  • The big problem is the glycemic fluctuations that you are handing your body. When you ramp your glycemic levels up to those heights, your body tends to hold on to its fat, and your insulin levels are crazy. So while you probably won't gain weight since you are still within the bounds of your calorie intake, you probably…

  • Pick a night to have 1-3 beers. Record them in MFP like anything else. Every friday night I have exactly 3 scotches with my friends. I measure it out carefully to make sure it is 4.5 ounces total. I watch my calories closer at lunch and dinner to ensure they won't blow my diet. Still, alcohol does temporarily stop your…

  • Eat what you want to eat. Let them eat what they want to eat. The really funny one is my dad... who told me often how overweight I was, then told me to have seconds because it would make my mom happy. LOL Eat what you want or feel good about eating; don't let anybody else tell you otherwise.

It's a little expensive at Amazon ($35). It was $25 at Bed, Bath & Beyond if you have one of those nearby. It doesn't need to be anything fancy, just accurate.…

  • I kind of look at this challenge (losing the weight) like quitting smoking was for me 8 years ago. I knew that if I cheated once, it would become twice. Then I'd slide back to smoking only in the evenings after work. Then only 1/4 pack a day. Then only 1/2 pack a day. For me, the challenge with smoking and eating were the…

  • Use a scale, most definitely... even for items that say "1/2 cup" or "1 cup".... here's why.... Take cereal for example. Some cereal has big flakes. Filling a measuring cup with that cereal could be shorting you the amount you are allowed per serving. On the other hand, filling a measuring cup with say, cottage cheese,…
