New here, expecting January 2014
Hello ladies! I am due 1/27 with my second child. Unfortunately, the only thing that seems to be helping my morning sickness right now is large amounts of food : / I know I am eating way too many calories, hence I decided to join this group for some healthy support. I've gained 5 pounds already, and I am already overweight.

Response to carbs changing as you lose weight?
Alright, last year I started eating low carb because I was not losing weight with straight calorie counting. Low carb did the trick and helped immensely with my cravings. I was about 195 when I started eating low carb (almost obese and highly overweight for my height). The past couple of weeks, my eating has been…

Hi everyone! My friend brought a diet plan from one of the trainers on I Used to Be Fat on MTV. She says the macro ratios are 30% carbs, 30% fat, and 40% protein. The calories are 1350, and a sample day has around 105-110 carbs. Would eating this amount of carbs combined with doing 4 hours of cardio per day put you into…

If You Can't Lift Heavy....
If you can't lift heavy due to lack of heavy weights, what is the next best thing to do until you can get heavy weights? All I currently have weight wise is a set of 10 pound dumbbells and a 30 pound toddler :) I have a variety of Jillian Michael's DVDs; would they be a reasonable alternative until I get a better weight…

Color of Keto Stick matter?
Hi low carbers! My keto stick is usually the color for trace amounts. I can't remember, but as long as I am not showing negative, this means I am still in ketosis, correct? Do I need to strive to get it darker or is it okay to be the color for trace amounts?

Tummy Tuck?

Greek Yogurt?
Okay, so what do you Greek yogurt lovers actually do with this stuff? I got some of the Fage, and tried it-blech! So sour, but people seem to love it. What are you doing with it to make it yummy, or do you enjoy the sour taste? On the plus side, my baby absolutely loved it. At least it won't go to waste.

Craving salt?
I have been craving salt the past couple of weeks, since I started regularly working out an hour every day, at a vigorous intensity. I have read before that when you have a craving, it's because you are deficient in a nutrient. Does anyone know if that's the case when you crave sodium?
