Why is losing weight too fast a bad thing?
Just like the title says, my question is, why is losing weight too fast a bad thing? Obviously, I do not mean eating a dangerously low amount of calories - I know why that's unhealthy. But let's say someone is really active. They're eating 1800 calories a day but still losing 3lbs a week. They're eating a decent amount of…

What's your sign?
I'm a HUGE believer in astrology. Anyone else out there find it fascinating? I hope to publish a book about it someday. What's your sign? :) I study Sun signs as well as Moon, Venus, and Rising for those who know what I am talking about!

How many more calories should I eat on days I’m more active?
Some days at my job I’m sitting at a desk all day, and other days I’m on my feet walking. I’ve worn a step tracker and I generally take about 3000 steps a day when I’m at my desk and 14000 the days I’m not. My calorie level is set to 1450 and I have my fitness level set to sedentary. My question is should I be eating more…

How many steps in a mile?
My step tracker is telling me there are 2670 steps in one mile for me. Everywhere I research says 1700-2200....doesn’t 2670 sound high for a mile, even for someone short?

Problems logging - weighing vs measuring
I have read the posts and know the importance of weighing food vs measuring. I always weigh my food, but the problem is that 99% of the entrees in the food database are not in grams or ounces, but measured in cups/half cups. I always look for items only to be disappointed....for example, tonight I had 164g of boxed mac and…

Hangovers and Dieting
Just wanted to take a minute to state how much I hate being hungover, especially when on a diet. Lets just say last night I had a liquid dinner, and i'm paying for it today (ouch). I'd love nothing more than to grab a nice greasy breakfast and huge class of chocolate milk to take this pain away :D

Diets for managing Diabetes/Sugar levels
Hello all, While I have been tested and my glucose levels came back normal (91 fasting), I can't help but feel like I am diabetic, or at least in the pre stages. Whenever I eat certain foods I feel very dizzy and tired. I often have blurred vision after consuming specific things. My doctor says I do not have any issues at…

Ladies, would you date a guy who dislikes gay people?
So my question is this. My closest friend is a gay male. My brother is also gay and has a wonderful fiancé who I absolutely adore. We hang out often and usually do things together as a group. The guy ive been seeing says he doesn't approve of a gay lifestyle and doesn't even want to be in the same room with them because of…

High end/ Designer tie brands for men
Hey guys! I have a birthday coming up and he always buys me really great gifts. I know lately he has been into ties and things. But I don't know what brands are good. Should I stick with an Armani, or are there more well known brands out there? I want something high end, but nothing too crazy (I'm not a millionaire).…

Why am I so awkward around people I have feelings for?
I don't get it. I have no problem with public speaking, meeting friends, or talking to people in general. Everyone I meet says I come off as friendly, nice, and interesting. I even run a podcast talk show in my free time. But as soon as I develop feelings for someone I get really nervous around them. I never know what to…

How do you take your coffee?
I love my coffee light and sweet...unfortunately that's not good for the calories. I just realized that my daily 20oz coffee is 240 calories a day! that's a small meal, or at the very least, a good snack! I usually use 4 sugar packets, 4 splenda packets, and 3/4 a cup of half and half! Yikes....any suggestions on how I can…

Who should text first after a hookup?
Just out of curiosity... Does it matter if the guy texts first or the girl? Does it mean the girl isn't interested if she doesn't text first, or vice versa?

What is your favorite type of cereal?
I am craving cereal so bad today! Here's a list of my favorites: 1. Lucky Charms 2. Reese's Puffs 3. Rice Krispies I want them all!! With ice cold milk. Obviously they're all packed with sugar. I guess multi-grain cheerios will have to do!

Refined Sugar and Carbs...what are they exactly?
So I watched this documentary on Netflix about a month ago and it really got me thinking. The documentary was all about how addicting refined sugar and carbs are. I wanted to kind of see if this was true. So for two days in a row, I started my day with a breakfast within my calorie range that was high in refined sugar and…

Cutting Calories? Low Carb? Clean eating?
Hey guys, This has probably been covered already and asked before but I just wanted to get a few quick opinions on what you believe/ have experienced. In your opinion, when following a calorie restricted diet (say 1200-1400 a day) and working out, did you feel it mattered if you ate low carb? Do you think regardless of…

How long did it take you to fully get over your first heartbreak?
I got my heart broken three years ago, and I still am not over it. He made me so happy, and I have never met anyone I thought was more perfect for me. I still cry regularly about it, and although I've dated others, no one can compare. At this point, do you think it is worth even dating? Do you think that although I think…

Ahhhhhh! How many calories are in this popcorn!!
I have never understood how many calories are in popcorn or how to log it. The box says there are 35 calories in one cup, popped. But there are 150 calories in two tbsps unpopped, and three servings per bag. Why in the world is this so confusing. All I want to know is, if I pop this bag of popcorn, and eat half the bag,…
