A couple months after I had the baby I got super crazy bad attacks that I thought was bad heartburn, but it turned out my gallbladder was completely dead. I had to have it taken out. I think the combo of the weight loss and the pregnancy hormones is what killed it. It's not the HCG per se, but losing a lot of weight so fast on a super low fat diet can cause GB issues.
Vegan & Gluten-free Jaffa Cakes Jaffa cakes are one of those treats that I missed the most since I started avoiding dairy and gluten. Once a Jaffa Cake pack was opened, there was no stopping me. I would gobble the lot! They're such a comforting snack, especially with a nice warm cup of tea. What makes them even more special is that all Jaffa Cakes are produced at a McVitie's factory in Stockport, which is not too far away from where I live and around the corner from my parent's house! I posted a shot of these vegan & gluten-free Jaffa Cakes on my Instagram feed mentioning that I wasn't sure whether they were only available and sold here in the UK. Many of you informed me that the magic that is Jaffa Cakes have crossed the pond and made their way to different countries around the world like Greece, Germany, Poland, Australia, France…the list goes on! Some of you told me that you have something similar under a different name (Pim's biscuits? ). Apparently in some places like Portugal you can also get raspberry flavour (OMG! )
i am currently 6 foot 240 pounds which i dropped from 300 pounds, looking to drop to 200 pounds. my planned exercise routine will be daily 2 hour workouts - 1 hour in the morning, 1 hour in the evening. except sundays. i am currently doing 30 minute runs (shoutout c25k!! ) 3 times weekly. so i decided to start tracking my macros. but things are not going well at all. different sites have different methods of calculating macros, and the calculations can be 1k+ calories off of each other. how do i know what i should follow? protein intake has people online saying i should take in 160g to 250g. fats intake has people online saying i should take in 60g to 100g. carbs intake has people online saying i should take in 169 grams to 300 grams. even daily calories are confusing. some people are telling me to go for 2k calories daily, some calculators are telling me to go for 3k calories, some people are listing 3k calories at 160 pounds for girls, others are listing 1. 8k calories at 205 pounds for guys.
What's it Really All About? 8 Questions Answered. 1 Overview: Where did the South Beach Diet come from and what is it exactly? The South Beach Diet was developed by cardiologist Arthur Agatston in 2003. Similar to the Atkins diet, it is a low-carb diet designed to promote weight loss and heart health. Unlike the Atkins diet though, the goal of the South Beach diet is not to enter a state of metabolic ketosis. Rather, the goal is simply to keep blood sugar levels stable by eating primarily heart-healthy, weight loss-promoting fats and protein. There are three main food categories within the South Beach Diet: healthy fats like those found in olive oil, nuts, and avocados; lean sources of protein such as seafood and poultry; and high fiber, low glycemic carbohydrates. The glycemic index refers to how much any given food spikes blood sugar levels. Because fiber-rich carbohydrates are digested more slowly than simple processed carbs, blood sugar levels remains more stable after consumption.
