I JUST STARTED TODAY, I HOPE THIS DIET GO’S WELL. I HAVE TYRED SO MANY BUT ONLY TIME CAN TELL.
DEBRA LYNN.A couple of suggestions:
1. You can puree the vegetables and hide them in other foods such as muffins, soups, shakes, pasta dishes, stir-fry etc.
2. If you like fruit and don’t have diabetes or high triglycerides, then make the swap.I am overwhelmed by the cooking necessary. Tomato bake for the after dinner snack? Not going to cook it, I know myself. I am gluten and dairy free which makes substitutions difficult to navigate.I haven’t started.
Hi, and welcome. No need to get into the recipes if you don’t want – just go for the whole foods. You will find that there are many dairy-free and gluten-free options.
If you do find a recipe you want to try, but find it contains allergens, please write it here, and I will personalize it for you (and give tips on speeding up preparation).I have just begun! Isn’t this a song title. My main difficulty is exercise. Months ago I was in so much pain with knees and hips I could barely walk. Now am relatively pain free but can barely walk 25 steps before I am out of breath. Any tips on how to begin to rebuild my stamina?
Start with those 25 steps, then add 5 each day or two. In the meantime, work the parts that don’t hurt – arm lifts, stomach crunches, etc. The trick is to start small and slow, add a little every couple of days, rest every other day, etc.
Just starting this plan and looking forward to getting the ball rolling. I am a breast-cancer survivor (1 year ) and I have had knee surgery (which didn’t fix the problem). I have never been big on exercise, can’t get down on the floor, but I do have an elliptical machine and can use that with my knee. I am not a runner, but I do love the water. Any ideas on low-impact exercises that I can do?
Swimming or water aerobics, floor exercises such as yoga/pilates and sit-ups and variations thereof, weight training (with medium-weight barbells, you can keep going longer and make it aerobic).
Hi, just got started 3 days ago, the only exercise i get is with my dog, 1/2hre a day, i’ve gotten rid of all the foods that is’nt in the program and i bought all the foods i need to make all the recepies, hope i don’t loose any since i live alone, i bought too much, affraid i would get hungry, lol! i seem to be tightening up on my stomach roll and belly, maybe just my imagination, and few pounds on the scales. Time will tell.
After being in 2 nature catastrophes and seen more than I should have done, my hormons like insulin, thyroxin,cortisol made me sick and I doubled my weight. To forget all bad pictures of damage and death, I worked double for many years, up to 90 hours a week this summer and my legs were destroyed, 50 years old I walked like a 90 years old person!Istarted having oilmassage, it helped but I could not get the legs soft again. I bought a zumba lessons to do home , started 5 days ago, I am shaking, twisting, dancing and have a lot of fun, sometimes the steps go so fast I cant follow, but it will come. BUT HERE IS THE STORY; My legs are soft again, my muscles function as normal- and all this after doing the zumba 4 times. I am already looking forward to tomorrows lessong; salsa, calypso, merengue,all these latin rytms, I just love it even if I am still a doble size. And next week I am starting testing hormon levels at a private clinic.I am going to take control over bloodsugar, bloodpressure, low levels of thyroxin,stresshormons because I have now left all bad pictures from tragedies and death beside me; I can look at the when I want but I dont anymore have to see them all the time, I am now the boss of my life
Im just starting today, well actually tomorrow, as its 10:40 p right now. I will wake up tomorrow morning (6:30a)and walk around my condo complex. (Announcing my goal/commitment for accountability purposes) Its cold outside 9F.
Good idea, Lorax, it helps to state things publicly!
Good for you, lemala, keep going, I find this site inspiring too 🙂
My committment is to walk every second day, working up from 1k to 2, and to start my core and upper body strengthing exercises again….I know what to do, just am so involved in volunteer work that I let the exercise go. Now my priority is me!
