This might be nonsense for some, but I find either chewing a piece of gum or brushing my teeth to work wonders on curving my cravings. If not, I'll do a few minutes of jumping jacks/jogging in place, or even push-ups, to remind me of how good it feels to just... Be active and resist temptation! I'm sure you'll be fine. You…

This might be a good thing to get off my chest. Hm. I was drinking Strawberry-Coconut Daiquiris, had around five of them, so that alone was bad enough... But whenever I drink, all the food, -ever-, just sounds super amazing. So I had some mini candy bars (2 Baby Ruths, 1 Kit Kat, 2 Butterfingers, and 2 bite-sized Crunch),…

Ohh, interesting. Mind explaining this to me? I generally eat mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts), but peanuts -are- in there. Honestly, whenever I said "peanuts," I meant mixed nuts, not just peanuts alone.

I'm going to second the protein powder recommendation. If not that, then try peanuts? I'm not sure how lean meat push you into the fat category. Boneless, skinless chicken breast has hardly any fat, and zero carbs.

My cheat days are very rare, although I just had two almost back to back. My cheat days usually consist of drinking mixed drinks, so... yeah. I feel like it's okay, since I'm a horrible (but healthy) eater and usually only consume 750 calories a day. Whenever I drink, I get like 1,200 or just a tiny bit above my actual…

I've heard it's only bad becomes your body, apparently, becomes used to these foods and the set amount of calories, and therefor doesn't "work as hard" as it should. However, I've been eating the same handful of foods for a year and a half now and a lot of weight has fallen off of me (I went from 135 down to 97 pounds). I…

Oh, wow. Amazing! Huge difference. Good job.

Look at the nutritional facts on what you eat. Add it up manually. Pretty simple.

This is not exactly correct. Yes, burning more calories than you intake leads to weight loss, however your body still needs a certain amount of calories per day to perform. Dropping below this set amount of calories can ruin your metabolism, as well as lead you into starvation mode. This is where your body takes from your…

My calorie intake is set to 1,200 personally. However, my usual breakfast is granola cereal with soy milk that comes out to around 345~ calories. I don't believe there is any set calories to intake for breakfast, so long as it's healthy and a meal. I'd say you're doing fine sticking to under 500, this way you don't overdo…

I definitely count my calories. It's very informative and helps me control the portions of what I eat throughout the day.

I may be bias, as I'm always under my goal... However, if I'm hungry, I snack on something very small (like grapes!) and find that it curves my hunger quite quickly. So no matter, I would snack on something healthy, and not a whole lot of it. As that sick hunger feeling is a pain in the butt. :( So, for me it's either: A…

I have the same problem and was wondering if that was a bad thing. Glad to hear that it's alright, as long as it's from fruit (which it is)!
