 teade 12 years ago | I eat too fast…yup…WAY too fast. Among my aquired skill sets are “dash board dining” , “multi task dining” , as well as balancing a meal & a lap top. Hummmmm…what to do ??? TODAY I will pick up a set of chop sticks. That should take me from 120 mph to an acceptable 60 per. The porage this morning will be a challange , however , changing up the ” big” people cutlery ( wow ! how discriptive is that ) with the little peeps spoons will help. Going to throw in a timer for good measure or better load up my fav CD’s and calculate the time . Wonder how long a meal should take to ingest ???? Is there a standard ? Time to cut out “seconds” for me as well. The half cup plus left over during clean up …too little to store..too good to throw out..RIGHT . Breaking out the measuring cup had better be next. Something I have never used when cooking. Sigh…in the LORD’S strength. All suggestions greatfully accepted . Blessings . |

 youngj105 12 years ago | I started this eating plan 10 days ago. I was diagnosed with breast Cancer in August 2009 and had 20 months of treatment. I never really got over the fatigue and was also suffering from some lingering side effects. I have had great difficulty sleeping at night but great difficulty staying awake during the day. I also have suffered acid reflux and severe constipation since my chemo. I am currently on Tamoxifen which has its own side effects. I haven’t stuck rigidly to the menus because I haven’t been able to source all of the ingredients yet. However, from day two I have not had any acid reflux and minimal heartburn so I have cut out the medication for that. I have gone 2 or 3 days without coffee and didn’t even notice. I haven’t had any cravings for chocolate or sweets. I am sleeping all night. I have not had a sleep during the day for the last 5 days. The meds that I take to control my hot flushes (that give me nightmares) I have halved the dose and have no flushes and no nightmares. I have been able to cut out some of my meds for constipation. Don’t know if I have lost any weight because I don’t have scales but that was not my primary purpose in doing this, it was for my energy levels. Only downside is I am cold in bed at night now that I am not having night sweats. |
 mimichers 12 years ago | Hi, I am new also today. I need to lose weight and get motivated to exercise. Looking forward to all the comments. Thanks. |
| Doryssb 12 years ago | Hello everyone, hope you all are doing well and eating healthy! Degada, would mind if I copy & paste your tips onto the Tips & Tricks thread, just to make them easier to find in the future? Or you can rewrite it there if you have the time. I love the idea of the crunchies for soups and salads! Much better than processed croutons or crackers 🙂 Have a good evening,
Doryss |
 CHIA 12 years ago | Hi everyone. I am new to this forum. I’ve been on the Newbie forum since Jan 7, but would like to get even more tips about the diet so thought I’d try this one. I live in the US, IOWA. |
 SavedbyGrace1950 12 years ago | Hi, I am new just downloaded everything today. For now I plan to watch the 10 foods to avoid. After this week I’ll have my son moved and can get back to a normal schedule and fixing things at work to eat that are healthier. |
 delgada 12 years ago | Jan 17th 197, Jan 28th, 192 and I’m especially enjoying brown rice and actually tasting foods as never before. Sinus congestion reduced, not hungry between meals and eating lots. I’m a former lover of desserts and a daily cocktail. I don’t miss either because I needed to change my lifestyle. I’m converting the things I used to love into lower calorie alternatives. Best salad dressing I’m using is equal parts yogurt and dijon mustard with agave nectar to taste. Also use it on baked chicken wings in place of barbeque sauce. Toast SWG bread. Place in food processor with garlic and herbs to make tasty crunch for soups and salads! Stores well in fridge. |
 chamirose 12 years ago | Hello All! Today is my first day and I am looking forward to trying new things on the menu although I was wondering should I stay away from the Lean Cuisines? |
 kangaroo 12 years ago | Have been on it just a week, and lost 2kgs (4lbs)- and feel fantastic. I am delighted I started it, was so tired of diets where I had to count everything as if I was justifying myself, or starve myself – meaning punishing & depriving myself. On this diet, I have so much to eat and I eat healthily, & have discovered foods I never knew existed. This is a way of a new life for me, not some fad. I exercise a bit too, so that as the flab comes off, I shall be trim, taught and terrific! I have 10+ kgs to loose, I am so happy and grateful. I too live on the Sunshine Coast in Aust. and so happy the ‘mini-tornado’ has finally gone. Peace is restored. |
 Norunyan 12 years ago | Yvonnebaker,Hi the app is on the app site .It is Diabeties App. It has been a good app for me to keep track of the diabetes stuff.It was free for a few days then if you like you pay about 7.00. For it. I am tracking my calories. And food breakdown as well as sugar stuff.It has all charts a diabetic needs to help themselves. I am down 2 pounds and my sugar is down29 points.We ‘ll just keep on and make ourselves feel and look better.Happy Day |
 Bluebird10 12 years ago | Hello again. I am from the Sunshine Coast Queensland (which is experiencing a mini-Tornado at the moment … the wind and rain is very scary!!) However, I have lost 1.2kg in two weeks (2.7lb) which is great for me as I want to lose 5kg (11lb) in total. I do not exercise and my full time work is very stressful with lots of desk work. My main issue is my tummy which does not seem as ‘bloated’ as before. I am very happy to continue! |
 Cheryl67 12 years ago | parevashmoosavi…..Thanks very much for the info regarding SWG bread etc, that was really helpful seeing as I live in East Sussex! Cheers LOL 🙂 |
