It's... soap. "Detoxify" is the wrong word. It would clean your skin. In the same way that it whitens your teeth it would also clean your skin and hair.

I do eat all day long :D Edit: Okay, that wasn't very helpful. Eat more often. Eat all day. Just try it for a few days, your metabolism will get used to eating every 2-3 hours if that's what you give it.

Yeah, definitely stay away from weight loss tablets. I actually just went and looked at your food log and deleted all my healthy eating advice. It looks like you're doing really well. Are you drinking enough water? It seems like you don't log it, so maybe if you started to you'd be more aware of it. My best advice is to…

If you're 5'8" you should probably be eating more. Find out your BMR (you can find calculators anywhere) and never eat below that - this is the basic, lowest amount of calories your body needs to run your organs. I'm 5'4" and 135 and my BMR is about 1400 calories, so yours is probably higher. Try not to panic though, if…

This is a great thing to put in a bath. It detoxifies impurities in your skin and may help immune function, or it could help you lose water weight. Personally, I just really liked floating in it - it was very soothing. It will dehydrate you though, so drink lots of water. Somehow I just don't think downing a glass of salt…

You should eat. You should also find someone to talk to before this gets worse. You still want to eat. You can still save yourself from something horrible. You need to eat, otherwise your exercise WILL go to waste! Your body needs food in order to do those things. It needs food to recover, and that's where all the goodness…

Rest definitely, but you should try to walk around if you're feeling up to it. I find it helps me feel better when I'm sick to at least get off my *kitten* (otherwise I could actually stay in a 10 square foot room all day.) I like to drink juice when I'm sick too - juice and soup. It helps you get more liquids in you,…

hemp? yes please :smokin: heheheh no but really, i bought some chocolate hemp protein powder a while ago. it made great hemp protein brownies, but in drinks the texture was sort of awful.

If I didn't eat after 9pm I would only get through half of my daily calories. Not even. o_O Haha what are rules, if I want to eat a snack in bed before turning off the lights, I do it.

10 days is a short amount of time and remember no quick weight loss is permanent weight loss. Start by upping your water and potassium and cutting out all high-sodium products. CHECK LABELS. You will be surprised. This will get rid of any bloat you're carrying, if you're still carrying it. Avoid strength training (I hate…

Hey, our stats are pretty similar! I'm maintaining at about your current weight on 1800 net a day and I know my BMR is ~1400, so try to eat between those two numbers. I also sent you a friend request if you don't mind (:

If cleaner is your goal, I always advocate raw honey. Yes, it is still sugary, but it's natural and has a host of other health benefits. (Raw, organic honey is sometimes considered a superfood.) Plus it gives coffee a really nice flavor.

Greek yogurt. Protein shakes. Eggs. Turkey bacon. Look for recipes for protein pancakes and waffles too. They usually use protein powder in place of some or all of the flour and they're not too bad in my experience.

Cinnamon is delicious!! Why would you take it in pill form? I don't know what its exact health benefits are, but I know spices like that are good for you and the added flavor to your food helps you feel satisfied. I keep cinnamon and allspice around for everything from chicken to coffee to face masks and baths! But be…

I'll be 20 in May, but I'm in college and I need fit pals!

Oh I LOVE baths! There are so many different things to do with baths! I take this one bath sometimes with epsom or sea salt and baking soda, and I just float in it. It's supposed to be a detox but remember, bathing in salty water will dehydrate you so bring a nice big glass of water or tea in there with you. And don't stay…

You won't bulk up at a calorie deficit, so don't be afraid to hit those weights! I understand some of us (including me) are muscularly built, but working out your legs will not make them look worse - I promise. Right after a workout your muscles may swell, but don't panic, it's temporary!

Cut out dairy. Cut out anything your body doesn't react well to, but eat more of the (healthy) things you can eat - try to snack on nuts and eat more meat. Don't be afraid of dietary fat. And when you do strength training, which you should focus on, work out your back as well as your abs. It'll make fixing your posture…

Boost your potassium! I'm not /sure/ of the science behind it, but it has always worked for me. Have a banana and some sweet potatoes and you'll start to feel better. :)

The best thing I've done for my emotional binging is to remove myself from the area with food and work on something unrelated like working out. I know people say this and you're thinking "that's the opposite of what I want." You kind of have to cut it off before it starts. Take the advice of the others until you can really…

I'm with greyoutside. Mustard. a) I love mustard b) It has no (or few) calories c) I feel like if savory fries go with sweet ketchup, sweet fries go with savory mustard. Right?

Take pictures! you're probably not seeing results because you see yourself every day. Take pictures and measurements and prove to yourself that your body is changing. If you can get your body fat % measured, that's a good reminder that muscle mass is a good thing too :)

That's really cool! I don't like to put my money where my mouth is haha, but I use Fitocracy to motivate myself. Every day I log my workout and gain points and level up just like a video game gaining experience. There are also "quests" for point bonuses to get you pushing yourself and trying new things. And we can duel…

That's a very good question. Though my boyfriend and I are very supportive of each other's fitness and health, I could see this happening with other positive things if one of us didn't want to do it. Like if we actually lived together and I decided to go vegetarian, I think he would be remarkably unsupportive. I could see…

Not losing weight, but getting fit: Because when the revolution happens, I want to beat up some secret police or whoever (: Or run if I have to aha.

Light beer and zero-calorie mixers. Or juice, juice is okay. I try to make most of my drinks with diet soda so it's only the alcohol that costs me calories. Bud Light Platinum is really calorie-effective for its strength. It's 137 calories and 6% alcohol (as opposed to regular Bud Light which is 110 calories but only 4.2%…

Some gyms actually have rules about how long you can spend on one machine. That gym might intentionally place an hour-long limit on the amount of time you can run. But I suppose you can keep starting again to keep running and no one will know the difference ;)

My mental health is my reason. I'm 19. I've been depressed since I was about 12 and anxious for the past 2 years. It messed up my relationship with food a few times - in both ways. I'm finally getting that if I eat healthy foods and get my sweat on, I feel better. I'm more confident, more productive, have more energy and…

I've done a lot of this. I was a very picky eater because my older sister always was. She's famous for telling people she's allergic to nuts just so they won't bother her about eating something with them. My family's meals were definitely just meat and potatoes - very rarely vegetables, usually corn. My mom yelled at my…

That's great! I'm so proud of you. Food is amazing - it makes us feel many good things, but the best thing is when you eat clean and fuel your body and you start to realize it feels even BETTER than indulging your emotions with unhealthy food :)
