I'm interested to know too! Plus, I often wonder how the mother's diet while pregnant affects the child's allergies. I'm interested to see if anyone is knowledgeable about this and can provide more...

Yes please count your calories, get a 500 calorie deficit per day over your BMR adjusted for activity. A site like All Things Food and Diet - FatSecret is a really great tool.

Thanks I think the LDL was estimated not measured... not sure if that counts for anything but I've heard people say that before.........

sorry that looks bad, here is a better posting:

My mom got her numbers back and they are below. She said her doc said her cholesterol is bad. Can you help me understand? Thanks so much!

Thanks I did read this book and I remember it really got me interested in whole foods. I will look through it again. From what I remember it is a long one :)

Thanks I looked this up. I don't think this is quite right (The Nourished Life: Review of the Schwarzbein Principle Series) as it sounds like she advocates using canola oil?

I have a friend who just went vegetarian (1 month ago) and he finally asked me for some book recommendations on eating healthy. He is doing a 2-3 month vegetarian detox (he said his high-fat diet...

I have skinny friends who can eat anything they want too... also friends who have never had a weight problem. I definitely don't listen to them about dieting.

I don't think it is healthy to...

I would check your squat form, have someone check it for you. I have had knee surgery also and squats are okay for me as long as I'm doing them properly.

I like fatsecret best. I've only used it and fitday before.

al09 - Yes that "checking out" is so common. I did that too. And now when I find myself in a "trance" for any reason (other than therapy) I try to snap out of it right away. You trance and binge...

I prefer not to eat full-fat dairy if the dairy is conventionally raised. When conventionally raised, I generally try to limit the amount of fat I consume - since a lot of the bad stuff gets stored...

I have a small container of greek yogurt daily and I consider that, with a small amount of cheese later in the day, moderation for me. Dairy is in the same tier as fruit, and most people consider...

Ask your husband to do the dishes... that's the deal I have. It is nice!

I definitely understand where you are coming from and you sound very confused. You really need a game plan and you can make one for yourself. One thing I noticed is that you say you eat out a...

Yes I tried this too, following the book. It helped but there are a lot of supplements and it is almost obsessive how you take them. Basically certain ones every few hours. IMO, it was not healthy...

The leptin reset did nothing for my bulimia (except gave me a slight distraction for 2-3 days). But then I tried everything doctor and medicine wise. The only thing that finally helped me was...

When I eat a lot of coconut oil I get warm, and I'm a freeze baby.

I can't believe it, but I didn't have any candy all day or weekend. Still can't believe it.

You can also take some magnesium, which hydrates the stool.

I think the hard ones like that are hard to pass so I wouldn't add fiber (a drying agent) to the mix. I'd add fats and water, hydration things. Maybe it worked for your brother because he ate some...

I also see a fructose connection to my fiance's gout and no relation to red meat. However fructose and wine, yes.

LOL you took your freshly cooked dinner to the yard to photograph it. My family would think I had lost it! Great photos :)

Holy moly that 3:6 ratio is insane for different nuts. Thanks for the info!
