cooking oil
How do you go about counting the oil used for cooking? Do you measure out a tablespoon before you add it to the pan? I have been estimating a tablespoon here or there, but it makes such a difference in the calorie count. I don't want to be fooling myself about how much I am eating. I eat a lot of veggies, but I don't…

i consume INSANE amounts of sugar!!!!!!

MFP recommends i eat 30g of sugar/day. I rarely eat less than 60, and mostly consume around 90g of sugar/day. i do, however, stay under my calorie…

What's your weakness?
For some it's cake, or chocolate or chips. Mine? Peanut Butter and ice cream. Preferably peanut butter ice cream. :laugh: It's one of those things where I can't have a container of it in my house, if I know it's there I can't stop myself from eating the whole thing. For instance, last night I was at the supermarket and saw…

SAY NO TO MAC AND CHEESE!!!
Kraft Macaroni & Cheese. It's the stuff most of us grew up on and think of as the standard in mac 'n cheese. But now that you've grown up a little (we hope), you no longer think 2 Twinkies and a Cherry Coke would make the best breakfast ever (and even if you do, you know better!). Same goes for this silly macaroni. What's…

Detox Diet?
Anyone try the lemon juice/maple syrup/cayenne pepper detox? Did it work? How long did you do it for? Were you able to exercise too? I'm doing the mixture, but still eating... Not sure if it's being of any benefit to me. Just not sure if I can fast AND exercise. Seems dangerous.

Neo-Citron
This may sound like a stupid question but I haven't been feeling well the last few days and when I'm sick I love to have a Neo-Citron before I crawl into bed.

really tired
I have found over the last few days that by 4.30pm I'm nodding off at my desk and I feel drained. It may be due to the low amount of carbs I've been eating, so I am making a slight change to my lunch today and I'm having chicken pasta with my salad. Hopefully it will give me the needed energy to see me through the…
