I just finished a Whole 60 that was very strict. It's certainly possible to do, but it isn't easy. I don't know - I've gotten used to saying 'no' to things because I have celiac disease and I'm...

Seriously, this is what I do at work. My monitor sits on a stand and a cardboard box. My keyboard and mouse are on a stack of books. Love standing and love that it's easy to switch back to sitting...

Have you looked to see what's in season where you live? We tend to switch up our salads based on that - right now, it's been a lot of kale, beets, onions, arugula, fennel, etc - but pretty soon,...

Hi all,

I am considering going back to school to get a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree. I'm almost 34, and I'm not feeling particularly satisfied with my current career (non-profit fundraising)...

Going gluten free only works for weight-loss if you eat mostly whole foods and avoid the processed gluten free substitute products. If anything, processed gluten free food is less healthy and...

I don't cook very much. My husband is a good cook, but he really only does complicated recipes once or twice a week. Usually he'll make a big pot of something (stew, or curry or whatever - he'll...

King Oscar is good and not too expensive - and the cans are BPA free. Wild Planet is another favorite of mine and they have good fishing/environmental practices - but it's much pricier. I eat a can...

I've been doing the Whole30 since April 1 - on day 38 today, and planning to do at least 60 days. I haven't found it too difficult so far. I'm feeling good and have dropped 7-8 pounds, which is...

Sous vide is great for steak - it's really good for eggs, too. About 1 hour at (I think) around 146 degrees gets you a just-set white with a creamy yolk. Delicious and really easy - you don't even...

One of our dogs started having diarrhea several times a week a few years ago. We switched them to a grain free diet, and the problem went away completely. I don't remember the brand we use, but can...

M&Ms. My husband bought some peanut ones a few months ago. Tried a few, and the coating on them just tasted like chemicals. Gross. Much rather have a piece of fruit or some good dark chocolate.

Pushups aren't the only thing you can do this way - I do tricep dips on the edge of my desk, as well as calf raises, squats and pushups at random times throughout the day. I also tighten my abs and...

Have you ever been tested for celiac disease? Untreated celiac can lead to bowel cancer, and it's a highly genetic disease, so it runs in families. Regular diarrhea is one of the 'classic'...

Go to the doctor - like, yesterday. Catching it ASAP and making the appropriate changes is really important. My dad was lucky to find out he had diabetes through a routine blood test, before he had...

I eat them out of the can as a snack or for lunch, usually.

You can also make a really good, easy 'pasta' sauce with them. To do this, I take about a tablespoon or two of the olive oil from the...

Maybe look into working at a functional medicine practice, if there are any in your area? Still a medical practice with MDs and such - but a much more holistic approach, incorporating diet,...

It's just a no-cheating paleo diet, with no dairy and no 80/20 rule. I've been doing it for 10 days, and I've eaten way more things than just meat and vegetables. I haven't found it to be difficult...

I'm doing a Whole30 right now (probably a Whole60 - we'll see) but it's in response to some health issues that I'm trying to clear up. I don't think it's necessary to do just because you...

I agree, no snacking is better - but if you need stuff to get you through right now, I'd suggest hard-boiled eggs and canned fish (I like sardines, eaten right out of the can). Not too expensive,...

Gluten has a horrendous effect on my mental health - I have celiac disease, so this may not be true for most people - but I feel like a crazy person if I accidentally eat it. Anxious, depressed,...

I think antibiotics are the way to go on this. My husband just got diagnosed with it after having a lot of acid reflux issues. We see a functional medicine doctor, so he's pretty good about...

Yesterday while checking out at the grocery store the clerk made the comment that we must be 'stocking up' on fruits and vegetables because, with the exception of two dozen eggs, some fish, and some...

You may want to get your magnesium levels checked. I have low magnesium, and if I forget to take my supplements, I have gas and constipation issues.

I used to be a 3-meals a day plus 1-2 snacks person. I've cut back on the snacking, though, because I've realized it's mostly out of boredom or because I'm 'used to' eating a certain times of day -...

I'm in day 3 of a Whole60 - mostly doing it to see if cleaning up my diet helps me with my seasonal allergies, and some lingering issues I have due to celiac disease. So far it's been pretty easy. ...
