Dont eat back exercise calories?
My calorie goal is 1200, if i dont eat back the exercise calories, im at 900, isnt that dangerous?? I keep reading "dont eat back those calories", is that good advice or are people on higher calorie diets so that deficit still keeps them above the doctor recomended minimum of 1200?

Ear numbness
I get this numb feeling right behind the right ear after I exercise(I do 30-45 minutes of cardio 3-4 times a week). I started working out about 5 weeks ago. It has been happening for a bit now and I am wondering if it happens to anyone else? It is not accompanied by any other symptom and it doesn't really affect me, but if…

going a bit over the calorie intake?
Hey! I started counting calories again(ughhhh -__-!). Since I am tired of yoyo-ing, I am doing more "eating healthy, home-cooked, veggie based" than keeping track of calories, I haven't been counting calories for a while.

Seasonal foods

Since I am currently unemployed and on my way to becoming healthier, I started to notice how much fruits and vegetable prices change every month.

Defeating cravings
Does anyone have some ways that they use to cheat their cravings? Me, I use this to cheat my chocolate cravings: I buy dark chocolate shavings(like those in cereals) for baking. I make some hot tea and eat around 10 shavings with the tea(i don't limit myself but usually I am satisfied after around 10). Any other…

I stopped counting...
Nowadays, I just eat whatever I want during mealtimes. I stopped snacking and I stopped drinking soda. I have been dieting on and off for years(since I was a teen) and I have been yoyo-ing a lot. I usually went over 1200 calories(which was what was suggested) and that really unmotivated me so I reset my limit to 1600, but…

Changing the way I eat...
Hey everyone. I recently restarted dieting but I am very sick of doing the yoyo thing. Since I was 14, I have been on and off diets and my weight has gone up and down all through my adult life. I want to put a stop to this and do my last diet, before changing myself completely! I want to change my eating habits. I moved to…
