well form my own perspective, the main issue is not the statement but the sweeping genralisation, it can easily lead to misinturpation. calories do matter to a point, you have a certain amount you need to maintain a healthy body...excess calories are going to do stuff to your body regardless, the most common effect is to…

i know exactley what you mean, i have had this issue now since about 5 i just don't feel full and feel like i have tried it all. water to each meal, chew slowley, little and often, restrictions on certain types off food. you have too look at what is keeping you hungry, i know soem peopel who eat a few light snacks and one…

calories and tracking the enternal delima, counting just your calories by itself does nothing to educate you it just sticks to a gimmick style plan that might be good if you can stick with it, but otherwise will not be helpfull, caus eit's easy to get frustrated. tracking the nutrional information for all of it, will tell…

tahnks guys some of these suggestions ar emore practical for me than others, but a lot of good suggestions, i will definatley be using some of these, if people still have more ideas, i don't mind more varity

i urge any person wacthing theese kind of documentries to consider thier opion carefully. i make no excuises for the fact that they are evil and yes what they do is wrong, but as consumers all we have to do to stop it is not partake and they will look for things which appeal to us. sadley they found something that appealed…

from what i have read of all the posts in here (about the first 3 pages) ihave something i can prehaps shed some light with. the act itself talking for hours almost constantly texting an old freind this is not wrong, if out side of a relationship no one would say anything odd about it and it does happe, espically if they…

he is being very ignorant, both of other ideas and of your needs, he will likly never understand, unless he gets a condition which requires him to mange his weight. that being said controlling your portion size is a good thing, otherwise you end up eating a lot of stuff you don't need to, i have noticed that almost…

i have no idea what makes that different from a normal vegan, but that is not really a big thing. any excerise is a good excerise, but it's best if you enjoy it and it sounds like you do enjoy, so far most of my excerise is walking and that along with the counting system has really helped me, i still have a lot of areas to…

i really did not hit a moment of "i have to change this", i was allready at a platue in my life, but due to some heavy drinking years have a bit of a beer gut to me. i knew dieting was not for me and loathed the gym's as they seemed over priced, but lacked the motivation to do anything about it. then a freind introduced me…

1) i was pleasantley shocked to really see this site had no gimmick attached to it with a preset diet control plan to lose the weight. 2) i was shocked to see how much extra calories my snacks where puting into me 3) i was shocked to learn that a lot of so called healthy foods, are really not that much better for you than…

i'm not so much of a spirits man, but when i go out for a evening or meal i will drink and my posion is pints, my particualr favirote brand nets me a lot of caliroies, so if i know i'm going out, i tend to eat a lower calroie meal now before if in the evening or in the evening when i eat if an afternoon thing. even with…

for me i don't exactley binge, i live in a constant state of hungar, i have this pretty much under controll, but snacks really get me. for example, if i have an open packet of biscuits beside me, then every so often i would take a biscuit, and then before i realsie what has happened i will have eaten the enitre pack..if…

thank you all fopr responding, am trying to keep this as accurate as possiable, so i don't cheat myself, guess i will have to look thi sone up indivually to get the info i need

i don't remeber exactley what the fiqure is but muscle is heavier than fat by quite a bit, it is possiable that if you have been gaining muscle then you are not doing anything wrong but you may not be losing weight as a result. i think it's important to keep things in perspective when you are getting muscle gain, if you…

agrees, the adds are a great idea to get people to band together and accept a real image, however thats not i think exactually what dove had in mind. i don't recall the exact name/product for advertising dove did , but there was one where they got loads of "ordinary people" who kept saying i never thought i would be in a…

for all the wanders of modern rechnogaly it would not surprise me if it has some modern quirks. on the mechanical ones i got to help me keep track, they have to be adjusted to the correct zero point if not used daily. It's worth reading the manual it will tell you if you have to step on and off a couple of times and how to…

looks like scales are going to be a good investment then, thank you all for you're help, this is the first time i have even attempted to mointer my eating in this way.

thank you both for your replies, i'm still learning how to use this site and did not know i could update the portion size for what i'm eating to address both you comments. size estimation - the packaging is not always clear on what a portion size is and so makes it akward for me to guesstimate it at times, i don't want to…
