Question about cheat days.
So I've been reading a lot about varying caloric intake and cheat days being beneficial while on a diet. Is it true? How often should I vary my intake if I'm trying to lose weight? How often should I have a cheat day? Or should it only be a cheat meal?

I'm fine with the taste but I have major issue with the texture. So far, I've been making an egg salad by cutting them up and mixing with a little hummus and having that on wasa…

Peek at my diary please :0)

Massive food cravings
So lately, I felt a lot like a pregnant woman. Not because I am thinking about baby names (well, for my sims) or looking at cute baby clothes in the mall or crying over everything (well, sometimes) or because I'm actually carrying such a little parasite in me. No. I'm just having those massive and weird food cravings…

TOO much water??
I usually drink between 12-20 cups of water a day. I drink more when I am at work because I have filtered water while my tap water at home is nasty and I don't like going through a whole case on the weekend. My boyfriend told me that drinking too much water can kill you. I don't believe him. He said that he saw on 1000…

Drinking mildly responsibly
I know we all realize how terrible drinking is for weight loss, and while I will agree to this at the end of the day it still happens. I've gotten much better at turning down the casual beer but for events (Whether it be a wedding, New Years, or a birthday) I'm going to be damned if I miss out for a few calories. Any…

Starvation mode? Warning:I'm new

Frustration of a different sort
I've been really good about keeping my calories around 1200 in recent weeks. Today I decided that I wanted to splurge a bit, probably go over my calories. But I can't think of what I want! Nothing seems worth the calories. I guess I'll be coming in a bit under again.

Better to count calories or carbs?
I've been counting calories for about three weeks now. I lost eight pounds pretty quickly but I've kinda stalled out. I've had success in the past counting carbs instead of calories. Anybody have an opinion about which way is best? I get discouraged when I don't see results and I'm afraid I'm going to give up! Thanks!
