Craving sugar
OK, so this is weird...I don't like sugar. And I mean, AT ALL. Don't drink soda, don't put anything sweet in my coffee, don't eat candy or chocolate, even some fruits are too sweet for me. I just don't like it. I do love some nutritionless carbs though! But lately I'm seriously craving all things sugar and worthless carbs…

Do you eat the same things everyday to stay on track?
Do you eat the same things everday while trying to lose weight or do you change it up? I think part of my 'not being able to stay on plan' is because there are SO many food choices and I get overwhelmed. I know it's not ideal for long term (boredom) but I think I might try making a week or two meal plan and just have the…

Have you changed the food you eat or the way you eat??
I haven't changed my food as much as I have changed the way I eat. I am a foodie and just can't handle the thought of not eating what I want to eat so I have decided to change my eating habits. I don't have seconds, I try to eat more veggies with each meal and just have smaller portions and healthier snacks. I also don't…

Have Thanksgiving Day Eating Habits Changed?
I'm dreading Thanksgiving. I love food, but the reality is that I have to watch what I eat.

I think I will be the only normal-weight person this year. I also have a…

Subbing PB2 with peanut flour?
Has anyone tried substituting PB2 with regular peanut flour? As far as I can tell, they are one in the same, defatted peanut butter. I am a tightwad and would prefer to get it at the lowest price. Byrd Mill has 5# for 23.00, macros are pretty much identical to PB2, about 1/3 less price. Any thoughts?

"No eating past _o'clock..."
Does anyone stop eating after a certain hour at night?

measuring cup vs. food scale
It seems like the size of measuring cups tends to vary depending on what brand you buy, so I decided to buy a food scale. Nothing fancy, just the digital one from Wal-mart for 20 bucks. However, it seems like I'm eating a lot more food than what I was eating whenever I just used the measuring cups. 8 ounces on the food…
