Are you offended by what the above person said? It makes perfect sense. You can eat a 1000 calorie burger from Mcdonalds or 1000 calorie meal of chicken and steamed vegetables. Which one gives you more bang for your buck nutrients wise? Calories in vs. calories out. It IS that simple for losing weight. For being HEALTHY…

I didn't read many of the other posts but I am starting paleo-esque. Paleo is more of a mind-set and what I would consider a "low-grain" diet. You can still eat carbs (sweet potatoes, carbohydrates through fruits, etc.). What I've found is that the main thing it allowed me to do is cut out sugars which was SUPER hard for…

I'm lucky in that I loooove veggies. I hate mushrooms, black olives, and bell peppers. I really wish I liked bell peppers as a go-to snack though! Also, celery. Even in soups I can taste it and it's gross. I did figure out I love black bean burgers though. Morning star black bean burgers are an awesome thing to keep in the…

Instead of taking canned soups (which taste terrible) why don't you make your own? Soups freeze awesome too. I make several awesome, flavorful, filling soups and take them during the week. Try stuffed pepper soup, taco soup, beef and barley, or any other type you might like. I then normally bring something sweet as a…

Leighton Meester. For sure.

I posted two peer reviewed scientific articles that used HUMANS as a study and people are still arguing about rodents and if this is real. Oi.

P.S. Here are some primary source articles and peer-reviewed scientific articles for all the anger going on in this post. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0149763407000589 http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0261561409002398 http://jn.nutrition.org/content/139/3/623.short…

According to your metabolism and body type certain people crave sugars more (refined, carbohydrates, etc.) while others crave fats more (fried foods, creamy soups, cheese, etc.) The reason behind it is your body craves the food you are most able to turn into a storage of fat quickly. This was a way for humans to survive…

Go to Roadrunnersports.com and take the quiz there. You put in your arch type, running terrain, miles you run, etc. and it tells you the best type of shoes to get.

A calorie is a calorie no matter the time of day. One of the reasons people suggest you eat higher calorie foods earlier in the day is that you are more likely to burn them off throughout the day by walking, working, etc.

I love black tea in the morning to replace my coffee. Especially spiced chai. It has flavor and isn't bitter so I don't really miss the sweetness of sugar because it is already so flavorful. I usually drink tea when I feel like my caffeine intake has been getting too high. I've found I'm more energetic throughout the day…

My ideal size is a size 4 dress. Then again I've been around a size 6 since forever and don't want to buy a whole new wardrobe so probably a small size 6. I'm currently probably a true size 8 dress. Just need to get down about 15 pounds!

I have an insatiable sweet tooth and am extreme boredom eater. If my mind isn't being stimulated in some way I grab something to munch on. Also, I think I have a sensory thing where I need sensory stimulation and eating crunchy foods helps with that.

As far as sleep goes, everybody is different. Dealing and teaching students all day I need to be fully energized. If I don't get enough sleep I'm hazy and grumpy which doesn't bode well with students and teaching, so yes, I do choose sleep over "being successful" if that is how you all would like to put it.

Joined in college, just learned how to change my gender, and am restarting because I fell off the bandwagon!

My specific goals are to become more toned, physically faster, and lose probably about 20 pounds. I'm more concerned with inches so actually a concrete goal would be to lose about 3-5 inches off of my both my bust and waist.

Lactaid helps a little bit when I want to have the occasional ice cream cone but for everyday things (like if I were to have a yogurt every day) I still get queasy. I'd actually say it's more of a sensitivity because I can have things like cheese about once a month. When I go several days in a row eating lactose it when…

I know I could wake up and work out but then it cuts into my sleep time. Right now I aim for a healthy 7-8 hours I really don't want to part with. *sigh* I suppose I will have to find another way. Maybe run with the kids I coach.
