  • Sometimes overeating like that will kick start your metabolism. Just eat really well and for the next 3 or 4 days and do your normal thing. If you cut too far back it will lead to a binge =( Not good...you know how your body responds so just be very careful with what you eat.
  • Alot of people think granola is a "healthy" food. HOWEVER, MOST granolas are LOADED with sugars and additives that really rack up the calories.
