  • I quit diet coke about 3 months ago after a 12 pack a day habit. Now I drink about a gallon and a half of water everyday instead. I've noticed far fewer headaches as many people have stated. Also, certain foods taste much better to me. I used to never like vegetables of any kind, now I find myself craving things like…

  • What keeps me going in every aspect of my life is "I want to be a Dad my kids are proud of" Also "food is nothing more than fuel" . When you think of food in this way, it makes you really think about what you are putting in your mouth.

  • I guess I'm screwed then. I drank about 12 diet cokes a day for about 4 years. I probably already have cancer from it. On a side note, I gave it up completely about 3 months ago and have never felt better. Much more energy and no headaches anymore. I thought I'd never be able to give it up but it was actually no problem as…

  • Fiber One cereal and Benefiber mixed in with my water. Also, the promax LS bars have a ton of fiber in them too.

  • My calorie goal is similar to yours. I consistently stay below it though, and no, I don't eat back my excercise calories. What I have found to be helpful is just staying off the scale. In fact, I only weigh myself every 8 weeks. If you are constantly checking your weight, the time it takes to lose it will feel like an…

  • Better to not get a hangover in the first place... Here is my hangover prevention protocol... Before you go to bed, drink as much water as you can. I usually slam about 2 full glasses.

  • I rarely get sick but it seems like my wife and 3 little girls are always getting colds and flu bugs. Here's what I do... 1. Take a good multivitamin (Don't get a cheap kind) The one I take is in capsule form and supposedly that helps it absorb better. 2. Wash your hands as often as possible and keep some hand sanitizer…

  • I used to drink about a 12 pack of diet coke/day, now I cut out soda completely and switched to about a gallon of water/day. I don't know if that has helped my weight loss at all but I know I have a lot more energy, especially in the afternoon when I used to always feel run down.

  • I was a 12 pack/day diet coke drinker up until 2 months ago. I went cold turkey and now drink about a gallon and a half of water every day and have never felt better. I used to get extremely tired mid afternoon and now I have twice the energy. On top of that, my sleep patterns have improved greatly. My case is pretty…
