This is a very interesting study: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minnesota_Starvation_Experiment

This is true and I can speak from personal experience. Eating so few calories is not realistic, healthy or maintainable, plus it can lead you down a very dark path and develop an eating disorder. And I don't understand why some people have to be negative. She's simply stating her opinion, so if you don't agree, then why…

my chai tea lattes which I stopped drinking after discoving how much sugar they had! as well as other fancy Starbucks-type drinks. Now I'd rather eat my calories than drink them, that's how I justify it. Also, just grabbing whatever I feel like, whenever and not worrying about the calorie/fat/sodium/sugar content! or when…

oh no! When I came out of the class when I did it in the summer, I was literally drenched, to the point that it looks like I took a shower with my clothes on. At first I was a bit embarrassed that I was sweating profusely but then as I looked around, so was everyone else, so now I love the sweating! Makes me feel like I’m…

awesome. thank you. I thought maybe the heat would make you burn more, but I know you're just losing water.

I find the excuse of not having time to eat pretty lame. Even if it's just an apple, banana, granola bar, fruit salad, whatever, there's lots of food options out there that you can eat on the go. Also, when you do start eating normally, you will gain it back, and I can speak from personal experience. You lost so much in a…

I used to do it daily when I was at my lowest weight and it started to mess with me emotionally as I could gain anywhere from 2-5 pounds day-to-day and it would make me panic so I had to stop. Now I weigh in once a week on Sundays. Resarch suggest to do it weekly as that is a true representation of your weight loss/gain.…

I love reading everyone's stats!!! keep posting!

Big Bacon Classic (combo!!!) from Wendy's, pretty much every day :( If I knew I wouldn't be able to eat that stuff now, I would have ate twice as much hehe

I think it's all in the way it's said as it can cross that line and become mentally abusive and instead of helping you, it only drives you to eat more in spite. At the same time, and I'm NOT defending men, but they honestly don't realize that what they say sometimes or how they say it comes off completely wrong and is…

Welcome!!! I am new to this particular site too (about 5 days now) and I absolutely love it! Lots of support and great people! Feel free to add me :)

If you read the book it doesn't endorse or encourage fast foot, junk, doughnuts, chips, etc. The main idea behind the "diet" is that you alternate between low and high days through the week and then once a week you have a day where you double your calories in order to give your metabolism a "boost" and shock it. If you're…

I have been following the spike diet more or less for the past 4/5 months. I used to follow it really well when I was losing weight and now that I'm maintaining and since I've went from working out 7 times a week to now light walking 3-4 times a week, I still keep my one spike day per week. Without this spike day, I would…

Technically, online, through one of his friends who I was actually supposed to meet. Been married for 4 years, together for 8. Can't go wrong with meeting someone online! Well, actually yeah you can, just don't go on ashleymadison lol

In my opinion, you are eating too little, which could explain why youv'e been stuck at your current weight for 2 months. Women need a minimum of 1,200 calories and that's without exericse. So if you're only eating 1,200 calories and then you are exercising 600 away, that's only leaving you with 600 calories. That's pretty…

you do not even taste the Miracle Whip (which is salad dressing similar to mayo) and it makes it sooo moist. This recipe is amazing!

I am addicted to Shredded Wheat Spoon Size. I eat about 2 bowls every day! Besides being super filling, it's also really healthy. And it tastes soooo good with Almond Breeze Unsweetened Vanilla!
-
Yeah if it's up again next week, I'm going to eliminate the spike day, or make sure I exercise extra that day and the day after. I can't eliminate all the bad/junk food again, because I'll go crazy, so I want to keep in there somehow so maybe just eat whatever I want when I want, as long as I have enough calories…

It really isn't "the" number for women, but rather just an average of the BMR for most women. The BMR is the # of calories your body uses just to sustain itself (ie if you were in bed all day). Eating less than that and you are really looking at muscle loss (even moreso than fat loss - think of what happens to people's…

yay - meeeee tooo!!!

I have a "cheat" day once a week and eat whatever I crave throughout the week and double my calories. It sort of serves to "shock" my metabolism and give it a boost. This is from the "Spike Diet" theory so in other words it spikes my metabolism. The rest of the week I eat super healhty and clean with no junk whatsoever.…

I eat cottage cheese every day, twice a day! My new favourite mix is canned peaches (in water)! Before that it was yogurt! yum! I love cottage cheese!
