Now all I can think of is Dr. Oz going "Do not look at the man behind the curtain". Even his name makes him seem like a fraud.

Whether or not gmo hurts people isn't an opinion. It's a fact that we have genetically modified nearly everything we eat and it doesn't hurt and in fact helps us. Take for instance, bananas, they used to have seeds, now because we treat their seeds with colchicine (a toxin commonly found in colchicum autumnus, the autumn…

Chocolate raspberry cheesecake (and any other cheesecake for that matter) Ghirardelli dark chocolate and raspberries and anything dark chocolate and fruit and just about any french pastry. I'm such a sucker for anything found in a patisserie. Domino's past bread bowl Ramen, curry, Katsudon, *good* pork buns Just gimme…

Go for it, and if your goal is 2600 then you should definitely be able to hit that. A slice of cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory is around 12-1400 calories and I think a slice of plain cheesecake is around 4-600. And like everyone's said, carbs aren't the enemy, you may see some water retention but that's it.

1 week if I'm home cooking for my family, 2 weeks if I'm at my university cuz I eat a lot of leftovers.

Just realize that it's going to waste or to your waist because if it's that awful I know I would want something else which might just put me over. It is difficult though, to throw away food, but if keep with the idea that you won't eat anything you don't like, it helps. Now (since I am on the hunt for the best hot…

Or Darwin Award ;)

I'm confused? How big are you cup wise if you don't mind me asking? Cuz I have a 42" bust and an only a C.

As others have said, go and get professional help. It seems like you really need address your anxiety first before you can get a handle on your weight.

Yeah but most of those disorders don't apply to the majority of the population (I.e. Prader willi (and other metabolic disorders) causes mental retardation among other things most people don't have).

The only thing traditional waist training does is move your bottom ribs inward and push your internal organs up or down to create an hourglass shape. If you go too extreme (like the people with something like 9in waists or something ridiculous like that) you'll end up with medical problems, if you train like Dita von Teese…

There's a recipe sub forum, it's like 2nd to last on the list :)

From the research I've done it seems children only need to be taught a few things: what and how to eat (so portion control and eating slowly), to stop when full (so "eat everything on your plate" needs to go), no restricted foods (one study I read found that children of parents who restricted food at more of the "bad" food…

I'm not sure about your food being the issue so long as you're not deficient in anything. What's your exercise like? I know that for me personally something as simple as a 30 minute walk can really boost my energy for the rest of the day and that the times I've been feeling my best I've been exercising about 3-4 days a…

For me, my weight gain started at age 5. I was taken to the doctor to test for any diseases and whatnot since it was a rather sudden weight gain (according to my mom) and I've been overweight til now, 16 years later. I didn't really know why I was over weight during this period, in my brain it was either I just was or…

I just recently solved this problem for myself. Try looking at the days where you feel full and see what the difference is. For me, I realized the days when I only had breakfast and a large carb heavy lunch were the days when I felt full that whole day. Also, try to make sure it's not just a craving, sometimes my brain…

Just an FYI metabolic syndrome is just a cluster of conditions that will increase your risk of heart disease and other such things, one such condition being obesity itself and another being high BP (from: quick google look up and RAS articles relating to obesity that I don't feel like digging for).

Thanks, now I know for sure what I'm logging :)

Barry's gold blend black tea with milk and sugar and teavana's fruity green teas and white teas and herbal teas and basically anything teavana. Black tea with pomegranate is really good, so is Twining's Prince of Wales and Winter Spice teas (black tea and apple spiced chamomile respectively).

To quote Nike "just do it." Seriously. I used to never work out and when I wanted to do something I just never had the energy or motivation to do so but by telling myself I'd just do 10 minutes of whatever it was and then stop if I didn't feel like it still I got myself to exercise and more often than not I'd keep going. I…

Squats <3 I know people say they hate leg day but I love it :)

If you feel fat and really just want to tone up, go into recomp and start yer lifting

Congrats! Like others have said, just making any progress on your depression is a HUGE success! You're dealing a huge beast that likes to sap the energy and motivation right out of you, so making the gains you have is awesome. Keep going :)

Archery, strength training, and yoga!

If you're trying to save money, try planning your family's meals a week in advance and make sure they have some similar ingrediants. Like, for me right now, it's soup season, so I make a lot of soups that have both celery and carrots in them that way I can make a wide variety without wasting most of my ingrediants. And…

I eat around 1500 calories a day, feel free to look at my diary :) Right now tho, the apple chicken curry, rice, and salad I have for dinners is pretty filling

It's both, in order to lose weight you must eat less calories than you use but yes, eating 1500 calories of cake is far different from eating 1500 calories of fruits, veggies, proteins, and carbs in that you can get the vitamins and minerals you need to survive with one and not the other. There's also a difference between…

You could also just incorporate the calories in if you really want it, just put in half a serving or so that way you can have a taste without too many calories or if that'll trigger a binge for you, eat before hand so you'll be full and stay away from where the food is at and focus on talking and interacting with people if…

For weight lifting I like Strong Curves :)

Pretty sure it was the phylalanine from what I've read. People were thinking if they ate it they would end up with mental retardation or some other stuff that only happens with people who have phenylketonuria without realising that PKA is something we test for at birth :/
