Too far gone with caffeine/pop (soda) addiction?

I understand this and the last thing I need is to feel worse about myself... Now... I've been addicted to pop as long as I can remember. My parents never gave me any restrictions (not…

Tips for cutting portion size?
Hi everyone, I'm giving this weight loss thing another try. I lost 40lbs last time and then got injured and went back to my old ways. The injury still bothers me, but I've joined a gym with a pool and I'm super excited! My biggest problem is portion sizes. I eat A LOT. For example, if we get pizza, I'll eat 7-8 slices…

I'm a little iffy on it because it only follows protein and carbs. I'm also a little confused. Do all these things have to be eaten plain (like chicken and turkey since it mentions that a…
