I think this depends on your definition of healthy. For me, moderation is healthy. You should of course aim to eat more fruits and vegetables as well as a healthy consumption of protein and carbohydrates. With that being said, if you ate at McDonald's regularly (staying under your calorie goal) and being sure to get your…

The best :heart:

I would eat virtually nothing and work out extensively. Or binge eat and purge. I.e no middle ground (which would be my definition of moderation)

I've been diagnosed with a thyroid condition since I was about 10 (symptoms started around 8 or 9) soy has ALWAYS been the number one food to avoid if you have thyroid problems/ are taking the medication for it. If you are CERTAIN you have a thyroid condition, I would highly recommend doing your own research on the…

I'm going to say no. You said you haven't been working out as much, and chances are you didn't just magically gain muscle from walking. Not too sure if you ever focused on weight training when you were exercising, but it sounds to me like you're losing muscle (therefore, losing weight and gaining inches). Or, none of that…

I didn't log for my thanksgiving (canadian). I enjoyed all my favourites, pumpkin pie, pecan pie, chocolate cake, ice cream. You name I guarantee you I ate it :) and you know what, I even lost half a pound! So I say, spend time with friends and family and enjoy your day! Don't look at it as "I'm going to eat everything I…

I weigh myself whenever I go home, so could be every week, once every two weeks etc... I know weight loss is always the goal, but I don't want it to be my focus. Eating healthier, being more active and treating my body well are more important than numbers on a scale. And being a little OCD, I know I'd obsess over it in a…

Both great points. Until a child has conscious thought, it cannot make its own decisions. Of course, this is the core of the debate. An abortion in my mind is (somewhat) similar to severe brain damage. If the patient's mind forces him to become a theoretical "vegetable", does the family not get right to decide when to the…

The way I ultimately look at this, if you conceive a child you don't want and can live with the option of abortion you should have the right to do so. With the population now over 7 billion, we do not have room for an extra, unwanted child (that sounds reallly harsh, of course every child should be wanted... but its not…

If you just HAVE to eat while studying, go for veggies. I would recommend study breaks where you can eat though, and the list of foods on your study break can be anything as long as its healthy :)

I think that's kind of the proves your point though. My page 2 there was so little debate on "does evolution exist" because there's nothing to debate. It does, its proven scientifically. The only room for debate on this issue is on HOW the world started. and even that was oddly agreed upon by many, if no one knows for…

That just ludicrous. In my area we sit around to watch moose fights . We never make turkey though, takes too long to cook and might burn down the igloo. So we usually roast up a good polar bear (the meat cooks much faster). Such a pain when you run out of the essentials and have to throw on your nike snow shoes just to get…

I think we need to start a weekend binge eating support group lol looks like there's a lot of people doing it with no answer as to why! I know I have this problem too. I've started switching over my weigh in days to Sunday mornings. It at least keeps me a little more accountable for what I'm eating Friday and Saturday…

For the last ten pounds, I would say quality of exercise is EXTREMELY important. Its at this stage that you can focus on toning your body, and possibly building up some good healthy muscle :) With that being your focus, you might be surprised at how much better your body will look, and how quickly the fat will seem to…

Maybe its your approach making you unsuccessful? If your eating before, during and after you clearly just love to eat! Maybe try intermittent fasting for a few weeks. It might fit your lifestyle a little better? (assuming most social activities occur later on at night that is!)

We do in Canada at least. I swear bullying was a class with the extent that we went into it in public school, and even early on into high school. Being the over achieving browner I was, I was on anti-bullying committees in the 8th grade, and in 11th grade was teaching grade 9s the effects and signs of bullying. Bullying…

agreeed, I think russel peters says it best though : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMLr5tOjF3A&feature=related

I think "not believing" translates to "not understanding". As I said before, you can't debate whether or not evolution occurs, because its been scientifically proven. However, you can debate the starting of the earth... as that has yet to be proven scientifically. Though I wouldn't be surprised to see in 500 years people…

The other day was probably one of the first times I DIDNT stress eat while studying. I had to just kind of take a minute to regroup and forget about school work. I had to remind myself of my goals and what I wanted. I put on an episode of "I used to be fat" on my computer and got back to work with a nice cup of green tea.

I do agree with your point actually. It's hard to distinguish between the "innocent" bullying (if such a thing exists), and the bullying that causes a child permanent fear and anguish. Many children are bullied. But what really defines bullying? How often does something have to occur for it to be considered bullying? Or…

I don't believe its a right or a privilege, but rather a natural path. That's like asking do we have a right or a privilege to eat (ok ok, not quite as extreme). And I don't see how applying to have children would change anything? If someone has a baby do you take it away? Or is everyone forced to have something put inside…

We don't take it off work? Man, good thing you don't miss much on skipping one day of school, I've missed it for the past 18 years :noway: Canadians celebrate thanksgiving, its a big holiday here too. We don't have a specific "date", its just always the second Monday of October.(yay for three days of gluttony)

Considering were one of the only animals that actually suppress sexual desire... who knows. I'd say it's because were more advanced intellectually, but we also are the only gluttonous animals who live stressful daily lives. For an advanced group, we sure do a pretty awful job at the basics. In my opinion though, whether or…

I agree with your last point entirely of "setting things into motion" And it certainly is an interesting theory that he would want to leave us something behind, in a sense to "brag about it". But what makes you think he is punishing the non-believers? Surely you are not saying non-believers are to be punished in "hell".…

I think in a way you can't really debate that we have the ability to evolve and adapt, the science and evidence is simply there and it is not really a "debatable" subject (at least in my opinion). With that being said, I was born and raised in a very catholic family, I've never believed in the bible but have always…

:laugh: pretttty much ETA: there's also a binge eating support group on here that you can look up :)

You should have mentioned you plan on losing all your weight by christmas! That changes things completely!! If your goal is just to lose weight as fast as possible then, a very low calorie diet and strenuous amounts of exercise would do the trick! However, if your goal is to lose FAT, in a healthy and sustainable matter,…

Having a mother in the nutrition field comes in handy sometimes lol. I wish I kept the websites she gave me to look at (she wanted me to learn about my thyroid condition on my own and only verify with her) . I can't off the top of my head remember if 4 hours was supposed to be an exact number, or a number I found to be in…

My personal favourite part: " No way! IF works, but people have been getting and staying in awesome shape for decades without it. So I think more frequent eating still has a great place in performance nutrition. Whether to eat frequently or infrequently, to fast or not to fast; it’s about finding what works best for your…
