its full of sugar!

Hi, I am down 50lbs and I have tried these since Dec. With healthy eating as well as some exercise. They help me stay on track away from fast food. They are more for disicipline for me.

if you skip the cheese, have a light dressing and load it with veggies it is definitely a better option than most fast food places!

HI, i currently take a supplement called F-10 by Advanced Genetics. It says to take 4 a day but I only take 2 a day and have been down 44lbs. Mind you I always eat within my calories, lightly exercise and have tried eating much cleaner foods. I rarely eat fast food or high sugary drinks such as juice. I find the F-10 gives…

could be low blood sugar. try eating smaller portions but eating more frequently.

i use the shakes occasionally. they have helped me cut out fast food and soda. however if you do not change your eating habits along with drinking the shakes they will not be beneficial. you have to say to yourself if i stopped doing the shakes "would i be able to maintain a healthy lifestyle without them". I am down over…

Hey, try eating a cleaner diet. I only went back a few days but i notice fast food almost everyday. Use those calories on things like lean meat, fish and vegetables and maybe throw in a few nuts like almonds or pistachios. This might help. Either way its better for you! Good luck

Tomorrow planning a trip to Pizza Hut, who knows what they will bring :)

Thanks everyone!

Exercise more, to earn extra calories, and eat more low calorie things such as vegetables and fruit. Have smaller portions and include more vegetables.

Food can be addicting however I believe any addiciton can be controlled. Doing things in moderation and a steady pace always has helped me. I have personally lost 30lb since the first of December. 1 big thing for me was fast food. Once i cut that out and started experimenting with new foods this is where i saw my success.…

It is a general guideline. Yes there is always exceptions just like anything in life.

Also, you do not want to eat too little or your body will begin going into a starvation mode and you will plateau. You will need to shock your system once and awhile if you plateau and eat more calories than normal. Hope this helps.

It takes roughly a defiict of 3500 calories to lose 1 lb. So if you are eating 500 cals less a day you should be roughly losing a lb a week. You always want your calorie intake to be less than output. If you want to maintain the weight it should be roughly the same. For a rough guidance i would stick to what MFP tells you.…

IMO calories are calories whether it comes from fruit and vegetables or if it comes from a burger. Only difference is you can have alot more vegetables than burgers. Maybe try the low cal gatorade. My girlfriend drinks that from time to time and it virtually tastes the same.

i have tried taking a supplement called F-10 by Advanced Genetics. Seems to help cravings such as fast food and i seem to stay full longer than i used to. It recommends taking 2 pills twice a day. I only take 1 in the morning and 1 in the afternoon. It has helped me definitely however because of the high caffeine in these…

Thanks! Any suggestion on brand of yogurt?
