  • QUIT QUIT QUIT QUIT QUIT QUIT I could go into why sweeteners and diet drinks are REALLY bad for you, but more importantly maybe to you, is that they WILL keep your body addicted to sugar. They may be zero calorie but will still give your body a spike in glucose levels, thus sending you on that rollercoaster of food…
    in Is it bad to drink soda every day? Comment by cassie858 March 2015
  • Thanks herrspoons! As a result of the type of IF diet I have, some days I am in a calorie deficit and some days I am in a surplus. I am trying a lean gains style of IF in order to cut fat and build muscle at the same time. This obviously wouldn't be ideal for someone trying to bulk a serious amount of muscle, but I am not…

  • Don't abuse laxatives.. it will only make your constipation worse in the long run as your body becomes reliant on those drugs to work. I CERTAINLY would NOT take stimulant laxatives such as senekot for more than a couple of days in a row. If you become uncomfortably constipated and need a little help, (aside from obviously…
