  • I've actually hated jeans my whole life, but I still wear them. For me I just don't like the heavy fabric. Ones that are comfortable need a belt (I haaaate belts) and the ones that aren't stretchy are so heavy and hard to move in. Idk, I've found some jeans I like over the years, like the rockstar ones from old navy, and…
  • I try and track everrrrything. Food manufacturers are aloud to round down to "zero" calories on things that aren't actually calorie free. So for example splenda packets. The label says "zero" calories, but there are 4 calories a packet. 1-2 packets wont make much of a difference to your overall calorie count, but could add…
  • Mine was spot on. Haha I look in the mirror too much
  • Here is how to get a thigh gap. Take your feet and spread them wide. Tada!!! But seriously, a thigh gap has almost entirely to do with how wideset your hips are. So genetics. It is impossible for some people no matter how thin they get, so I wouldn't make that a goal. You may be able to achieve it, or you may not. However…
  • Nutritionally not much. Steel cut are the least processed, but they aren't really nutritionally superior to the old fashioned which are just rolled out.

  • Heaven knows the chemicals aren't good for you, but there is A LOT of research showing that caffeine helps with sports performance, especially in non-users. (not as effective if you have it regularly) I think everything in moderation. The occasional rockstar won't kill ya
  • There is ALOT of really interesting research on intermittent fasting. Most of it on rats.... I think as a weight loss "diet" it is a horrible idea. It would appeal to those looking for a quick fix. However the research they do have (even if there's not a ton of human research yet) does show that it increases the life span,…
  • So here is the scoop as far as I understand it. Things like the harris benedict equation etc account for your activity so if you are basing your calorie intake by one of those equations DON'T eat back exercise calories (unless you put your activity level as sedentary) because that activity is already included in the…
  • I am not doing a diet, but I try to eat clean whenever reasonable. I love eating clean. I feel so much better avoiding processed foods.
