chocolate is also addictive, so is sugar, should that be put off the shelves as well? Let's face it, if we are people on this site that have struggled with food addiction (doesn't matter what type of food btw), then you are an addict. If you're an achololic, drinking organic beer isn't going to be any better for you.

great post instead of all the hysteria over this

I don't think his point was to be a terrible example. He stayed within the guidelines of our own governments daily recommendations. Would I do that? No. I think the point is that it is possible to make better choices no matter where you eat. I actually takes a lot of restraint to keep within those guidelines at a fast food…

I'm starting a healthy lo carb diet today too. I'm trying to keep my carbs around 45-65. I know my sister only tries to have 20 per day. To me that is just too difficult. I think it also depends on how much exercise you get and how you metabolize food. I would never go over 70 carbs unless you weight train along with…

Exercise and B-vitamins. Best drug for depression. Sometimes doing something nice for someone else. Go get a starbucks card for $5 and leave it in a friends doorstep with a nice note. You'll be surprised how you get your mind off yourself.

haha, I just posted that one! has been a life saver for me. My blender does not mix it to the right conistency though. You might have a better blender. I use my cuisinart food processor.

If you like bananas, you are going to LOVE this one. Cut up a banana in 2" slices. Freeze in a zip-lock bag. Put in a cuisinart and blend until it balls up and is a creamy texture. You can add 1 Tbs cocoa powder if you like, or I get this stuff called PB2 (peanut butter powder) and put 1 tsp of that in too. It has the same…

I keep a journal and before eating out of emotions, I talk about it in my journal. By the time I write it out and read it again, I'm not wanting the food to comfort me. There must be things you "love" to do even on bad days. Set yourself up to do those things when you get to this point. I struggle with excercise, but I…

I agree with DZ Rogers about him taking responsibility for his own weight loss. I don't think 1500 calories is going to kill him but you may want to tell him if he eat way under what he should be eating, it can actually cause your bodies metabolism to hold on to the fat he has. Also, if he loses weight so rapidly he may…

Hi! I'm only 4'9" and trying to lose 25lbs. We short girls have to try a little harder but don't worry, YOU CAN DO IT!

I totally understand! I'm only 4'10" and in my mid 40's. It isn't easy because we need less calories. Just take one day at a time. I just started yesterday. Trying to get this 25lbs off for good! Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter
