If you would try the Sugar Buster diet you'd
be surprised at the energy you will have. You'll notice a difference in about 3 days. I'm fixing to start it again because while I get up fine in the morning, after about 2 hours I hit a wall and it takes me about 2 hours to get past it where I can work again. The only problem is I still have 2 hours left in my morning shift when I hit that wall so need to be working.
Anyway the diet will give you lots of energy - similar to being on energy drinks, it will be healthier for you and if you need to lose a few pounds you can do that too.
My best advice for arthritis. Take sugar out of your diet. You will not believe the difference it
Elimiate white flour and white sugar from your diet.
Other than Slim Fast has anyone had any luck with OTC diet products or diet pills? nm

I agree with you old, old MT. Taking a low-paying
You have to stick to your guns and say, "I'm worth more!" In so doing, you're saying that we're ALL worth more. But.....people WILL apply for those low-paying jobs. Alas. I'm a new MT (not even a month into it), and I am making more than double what that internship is offering! Why? Because I know I'm worth it.
I agree. Doesn't your contract have a clause to preclude you from taking the nephrologist's wo
My subs have clauses in their contracts stating they cannot solicit any of my clients (or otherwise work for them except through me) during their working relationship with me or for a year afterward. If one of my subs did what you're considering, I would be on the phone to my attorney immediately.
Sugar is necessary!
I eat jelly belly jelly beans to keep me going and it works! Love working at home in my office off my bedroom and do not miss communting one bit especially with the winter upon us soon!
Milk and sugar

Some sugar maybe? Or is that for too salty?

never mind. It is fingerstick sugar and KVO
Sugar Free Chocolates
Our Walmart carries Russell Stover Sugar Free Chocolates, and they are very good.
Sorry for typos... On a sugar high!

ROFL! Using sugar to fuel your MT fingers?
I will admit to having a jar of Bit o' Honeys and Hershey kisses on my desk, but I only have one per day. I'm happy right where I am, too. I love working at home. We've got huge windows and a sliding glass door, and I have total control of the thermostat. It's nothing like any of my other jobs where it was always too hot or too cold and we never got to see the daylight.
Coke and pretzels!! Sugar and Salt will

Sugar free candy suggestions? (sm)
My father-in-law is diabetic and we are visiting him tomorrow. I'd like to find him some yummy candy before I leave town. Wal-Mart is the closest store to the interstate that is 24-hour. Any suggestions for what I could find there? Thanks. 
Grape jelly and brown sugar????
Is that as a sauce or in the meatball mix, itself? Would you mind parting with the recipe, my curiosity is getting the best of me.
Be sure to keep areas dry and free of all sugar composites.

Boric acid plus same amount of sugar to
get the ants to take the boric acid (Mule Team Borax). Works like a charm. We had carpenter ants years ago, and exterminator wanted $700 back then to get rid of them. As just a fluke, I was listening to a radio talkshow after the call to the $700 exterminator, and they mentioned Mule Team Borax with same amount of sugar applied around the house, and make sure children or pets will not get into it.
stay away from sugar and take glucosamine chondroiten.

OMG--1000 calories and 10 grams of sugar.

Energy drinks. Caffeine and sugar, sm
and all kinds of vitamins. I like the Sobe one. I even drink it in the morning now, instead of coffee.
Caffeine and sugar had negative effect
My experience with trying to remain alert during 3rd shift: I was trying to perk myself up with caffeine and sugar, but also found that I actually became MORE tired as a result. Apparently, there's a biochemical explanation for this, due to the effect of caffeine and sugar on my insulin/blood sugar response. Both caffeine and sugar cause an initial rise in blood sugar, but then a serious slump in blood sugar occurs, causing me to be even more tired than before. So, I gave up the coffee and, after 3 days of withdrawal symptoms with horrendous headaches and fatigue, am having much more success staying awake during 3rd shift. I have also found that a protein drink or snack is a much better solution. Also, I am told that there are stimulants that do not affect the central nervous system as caffeine does, such as guarana, which I have not tried yet.
Also, it took me at least six weeks to adjust my body clock. I figured out that I had to sleep at the same time every day for several hours, at least 7, and couldn't just take a few naps during the day and then expect to stay awake at night.
The only reason I choose to work at night is because the pay is better; otherwise, I wouldn't do it. I look forward to someday having a decent account with a decent pay with a 24-hour turnaround time. I realize this is a fantasy.
Exercise, cutting down on sugar, and Prozac helps me. nm
.
Just a splash of skim milk. No sugar, creamer or flavorings.
OMG, I never made the connection but I think you're right - sugar = big line counts = $$$$$ Than
Walmart has a great selection of sugar-free candies.

