Alrighty...so...I don't drink much soda. I never really have but... A couple of times a week I'm craving something SWEET. Like, really sweet. And the only thing I've found that'll work (and prevent me from grabbing chocolate or ice cream or any of the other bad stuff sitting in the office breakroom) is a diet Sunkist…

Less calories and no exercise?
Hi! I read somewhere that in order to lose 1 pound a week, you would have to cut out 500 calories from your ideal daily calorie intake (based on height and weight) The article recommends that you cut out 250 calories, and burn the other 250. I was just wondering if you cut out the entire 500, and did not do much…

The color blue helping with weight loss?
Bring the color blue into your life more often. There's a good reason you won't see many fast-food restaurants decorated in blue: Believe it or not, the color blue functions as an appetite suppressant. So serve up dinner on blue plates, dress in blue while you eat, and cover your table with a blue tablecloth. Conversely,…

Too much food?
I hope this isn't a dumb question.....According to the site calculator, my calorie goal for the day should be 1790 (I'm 6'4" and semi active). Does this seem right? I feel like I am eating like crazy to use up all of my calories. I had 400 left over at the end of the night and my wife was giving me a hard time for not…

Well, it's my fault :frown: I decided to take my vitamin in the middle of me eatting lunch instead of after. Well, needless to say it made me sick and I upchucked most of my lunch :noway: Guess I learned my lesson! Now I don't know if I should re-eat those 220 calories or not, I'm thinking I do. :sad:

Does Anyone Else Do This?
I have found that since I have been dieting and exercising I am doing this very odd.... thing. I will often think "I am hungry" and then go to the kitchen. I will spend a good few minutes wondering around the kitchen, opening cupboards, drawers, the fridge, the freezer and having a look inside. I will stare for a while,…

Question about cardio vs strength training.

Exercise Calories
Just by reading some of the posts on here, I've seen that you're supposed to eat the calories you burn off by exercising. I'm not sure how it works or how it helps but I'm wondering whether you have to eat all of the calories you burn?? For example, if you burn 200 calories off on the treadmill, do you have to eat that…
