advertising is the point of the show - if it were to promote healthy weight loss they would focus more on healthy eating and workout habits and losing a reasonable amount of weight each week not misleading people into thinking 2 or 3 weeks of weight loss plus dehydration is occurring in a week. They would also measure body…

I don`t think you are obsessed - some people are blessed with in built good eating habits and / or the metabolism of a freight train some of us have to be careful and if measuring and setting up our food plan in advance is what we need to do - that is what we need to do. I make foods in advance and I certainly plan my…

no all calories are created equal - try more protein and less carb ./ fat

yes . my almost zero % body fat trainer - he`s in ridiculous shape - and he`s so encouraging and his fiancee - who is the same .. but smaller :0) The are both amazing athletes - natural body builders - with true hearts of gold ... not to mention I have to weigh in front of my trainer every week so that is enough to put you…

there are calorie calculators for walking ( and running ) to give you an example 150 lbs - walking 3 - 4 mph - 1 mile - 80 cals 170 lbs - all else the same - 90 cals http://walking.about.com/library/cal/uccalc1.htm

sugar free gum !

there is no law that says you have to eat breakfast food for breakfast - if you don`t want anything solid make a fruit smoothie with protein powder - by 2pm your metabolism is well and truly shutdown - whihc is why you don`t feel hungry - not good for weight loss

Less than 1000 cals per day is not enough - you need to eat 1200 per day

as long as it is a balanced diet no harm at all - I lost 3o lbs eating the same thing every day for 3 months

walking walking stairs walking up hill

I was going to say Mandy Moore too

Sorry there is no chance that you gained 7lbs of muscle - gaining muscle is hard - really hard - and it requires serious weight training and actually minimal cardio This is actually a very good article if you want the science http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/maki2.htm but the key part is "The Colgan Institute of Nutritional…

there are plenty of ab exercises you can do that should not effect your feet - I would pick the ones where your legs are flat and your don`t hook your feet under anything You can also get cardio by doing seated rows, bench presses etc etc - just pick a very light weight and go for 40 - 50 reps. Hand bikes can also give you…

good quality running shoes may not be the RIGHT running shoes - you need to make sure your shoes support your running gait - the way your foots lands - a specialist running store ( not a random sports store ) will be able to examine the way you run and suggest the right shoes

The way to understand the importance of a rest day is to do the same workouts over 6 days and rest and then over 7 days and see how you feel on day 8 in both cases You body needs time to repair and recover - if you persist on not taking a rest day you will injure yourself eventually. I can go about 9 days before I…

Bagels but why such a high carb diet ?

I do ,, it becomes a way of life after a while - I find it helps because my body gets used to being satisfied by small amounts of food and I don't over snack - my snacks are planned meals

if you are very muscular you can be on the high side of your BMI - there is a BMI for athletes somewhere on the web -

nothing really I just cut back or changed slightly - I`m having burger and fries for dinner - the burger I made myself from 97% fat free beef , one slice of non fat cheese - no bun - and a serving ok baked sweet potato fries - around 300 cals total

Are you logging all your food ? of so you are under eating even if you don`t exercise you want to consume 1200 cals per day

not going to the ER is not to change the fact that you may have a serious injury - the sooner you seek treatment the sooner you will heal - go to the ER

60 cal lit and fit yogurts cheese sticks 50 - 60 cals each ka me rice crackers - 90 cal packs 100 calorie goldfish crackers

No one is ready to start a weight loss journey until they are ready = you can tell your husband you would like to see him be more healthy - place the same food you eat in front of him - if he chooses not to partake - leave it be

2lbs can easily be a variance in hydration levels - weight the same time of day - first thing in the am is best and use the same scale. Make sure you are drinking enough for your workouts and eating 6 times a day - if you are sticking to 1200 per day total - have a cheat meal once a week to keep your metabolism going Sorry…

protein powder shakes !

If you have concerns check with your doctor - but if your child is having fun and no one is makeing him do this I see no harm

you are going get people who will tell you net 1200 and people ( like me ) who eat 1200 Now if all you ever do is eat 1200 - your metabolism will slow down - I have 1 meal each week where I blow the diet big time -and eat REALLY eat - I monitor my workouts closely and if I feel weak I will eat more - but it`s rare I need…

I usually throw in 1/2 tomato some onion mushrooms and 2 oz of lean ham - I mix 1 whole egg with 1 egg white to keep the fat down

I normally eat a steady amount thro the day but once in a while I will hoard for dinner

I eat 1200s per day not net 1200 I have one blow out - REALLY blow out meal a week
