Metabolic Testing..anyone had this done?
My fitness facility is run by the hospital here and they offer a wide range of things/tests b/c of this. One of the things is metabolic testing. It is noninvasive so I guess no needles and it takes about 45 minutes. There is an additional cost of 45.00. I am wondering if it is really worth it. Is it really going to tell me…

AIM

Just thought it might be a good idea. OH, it might…

How much is too much --- Water?
A friend of mine told me that you aren't supposed to drink more than 8 glasses of water a day? I know that taking in large amounts too quickly can lead to water poisoning, but spaced out over an entire day is it dangerous to go over the 8 glasses? :drinker:

Tough weekend!

calorie cycling
Has anyone heard of calorie cycling? I read about it recently and wondered what dieters thought about it. From what I make of it, it's eating your required calorie amount one day, and then the next day, go lower. It's supposed to break plateaus and make the body believe you are not in starvation mode. I read about it on…

for those of you who don't believe
starvation mode is a real thing, and honestly i'm getting a little tired of people not believing it. now i just posted this on someone else's topic, but i'm going to put it here too cause its very important. it takes close to 1200 calories for your body just to run its organs. so if you eat 900 calories and do no exercise…

working out vs starvation mode
So, I work out every single day and usually burn between 700-1000 calories during my workouts (over 1 hour of straight cardio stuff) So, I was just wondering if the calories you burn by exercising count in the "starvation mode" thing. I know this site counts them...but I was just wondering. I typically eat fairly…

How many of you have kids? Here is my question how do you keep from eating your kids snacks? That is probablly my biggest problem right now. Just snacking all together is a problem, but I need to keep them around for my daughter.

Do I have to eat all of this???
So I have just started this program the other day and i have not been eating as much as my goal says to. (I have had 900 calories left yesterday and 700 today) Will that hinder me in the end?

Eat more, lose more???
