  • Are you sure that you're eating enough on a regular basis? From logging on MFP, I found that after a few days of eating 1200 calories I would end up binging on around 3000. Which is counterproductive! This is just my eating habits - I don't like eating a lot routinely, but then my body gets hungry so I binge. I've been…
  • Well, now you're just being mean. Perhaps you should go have a time-out until you learn how to speak nicely to people. And labwork isn't going to show exactly how BC affects metabolism. There are plenty of gaps in our medical knowledge - it is much more of an art than a science. Personal experience is as good as anything…
  • This :) I like seeing the number, even if it goes up. But I just treat it as interesting data about my body, not something to obsess about.
  • I think you could put a note in your profile quite easily. Something like "I really enjoy being encouraged by others on their healthy journeys to weight loss, but I am not interested in purchasing any "quick fix" products like Herbalife or Shakeology.

  • Which of the suggestions on here would take an HOUR to prepare? Seriously, three minutes at max. I can show up 3 min early if a boss cares ;) But usually it's considered the same as a bathroom break and I get glowing reviews about my work ethic so I'm not too worried. I work on my computer, so no one cares if I have a bowl…
  • When are you drinking the water? I (randomly) started getting acid reflux last year. I found, through trial & error, that one of the biggest causes for me was drinking water while I ate. Now I pour only the smallest glass of water at mealtime, and drink fluids between meals. Pizza turned out to be a compilation of my worst…
  • I like to eat breakfast at work b/c it's more time-efficient. Not a bizarre issue, but rather a time saving technique ;) My recent breakfasts have been a cup of oatmeal with a bit of sugar & butter on top. Today I tried going for the bacon/eggs route (cooked at home) to get in more protein but I've been nauseous all…
  • I definitely agree with the advice to eat at least maintenance calories if your goal in this race is performance. You need to FUEL your body! After the race, I would personally go back to your usual number of calories but with plenty of protein. Although I do always splurge on a nice post-race meal! Burrito is my favorite…
