  • Short term. Especially by the day there are quite a few things that can affect your weight. You get constipated for a few days you would see your weight go up. Then you get unconstipated (Is that a word) and suddenly your weight will drop. However, long term is truly calories in calories out. But do not forget all the…
  • High bulk low calorie foods. I would go after cauliflower or broccoli. (Because I like those.) There was a book I read that had a scale of of how many pounds of that food it took to get to 2500 calories. When I am hungry but not really craving anything specific, or I am at the end of my calories. I focus on foods in are in…
  • There is no failure, just a chance to get back up again. Find fruits and veggies I like and eat them as much as I can
  • Everybody states that good health has two sections. Diet and exercise. (I think there are three. Your mental state.) Make things simpler. Log what you eat and make some attempt to keep under the calorie goal, but more importantly try this: Diet. Find a bunch of vegetables and fruit you like and eat them all you want and…
  • Not the best advice, but if you are feeling better overall, I would go for your fast food binge. As matter of fact do it worse. Get a pizza and a burger and your soda and everything to go for it. Then remember how you feel the next morning. Likely you will feel like crap and it can remotivate you.
  • My wife does most of the shopping, so I can't give details, but I can give guidelines. (She feed the two of us for about $40 US a week.) the best guideline I can give to stay out of the middle of the store as much as possible. Here in the US all the processed foods are in the middle, while fruits and veggies and meat tend…
  • This is going to sound trite. Portion Control. I think you should look more at your motivations beyond just I love to eat. Why do you love to eat? Is it for comfort? Is it because you are bored? I would have never believed that I ate because I was bored until one day after I started watching my food intake, I didn't have…
  • Then don't. Save for a reward for a good day. Tell yourself through the whole day, if I do good on everything I will have a bit of chocolate tonight. Then totally enjoy it. Savor every bite. Take as small of a bite as possible to make it last. Love it. That's how I handle everything on my diet. When I get something good I…
  • I have been told that if you are holding to a good diet and then one day you binge your body cannot handle those extra calories and will flush them out. It's only if you continue to hold to blowing your diet that it becomes a problem. You are fine. Get back on the horse tomorrow and things will be fine.
