Helpppppp! Gas Pain from too much fruit/veg!
Ok, I have been doubled over in pain the last week from gas pain. I would pay $10 to be able to fart just once! I know it is from adding too many fruits and vegetables too fast to my diet, but I would starve trying to eat 1200 calories a day if I didn't. Any suggestions to improve this other than taking Beano (thanks for…

My new found love of Greek Yogurt
Ok, so I have to admit...I have picked up a container of greek yogurt in the past - saw the 160 calories, put it back and went for the 60 calorie stuff....I mean, why eat so many calories, right?

Healthy pancake recipe?
I am on the look out for a "healthier" pancake for my family on weekends. Someone once brought whole wheat apple cinnamon pancakes to a breakfast potluck one time at work, but they no longer work there and they were way too good to be low cal. Something homemade would be great - no box mix. Something with a good amount of…

Low Carb + Exercise = Nausea? Am I alone?
I am finding that I am losing weight quickly by eating low carb which is great, but when I try to run, I feel like I have morning sickness (impossible by the way) after 2 miles. I tried to go to the gym today too, and after about a 1/2 hour, I felt like a heap of poo, just struggling to get every last rep of strength…

Atkins Induction Fast Food Options
I am starting Atkins induction tomorrow. I need some ideas for low carb fast food options. I will be on the road all day tomorrow. I can only eat so much string cheese. I did buy the shakes and bars and might pack some celery and ranch, but other than that, I haven't a clue.

20 calorie per serving noodles! Really!
I have seen a few posts on Tofu Shirataki Noodles and have seen them in the Hungry Girl Cookbook, but I have fallen in love with them! I've heard people say, "fishy, nasty, gross, etc", but NOT TRUE! Yes, when you open the bag, they smell like seafood, but with a few minutes of TLC, they are wonderful! I rinsed them well,…

Atkins induction/Beer carbs?
I just looked up MGD 64 (beer) and it only has 2 carbs per bottle. Why can you not have this on atkins induction if you stay well under the 20carbs allowed a day.......I work my tail off at the gym and I cannot make it through Memorial weekend without beer!

Best Gungry Girl 300 under 300 recipes?
I just got my new Hungry Girl 300 under 300 cookbook and it looks AWESOME. It was only $12 on amazon. I don't know where to start with recipes. Does anyone have any "tried and true" recipes in there before I go and buy groceries for something not so good. I am especially curious with the tofu shirataki noodles and wonton…

I also cut the ends off of radishes - I put the radishes, carrots, and some water in a dish to microwave about 3 minutes to soften slightly. 3.) Then I cut up red bell…

Thyroid Disease and weightloss? Anyone else in the same boat
Ok, I have ballooned to 190 pounds after 3 kids and thyroid disease. I am on synthroid now but it is still challenging to lose weight? Is it just me? Will it ever be possible to lose 70 pounds with thryoid issues.......even with thyroid replacement? Just wondering if it is all worth it.
