Fat Belly diet ???
I was just browsing on prevention.com and watched a short video of "The Fat Belly Diet." I have never heard of this before and found it somewhat interesting. I am ALWAYS leary of so called diet fads and don't believe much of what they say, at all. But this seemed interesting (not sure I'd ever do it...quite happy doing…

Calorie-Cutting Tactics
By: Reader's Digest Eliminating those calories (as well as burning more through exercise) doesn't have to be painful. Starvation and deprivation diets simply don't work. Instead, the little things are what matter. Here are seven ideas to get you started: 1. Eat breakfast. A study published in the February 2002 journal…

if your not really hungry, but should eat?
OK, so I haven't been really hungry today, and have had a couple days like that. (not in a row) Is it really OK to supliment say 2 meals with some kind of a nutrition bar? It saves a lot of calories, but is it healthy to do that? Specially when the nutrition bars are only 150 or less in calories? And I ran for an hour this…

Coffee tricks?
Okay, so we're all trying to cut calories...My worst culprit seems to be in my morning coffee. And there's NO WAY I'm ridding myself of it altogether. So, I love flavor like hazelnut or cinnamon and a liitle(just a little sweet; sugar). Lately I've been using a certain -mate- hazelnut creamer, but it has 40 calories in 2…

Greens to go

Slim Fast Optima...
Four hour hunger control my *kitten*!! More like ONE hr. Please!!! yes, I do know better, but it was easy and convenient. I cannot believe they claim four hour hunger- I would have been better and longer satisfied by eating a handful of M&M's. Ok, rant over.

all calories created equal?
I have been doing well with not going over my cals. Before I started MFP I was careful about what I ate. Which I always felt restricted and ended up binging on the wrong things anyway. But since starting MFP I feel more freedom about what I eat, I can have some sugar and treats, I just have to stay in my cals. But I am…

Oh Bob's sweet mints
Bob betrayed me today- I snacked on a few of those wonderfully sweet, soft, and innocent mints. Then I had a few more of those scrumptious treats - love the way they dissolve in my mouth - so satisfying, so yummy. I know they don't come without calories but, I've never looked it up.. just had a couple occasionally so -…

D'Angelos chicken caesar wrap
I had about 1200 calories left at dinnertime tonight, so I thought Id go out for a chicken caesar wrap. I figured it to be about 400 to 500 calories. Holy Moly, over 800!! 47 grams of fat... 2234 mg of sodium. I, literally, would have been better off eating a big mac at 540 calories and 30-something grams of fat. Of course…

A little help- Banks I have read your post- still wary....
A little help si vous plait. I have been having trouble seeing much movement at all on the scale. I track my food and exercise and dont eat below 1200. For example- yesterday I was at 1700 total to eat- 1200 plus burned 567. But that seemed like a lot of calories to me. I ate them but felt weird doing it. It was actually a…

Negative Calorie Foods
Negative calorie foods are foods, which use more calories to digest than the calories food actually contains! Calories from these foods are much harder for the body to use. In other words, the body has to work hard in order to extract calories from these foods. Even though a food may contain equal amount of calories, much…

Fruit.
I've been trying to research this topic online, but there doesn't seem to be a clear answer. Does anyone know if eating too much fruit (even over in calories) can cause you to gain weight? I've done it a few times just because I LOVE fruit and didn't see any damage..but I was just wondering if it could do long term damage…
