Jorge Cruise...does anyone follow his diet?
I have recently re-read his book. The first time I looked at it, I decided that it was too drastic to cut my sugar intake down to 15 grams. However, I work out religiously and I follow the calories alloted to me by this site and I have yet to loose weight, let alone the belly fat that I really want under control. I am not…

Carbs!
I usually go over on my suggested carbs. I'm not afraid of them but I do question if it is bad to always go over. I eat a lot of fruit plus the carbs that come from daily food. Should I try and ease up or will this not be too detrimental? Thank you for any help!

Exercise Calories
I was wondering if most people eat their exercise calories or not. I am aiming for a 1500 calorie day but usually earn between 300-600 calories, is it ok to eat those and still maintain my weight? Thank you!

I'm Afraid if I Don't Workout...
This is so irrational, but I'm so afraid that if I don't workout that I will gain weight. I am so used to working out for 1.5-2 hours a day and sometimes a 20-30 minute video in the evenings. So, I can basically eat whenever I want. So, when I tell myself it is time to take a day off and let my body rest, I have a hard…

Fit Bit Vs. Heart Rate Monitor
I have had a fit bit for 6 months, and I love it. However, I recently got a heart rate monitor, mostly to make sure I am in my heart rate training zone during workouts. But I have been comparing the calorie estimations and fit bit is far less than my heart rate monitor. (This morning I actually calculated the difference,…

Calories
Hi All! When I workout and enter it in my log, the calories get added to my daily allotment. Should I try and eat this new total? Or is this where the deficit should come from to lose weight? If anyone knows can you explain all this to me? Thanks! Michelle
