  • It's a good thing to get looser fat. It means what you have on your belly is deflating fat cells and skin, so it's going to be easier to flop around. Remember, your fat cells swell up when they store fat. It takes a while for the skin to react to the smaller mass inside it, because it has to first shed old skin and regrow…

  • Paleo diet is based on pseudoscience. I will never eat the way my body does not want. (Also, it is so damned expensive!!!)

  • There's no science saying it's harmful, assuming you're in good health and have no conditions that would say otherwise. So try it for a month or two and see how you like it. If it's not something you can adjust to, ditch it. Humans can work on both carbohydrate and ketones (your body naturally switches to ketosis…

  • JayRuby84 makes a good point. Sometimes just letting people know their words make you sad or are hurtful can make them reevaluate how they talk with you.

  • Muscle gain. Don't worry though; more muscle means more fat burning in long term. 12 days isn't enough to see results, even at 1200 calories.

  • I get told this too. I deal with it by pretending to listen to them, but really thinking about other things while they talk. Or changing the subject. For some family members I just say "Thanks!" and flip them off, but that is my family... ;) Please don't let yourself get attached too strongly to their opinions. The truth…

  • Everybody is different. It's not an easy answer, and requires some personal reflection and investigation. The idea behind not eating so late is that supposedly if you eat a "heavy" meal (as Americans tend to eat their biggest meal at night), and then go to bed soon after, it will not have a chance to be used before…

  • 1 cup of oatmeal (just plain, not instant or flavoured) is 300 calories. I eat this daily, and just put some flax meal in it (for the omega 3). It's not a lot of calories for one meal, and it should be pretty filling. I find it lasts a long time, so it's definitely not too many calories, plus oatmeal has decent amount of…
