  • Fat weights less than muscle so as you exercise you are increasing muscle mass (which burns calories faster) and decreasing the amount of fat. So ... if you haven't gained, then you have actually lost! Keep it up and you'll see the scale start to drop soon!

  • Distract yourself for 15 minutes, brush your teeth, drink something warm like tea or chicken boullion, journal, take a walk, read a book, work on a hobby, call a friend, call a family member. According to my nutritionist that "hungry feeling" only lasts about 15 minutes and then it goes away ... Hope that helps!

  • Not sure about the percentage thing. Remember that at first you are replacing fat with muscle when you are exercising and muscle weighs more than fat so if you haven't gained then you actually have lost! Keep on, keeping on!
