Lower Carbs Makes me Feel GREAT
So a few years ago I was advised by my doctor to go on a low carb diet and cut out startches except for once a week or so because I had a fatty liver. I thought this was crazy but did it anyway... and lost 30 or so pounds, my liver went back to normal, and I felt great. Fast forward a bit and I thought that since my liver…

Gluten Free Amaretto Cupcakes!
Hey all, I made these last night and they were a hit with my boyfriend and his friend. They are very filling and if you make them the way I did, you might even get a bit of a buzz off of them. You do not have to use Amaretto in the cupcakes, you can use almond syrup or essence in place of it. I found the original recipe at…

Didn't Eat Enough Yesterday-Question
So I was out of work for 30 days and went back on Sunday. For the 30 days I was out I was only going to school. Therefore, I had plenty of time to make sure I had all my calories for the day. I generally eat anywhere from 1500-1800 calories. Yesterday rolls around and I forgot what it was like to work 8-4 and then go right…

Strength Training... Without Actual Weights
Hello all, Whenever I have done weight lifting (and I've always loved to see how heavy I can go!), I have felt amazing during and after, and just in general love it, especially compared to cardio (which is boring to me). My one problem is the free weight area in the gym being overrun with teenage and college aged boys…

A Question about Shiritaki Noodles
So I've been eating the shiritaki noodles for lunch for the past few days... Now, I'm curious if this has happened to anybody else... and just warning you, might be TMI... but does anybody else have these noodles... come out looking the same as they went in? I feel like I'm actually not digesting them. I don't feel sick…

Deny Chocolate, and Pants Almost Fall Off!
So here's a fun thing that happened to me last night. I guess you could call it a NSV. We were in Shop Rite and they have a HUGE chocolate section for Easter. Now I love Easter candy, especially the chocolate filled eggs. I was looking at the packages and thinking oh how delightful these will be. My boyfriend said "You…

The Alcohol Diet
...Not really, but have you ever weighed yourself after a night of drinking? I just did and I'm two pounds down. Why? Probably dehydration, so I'm not going to log it, but it's still fun!

NSV: Feeling Good
I was tested for gluten intolerance on Tuesday. I just got my test results back today and they said all I need to do is take more Vitamin D because I guess it's low. (Of course it is, it's not summer time when I go bake myself at the beach.) Anyway, I am still going to continue with what I've been doing with staying away…

Hello!
Hello all, I am new to the group... and possibly have an intolerance to gluten. I am doing an experiment (started the beginning of the week) and since I have removed the majority of foods with gluten in them, I have felt much better, especially concerning anxiety, depression and lack of energy. I actually have been…

Gluten and Anxiety?
Hello all. I have been suffering from anxiety attacks for the last couple of months with no known cause to why they started. The only explanation was that I was stressed out. However, I'm doing an experiment right now in which I am taking the majority of foods containing gluten out of my diet. In the last few days, I have…

Some Advice on Starting AGAIN
Hello all, I used MFP last year and had great success with it... however I only really ate healthy and dropped the weight very quickly. I kept the weight off all throughout the summer and through most of the fall, and then it feels like out of nowhere it came back with a vengeance. In August I had moved out of my parents…

For the Ladies on Depo... Fear Not!
So I have a love/hate relationship with the depo shot... I don't have to worry about a pill everyday, get the lightest period ever or none at all, and only have to go back every three months. However... I HATE the fact that it made me gain weight quickly, it gives me horrible mood swings and hunger cravings, and also can…

Hello all
Hello all! I feel as if I've been in a losing battle with weight loss for the last 8 months or so. Last year I was put on a very low-carb diet because I was diagnosed with a fatty liver. Within about two months I lost 30 pounds. I thought it was amazing that I lost weight that fast and was set for beach season. I kept the…
