Ramadan - How to do your best
Hello, So Ramadan starts next week! (Yay!) I wanted to ask those who fast, how they are able to maintain weight/at least not destroy the progress they've made. I do cook at home, but advice on what types of foods help your body maintain energy and what types of workouts you do would be nice! My little brother suggested…

Level of Natural Sugar Allowed a Day
I like to add fruits and veggies in my diet, especially because I don't really like breads and pastas. (It keeps me full.) But today the sugar I ate came from a half of a large pear, a handful of blueberries and a small fig. There was also a couple of grams in the cottage cheese I ate. So my total came to 45 g of sugar and…

Emotional Eating -- Is mine normal?
Hello, I have a problem with emotional eating. I consider myself a relatively happy person, but I've had somewhat of a dark past and consequently don't exactly know how to deal with what upsets me sometimes. I noticed that when I get upset I can binge pretty bad, once when an ex hurt me (long story but it was really mean),…

On the go foods...for your car
Hello, I find a lot of the time my diet is screwed over when I'm stuck somewhere for a while with friends or work and either cannot bring a meal or don't have the ability to eat at all until I'm in my car hours later. Usually this is when I crack and get drive-thru food or worse restaurant food. Even if my friends insist…

What do you guys/girls do when you hit an emotional slump? Whether something negative comes into your life in family, love, maybe you slacked and have to pick yourself back up after a binge--I find myself a bit discouraged or rather unmotivated with myself.

Smoked Fish - Namely Salmon and Trout
Is this bad for you? I eat it as a tasty snack and love it, but my coworker said it wasn't good for me. :neutral: I thought it was a good option for a snack as it was fish and I eat it with a little goat cheese on toast (although I'm cutting out the toast shortly and will find something else to eat with it.) Any advice…

Morning Motivation
Hey guys!!! With my schedule the best time to go to the gym is 5:30 in the morning. I find getting up early isn't the issue, but rather being unmotivated to even get out of bed. I know, I sound just lazy and that's pretty much it. I have some sad things I deal with and it seems they all creep up and linger right at this…

Knee Pain-Strain
Hey friends: I'm asking as I have received knee pain recently that could be from strain. I box and kick box, and do a lot of squats and lunges. Is it that I possibly have bad form?

Is it possible to eat too little?
Hey! So I know starving yourself is obviously bad, but on this site it tells me to eat 1330 calories a day, fat and so on to lose 1 lb a week.
