  • Thorsmom01 and cityruss, you're being completely rude. You're all acting like he's trying to sell a pill or something - he's actually giving really good advice that's often overlooked in the weight loss community. Asking for scientific evidence? This is a message board on a social media platform not a search engine for…

  • Totally disagree with the comments above. Let me explain something briefly - complex versus simple carbs. Complex carbs are more natural, so to speak, such as vegetables. Your body can quickly metabolize and use complex carbs for energy. Simple carbs on the other hand, which are usually processed, have a lot of added sugar…

    in Why are rice cakes considered a "diet food"? Comment by drrae65 September 2015
  • 1100 is too few calories your body is probably going into starvation mode meaning you're holding on to the energy aka calories rather than expending them. increase your cal to about 1300 eliminate carbs and sugars & do an exercise that gets your heart pumping fast for at least 30 min 5 times a week. protein shakes may not…

  • I've given up alcohol too! But mostly just because I'm not 21 yet and I'm trying to avoid getting busted lol. But it works out because I'm using it as an opportunity to lose a lot of weight.
