  • Yes, Diet Coke can spike your insulin and glucose because of the caffeine. http://diabetes.webmd.com/news/20040726/caffeine-hamper-blood-sugar-control As long as you're having a no-caffeine diet soda though, you should be ok as far as blood sugar goes.
  • I don't think that they should add up to 100%. Fat and muscle both contain water so part of the fat and muscle weight is also water weight. There are also things in your body besides muscles, fat and water. Thus, if the fat, muscle and water percentages add up to 100%, that is just a coincidence. If muscle percentage +…
  • It looks like you're doing well based upon your ticker. I would only change things if you're stalling.
  • If you're still losing weight following what MFP shows, don't worry about it. If you aren't losing weight, then you might want to think about adjusting stuff. For example, only eating back half of the exercise calories instead of all of them.
  • Jack-in-the-Box and Chick-fil-A both have grilled chicken strips or nuggets. Much less calories than the fried ones leaving you with enough calories to have the sauce also.
  • First thing is to put what has happened in the past behind you. Just because you gained pounds in the past few weeks doesn't mean that you can't lose today. It's always a good day to lose weight. :-) For me, so far, I've been trying to do something else when I'm craving that comfort food. I really try to exercise;…
  • As a guy, I would say your stomach looks good. I would also point out that most guys are much more into what's above and below the stomach than the stomach area itself. :-)
  • Just to be clear: surgery is not the easy way out. It is very difficult; however, for many people it is the only way to take the weight off AND keep it off. Losing the weight isn't necessarily the hardest part. Keeping it off for years and years is the most difficult part. I would bet that most people here have lost some…
  • I generally see a two day lag. That is, if I have a really good day or a really bad day, it isn't the next morning I see it on the scale, it is the morning after that. However, as others have said, sometimes you gain a lot or lose a lot from one day to another for no apparent reason. Weight during the day is all over the…
  • Southwestern Eggbeaters & Center-Cut Bacon wrapped in a tortilla with a delicious salsa or hot sauce. If you do 1/4 cup of Eggbeaters (1 egg equivalent), one slice of the bacon and a 100-calorie flour tortilla, it is just 160 calories + whatever your salsa is (usually a very small amount). I normally mix some chili powder,…
  • As long as you do it at the same time of day each time you do your weigh in, you are good. You might want to weigh in less often than every week. If you do it every 3 weeks, you will feel like you've made more progress each time you weigh in.
