Noom - For binge eaters
I joined Noom in an attempt to finally break free of my binge eating disorder. I’m introverted and the thought of actually going to a therapist has always wigged me out. However, I’ve always known I’ll never defeat binge eating for good on my own. Has anyone with a binge eating disorder tried Noom and actually broken free…

Eating Disorder/Self-Sabotage
Ladies I’m having a problem and I’m hoping some of you have been here and can lend some advice. I have been an overeater my whole life but I didn’t start binge eating until I was about 28 years old. This was when my daughter’s dad and I parted ways and I moved into an apartment with my daughter. When he would come pick her…

Low Carb Diet and Fiber
I wasn't too keen on the idea of tracking net carbs. I couldn't understand how it's possible to eat a tortilla and a wrap on the same day and still be eating a low carb diet! My tortillas have 3g net carbs and my wraps have 4g net carbs. What I wanted to do is track total carbs and only get my carbs from vegetables and…

Weighing/Measuring My Green Beans
So everything says that a food scale is the way to go over using a measuring cup. Here's the thing that's been frustrating me to no end so I thought I'd ask you guys. My canned greans beans state a serving size is 1/2 cup (120g) ... well 120g comes out to be WAY more than 1/2 cup! So which is correct??

Question! Calories burned by lifting...
So we all know lifting weights doesn't burn a ton of calories while you're lifting but keeps you burning calories long after you're done in the gym. My question is, my Fitbit doesn't have a way to track these extra calories burned, does it? For example: according to my Fitbit on a day I lift then do HIIT for 20 mins I…

Yogi question - What do cramps mean?
When I am doing certain poses I get killer cramps. For example: when I'm doing warrior but then my back knee comes down to the mat and I pick up my back foot to bring toward my hamstring. I get a huge cramp in my hamstring when I attempt to bring up my foot. Is my sodium level too low or is this a different problem? Am I…

Green Tea - Matcha
I wanted to buy some matcha tea at the store. All I could find at Kroger was Celestial Seasonings Green Tea Matcha. Is this the same thing as just matcha tea? http://www.celestialseasonings.com/products/green/matcha-green-tea

Timing of Supplements
I am currently taking several supplements. Krill oil, magnesium, calcium + vitamin D, collagen, and a nighttime probiotic. I also use a green superfood powder to add to my protein shakes. I just always wonder, does it matter when I take the supplements? Does my body know how to separate them inside and make sure they do…

Protein Supplements - Kids
I've let my 11 year-old daughter taste my protein and she likes it. Frequently she watches me when I am drinking my protein. She has this look on her face like she's jealous and wishes she could have some too. ;) Is it bad to let kids drink our protein? My post-workout one is plant-based so I bet it's ok. But what about…

Is sodium -that- important?
I've not really paid attention to that column but am wondering if anything would change with me, physically, if I make sure to get 2,300mg each day? I don't do a lot of cardio, mostly weights. Leg day is the only day I sweat a lot. I think if I don't add extra salt to my diet I'm usually between 1,000-1,500mg each day. How…

Tips to not gain fat after surgery?
Long story short I am going to have back surgery in a few weeks. The timing, which I know is my choice, isn't the best. I am in the middle of transforming my body. I've been seeing changes and I like what I see! The Dr. says I will need to take it easy for 4-6 weeks and won't be healed from the surgery for 3-6 months. The…

Too few calories is bad... But how few??
So everything we read says we need to "eat to lose"... also if we don't eat enough calories it can be detrimental to your progress, goals and health. I just get so confused because here on MFP when you complete your day about 200-300 calories less the app praises you and tells you you'll lose 5 lbs in 5 weeks! Other days…
