  • I have trained fasted and while sometimes I feel a little weak going into it I always come out feeling like a million bucks!
  • Going by weekly calories can get a little slippery since you will always thing you have time/room to balance yourself out, which you might not always succeed at doing. If you're not hungry and are having trouble getting enough calories, I recommend protein shakes. When I started the diet I'm on I would get very full…
  • Most wines have roughly 100 cal per serving (which I believe is 5oz)
  • The fruit infused water is a great tip! I also have trouble drinking enough water. It's not even that I don't like water pre se, I'm just forgetful.

Does your inhaler not help with your exercise induced asthma? I have the same thing and I'm just supposed to use my inhaler 15 minutes before…
  • Check out "Eat Stop Eat" by Brad Pilon, intermittent fasting can be good for breaking through a plateu. good luck!
  • Yeah, everyone else hit it on the head, feeling guilty about food is a bad sign. Even if it's "bad" food, letting yourself feel too guilty just leads to an unhealthy relationship with food and low self esteem. It's just bad all around. If you're eating healthy and giving your body what it needs, definitely no need to feel…
