biggest loser
I dont know if anyone watched the show last night. If you did, who are you rooting for? I personally am rooting for the yellow team. Also, they had a new gadget that the contestants had. It is a calorie burner calculator that they had wrapped around their arm. It showed exactly how many calories they burned during their…

apple cider vinegar
I first became obsessed with learning more about the apple cider vinegar cleanse when Megan Fox (the actress) said that she does this to maintain her weight.

carb question
Does it matter how many carbs you eat at one meal. Like say is over 50 carbs at one meal to much?

If you shouldnt go over a certain number of carbs at one meal, how much is to…

going bananas
I was just asking everyones opinion, do you think bananas are more heathy or not. For 1 fact, ive read that they are high on the GI, and they are a bit higher in carbs than most fruit. On the other hand they are high in potassium and help with problems like bloating and cramps( hehe). So what does everyone think.......Good…

other carbs
I dont know if this has an obvious answer or not but, I wanted to know what it means when it lists "other carbs" on a food label.

I plan out my meals and I usually have more calories left than carbs to use for dinner and a snack. For example, I would have like 500 calories left, but only 15-25 carbs, after I have eaten breakfast, lunch, and a snack. I eat 55% of my calories from carbs, and I did want to change that to 50% over time. What foods have a…

I was just wondering if you should count the calories you burn while shopping (food, clothes, ect.) The reason I ask is because shopping for me is only a once a week thing, and I didnt know if that would count as part of my regular burned calories or if i should record it as exercise.

I do not really need to loose alot…
