocery list. If he's committed to the P90X, what kind of breakfasts and lunches should he be aiming for (in terms of % of protein, fats and carbs).…

So why bother lifting?
If you can't build muscle in a calorie deficit if you have a significant percentage of body fat, is there any benefit to me lifting right now? Or would I be better off to focus on cardio, cardio, cardio until I get closer to goal and maintenance and THEN incorporate lifting? Thanks for any thoughts on this! Carol Ann

Help my feet, please :)
I have started walking about 60 minutes (broken up) a day. The first week was torture on my feet (understandably so), then it got better. BUT, I could definitely walk more or longer from an endurance standpoint, but my feet just can't take it. I was fitted for my shoes at a specialty shoe place (not one of those things…
