Can you order both and return the one that doesn't fit?

Don't try it - you're effectively starving yourself.

Mix it up - do a different type of workout. Your body has probably adjusted to the routine. Try doing more weight and fewer reps, and reorder the circuit. With the new weight do as many reps until you lose "perfect form" this determines the amount of weight for desired number of reps. Shoot for a weight that only allows…

Nope, you should "indulge" every once in awhile - just no overindulge. Keeps one sane and happy.

I have testy knees from past injuries. I've found that strengthening the muscles around the knees helps to support them better. Stability exercise and balancing on the bocu ball help with this a lot. During PT, they had me put a band around my ankles and do lunges, high knee kicks, side steps, etc with the resistance to…

If you mix the yogurt and strawberries together the night before, you won't have to add stevia. The strawberries will sweeten it naturally.

On the go I like a whole grain english muffin with ~1/2 T cream cheese and a slice of turkey ham. Then I'll have an apple later. You could try adding some cinnamon and zucchini when you're cooking your oatmeal - tastes like zucchini bread. Plain yogurt with fruit.

I had the same problem when I was in school full time and working. There wasn't a lot of time between classes, working and studying. My saving grace was that I walked about 1.5 miles to school everyday (even in the winter), took me about 30 minutes to walk - so that's an hour of activity. It was my daily "workout" - I…

I made the 2011 Cooking light recipe and was very happy with it.

According to the Lundberg product website: White long grain jasmine rice 1/4c dry has 36g carbs (1g Fiber), http://www.lundberg.com/products/rice/Organic_California_White_Jasmine_Rice.aspx and the long grain brown rice, 1/4c dry has 35g Carbs (3g fiber)…

Try eating more low calorie meals throughout the day. Every 2-3 hours have a 200-300 calorie "snack". Also, make sure your meals have lots of nutrients, if you're eating something that's mostly fat and carbs, your body will go into "craving" mode because it wants (and needs) more nutrients. You could also try adding a few…

You get it if your net intake (food+exercise) is less than your daily calorie goal.

You're not getting enough fiber.

Learn to love it - its what you have.

You just want to make sure you have enough fuel to fuel your workout. If you're feeling sluggish or light headed during a workout, you haven't had enough to eat. You'll get more out of your workout and probably burn more calories and be more efficient if your body has some fuel. The recommended number of calories are those…

The difference between sugar in fruit and refined table sugars, is that you're giving your body much needed NUTRIENTS when you eat the fruit as opposed to table sugar, which contains nothing but sugar. Fruit also has a lot of fiber, which helps clean out the digestive system - which is a good thing, and as already…

You could be gaining muscle - which means more weight gain. Try measuring around your midsection, thighs, arms, etc. If you're getting smaller in these areas, your still "losing" weight - aka fat. Also, if you've had a lot of sodium in your diet lately, you could be retaining water which would also make you see a weight…

Homemade fruit smoothies - frozen fruit/vegetables add yogurt or whey protein powder to get some protein. Also, meal replacement shakes like slim fast contain a LOT of nutrients and can help supplement. They aren't as good as the real thing, but they still will help. Also, since you're not able to eat real food yet, you're…

I get light headed and nautious while working out if my blood sugar is low.

If you compare 1/2 c. greek yogurt, with 1/2 c of regular yogurt, there is more protein, calories, fat etc. in the greek yogurt. I personally like plain, non-fat yogurt and I add frozen blueberries. But when I compared my roommates greek yogurt per serving values to mine, the nutritional content was the same. The serving…

Add some exercise and weight training - adding more muscle will help burn more calories/fat. But, even a 15-20 minute brisk walk after lunch will help to burn some extra calories and boost your metabolism. It could be that the assumption of the calories you burn per day is a little too high? These are just thoughts not…
