Really great ideas Margaret..I have to remember that for a yummy lunch one of these days. Zuccini pasta!

Who says you can only eat eggs or protein shakes for breakfast?!?! Left overs from dinner the night before for breakfast is just as good nutritionally as an omlet…as long as I am getting my protein, veggies and good fats in…it really doesn’t matter what it is. In fact this very morning I had some rotessirie chicken and asparagus…Call me…[Read more]

you can always do just basic supplementation or do some research online to find the supplements at a lower cost. I found most of the vitamins recommended that are good quality and a whole lot cheaper through vitacost. I absolutely have no extra income to afford $300 or more a month on supplements.

that’s a great idea…I think I’ll have to implement that one myself.

Great thinking!!!! I think this is something that is for life. Good luck!

Yay!!! Keep up the great work!

Thanks for this…I was just thinking I’d like to make my own almond milk, the store bought always has sooo many additives, I had a recipie for coconut milk I have to look up too.

Absolutely!!! Don’t give up hope and try not to be so hard on yourself. Life is always changing and we are always growing. You are still beautiful, as beautiful as you want to be. There is more than just the physical to describe beauty. There is beauty that radiates much more strongly from the inside out, than the outside in. It sounds like…[Read more]

That’s great!!! Congrats on your success. How do you plan to keep going after this week ends?

oh yes…too true…I think ultimately if I can learn to fall in love with some alternatives I’d be better off without the sunday.

I love Dr.Hyman’s dedication and have found that he gives me great motivation and information that has already helped me overcome anxiety/depression, and now I am trying to get my weight and overall health under control, by utilizing this program. The one thing that always helps through the difficult times is to be patient with myself. I try…[Read more]

Good luck. It’s definitely exciting and scary making these changes. It’s awesome that you have a friend to do it with. I started a blog to keep myself on track and accountable. I’m on a trial run this week, but tomorrow it’s game on! I can’t wait to see what changes may…[Read more]

If your on the advanced plan I would say no. As well as the basic plan no dairy. It depends on how strict you want to be. But I would suggest following the plan as closely as possible if you want to be successful.

maybe you can try eating different things and see what effects your blood sugar and how. When I was pregnant with my son 11 months ago, I had gestational diabetes and it was weird the things that would effect it and what wouldn’t. For example, I could actually eat a candy bar and not have that high of a reading, but I did notice that beans,…[Read more]

Wow!!!! That’s kind of scary. How long have you been on the program? Have you started eating or taking any new supplements? My SO has hepatitis C and there are certain supplements he can’t take, I think he has to avoid B vitamins in excess, and no acetaminophen…keep us posted, I’m curious to see what caused the spike in enzymes and…[Read more]

Great job keeping on track. I crave icecream and I know for sure dairy and I are not friends. I have to remind myself of what you said, ”you always crave what your body shouldn’t have.”…darn food addictions.

sorry spelled my own blog wrong..lol http://karmachameleon8weekchallenge.blogspot.com

It is definitely worth a try. This plan is a great thing to do for yourself. I have just started the journey and I can tell you that it’s not the easiest journey. Especially in the beginning and also in the face of family habits that don’t necessarily motivate you. I’d say start slowly and at your own pace. Don’t be so hard on yourself…[Read more]

There is an article written by Dr. Mercola, regarding dairy that might help you with your decision. I personally love me some icecream and cheese, but after reading the article it certainly made it ALOT easier, if you in anyway have a sensitive stomach or mind it might be too harsh. He has some very interesting article at DrMercola.com
