  • Whenever I feel like not working out I ask myself if I would skip a shower because I didn't have time, or not brush my teeth, or not eat...Working out is just as necessary to taking care of yourself as all of those things for me, so sometimes readjusting your perspective on whether or not it's required can be really…

  • Do you weigh or measure your food? It seems like a silly little difference, but for some people it can make a HUGE difference! Maybe give that a shot and see what happens!

  • Honestly, it depends on the person. I had to stop doing Insanity because I could no longer sleep! I would raise my cortisol levels (stress hormones) to the point where my body would not wind down at night. Some people call it "chronic cardio" and while some can do it with little to no issues, others can't. Being part of…

  • Please, eat more! It seems so counter productive, but you need to eat more. Your body will only function on strange/abnormal eating patterns for about 4 weeks, and then it will flatline into protective mode. If you eat the same thing every day in addition to eating such a low amount, you are starving your body of…

  • This is EXACTLY what my issue was too. Since you already track your food, start tracking your headaches too! See if when you eat certain things you always have headaches. You don't even necessarily need the blood tests, I did it "manually" via tracking! Good luck!

  • When you eat complex carbohydrates (aka bread) you spike your insulin levels for about an hour after eating it, and then crash. Your body is designed to want to keep its insulin levels consistent, so you get hungry, usually for breads/sugars and the like. This is totally what happened with me when I ate bread for breakfast…

  • Living in a place where you don't control what is sitting on the counters/in the fridge and pantry REALLY sucks. Maybe make yourself a snack bin that you keep in your room with pre-portioned snacks, some that are healthy and some that are delicious but perhaps not as nutritious? Then when you feel the urge to go on a snack…

  • My step mother is the same way, and it can be really hard having someone buy your favorite junk foods when you are at home, or having them encourage you not to exercise. From my experience it can be jealousy, as she like your mom is not very healthy. I have found that inviting her to join me when I exercise or cook can be…

  • Just like one good day won't make you thin, one bad day simply WILL NOT make you bigger, or set you back. It is all about habits over time, and lifestyle choices. As long as you are not eating like this consistently, don't worry about it! You might feel bloated and icky afterward, but just remember that the next time you…
