pineapples!
I heard somewhere ( i think from the "Eat this, Not that" guy) that pineapple helps break down fat faster. So basically if you eat a fatty food with some pineapple, it will break down more fat before it has a chance to stay in your body. He used the example of if your going to have pizza, have pineapples on in. Does anyone…

Do you burn more calories when you're stressed?
I'm not sure, but it seems when I'm stressed I must burn more calories. I know my heart rate increases when I'm frustrated, angry or way too busy. I also sweat just sitting still when I'm stressed. Logic tells me that you must burn more calories when your body is in that heightened state. Could it be that stress is good…

Does anyone else...
feel GUILTY when they eat anything, whether it is grilled chicken and roasted vegatables or even fruit? I have this problem that even if I eat light and healthy I feel guilty, like I shouldn't have eaten it or I ate too much. I know it's ridiculous but it's an underlying feeling. Does anyone else feel this way?
