Something's wrong with my food diary!
I checked my phone app and the calculations just didn't seem right. So I added all my calories and sodium and stuff by hand, and sure enough, it's lower than what MFP said. So then I deleted everything and even after my food diary was completely empty, MFP says I'm down 270 calories. What the hell Is going on here? On my…

too much fiber?
Is too much fiber bad for you? I know for women, you should eat around 25 grams a day but there are days where I am hitting between 30-40 grams and I don't know if it is bad to get too much or not really something you should be concerned with? I have no digestion issues or anything like that because I eat what I should in…

Am I being rude if I...
Am I being rude if I bring my own "dinner" to a cook out? When I am not at home controlling my ingredients and portions I usually end up blowing the day. We have friends that want us to hang out all the time, and my main problem with going is not being able to control the food. They usually prepare the food and we kick in…

Watching "Addicted to Food" on Discovery Health
...and I gotta say... I feel SO SORRY for those people. The guy on is 700lbs and completely overwhelmed. It puts things in perspective, ya know. While we're doing 30 day shreds and p90x and running and hiking and walking and elliptical...etc etc.. The most this guy can do for exercise is to lay on his back and throw a ball…

Carb Cycling Diet?
Has anyone tried carb cycling? I've read that it is safe and healthy. As a former Atkins dieter, I can say that the weight does come off, but I don't believe it is a very healthy way to live your entire life but I'm curious about carb cycling since I haven't been able to lose weight lately. Anyone?.........

Starting all over again! Ugh!
So... I'm just venting. :grumble: This whole weight-loss thing has been so frustrating. I don't have that much to lose, overall -- 15 pounds or so, but I am a true sugar addict, and cutting all of the junk out of my diet has been a gigantic feat! The first couple of weeks were great -- stayed within my calories, exercised…

Question about plateaus
I've read a lot of posts and articles about "busting through plateaus/jumpstarting metabolism" and I know that I should increase my caloric intake. I read an article by Jillian Michaels and it said to multiply current weight by 12 and to stick to that for a few days/weeks. Since the article I read did not mention anything…

Help to stop comfort eating please.
My food and diet plan is not too bad. I am fine with breakfast and lunch and am very controlled. In the evening I always feel like a glass of wine but mostly I dont bother. I eat a healthy dinner and portion control is fine. My downfall, and the thing I fear is inhibiting my weight loss is evening eating. I have this…

shiratki noodles
Your wrong about only using shirataki noodle in Japan, I live in Thailand and have noodles cooked with many other things. Such as my own made up recipe or a thai recipe. It's all in the way one makes the soup to add to the noodles... One can stay pretty full for a long while after 100 grms of shirataki noodles... Try them…
