Why Fiber supplements high in calories?
For years now I have taken several tablespoons of psyllium fiber several times a day. My Dr. Tells me I have one of the cleanest colons he has seen. My father, mother and brother have all had trouble with colon cancer and polyps. I have not. I attribute this to the fiber. Along with keeping your colon healthy it also keeps…

Loosing weight during the night?
I am not sure how this happens. Just out of curiosity, I weighed myself before going to bed, then again when getting up. Low and behold I will lose weight during the night. I don't understand how this can happen. Other than sometimes getting up to urinate during the night, there is nowhere for the weight to go. Anybody…

Using Samsung gear fit tracker
I've been looking at activity trackers. My son loaned me his Gear Fit by Samsung. It seems to work nicely. It has a lot of options. Has heart monitor and gps. I don't see any support for it here on mfp. Has anyone had any experience with this model or brand? J

When I use the machines, I am able to raise my heart rate higher on the elliptical than on the treadmill. Isn't that contradictory to the norm? I'm…

Eliptical = walking or running?
After considerable study and deliberation, I settled on the Samsun gear fit fitness tracker. For exercise your options for tracking are, walking, running, cycling. I use an eliptical machine because it is easier on my arthritis laden knees. Which of the options would be closest to the eliptical workout? I tried walking…

Activity tracker
I can see that other people are asking, "what is the best tracker". I too am interested in which fitness tracker would do best for me? I have read that to really track calories burned you need one that continuously monitors heart rate. I mostly exercise on an eliptical due to arthritis in knees. My understanding is the…
