I don't know where you are traveling, but in case you eat breakfast, this is where you can really make some delicious low-calorie choices. In Germany and Austria, hotel/hostel breakfast usually has loads of cold cut meats, vegetables, müsli, and yogurt, which make for a filling, high-protein, low calorie option if you…

If you haven't tried a Brooks saddle, they are a DREAM. They are made in the UK of leather. I have the Flyer model, and commute every day to work (40 min total). The springs let the whole saddle rotate on its axis to move with you. Also, after a while, it will break in and fit right to your body. I highly recommend this…

So you currently work out 5 times a week? That sounds like enough.

One thing that has helped me is to replace the phrase "I don't have time for X" with "X is not a priority for me." Then you can see what your priorities are and organize your life accordingly. It is not easy and you'll have to make hard decisions, but in the end this will help you do what's best.

Hype. It doesn't matter if he personally used them or not. Anecdotes are not evidence. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/healthyeating/11158676/The-myth-of-the-superfood.html

Here is a great tip to feel full during the day: dried apple rings! The cool thing about dried apple rings is that they are like sponges, they will soak up liquids in your digestive tract and EXPAND and actually make you feel FULLER as the day goes on!

No

Everything is brown!

There is a section of the population, along with anti-vaccine activists, detox smoothie drinkers, homeopaths, and general anti-science crowd that believe that household devices that use radio transmissions (Wifi, bluetooth, etc etc) are harmful and detrimental to human health. This, despite an overwhelming research…

Lol, YES. Watch out, there is also arsenic in tap water, rice, meat, and pears (among other things).

Okay, looks like your mind is made up. "I Am Not A Doctor" - but I would guess that the health benefits of maintaining some level of fitness during pregnancy far, far outweight the unfounded or negligible "risks" of minute Bluetooth transmissions.

The only thing you'll lose is around 1.2 lbs by taking the sauna suit off.

Not sure I would trust a general anti-science conspiracy website (emfblues.com) that will solve all your problems by selling "crystal catalyst beads" for "overall personal EMF protection" and "enhance energy" or to "Transform harmful EMFs into harmonious frequencies. / Creates a ‘stress-free’ environment for your body to…

It's totally fine. Unless you're really into conspiracy theories, you don't need to worry about these kinds of low-level transmissions. Fitbit is a bluetooth device, which according to the manufacturer, emits around 0.5% the power of a cell phone and doesn't pose pregnancy risks:…

I do a combination of bicycling (45+ minutes a day), walking, lacrosse 2*90 minutes a week), house cleaning, basic weight lifting, and dancing on the weekend. I've only got around 3 mm of arm fat, so I guess it works.

Could you please describe your workout that burns 800 calories?

Also, it might not be as bad as you think. I lived there for 5 years and biked all the time. Also, check out this map of bikeways in LA County . You're bound to live close to at least a few of those.

You know what they say... "they're more afraid of you than you are of them."

I tried spinning a few times at the gym... If you think spinning is fun, wait until you try bicycling! 1) You can go from A to B 2) You can see things 3) Feel the wind in your hair 4) For the same amount of perceived exertion, you will actually produce 25% more power! I ride around an hour a day, to and from work, to the…

I would suggest sitting in a chair, extending your arms, and waving them up and down. Do this for 20 minutes and I guarantee your heart rate will go up! I did this during an ankle injury. Great workout, easy on the back!

Doesn't matter. You can keep eating these things and drinking, as long as you log! Doesn't matter Doesn't matter Doesn't matter Great! Natural is a misnomer, also doesn't matter, see rationalwiki.org/wiki/Appeal_to_nature Drink when you're thirsty, that's all that's important. 8 glasses a day is a myth started by the water…

I'm not sure you quite understand how "science" works. There is no authoritative body that determines what the truth is. Two groups of researchers can come to different conclusions and this is still "science". This allows for further exploration. I would recommend visiting this simple explanation: UC Berkeley Science Flow…

"some doctors who approve this method" "Your logical fallacy is... appeal to authority"

If your body were a computer, you could reboot it. If it had batteries, you could recharge it. But it isn't a computer, and it doesn't have batteries, so you don't need to do either of those things.

Hi First, I think your calorie counts are way, way off. Walking 70 minutes would probably burn about half of 850, and a little weight lifting burns under 100. Second, don't use your heart rate monitor to track calorie burns for weight lifting. It doesn't work for that. Third, yes, your plus/minus calculation is…

Yes. Set it to sedentary like gia07 said, and then add in your exercise manually. You'll get much more accurate results this way.

I don't have a fitness tracker, but I always add my walking manually. Usually an hour or more a day. However, there are days I don't walk that much, or that I walk much more, so I think it's important to add it in. I am not a believer in the "normal daily activities" settings by MyFitnessPal. I think activities should be…

You could just remove the banana from the recipe, then just add the banana manually using the regular method every time you eat it.

Stuffed peppers with quinoa, couscous, rice, feta, etc.

I had a reply about anecdotes that was deleted, perhaps i was too inensitive. Many often confuse anecdotal evidence with scientific evidence. Even if someone claims that something "worked for them" it a) doesnt mean that it actually worked - it could have been something else (post hoc fallacy), b) their condition could…
