  KittyKatt replied to the topic Running on Sidewalk in the forum Running Forum 1 week, 1 day ago

  I think envirotodd’s got it.  PRetty much you have to go for it unless you can run in a field or on a track, make sure you’ve got the right shoes and socks. your socks are as important as your shoes.  And make sure you run right.

  KittyKatt started the topic Plant Paradox in the forum Weight Loss Programs 2 weeks, 1 day ago

  My sister is doing Plant Paradox.  She read the book cover to cover (she’s one of those really dedicated people) and loves it and says it makes complete sense to it. From everything I’ve seen online, it’s controversial at best and nothing says that lectins are actually toxic the way the Plant Paradox says it is.  Is my sister on to something or d…[Read more]

  KittyKatt replied to the topic PCOS weight loss tips in the forum PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) 3 weeks, 1 day ago

  I think I really have to jump on with talking to your doctor or dietitian. I hate it when people say that to me about my questions, but really when you want to change your food and you have a medical condition that is going to be affected by it, it’s really probably the best thing.  I promise not to get mad at you if you answer that to me if I…[Read more]

  KittyKatt replied to the topic what do you wear to Tai Chi classes? in the forum Gear Reviews 1 month ago

  If you’re just going to a beginner class it really likely won’t matter too much what you wear as long as you can move around.  Even if you showed up dressed for a yoga class instead of a tai chi class, nobody is going to yell at you.

  KittyKatt replied to the topic What age makes weight loss harder? in the forum Weight Loss with Health Problems 1 month, 1 week ago

  It’s something gradual and personal.  Everyone faces their own unique challenges.  It may start affecting you earlier or later.  Age does affect weight because of things such as lost muscle mass and hormones though.

  KittyKatt replied to the topic how safe is it to tinker with blood sugar in the forum Health Forums 1 month, 2 weeks ago

  This weekend I saw an article that says animal studies they’ve been doing on keto have shown to be problematic sometimes. Veterinarians don’t trust it yet, so doctors for humans probably shouldn’t.

  KittyKatt replied to the topic How many more calories can you eat from exercise? in the forum Weight Loss and Exercise 1 month, 3 weeks ago

  I don’t trust what fitness trackers show, either.  I don’t know if they think they’re accurate or if they deliberately show a higher calorie burn than reality because they want to motivate but it makes it hard to do things correctly without the right figures on our sides.

  KittyKatt replied to the topic how safe is it to tinker with blood sugar in the forum Health Forums 2 months ago

  I don’t think anyone really knows.  There hasn’t been a lot of research done on keto dieting and the stuff that has been done was focused on epilepsy in kids. Basically, if you do that diet right now, it may be safe or it may not, but doctors don’t even know. You’ll technically be one of the guinea pigs.  So if you really want to, it’s smart to t…[Read more]

  KittyKatt replied to the topic Mediterranean Diet in the forum Weight Loss Programs 2 months, 1 week ago

  I hope you find one you like. I tried to use mediterranean a couple of years ago but I never ended up being able to stick to it.  It started off good in the summer but as soon as the weather turned cold, I ended up going to the heavier, creamy foods that always get me at that time of year.

  KittyKatt started the topic How fast to walk before running in the forum Running Forum 2 months, 3 weeks ago

  I’m building back up to running again for the spring.  I’m walking first, then I’ll run (jog, then run).  How fast should I be walking before I start adding intervals of running? Should I practically be jogging already or is it not quite that obvious?

  KittyKatt replied to the topic Can you trust tea claims? in the forum Health Forums 2 months, 3 weeks ago

  Really? If I have a cup of green tea it’s not really doing anything for weight loss and overall health? But so many things say it will.  Are you sure?

  KittyKatt replied to the topic Mediterranean Diet in the forum Weight Loss Programs 3 months ago

  I agree. I think it’s a type of eating. An overall style. But there are tons of websites and books that lay out the rules to make it easier to follow it like a program until it’s a part of your lifestyle.

  KittyKatt replied to the topic stationary bike or strider? in the forum Cycling Forum 3 months, 1 week ago

  I have to agree with that.  Striders are nearly exclusively cardio, too.  They don’t do any strength training.  So if you’re just looking to raise your heart rate, that’s what you’ll get.  You will be much easier on your joints, though.  So that’s why I agree that it’s about personal preference.

  KittyKatt replied to the topic winter (SAD?) makes me fat in the forum Weight Loss with Health Problems 3 months, 3 weeks ago

  I always go through this. I think it’s easier to get things under control after the holidays are over. I’ve started drinking lots of water again, and I’ve started eating salads ahead of meals to fill me up before I get into the fatty stuff. Also, no creamy salad dressing and I’ve started being more reasonable about cheese eating. It’s a matter of…[Read more]

  KittyKatt replied to the topic vitamin c for immune system in the forum Supplements Reviews 4 months ago

  vitamin c is only one thing that helps. look into getting a whole balanced diet because your body needs lots of things and it needs different vitamins and minerals to be able to absorb all the nutrients you need.

  I’m trying to teach myself to eat less . I know that it’s not all about eating less but eating smarter, but lately, I just never seem to feel full. I just want to eat and eat and eat and dont feel satisfied by my meals. I don’t need to be over-stuffed with food but I would like to feel full.   What can I do to help shrink my appetite so I don’t n…[Read more]

  KittyKatt replied to the topic running vs swimming vs cycling in the forum Activity Forums 4 months, 2 weeks ago

  I think if I had a pool extremely available, I’d go for that.  But even if one was down the street and not right on the same property, running is good.  That said, in the winter, I’d use a stationary bike over a treadmill.  Does that help?

  KittyKatt replied to the topic cutting sugar in the forum Health Forums 4 months, 3 weeks ago

  It’s really just added sugars that are the problem, right? I mean, you shouldn’t eat a whole bowl of fruit from your table centerpiece, but it’s not really whether you put banana on your cereal or raisins, but you just need to avoid adding white or brown sugar or a ton of honey or maple syrup, right?

  KittyKatt replied to the topic best cream for running chaffing in the forum Running Forum 5 months ago

  I’d say something with shea butter or seabuckthorn or both would be very good.  It’s very healing and it can help to protect your skin in the first place

  who knew that you could even get sports equipment at the dollar store? Is the stuff any different for the more expensive kind or are they essentially the same but there’s just a higher markup with other products?  Worth a try though!
