Most Zevia brand sodas are good. They're sweetened with stevia (obviously) and no calorie. I'm kind of crazy over the ginger root beer.

Question: Why are you dairy and gluten free if these foods don't cause you intestinal distress? I'm guessing they don't if you purposely eat them on your "cheat" days.

And raising millions of dollars for research into the terrible disease! Yes, I think that deserves a yay. Are you sending your excess clean water to these people in far away countries?

1. Whatever works best for you. 2. Look into Pilates exercises. They were designed for injured soldiers to stay healthy while recovering. 3. The only foods you should absolutely stay away from are the ones that put you over your limits for the day. I had chicken Mcnuggets and fries for lunch and will still be under my…

Wait, your kids are allowed to wear tank tops at all? We couldn't wear shirts with anything less than cap sleeves.

Resting B-tch Face after losing the last 3lbs directly from my face.

Nothing. You'll be fine as long as you're still getting your necessary nutrients and hitting your calorie goals.

If you don't want to log the exercise routines (probably as circuit training, if you want to), change your activity level to either lightly active or moderately active.

90/10 ground beef is approximately the same calories and exactly the same fat as 90/10 ground turkey. When people say ground turkey is "healthier" than ground beef, they mean the average ground turkey you find is going to have a higher lean-to-fat ratio than the average ground beef you find. Turkey is usually only found in…

Processed sugar is a standard of the American (and many other countries') diet. The question should be what is the benefit of NOT having it in your food since you have to make a concerted effort to avoid it. Aside from one of many ways to create a caloric deficit, there isn't one. Life would be boring if we only did what…

I don't have a before and after, but apparently after losing 25lbs (the last 3 apparently completely from my face) I have accidentally acquired Resting Btch Face. My community theater director has twice told me to "stop looking like it's the end of the world," when I was actually quite chipper those days. FML. ETA: Found…

There really isn't a specific equation you can use, but I would suggest preheating to 400 and cooking the vegetables for the same amount of time as the chicken. Or find another roasted vegetable recipe that calls to cook at 400, there are plenty.

You would lose weight, but assuming your "junk" doesn't cover your nutrients very well a higher percentage of the weight lost would come from muscles and other body tissue. If you ate your calorie goal of nothing but graham crackers you would lose weight, then hair, skin tone, and vital signs.

If money is donated, I don't care if everyone who donates gets a gold medal. Motivation is irrelevant when the results are positive.

No one who says a calorie is a calorie thinks nutrition doesn't also matter. All it means is 200 calories of ice cream will not make you any more fat than 200 calories of chicken breast. If I only have 200 calories left for the day and need protein, I'll go for the chicken. If I have 200 calories left for the day but don't…

I would remove the child from the situation to a neutral spot, such as outside the store but away from the doors, and wait for the child to cool down. No one should restock the groceries out of your cart since it won't take that long, but if you're concerned you could make some kind of tag from a coat hanger to hang on the…

They're good. My brother drinks nearly 10 cans a day and wanted to switch from aspartame, so he got those. The ginger root beer is especially good. They're expensive, though, at nearly $1/can.

My mother and I both lost weight fairly easily. We're the same height. But despite the fact that I started at a lower weight than she did (160ls for me, 190lbs for her) and her being more active than me (I'm sedentary, she's lightly active), she was allotted fewer calories than me. Why? Because I'm 26 and she's 59. Her…

Age affects the "calories out" part of the "calories in < calories out" formula. Therefore, it affects weight loss. You're using the phrase differently than everyone else.

Kids will eat candy until they throw up given the chance. Then do it again.

It's fine to have preferences. It's not fine to call anyone "gross."

If you're looking for a dessert to fill out your macros, you're going to have some problems.

Are you short any nutrients? Start there. Short on fats? Eat nuts or dairy. Short on protein? Eat fattier cuts of meat or larger portions. Short on carbs? Eat enriched breads. Not short on anything? Whatever you want!

Pepperoni rolls are always a good decision and I'm happy to see someone outside West Virginia eating them. Spread the love!

I have two of each and can confirm that both are awesome.

One day of eating only fruits and veggies will neither hurt nor harm you. There is nothing to "cleanse" that your liver doesn't already do on a regular basis. But one day isn't enough to do any real damage, either.

The meals at fast food restaurants are as healthy as you make them out to be.

The PDF they use doesn't count condiments or cheese. You're better off using their nutrition calculator, that yellow button on the right: http://www.subway.com/Menu/Product.aspx?CC=USA&LC=ENG&ProductId=1&MenuId=35&MenuTypeId=1 That's going to be more accurate than what find in the database, but nothing is going to be…

Blizzard, partially for one weird thing: I hate McFlurry spoons. HATE them.

These are Kirby and Shep. They're good boys. These are Sweetie Bell and Stormageddon. They're good girls.
