Tips for losing weight
This is just my opinion based on a little research and personal experience. 1. Keep track of the food you eat. Sounds easy but most people underestimate their calories by 50%. 2. Don't skip meals. The reason for this is simple, when you skip a meal you are hungrier longer. This will trigger something in your brain that…

Protien
Hi, I saw online where they did an experiment with mice and then people. They gave people a lot of options with food and different amounts of protein.

Biggest Loser
Hi, Why don't people give them credit when they lose the weight. They worked their butts off and eat very little. They also workout through pain injury and insult. They get tempted just like the rest of us. I don't get it?

When Does Over Eating Become a Binge?
Hi, For me over-eating becomes a binge when I satisfy my hunger but something possesses me to keep going.

It also took me about 5 days of extra…

This is not a rant, just a question
I understand that there will be plateaus during weight loss. What I don't understand is how there are so many women who haven't lost weight in months. It seems strange to me. I read they are on a disciplined weight loss regimen and they exercise alot. Can anyone explain? I do have plataeus but they pass within a week. It…