Since I gave up eating sugar and refined carbs, I don't crave chocolate sm
I gave up sugar and refined carbs in March of 2004 and I don't crave anything "bad" anymore. I actually had withdrawal-type symptoms for a few days though.
I feel much, much better now :)
I love to make meatballs with the grape jelly and brown sugar mix.
Also, the little smokies (wieners) and bbq sauce for appetizers.
try a raw diet
First have your dog's liver enzymes checked, also the pancreas. Someone told me that toxins come out through the dogs ears, especially labs. Then, check into a raw diet for your lab. Believe it or not, chicken wings, chicken necks, or turkey necks - raw - and raw fruits and vegetables (no onions or grapes). My sister's lab has pancreas problems, his ears smelled awful, and the vet was no help. She checked out raw diets and her dog has been doing fine for the past two years. Her lab has the most beautiful white teeth, no smelly ears, very little gas, lost weight, and is happy. As a last resort, try BeanO. (PS, if you want to stick to a kibble food, try Flint River Ranch - that is what I feed my dog).
Okay! So much for my diet! I'm going to try it!
 Sounds yummy!
diet !
 Your way sounds a lot more appetitizing than the Healthy Choice dinners I am living on! SO boring, but I have lost 10 pounds in 10 days! Only 18 to go! And I too am walking 2-3 times a day which really seems to help. Once with the dog (he is pokey!) and then by myself so I can walk fast.
Diet
Funny you asked that because with my medical background, I know that what you eat can have a big influence on how you feel. I also have hypoglycemia so I should be eating well.
I honestly do not have an appetite. I didnt eat anything at all yesterday and the day before I ate 4 chicken nuggets from Wendys.
This morning I feel a little hungry so I will probably eat some rice and black beans. I have that and oatmeal. Its cheap and filling.
I used to eat like crazy... now I don't eat at all. I used to get sick when I felt kind of dizzy from not eating after a few hours. Now I've gotten used to the feeling and having really low blood sugar makes it hard for me to concentrate on one thing but I can't get food stamps because I don't have any kids or anything. All well... Anyway, that's what I've been eating.
Meat in your diet?
That is a misconception that we need meat in our diets, we do not need meat at all, there are many other sources of protein out there to substitute for the meat, please go to the many vegitarian sites for more information.
try a low sodium diet
When I was first diagnosed, I went on a strict 2 gm sodium diet. It is amazing how much salt is in foods. My ENT gave me a small booklet I could fit in my pocket to carry around with me to count sodium. It reduced the amount of fluid in my ears, which lessened the vertigo and the tinnitis. The shocking part was that I lost 20 pounds without trying! I never went hungry at all. I felt better than I had in years.
I have also found that keeping my sinuses clear helps with a lower level of tinnitis. Wine intensifies it 
good luck,

I have never tried the diet, but I know lots who
have, including my DH. I have never known anyone to keep the weight off once they come off the diet. While there have been various studies as to healthiness/unhealthiness of the diet, I don't see how eating high fat foods came be healthy. I do know that the diet throws your body into a ketosis, which gives you terrible breath. When my DH was on the diet I asked him not to talk while in the car because his breath smelled so bad. He worked with a woman who said she wondered why people would back away from her when she talked.
I think low carb is a good idea, but I don't think high fat is a good idea. I'm not a nutritionist, just makes sense.
Diet Board please

How long have you been on the diet?
?
OTC diet pills
My daughter was able to lose about 10 pounds on Dexatrim - that is before they had to change the formula - our best results have been with Atkins for quick weight loss - 7-14 pounds in a week in our family. Lots of meat and cheese - and no cheating.
So does diet soda.
Just kidding
Anyone try Shangri-La Diet sm
Just wondering if anyone has heard of or tried the Shangri-La Diet.. and if so what did they think about it? Did you lose any weight? Just curious, need to lose that 20 pounds.. or so...
Anybody out there taken any of the new diet pills with
Just curious if any of these work or if they are a scam like most others. If anyone has taken any pills that work let me know. (I know they are not good for you)
Liquid Diet
My brother-in-law lost a lot of weight doing a liquid diet (not sure for how long, though), but he gained most of his weight back.
yeah, know that...this diet was only for four days...
no salt, etc. but it works. Called the "four day wonder diet." Could not, would not do this for more than that! Yukky, no flavor. But it kicks in the fat burning thing... Thanks for your support....Back to some "tasty" "live-it" foods! :)
cofee....diet pepsi...

Smash the Fat ... aka Take-Control Diet sm
The name of his book is Take-Control Diet, and there is a sample menu on the VH1 site that lists chicken breasts and sirloin, so ...... not too scary
MEET ON DIET BOARD???!!!
This is excited to hear so many on and starting out with this diet. I am starting a thread on the diet board so we can keep track of progress!!! This will be great support!!!
South Beach Diet
I have had this same problem! I gain too much weight with each pregnancy, then when I finally get it off I have ended up prego again. HA. Well, it won't happen that way again. Anyhow, I did the South Beach Diet between my last 2 kids and lost 54 pounds in just a couple of months (a little over 4). I actually lost my weight in this area first. I am just starting it up again for the same reason, and because I know it works--I have done it before. The first 2 weeks are kind of hard to stick to (at least for me as all my teeth are sweet teeth), but it goes by fast actually and you won't believe when you step on the scale and each day your weight is down and you drop clothing sizes. Just typing this is enough motivation again for me to do it. I didn't exercise the last time and the weight just melted off, so I don't know about any exercises. Good luck to you! :)
South Beach Diet
When I did it the last time they only had the blue book out, now they have cookbooks too and the foods at the store so it will be even easier to stick to. I just bought a treadmill and am sad to say after 15 minutes I am dying! HA.
I have even seen the South Beach books on ebay for cheap. :)
Anyone tried the Nourish Nutrisystem diet? sm
If so how fast did you lose? Were the foods good? Were you hungry? I am leaning towards this program. The pictures I have seen are GREAT! The food looks good and you get to pick and choose what you want. It is costly but if it works it would be well worth it....thanks!
South Beach Diet sm
beel ala orange with brown rice and broccoli, carrots, and bamboo shoots...only thing is, they forgot the brown rice...I am still hungry. yarrr.
Doctor's Choice Diet
Anyone been on this diet? I called and they said it is a diet plan and some kind of a hormone shot that you have to get once a week. Sounds scary to me.
