Guest guest Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 Here's a post from on maintenance: /message/1 76981 > I'm half way to my goal weight and already very concerned about not being able to maintain my weight. I know we've had posts about maintanance before, but I'm looking for examples of what you guys do. I should be able to figure this out on my own, but this is somewhat stressful for me. It probably shouldn't be such a big deal and I'm hoping by planning ahead I can't make it a little less stressful. My concern stems from the fact that I'm a purger. I know I shouldn't do it, but if I feel that I've eaten something I shouldn't or even go crazy on a free day, I worry that I've ruined it all and I purge. It's not an every day thing, but happens once a week or so. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. > My next question is much easier and a little more anal and doensn't involve any true confessions. The one hour you wait after your HIIT to eat, is that one hour from the start of your workout or one hour from the end? > > tia, > monica > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Hi Jenn Yes a fever chart would include dates, length of episodes, anything unusual you might notice as well as a rough guide of how high the temperatures get, perhaps even how you treated the fevers. The more details you write down the more helpful it will be for the doctors. We also use an ear thermomether (digital). Recently when we took Emma to the ER during one of the episodes a trainee doctor mentioned that ear thermometers can show a slightly higher temperature than the child actually has. Has anyone else every been told this? Inga a few questions... Hi everyone. My daughter is in the middle of getting diagnosed with ...that' s what the doctors say anyway. We were told to keep a fever chart for the next few months before we go back to CHOP. I'm assuming they meant to just keep track of her fevers on a calendar??? Does this sound right. Also, I was just wondering what type of thermometer everyone uses. We just have an ear one but I'm thinking I may want to get a better one. Thanks everyone! ___________________________________________________________ Answers - Got a question? Someone out there knows the answer.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Yes - keep a calendar of when the fevers start and peak temperatures and how long they last. We keep precursor symptoms and post symptoms also. Regarding thermometers. We use a temporal scanner - same brand as our Children's Urgent care uses, but not all are accurate. We only give prednisone with high rectal temps. We've found the temooral scan is not as consistent but tells us when the fever is climbing. Usually an hour later the rectal hits the temporal scan. We were advised by our pediatrician that not all temporal scanners are good. He loved ours - from Wal-greens for $80. We got it because it is easy to use in the middle of the night without waking her.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 We had trouble with the accuracy of an ear thermometer.and the regular thermometer took way to long for an irratible toddler. Even the doctor did used both thermometers when we went in one time - the ear one they was also inaccurate that time. We have one that scans the forehead & tested it for accuracy when we first got it. It only takes a second & rates great for accuracy. Melody --------------------------------- Sick sense of humor?

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 We use an ear one. And yes - just track fevers and sypmtoms on a calendar. Headaches, joint pain, sore throat. I always write down the highest temp. of the day as well. I don't know why - I just do it. Hannah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 FYI, they are using those in the hospital now! When Kianna had her T & A they used that and told us that that's all they use now in the pediatric unit! They must be accurate if not why would they use it?

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Hello! I've read the links of the group and I feel more confused than when I started. I love my smoothie with kale and collard, but I now fear that it will have an impact on my thyroïd. Can you explain to me why this is not a problem? Do you add kelp to your smoothies to act on this? Also, should I add some oil (like coconut) in my smoothie to make their digestibility better (fiber seem to be a problem for Weston Price foundation...) Finally, can you tell me how much maca you add to your smoothies, if you use it? I'm breastfeeding my 22 month old and want to have the best nutrition for her and me... Thank you, and sorry for my english, i'm french... Anick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Regarding foods and how they affect you - the best advice is to listen to your body. If you aren't feeling great, then start keeping a food diary, and hunt down what you think might be the problem.Where greens are concerned, it is best to rotate them.http://greensmoothiesblog.com/green-smoothie-rotate/http://www.google.com/search?client=safari & rls=en & q=rotate+greens+smoothies & ie=UTF-8 & oe=UTF-8Healthy fats are indeed good to consume at the same time that you eat greens (think butter on steamed asparagus :-) or my "Avocado Cold Green Soup" AKA Guacamole Smoothie or "Chunkie" ;-) /links/Recipe_Links_001298558025/Blended_Salads___Cold_Green_Soups____Sal_001327151383/The nutrients from greens are better absorbed when eaten with healthy fats, http://www.google.com/search?client=safari & rls=en & q=fats+greens+nutrients+absorbed & ie=UTF-8 & oe=UTF-8 so yes, if you like coconut oil in your smoothie - go for it! (don't forget that if the smoothie is cold, the oil will solidify right away, so you can either emulsify it with another fat before blending, or pour it in down the middle while the machine is running so it hits the blades in the center first (and not the sides of the container).Oh, and "moderation in all things" :-)When I use Maca, I add about a teaspoon.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Lea Ann's reply is wonderful.I don't use Kale but I already have a thyroid problem. My husband eats it by the bagful and is happy doing it. I thrive on beef and he eats all meat but beef. Everyone's body is a little different and that is where a food journal could be helpful if you aren't feeling well. If you are healthy then just eat a wide variety and enjoy all of those wonderful foods! Thanks,My Favorite Video for My Little One! On Apr 3, 2012, at 1:30 PM, anickd82 wrote: Hello!

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Anick my best advice is to consult your physician since you are nursing your infant. While your body may not have reactions to what you are eating your baby may. All the things you are asking have two sides to them and while they may be ok for an adult they may not for a child. I would also suggest you search both sides of a product before committing to it including web site that are not trying to sell you something. Here is what WebMD says about Maca:Special Precautions & Warnings:Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Not enough is known about the use of maca during pregnancy and breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use. Tom From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of anickd82Sent: Tuesday, April 03, 2012 2:30 PM Subject: A few questions...
