Quick and easy concern/rant....
If you go to a local shoe store to get the free gait analysis and get assistance getting fitted for the "right" shoes for you please, at least, have the decency to by SOMETHING from the store. This equipment is NOT free, the people that work at these stores are not volunteers. I see many, and a growing number, of people…

My dog lost 1.5lbs! She can't speak so I have to say it for
HA! I know this probably doesn't go here, but our dog weighed 77.4lbs at the vet a few weeks ago. Since then I've been doing the couch to 5k with her (I'm already a runner, but I'm doing the full program with her to get her in better shape). Anyway, we are midway through week 3. Had to go to the vet this morning to get…

All in moderation? Not if I can help it.
I see people write all the time "All in moderation". Personally there are things that, if at all in my power, I will not eat. The highest on the list being anything partially hydrogenated, then to a lesser extent High Fructose Corn Syrup. What will not eat if possible, not even in moderation?

Do you stick to your same type of "diet" forever?
I was reading some today and I found this, it makes complete sense to me, but I don't see it talked about much. "You see, even if you think you've found the perfect diet, it won’t always be perfectly perfect. Making adjustments based on your ever-changing needs -- especially as you get older and wiser -- is normal. I like…

Diet plans for sale...have you ever noticed
they all say to use whatever "magic bullet" they're trying to sell should be used in conjunction with a sensible diet and exercise? Maybe save your money, and just give the "sensible diet and exercise" a try first and skip the snake oil.

Dear Dr. Oz...
You CANNOT target fat loss to a specific spot on your body. Your "flat belly" dessert will not, in fact, make your belly flat. The greek yogurt cake may be a better option than normal cake, but by no means will eating that cake make your belly flat. Please stop saying that it will. That is all.

Fat Free stuff....
Just want to post a reminder that if you go for fat free anything you are swapping the fat for sugar. The replace the flavor lost with no fat by adding sugar. Some tend to forget the trade off of choosing fat free items.

MIO, it's not just for water...
This is kind of a silly post, but it's got to do with my cereal so I put it here. I had some Kellogs bran buds with a 50/50 mix of skim and unsweetened vanilla almond milk... I didn't have anything to kick up the flavor and after some searching found a bottle of Black Cherry MIO.. I quick squirt later it was wonderfully…

Kids allowance...
For those of you that give your kids an allowance... How do you determine the appropriate amount? We have a 4yr old and an 8yr old that decided they want to try to earn some cash.... I'm not opposed to this, even if it's for stuff they should be doing aroudn the house anyway.... The bigger picture here is money…

Sodium/water ratio?
I routinely consume an average of 4300mg sodium. Is there a certain water/fluid intake goal I should strive for with that amount of sodium aside from the recommended 8cups x 8oz?

advertisments
I understand this site relies on ads to remain free to us, but that sears ad that keeps covering my screen is going to cause me to break my computer. end rant

Macros by meal or by day?
Do you try to follow your macros at each meal, or do you just try to get them close by the last meal of the day? I'm a "by day" person at the moment. Not for any particular reason, just how it turns out.

Sodium... UGH!
Not much else to say. I gotta cut it down. I'm routinely at 4500 a day. I "thought" I was doing better than that with sodium, but the diary doesn't lie. No response necessary. I just felt like I had to vent it a little.

I love the "hot button topics" on web forums.
I've not been on this forum that long, but I can already see "Should exercise calories be eaten back" is one of those topics that will get any thread twisted into a tailspin. I belong to both an automotive forum and a motorcycle forum... Want to get those guys riled up? Ask them "What's the best motor oil" or "Should I use…
