    So, they're not saying it actually *heightens* the metabolism (maybe the collective "we" have just been assuming that'swhat they've meant) -- but rather they're saying it simply keep us from overeating?

    basically yes, no physical changes, just mental and trigger changes.

    Those ones about cheat meals and huge weight gain over night really helped, cause last night I had a cheat meal for the first time in months and suddenly gained 5 pounds when I woke up. Glad to hear it isn't permanent, thanks!

    #10 You can also loose or gain 5 lbs in day if the scale is caught on the wood trim in the bathroom.
    It happened to me once. I could not figure out why I gained 5 lbs in one day. Then realized when I stepped on the scale it was catching on the wood trim, :)

    While I like the of making this a sticky/tab/homepage thing, I think it would be even MORE useful simply to have a search engine for the forums. Then you could easily search for questions that have already been asked, or recipes with chicken, or stuff like that...

    there is a search engine. At the top of the forums, one of the options is Search. Though it's not all that intuitive. It works ok.

    In defense of the newbs -- whenever I search anything on the forums, my most resent results are at least 4 months old. Granted, most of what you posted wouldn't even require a "search", just scanning one or two pages back.

    Thanks for the info -- as always, great stuff.

    I really like #10 and your explanation.... as simple as it is, it's one of those things people tend to overlook while focusing on the big picture. I know 16 oz is a pound and I drink 8 of these daily, but It never occured to me that it could be the culprit of the some of the flux in my weight, well that and sodium... thank you for a great post and pointing out common sense answers.



    edited for spelling before the keyboard commando's get me...lol:laugh:
