The Omentum...HOW GROSS IS THIS?! MOTIVATION FOR SURE.
The omentum is almost a filter for toxins and fats that hangs off the bottom of your stomach. The image on the right shows Dr. Oz holding the omentum of a person who is ONLY 30 lbs overweight. Oprah is holding a healthy person's omentum. This is seriously disgusting! This is motivation for me for sure. I hope this…

If I drink hot tea, do I log that as water intake? And when it says "8 cups" recommended, does it mean each "cup" is literally one cup (8oz) or does it mean one standard tall cup of water?

Is calory theory a load of tosh, or is my BMR wrong?
I input all my food and exercise into fatsecret, which does all the calculations (like fitday etc). It worked out that I use over 4,000 calories a day just being alive. Add to that my one hour of water aerobics every other day and some desk work and walking about and I need 5,000 calories on average per day to maintain my…

Do you record calories from supplements?
Okay so I have always been a bit confused on this! Example my Udo's 369 oil has 135 calories in it. Do you guys record stuff like that?
