The old "8 cups a day" rule is an outdated myth. The closest study I have read (from over 50 years ago...back when cigarettes were still good for you) indicated healthy people ingest 6-8 cups of water per day. That included water contained in foods. The majority of most foods is composed of water (heck, we are roughly 70%…

Think of it this way....either way you are going to lose weight if you are following the calorie count, so do what you can do comfortably for you. That may involve eating back the calories some days because you fell hungry, and not eating them back on another night.

It really depends on what your final goal is. If your goal is distance running, then works on going to 10k. If you are happy with your distance, then begin focusing on getting your time under 30:00. You will find that that it begins building your muscles in slightly different ways, so it helps to decide on your final goal…

If you want to stay along the same lines as toast, how about Eggos? 2 slices of toast ~ 160 calories 2 eggos ~ 190 calories Neither will do much for you nutrition-wise, but Eggos do taste better, especially if you don't use butter.

The problem with studies like this is that every other week there is another study that says something else is bad for you. If you believed all of them, you would not be able to eat anything.

^^^ Unsubstantiated myth. The closest Doctors can say is that it may be linked to osteoperosis simply because people drink soda instead of milk.

If you are video gamers....Mass(age) Effect

Unfortunately, only you know what is going to motivate you. It is different for everyone. For some it may be a picture of themselves, for others it could be an upcoming vacation or reunion. One thing that gets me going is to sign up for some activity, like a 5k (or maybe a run/walk charity event). Once I have made the…

Losing 10-17 pounds per week does not even pass the straight face test. It takes approximately 3600 calories to burn one pound, and this is not considering that you may be burning off muscle instead of fat. Even so, 3600 x 10 = 36,000....so you would need to have a calorie deficit of 36,000 calories in one week (that's…

Anything at a restaurant is usually going to be flooded with oil/fat/butter in an effort to make it more flavorful. With that said, at least you kept calories in mind when you made your order....Maybe get the mobile app so you can check calories on the fly at a restaurant (if you have a smart phone)?

...they didn't have cell phones like we know them when I got my first "mobile phone". It was a "bag phone" which had to be constantly plugged into the car cigarette lighter and still had a handset that you hung up onto a base unit. That thing had great range...it was practically a military satellite phone....that was back…

There is the problem right there. People are giving you the advice you are asking for, but you don't dare to trust them...Why keep asking if you will not follow the advice given? Try it for a couple weeks and see what happens.

Regardless of what you call it, if you stop taking in enough calories, you are going to start losing muscle as well as fat as your body starts living off it's own stores. So...you will end up weak, lethargic, and eventually "skinny fat", if you keep up the process long enough, as your body consumes not only fat, but…

...yeah...that one car makes a huge difference....it might even burn as much gas as the truck that shipped the oranges that are decorating the drink in your profile picture...So, should I ask you to please refrain from having unnecessary garnishes in your drinks, as it would help the environment?...Nah, that would just…

If it serves 2 and there are 6 cakes....6 divided by 2 = 3, so each serving is 3 cakes. However, recipes tend to not always be accurate on the calorie count. I would add up the ingredients to be more accurate.

...SO, first you say it isn't true, and then provide the proper scientific explanation to why it IS true (which it is , though the extra calories burned to heat the water is so small that it does not really matter). You also add a statement that you can't effectively change your metabolism, which is completely untrue...a…

I was disappointed. I've been waiting for it since January, and it was only "ok", even with Charlize Theron in it. Aliens is still my favorite in the series, despite Newt's bad acting... And Ladimang, I read that the plan was to have one or two more movies to complete the whole prequel story, so maybe your questions will…

Yeah, rice pasta/noodles have about the same calories as regular pasta. 1 Cup = 192 calories on most counters. It's an alternative, but not any better in terms of calories.

Why is it a slap in the face to you to let other people post their opinions and feelings? Should I be offended because you then turn around and post about people being misinformed? For some who tightly control their caloric intake, 400 calories is a lot. Everyone is different. If more people took care of their own problems…

I'd have to second the vodka w/some low cal mixer options as a good bet, if for no other reason than the fact that the higher alcohol content in spirits means you put less in your face hole. The huge downfall with beer and wine coolers is that people often consume a bunch of them at a party, as opposed to a few mixed…

How do you not know what a handle is?

Compared to 80% of other breakfasts consumed, I would say this is not bad at all. I guess it depends on what you are looking at when you say "healthy". Are you talking only calories? Fat content? Healthy is such a generic term that it is hard to say what you are most concerned with...

I'm a firm believer that you can eat what you want....It's trying to act superior and push your views onto others that would make you a jerk. If you want to eat birdseed and tofu all day long, go for it...just don't condemn me because I like to eat a blueberry Eggo and Nutella sandwich.

It not only is possible, but is common when first starting an exercise or diet routine. It's part of the reason why "fad diets" or exercises gain traction. You will see results quickly in any exercise or diet routine. The drastic changes will slow as your body gets used to the new routine. Don't get discouraged. It is your…

54-58...but if I concentrate/meditate on it, I can make it dip down to 42 to 44. The P.A. at my Doctor's Office thought it was a fluke the first time I did it while he was monitoring...pretty amazing what you can make your body do when you focus on it.

If you want to switch it up a little from sword and sorcery, Hellgate is free to play and is an RPG/shooter hybrid set in an MMO world.

A home option would be a low-weight/high-rep upper body workout (maybe even resistance bands). Low enough weight that you can keep it up for 15-20 minutes (alternating exercises) without stopping. It's definitely not ideal, as your largest muscles are in your legs, and the demand to get oxygen to your muscles is what…

Everyone needs a "free night" once in a while or you will go nuts. I would even recommend scheduling or allowing yourself a few "free nights" every month. Just be sure to keep track of them so you don't make every night a free night.

The only thing that consistently works for me is to NOT eat less. I just found substitutes that contain fewer calories, so I can still "pig out", but not consume as many calories. Want a big ol' sloppy hamburger? I use skinless chicken breast instead, and use mustard instead of ketchup or mayo (no calories in mustard).…

I am in the process of going back up to my maintenance calories for three weeks in hopes of resetting my metabolism. I will then lower my intake for the final push to my weight goal. I have been stuck at 6 pounds to go for almost a month regardless of what I do for exercise, so I figure the stall must be due to not taking…
