  • If you are at a restaurant, just be honest and ask nicely for what you want. Some may not want to make exceptions, but it never hurts to ask, especially if you are willing to pay and extra buck to have steamed veg instead of fries. Restaurant portions are huge, so if you just ask to have something omitted, that shouldn't…

  • I do exactly as you do, my weekends are mine to do what I like (I don't go too crazy, however). An so far, I have lost about 2 lbs a week. So, at least at this point, it is possible for me to loose and still have 2 days to eat what I like. Mental health is important- so don't beat yourself up over it- have some fun and…

  • My weekends are mine. I drink beer, and eat out....but do try and eat well for the most part. I find the longer I eat well, the less I actually crave bad stuff, so my cheat days aren't too awful. During the week I am pretty strict and I have been losing about 2 lbs a week. So- it works for me to have TWO days to not worry…

  • Try lying on your back, bending your knees and just lifting your hips up. Or, lying on your back with legs straight and just lifting your heels off the ground-even a little. Make sure to focus on using your abs. Sit-ups hurt my neck, so I often work my abs this way.

  • I love Lara bars because they have no added anything in them....just usually dates and nuts and thats about it. I like the coconut one, the peanut butter ones.....well, pretty much any one that I've tried I have enjoyed :-) Because there is nothing artificial in them, they do kind of taste similar. The flavours are subtle,…

  • Well, when I tried to just cold turkey go low carb, I got extremely irritable and depressed. I slowly recovered and now do low carb without too much grief, but it took a few weeks. So, if you want to enjoy your vacation, maybe try not to go too militant. But thats just my experience, every body is different....

  • Read Tim Ferris's 4-Hour Body. His science may be bunk, who knows, but he backs it up with studies and by using himself as a guinea pig. One thing that stuck with me was his idea that the way we ascertain caloric values (measured by burning food) is flawed. The body is not just a big furnace that burns things- the bodies…

  • I really doubt that all calories are made the same....... my personal feeling (and I only just started, so don't take too much stock in what I say) is that MFP is a very simplistic tool, but a useful one if you want a round about idea of what you are eating and how many calories that is. If you ate all your calories in…
