What's Your Food Is Your Kryptonite?
For me, it was passion flakes and french vanilla creamer in my coffee...oh! and girl guide cookies. I don't do the passion flakes anymore, but I still allowed the creamer every once in awhile, just smaller amounts. And when it comes to that time of year the the girl guides are out, I still buy them, but I only eat 1-2…

FODMAP diet
My husband has been asked by a doctor to try out the fodmap diet so Monday, we start. I'm doing it purely out of support for him. I've researched it and I've found a lot of contradicting things regarding it. He was given a paper with what he can and can't have but compared to what I've read, none of it seems to go with…

Going gluten free
So my fiance had a biopsy done and one of the results came back inconclusive for celiacs so the doctor wants him to go gluten free for a month and see if that helps the situation out. We're a supportive family, so we're all going to do this but I have no clue where to start. Can I please get some help or pointers as to…

All about the bloat???
I posted this thread outside of the group and no one has responded, maybe it's a foolish question :laugh: but I'll try my luck here as well.... So I try not to eat a lot of salty foods and I love water, I've been losing weight but can only notice it in the morning. For the first couple of hours my stomach looks flatter but…

No carbs at night...
So, where do you stand? I'm just curious...I've had a couple people tell me that the last bit of carbs they eat a day is at lunch or afternoon snack and then that's it. I understand the concept, but I'm curious...do you carb or not close to sleeping? If you don't, has it helped you?

Is this right?
Ok, I just changed my goals because I'm now excercising 6 days a week for 55 minutes at a time. I'm oblivious (I'll be the first to admit it) when it comes to tdee and all those other things, I have not a clue what they mean. But considering the size I am, and the amount of weight I have to lose, does 1780 sound right? I…

Scales
Ok, now that I'm done going to the doctor's every couple of weeks I really am nervous. I liked getting weighed on his scale because it was accurate and reliable.

Who's got Sole....recipes? ;)
For supper tonight I'm making spaghetti squash with some onion, cherry tomato's and feta cheese, and my man has never tried it. He has told me he's willing to give it a go but I'd be pretty surprised if he actually likes it enough to get full so I've decided to make some Sole as a side, just in case. But the thing is, I've…

There has to be an easier way...
So, I'll be honest, I haven't really had to add alot of food to the database or anything like that since I've started. Today, for lunch I had a 12'' roast beef on flatbread from subway with all the veggies, cheese and 2 lite condiments. I've searched and I can do the sub, cheese, condiments but the veggies are driving me…
