Hypertension and Diabetes- meal plan help!
It’s been a long time since I’ve been on here and even longer since my husband has had hypertension and diabetes. We’ve let the diet go on the wayside and had another hypertension scare - I feel like I’ve forgotten all recipes to cook to help with this. Mind you he’s a picky eater and I currently have the following list of…

Limited willpower and struggling to "get back on the horse"
Hey guys! My husband and I started an intermittent fasting + keto diet combo about 3-4 weeks ago and we were doing pretty well. Last weekend we went up north for a family party and both consciously knew it would be a "cheat" weekend and wouldn't blame ourselves into a guilty eating fit, we would just allow us to enjoy the…

Starving in the evening!
I'm really proud of myself for logging in every day and logging my food; I've been doing well enough to start feeling good about myself. This past week has been exceptionally rough with cravings and a NEED to eat (mostly hits late in the evening). Now Aunt Flo is here to visit and that makes things 2x more difficult to…

Trouble with protein goal
I recently started using MFP again to try to lose eight and keep tabs on my calorie/nutrient intake. I find that I'm struggling to reach my protein goal - by a lot. I like meat but am not a huge meat-eater, and while I can do protein shakes I'm not overly fond of those either. I'm mostly sedentary but would like to do…

Breakfast/Lunch advice?
I've noticed a pattern with myself, at lunch I can't control myself with how badly I want to eat extra - even if I eat a big breakfast. But I've also noticed that I can control my hunger habits much better in the morning. So what I've been doing is eating less in the morning and having a large lunch. Overall I think it's…

Fasting Cost on a Budget?
So I've heard from one person that their juicing cost per week was around $100 (~$15/day). And I've been increasingly wanting to try the fast. Only problem is, my husband and I's budget is $70/week for BOTH of us. Would it even be possible to do a juicing fast on this budget, especially if my husband wanted to do it with…

Beetroot?
I'm sure this is going to sound really silly...but where can I find Beetroot? I'm assuming (hoping) getting fresh beets and juicing the roots would be considered beetroot right?

Crunched for time?
So I've just recently been doing 'mini challenges' (Group: Daily Mini Challenges!!) since I haven't had the time to work out when I get home due to various reasons. Today was "Burpees" and we had to do as many as we could, I mustered out 30 modified ones (5 sets 5 reps) in about 10 minutes (would've done more but my legs…

Insane Cravings
So, i've been splurging waaay too much for the past two weeks. I work as a custodian at a school (very physical!) and I get a free breakfast and lunch. Breakfast is usually either a power bar (almost 300 cal and 22g sugar) or banana bread (200 cal 10g sugar). and lunch varies greatly (but is usually pretty high in…

Low Sodium recipes? Also, here's a donut recipe!
My husband and I are eating healthier and we just found out he has Hypertension (high blood pressure). High sodium foods can make his BP skyrocket so we're trying to find something less salty. Anyone have any ideas? Also, here are some homemade donut muffins. They still need some work, but they're pretty darn good! Actual…

In Need of Massive SUPPORT!
Hey everybody, I'm new on here, just joined today! Actually the whole reason I joined was because of my beloved fiance, he's overweight and trying his best to lose weight and be healthy. I know he's struggling really really hard and there's only so much I can do as his fiancee, I think he needs some community support. This…
