Activity level
I'm a student. I go to school at night, do one hour of barre class or yoga a day, do daily house work (laundry, dishes) & occasionally walk my dogs. I do take naps... Does this sound lightly active or active? Sitting at a desk for school isn't exactly active...

Period binge weight gain
So I completely understand when people say "just move on. It happened once. Bla bla bla". But I've been maintaining weight, & I don't really want to have to have one week of maintenance, a week of overeating, and then a week of weight loss calories...EVERY. MONTH. I get it. One pound of weight gain is not a lot. BUT if us…

Negative calorie foods
I've heard that blueberries are "negative calorie" foods. I have a friend who just started dieting. She use to binge a lot, but she's replaced it now with binge eating blue berries. BOXES at a time. I told her that the excess calories are still "excess". Any views on this?
