Why can't I eat enough?
So I'm finally at, and below, my goal weight. When my scale finally ticked under 175 I was thrilled. But I knew the real work was starting because now I had to maintain this weight.

I'm gaining weight and I have no idea why!
So until about a week ago my weight loss had been going amazing! I was literally stripping weight and feeling amazing. I kept myself on a lowish calorie diet (about 1500 a day which keeps me at a 1000 deficit) and I was lightly exercising daily with 2 good hard workouts a week. I went from to 232 to 193 in a pretty short…

Paleo Diet
Hi everyone, Unknown to me until recently, I have been following a diet very simmilar to the Paleo Diet. I have begun reading its actual tenets and would only need to make some minor changes to completely follow it. For instance I will have to drop the processed carbs and replace them with fruit or other natural carb…
