Article in SHAPE magazine

It also stated how important it is to use up all your…

Question: Do you think food is an actual addiction like drug
I personally from my own experience I believe this to be true. It was not for the longest time, but as stress emotional issues started I would use food as my escape.

I'm not Crazy, You're Crazy!
Okay, so I have been watching what I eat for quite some time now. My husband, as well as everyone around me, always tries to get me to eat something sinful!

Is calorie stacking bad?
I'm not sure if I'm giving it the right name. Just to explain a little bit. What I want to do is eat small, low calorie meals during the day and have a pretty big dinner (without going over my protein, carbs, and fat ofcourse). I want to do this so that it ensures that my stomach won't start growling while I'm in bed. When…

Fats in food
I have been going over on my fats lately. They are all good fats. I eat nuts, avacados, cheese, and rice alot. Should I worry about my fat being over when they are from sources like this. Now when I say over I am only over by 5 to 10, not a huge amount over. Thanx!

Too many carbs....
