    Thanks for the congrats girls! If anyone is interested, it's the Carbohydrate Addict's Diet. You can get the book from amazon .com or any Barnes and Noble in the US. I'm never hungry like the other plans I've tried... Autumn: You poor girl! I had a blood test to test for general allergens and I tested positive for grass, tree pollen (crazy itchy eyes...

    Elderberries and mold? Autumn, you're the first person who ever said mold was in berries...You must be thinking of strawberries. They do get moldy but that's the only berry I've noticed that does that. The reading, I've done about mold said only to avoid peanuts, cheese, mushrooms, stuff that grows under the ground, not over it. How can berries, drenched...

    We should have Saturday as "Weigh In Day" . Tip, For those of you who are getting colds all the time and flu. Eat elderberry jelly and drink elderberry tea. Documented studies on PubMed showed sambucal which is the active ingredient in elderberry kills the flu, pnumonia and cold virus and prevents infection. I work in a medical school and everyone...

    As one who used to be skinny... I recommend peanut butter 2 -4 tablespoons daily, at least twice a day. That would be heaven for me. I love it. That and munch on trail mix with nuts all the time. Nuts and peanuts will definately put weight on you. And don't forget the carbs.

    Good job on the weight loss. Your plan however is way too expensive and impractical. I want real food not shakes.

    Oh, Kaycee I didn't know you were from New Zealand?! Cool. My favorite actress is Lucy Lawless! I hope she makes a Xena movie!! On my plan, I eat whatever I want for one meal a day and the other two meals are low carb.

    I buy alot of chicken, turkey and hamburger meat. ALOT of hamburger meat. It's cheap and makes different meals. Also tofu is cheap and is low carb.

    ARCHIVED Insomnia

    Mayflowers replied to willow's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    I've been taking melatonin 1 mg every night because I read that it helps with sleep problems and I just read here that it's not recommended for celiacs. I searched and Wikipedia said the same thing! Cripe. I was getting benefits from it! I also use the Go Light from Apollo for SAD and that helps also.

    If you follow the Carbohydrate Addict's Diet, you can have your potatoes at dinner time and not have to give them up and still be on a low carb diet.
  12. Mayflowers
    I'm following low carb. Carbohydrate Addict's Diet. It's great because you can eat whatever you want once a day. You follow low carb for breakfast and lunch and then eat whatever you want for dinner. You have one hour to complete your meal. You must start out with 2 cups of salad, low carb vegie and protein though. The idea is that you trick your body...

    What diet is everyone following? We could also list our weight loss or gain each week. So far I lose about a pound a week. I've lost 8 pounds so far...30 more to go... (For my sisters in the UK, 13 kilos, and I'd like to weigh 10 stones) I'm following Carbohydrate Addict's diet. A Tip: If you eat breakfast, eat protein like eggs or meat. You...

    Thanks for the recipe Amy

    Being 25 pounds overweight would make one feel pretty bloated. I'm 40 pounds overweight.

    Yep, I was thinking in gluten terms.
  17. Mayflowers
    Ok. That sounds fine, in theory, but how does the bread get kneaded the second time if you've pulled out the paddle.....that does the kneading? I can see trying to pull it out right before it goes to bake cycle but not while it's kneading...unless it doesn't matter with un-glutened bread? I might be still thinking in gluten terms.

    Every time in the last couple of years I've had my thyroid checked and the doctor said it was "normal" I tried adding some iodine and I felt good for a couple of days then I'd get a migraine from it. So you're saying I need to see an endocrinologist then? I've read that some people had a hard time with amour and the docotors couldn't regulate the proper...

    You did it right. You don't remove the paddle until after the bread is baked. The bread will fall if you try to manipulate it before it's baked. You have to remove it carefully after the bread cools. All bread machine breads have a hole in them from the paddle.

    Ms. Sillyak, I read your blog..good lord. I'm sorry about all your physical issues. Have you tried TM? I read that meditation can handle a ton of physical issues in Prevention magazine. I meditate and I'm much happier and it helped me greatly when my mother passed away. My sister went on anti depressants and I learned TM instead. I'm drug free... She...

    Has anyone tried it without the flax meal? I can't tolerate flax.

    If you have the symptoms of thyroid. Dry skin, dry hair, losing your eyebrows etc. I thought I had thyroid too and I tried supplements but it didn't make a difference, just gave me a migraine. Is Armour a prescription drug? It's actually animal thyroid harmone right? How do you get tested for thyroid antibodies? My mom had to go on synthroid in her old...

    Trimspa baby. I checked. They said the X32 is gluten free. I like it. It gives me energy, puts me in a great mood and cuts the appetite. You might consider a light box if you don't get any sun, especially if you have depression. www.apollolight.com I have one. I sleep better when I use it.

    Make a practice cake. Then you'll know for sure.
