I do understand your approach @AnnPT77 @Lietchi . I personally can't agree with it. Don't get me wrong I am exposed to sugar as much as you are every day, but being exposed and surviving after exposure doesn't make it good or healthy. Of course there is no one contributing factor to disease, but there is a combo of factors…

I totally agree with you. I consider "appraising stress as a motivator to go in the more productive direction" as a tool for better stress handling and thus reinforcing one's own adaptive capacity. This is how I interacted with the information about optimal stress when I was first introduced to the inverted U model and I…

+ @AnnPT77 Cocaine is bad because it has an addictive potential that destroys health over time. But we don't take that risk and snort cocaine once in a while. Sugar has an addictive potential along side other acute (i.e. inflammatory) and chronic effects (i.e. insulin resistance). Why would I risk it and include artificial…

Sources of stress are always looked at as negative stimuli. I wanted to share the idea that stress can sometimes be a positive…

@Xellercin Very good point, I totally agree with you. Unfortunately in fast food comes the word fast which is one example of easier access to unhealthy choices. Even in supermarkets, studies have shown that product placement affects consumer behavior. So I totally agree with you. One obstacle I encountered during my…

I understand your point of view. For me the community part is just another example I chose relating to commitment after seeing most of the people here look for people to support their weight loss journey. So basically I meant it like just another factor forcing us into the right direction. Another thing that seems like I…

Autonomy is a major contributor to higher motivation especially when combined with a challenging/stimulating environment. I do agree with you on that one. Working for someone else can be seen as taking away from the employee some autonomy which makes stress more annoying even unhealthy but nevertheless if it reaches the…

Thank you all for answering, I use it to track my physical activity as well as my nutrition. Now that I introduced myself to the community I love the fact that I can have a forum where I can interact with people interested in nutrition and learn from all your experiences and knowledge !

Whatsup everybody, It’s been sometime I have been using the app solo (logging my calories and workouts), I am currently looking to make some new friends in here in order to experience the app to its fullest potential. Feel free to add me. Don’t mind un-updated profile I just introduced myself to the community part of this…
