Changing the way that your body perceives real food is every bit as dangerous as an physical disease. These chemical sweeteners are designed to help people to live healthier lives, to help them fight obesity, and to allow people with diabetes to eat sweet tasting food. If they are not doing that, if they are actually…

Did you read the article? It is about all artificial sweeteners but the following suggests that it IS bad for you: 1. Overstimulation of sugar receptors from frequent use of these hyper-intense sweeteners may limit tolerance for more complex tastes,” explains Dr. Ludwig. That means people who routinely use artificial…

How about Harvard for a good source? http://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/artificial-sweeteners-sugar-free-but-at-what-cost-201207165030

I have Aspartame very very occasionally, mostly in sugar free gum. While I agree that Dr. Mercola is a quack, I think we need to be very cautious about the large variety of chemical ( "natural" and artificial) that we are putting into our bodies on a daily basis. We are mixing all these chemicals together in our stomachs…

You have to always remember that your goal includes a built in deficit. If you eat over your goal you are not going to get gain unless you are at maintenance. It is just fine to go over your goal, you will just lose more slowly, but if you are really hungry just make a good healthy choice and be at for example only a 300…

I am probably going to get stoned for this, but that is like saying why do non-religious people celebrate Christmas. Seriously I know a few people who are SUPER into Christmas but completely athiest (if they were pagan at least they could be celebrating the solstice). Seems odd to me that you would join in a celebration,…

I way upped my protien. I switched my macros to 40 carbs/30protien/30 protien. I don't always make it since when I have a really active day 30% protien is just more than I can eat, but I eat at least 115 of whatever unit they show per day now (I am 130lbs) and the scale has started moving again.

Bump.

I still eat Pizza AND double cheeseburgers regularly. I just always eat them with healthy food (usually a large side salad) and plan for them so the rest of my day picks up the slack. For this to be sustainable you have to eat your favorite foods occasionally.

TDEE by activity level is SO hard to gauge on your own. I recently got a bodymedia armband and it has me burning between 2300 and 2700 calories a day with usually only 200-400 coming from formal exercise. Using the best calculators I could find on the internet they all had my TDEE at less than 1200 so no wonder I was…

Are you eating them for dessert. If so, and they are your treat for the day, awesome. The problem with pop-tarts is that people believe they are a MEAL, and they have pretty much no nutritious content. That would be why people hate on them. They are made from Hydrogenated oils and enriched flour with sugar (and High…

Thanks Ladies, I will look into all those options.

What I love about Yoga is how during practice I can feel the movement and check the balance and strength and wellness of every little muscle in my body. Never before have I been in tune with any but my large muscles.

So funny. I consider it bonus calories on the days when we get around to that.

I absolutely do not think they would be sued for that. Take the back, they will probably be sued, people sue for everything, but they won't win. It is called reverse discrimination and it happens ALL the time legally. How many schools, scholarships, or organizations are just for women, just for minorities, etc, This is not…

One thing we are not even discussing is illness. Airlines also frequently deny flight if they feel that your illness cannot properly be treated on board, and this is more likely to happen on a transatlantic flight. We have no idea what symptoms this lady was presenting with. She could have be grossly bloated which could…

People don't die in the USA because they can't go to the Doctor. Completely untrue. They go to the Emergency Room, the hospital stops calling about the bill in a couple of months, and then they just raise their prices for other things to cover the cost of those who can't pay. Public hospitals cannot deny service in the…

Oh my, people are SO nasty on these pages. Don't listen, hold strong. Don't enable him to go out drinking if he can't be responsible enough to provide his own ID.

I need the same. I will add you : )
