Fitness Pal logic
Just a bit of fun! This is my logic sometimes- "Vodka comes from potatoes, so it's a vegetable. Right?" "Store samples don't count.... Even if I eat all of them" "if I just eat the crumbs in the cookie packet, there won't be many calories! *crush whole packet into crumbs* "it's my cheat meal!....day....week" Feel free to…

Has anyone experienced reactions to foods that are caused by the chemicals that are used in processing rather than the food itself. I am curious as to how you tracked down which chemical it was and what your reactions are to the chemicals.

GMO Food Products
I think that we are being done a great dis-service by companies like Monsanto and the other big seed producers. They are doing research that has interesting implications for farmers, but I think potentially devastating consequences long term for the environment and our health. The latest I read today: Monsanto has…

3 Day Cleanse?
I know everyone has mixed opinions on cleanses and I'm not looking for a debate on the topic or reasons why you think cleanses are silly. I've heard a lot of people say that it really makes them feel better and I'd like to try one myself. Which cleanses have you yourself tried and found to have positive effects? I don't…

Eat to Live
Hi everyone! I just finished reading Eat to Live by Joel Furhman. It helped me understand a lot of things I was confused about, like why I'm losing so slowly and have the crazy food cravings I have on a daily basis. I only finished it about a week ago, but I've already lost 3 lbs. and feel so good. Has anyone else read it?…

Think all calories are the same?

The bottom photo is of the same number of calories but using healthier meals, snacks and treats. For those who think they can't eat…

Weight Loss Supplements
I have started seeing a nutrionist and my first major question arises on the weekend (of course). She has me on some supplements to help support my metabolism. I am taking CLA and Green Tea Extract, one gel cap of each with each meal. I usually take them BEFORE I eat, but I noticed the last few nights that I am feeling…

Switching from 1200/day to 1800/day...
I'm currently thinking about moving up to 1800 calories a day, which is what my TDEE roughly says I should be at. Problem is, every time I decide I'm going to do this, I end up gaining weight on the scale the first day and it scares me back to my 1200 calorie/day diet that's been working for me so far. I'm on the fence…

Pineapple
I've just had half a pineapple for breakfast. 340 grams. Weighed it after cutting only the amount I actually ate. It was a chunky one and the biggest pineapple in the supermarket cause they sell them for £1 each :) What bugs me is it has 31grams of sugar and I'm already above the daily allowance. Mind you I also had 10gr…

Slip up for a week
My close friend left for home after being on exchange, and I was really upset because I know the chance of seeing her again will be very slim. I started to eat a lot more than my recommended 1200 calories. There are days when I ate up to 2000 calories, and I have gained weight in the last week. I need to get back on track…
