Organic Food is Good for Weight Loss?
My friend argues that organic foods help with weight loss. I argue that a calorie is a calorie no matter where it comes from. A 50 calorie organic cookie is still 50 calories worth of food. If you eat too many organic cookies you still gain the same amount of weight! Am I missing something here?

Not being able to workout is torture...
Just had an ingrown toenail removed and the doc ordered some rest for a few days. Not being able to exercise like I want is the worst punishment you can give me.

I cut 100 calories from each day and exercise 10 extra minutes for 3 days before a planned meal. By the time I get to eating the meal I can enjoy it more…

Don't Celebrate Weight Loss Goals With Food!!!
I used to celebrate weight loss goals with food. In fact most special occasions had to have food or else it was not an occasion at all. The last time I celebrated with food I started incorporating cheat days that led to more cheat days. So my new approach will be to earn the meal instead of cheating. I have a dinner this…

Nutrition Education
I'm in my 30s and I don't remember being taught any type of nutitional information. School lunches consisted of pizza, burgers, hot dogs fries. The only "healthy" options were canned fruits swimming in syrup or literally a handful of salad. I clearly remember the lunch lady using her bare hands. Ugh. So growing up I…
