  • If people were actually reading Sheldon's theory, I don't think we would even be discussing this. Its about as legit as phrenology. His theory was that your body type was associated with your personality. Ectomorphs are all artistic and introverted and inhibited. Endomorphs are even tempermented, needy in terms of…

  • Give it more time. Especially if you happen to be pms-ing. I know a 3-4 lb fluctuation right before your period is normal, but I've also heard some women say they gain as much as 6-8 pounds. But its not really a gain, in the sense that its gone a week or so later. Also, it may be helpful to only weigh yourself rarely, and…

  • You may just find that you're less hungry than you normally would be when you're not working out. Or, maybe that's just me. Hard workouts make me so hungry the next day.

  • I don't mean this critically, but I get the impression you don't know much about kids. A kid that asks to snack all the time is totally normal. Think about when you were a kid. You probably had breakfast, a snack at school, lunch at school, a snack when you can home, dinner, and probably desert or another snack in the…

  • Sorry, I'm really new here and still learning my way around. MFP recommends how much? I know Harvard says you should have a minimum of 14 grams for every 1000 calories you consume, but if you're cutting calories and are used to more fibre, that may not be a good rule of thumb. I wouldn't worry too much about an upper limit…

  • Food deserts, they call them. If I remember correctly, there are like 14 million American who live in food deserts. That's a lot of people who don't have the option of rotisserie chicken and prepared salad from their local grocery store. What they do have is taco bell and KFC and McDonalds and a gas station within walking…
    in Obesity a disease? Comment by ecdce June 2013
  • Because its totally confusing. There are two types of fiber: soluble (dissolves in water) and insoluble. Excuse me while I get a bit gross in the explanation. Soluble tends to slow things down; they absorb water and form sort of a paste. So they sit in your stomach longer, keep you feeling full longer, etc. Things like…

  • You don't really fit the selective feeding/eating disorder. It's wide sweeping, usually based on aromas or textures -- all chicken, not just your husbands grilled chicken. There are several foods you don't like, but enjoy very similar versions of -- homemade hamburgers vs fast food hamburgers. And then there are foods you…
