  • I have been a big diet dew fan. For me it is the indirect things that make we want to avoid it. If I have one after noon I don't sleep as well. My dentist notices when I stop drinking it - I have stopped for 6-9 month stretches about 4 times in the past 10 years. I cracked a bone once - doctor told me no carbonated…

  • The scientist in me says it is CICO. And yes, as Neil just said, science doesn't care if you believe it or not. But, you have to go beyond just CICO to transition from a closely monitored 'diet and exercise plan' into an everyday lifestyle. Yes, if I measure and track everything I eat, and I track my activity and I monitor…

  • I turned 44 two weeks ago and am looking to lose 100 by my next birthday. I have made two major changes - diet and exercise. Yeah, I know, that is what everybody says you need to do. On the exercise, on day one I did a 30 minute elliptical workout, somewhat easy. My machine has a calorie counter, and every day I just add 1…
