What is calorie cycling?

another pretty good article: http://naomir.hubpages.com/hub/avoidovereatingatparties i think what would work best for me is: -eat healthy beforehand -have a 'binge buddy' to keep me accountable and to stop me from eating eight desserts -staying away from the unhealthy food (out of sight, out of mind) -bring my own platter…

Parties are my big weakness as well. I have trouble stopping at one piece of dessert (last night I had about 8 pieces of pie). I'm super keen on any advice people post here! At home, keeping my portions in check is no problem. Obviously, I don't want to stop socializing...I just need to figure out how to practice self…

All the manuals can be downloaded from the Polar website. Here's the link to the FT4: http://www.polar.fi/en/support/FT4 I have the FT7 and it's amazing for tracking my calories burned and keeping my training challenging!

Agree that 'good' fats from things like avocados, nuts, fish, coconut oil should be kept in your meals. Your brain is mostly made of fat and your body needs it to be healthy!

I am likewise concerned that I may be becoming addicted to exercise (in an unhealthy way), so I'm taking a rest day today. My 'alarm bell' that I may be addicted is that I am concerned that one day off will negatively impact my weight loss; logically, one day off is fine and healthy for me! My sore legs are my more…
