I realized a couple of months ago that the specific protein powder I was using was the reason why I was so gassy and bloated. Since I've switched to Jay Robb's protein powder and starting taking digestive enzymes, I've been much better. It just seems like the people who tell me to switch...

I'm hoping that someone can explain to me why there's such a heated debate over protein consumption, especially from bars and powders. Most fitness and bodybuilders use them, as well as many of the women on this forum, with bodies that are smokin' and have the "look" I'm going for- lean with...

I tend to eat on this schedule because it IS when my body tells me I'm hungry. The only problem I'm having is around 3-4 when I get home from work. Even after I eat the bowl of oatmeal with fruit and protein powder. I am certainly not looking to lose any weight, but I am somewhat happy with what...

Thanks ladies. I def. can stand to gain about 10 pounds. I just want it to be "good" weight! :) Kathryn- I will try your smoothie idea. I am willing to try anything!

In the last year, I've had TERRIBLE cravings, mainly for sweets, but anything really (nuts, cereal, fruit....) The only week that I don't seem to have these cravings is the week before and of my time of the month. I'm not sure if it's age (I'm 36, no kids-if that matters) I really need some...

Two weekends ago my dog died. She was 13 and I feel as though we grew up together. This was a HUGE loss for me, esp. since I don't have kids. She stayed outside a lot on our patio. Since she died the patio and backyard look so lonely, and it was making me very sad. I didn't say anything to my...

I've had great results with two diff. types of plans. I did strictly Jari Love workouts for two months. These really got rid of what fat I had. I did find that I lost too much weight. I wasn't looking to lose weight, just the fat. I really leaned out on this plan. Then I switched to the GS...

Gayle, My mom and brother love to go to The Olive Garden when I visit. I'm not a fan and def. don't want to have a cheat meal there. I don't even really like pasta. What I end up doing is ordering off the menu a bit. In the past, I've ordered a plain grilled chicken breast (no butter, no oil)...

Carrot cake cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory (it has well over 1000 calories!!! I always have a slice as my birthday cake) Chicken fried steak with fries (always have on my birthday and New Year's Eve) $100,000 Grand bars, Twizzlers, Almond Joy, and Baby Ruth bars (I haven't had...

Myoplex Lite bars are REALLY good (especially the chocolate chocolate chip one), but they only have 15 grams of protein. The Clif Builder's bars are also really good. My husband loves the chocolate and almond ones. I also like the Jay Bars (by Jay Robb). They are pretty "clean" as far as...

I took Ambien for a bit w/o any side effects. My husband, however, took it once and became VERY suicidal. It was really frightening. I had no idea what was wrong with him until I read the side effects. I decided at that moment that I would just try to go the non-medicated route, which has...

Kelly Coffey-Meyers 30 Minutes to Fitness: Kickboxing is awesome. I'm addicted to it.

My husband has used it for awhile now, and it's been very beneficial to him. He's VERY particular about websites (and well, things in general), so I'm positive that if he's using it regularly, it's legit. He's in the business world, and is looking to start his own company (consulting). I know...

Thanks, Marcy :)

I need to figure out how many calories I should be eating, and what better place for some advice than here! I work out 6 days a week, typically 4 four weight workouts (right now the GS series and one additonal leg workout) and two cardio workouts (kickboxing) + abs. I am 36 years old, small...

I would also like to see a modifier for those of us with bad knees.

I agree with Miss Lee about the high impact stuff. The only part I would prob. get to use would be the MMA portions. I can't do step or drills, and have no use for the travel workout. I can put together my own band workout. I wish Cathe would show a modifier in her videos, like P90X and many...

GREAT question! I didn't even know there was a rotation for skinny fat, but I would LOVE to have it. Please, Cathe, answer this question. I've been watching for a response on the rotation forum and was really wanting to know. THANKS!!!

I cut out all products w/soy, and after only 1 1/2 days I'm noticing a HUGE difference. The gas and bloating are almost gone. I guess I didn't realize how much soy is in products, and when I started eating the cereal, bread, bars, and protein powder all in one day, my body said, "Oh, heck no!"...

serrantdl1, Your struggle sounds just like mine. I am fine until around 2 or 3. Then it looks like I am 6 month's pregnant and I have terrible gas. This all started in 2006. The diagnosis was IBS and I was taking Zelnorm w/success. Then that medicine was taken off the market. I was told that...
