Ideal Shape Meal Replacement Shakes?
I'm looking for a complete meal replacement shake that's no-fuss for busy, on-the-go days. I've come across some pretty decent reviews for Ideal Shape, and I would love to hear feedback from anyone here who has tried it. I'm also open to recommendations for similar products, with your testimonial, of course! Thanks!

A1C NSV!
I just got my most recent bloodwork back and my A1C went from 7.7 (in late march) to 6.3 (now) :happy: I'm super excited to see where I end up in another 3 months! WOOT!

question for tofu eaters!
I eat tofu every once in a while but not too often. today I was going through my fridge and I found an unopened package of nasoya extra-firm tofu that had obviously been long-forgotten - it is a bit past the "use by" date, but still within the month. my question is - would you still eat it? it's unopened, and has been in…

artificial sweeteners
just wondering what you all use (if you use) artificial sweeteners? i used to use spenda, then switched to truvia. i'm almost out of my truvia, but i'm at a loss when i see so many options at the grocery store. do i stick with the truvia? should i switch to something else? should dr.bashir on DS9 have really been his own…

another question about coconut oil :)
looking to add it into my diet as a healthy fat, so i would like some recommendations. here's the info i am looking for - what brand do you buy? how much do you usually buy at once? based on how *you* are using it, how long does it last you? where are you buying yours from? and for those of you who do this; what did you…

Progress Report!
Today is day 30 of my first month on phentermine. I have lost just over 12 lbs, which works out to about 3 lbs a week. I feel like this doesn't quite measure up to some other success stories I've seen, but at the same time, I think that I would have only gotten maybe half as far without the phentermine. It's been a great…

quinoa, HALP!
i'm looking for some dinner ideas for my quinoa. i usually just have it cooked up alongside something else, but i want to make it into a (maybe vegetarian?) main dish for dinner. the other protein sources i have on-hand to potentially add to it are - extra firm tofu, lentils, various beans, shrimp, egg, chicken, or lean…

question about ezekiel bread
I'm thinking of making the switch to Ezekiel Bread, and I have a sort of silly question. Is it pre-sliced? While doing some web-surfing, I kept getting images of a whole (unsliced) loaf of bread. I ask because I'm not quite to the point that I can always eyeball portions, so I still depend on some things to be…

Protein and blood sugar?
I've seen quite a few posts recently across the boards that mention protein and a potential to raise blood sugar. Who out there has some knowlege they can lay on me? I'm currently trying to lower my A1C, and I go over on my protein (by quite a bit) pretty much daily, so I just want to know if I am shooting myself in the…

Triscuits!
Does anyone else like to indulge in some delicious Triscuit crackers every once in a while? After all, they're crunchy, they're salty, and they only have 3 ingredients! I like them for days when I'm low on carbs. TRISCUIT LOVERS, UNITE! :bigsmile:

little white weight lies
For those of you in states that list your weight, how much of a weight lie (in either direction) are you currently telling on your drivers license or state id? Mine says that I am 35 pounds lighter than I am in real life :wink:

morning blood sugar highs
Who else out there has high fasting blood sugar levels? When I wake up in the morning my blood sugar is - at the lowest around 130, but typically 150-170 or so, and occassionally it goes higher. So far, I have tried; not eating 2-4 hours before bed. Having a small snack right before bed. Taking my nighttime dose of oral…

Breakfast
Does anyone else struggle with not being hungry in the morning? I do, and I am trying to figure out something small and quick (& healthy!) to force down so that I am not skipping breakfast. I have unfortunately burned myself out on eggs. I will probably go back to yogurt soon, I think, maybe. Anywho, who has light,…
