  • Thanks everyone - glad to know I am not the only one dealing with this! I do exercise on a regular basis which warms me right up (30 minutes of running, spinning 3-4x a week with some strength thrown in), but then my body temperature inevitably falls again around 1 hour after my workouts stop. Can't win! I haven't gotten a…

  • Thanks everyone. My goal is 1500 calories. For breakfast I have been eating oatmeal with a scoop of natural peanut butter (THE REAL STUFF - with no added sugar, just peanuts and a dash of salt) - around 300 calories. Lunch will be a 600 calorie salad from Sweetgreen. Dinner will be scrambled eggs with some veggies and…

  • Yes normally when I travel on my own dime it's never even a consideration but when it's for work and I'm not paying the bill the temptation is real
    in NSV - saying NO the mini bar! Comment by leo10021 March 2017
  • I've tried this in the past and while I initially got great results, I wouldn't recommend it as a long term strategy. I was in a place at the time, primarily motivated by vanity, and didn't have my health as the #1 underlying reason for doing this. I was doing the 5:2 diet, where on Mondays and Thursdays I would eat <~500…

  • @TimothyFish @booksandchocolate12 This is really uncalled for. Just because things certainly don't get any easier as the years add on and my comment might sound naive to you, doesn't make the changes from early 20s to late 20s any less real. It might not be so much as a true physical metabolic change, but all of the…

I did not mean to imply that a drug addiction is equivalent to a sugar addiction as far as harmful effects on the body, but rather was making an comparison to the overpowering compulsion and stop-at-nothing craving for my next fix every day. Sometimes its more than a few…
