  • Americans have been drinking diet sodas (Diet Rite and Tab) since 1958. If almost 60 years of millions of people consuming it isn't good enough to determine long term effects, then I don't know what will satisfy you.
  • Nah, just concerned about sabotaging things by not understanding how the app works. Thanks JaneiR - I'll just go back to sedentary and letting MFP track the steps.
  • I second this website. I has led me to rediscover my "love" of Natty Light. When it's cold, it tastes like nothing, but it's cheap and gets the job done. I figure there's no point in losing weight if you have to give up enjoying life, so I still drink too much on Saturdays. Probably cost me a few pounds over the months,…
  • Calories In/Calories Out is most important and is true for everyone. Things like increased cravings from sugar substitutes are going to vary by the individua, but no one gets fat from diet soda itself. Despite all of the fear mongering you see online, the sugar substitutes you see online are based in pseudo-science and…
  • Every Sunday morning, after my monring pee but before everything else. To me, first thing in the mornings are best because you have sweated out a lot of the water overnight, so it "feels" more consistent.

  • Sounds like you are depressed. I'm 33 now and it's happened to me twice - once when I was in college around 20 years old, and once early last year. You'll get through it - just keep your head up and know that you are a better person than you are demonstrating. Make one or two new friends that can be positive influences -…
  • I stick with hard candies and chocolate covered nutritional bars (typically Zone Perfect ones). The hard candies are basically pure sugar, so they fill the craving nicely with only a 60 calorie or so dosage. For chocolate, I will eat the 200 calorie Zone Perfect bars as a snack - they are filling, have a good amount of…
  • I either cut out breakfast entirely or keep it under 200cals (granola bar), but that's mostly because I start my work day at 9:30 and am at lunch by 11:30. I do end up getting hungry very late since I'm up until about 1am every day. To fill that hunger, I typically will eat a Zone Perfect bar, which is about 200 calories…
