I can't get drunk
I've been dieting for 7 months straight now with daily calories between 1000-1550 per day and the occasional 2000 calorie day. I've cut way back on my drinking because of the calories. But the few times I've drank heavily, Super Bowl Sunday and last night in particular, I allocated for the calories but couldn't even catch…

i can't stop eating!
I changed my eating over 10 years ago. Now when I binge it's not thousands of calories in junk food and sweets. However, I can't stop eating (even though I'm not hungry) tonight. A glass or two of wine and I'm downing a large bag of pea pods with Greek yogurt dip. I'm about 700 calories over for today.

Help! Binging on Blueberries
I'm addicted to sugar. I changed my lifestyle eating over a decade ago by doing Atkins. Over time I modified it to suit my needs and usually eat a half cup of ice cream a day. Back then I lost 54 pounds. I didn't gain it back when I stopped dieting. I did however gain years later when deaths, stress and health got in the…

Macros - 33-33-33 or 50-25-25 or 60-20-20
I do a low carb diet. The problem I have is that with exercise the macro goals go up. I want to get the proper amount of protein. I can ignore what the goal are for carbs (lower than suggested) and fat (higher than suggested or lower if too few calories). I know the rule of thumb .8-1.2 grams of protein per pound of weight…

HR monitor calories vs BMR
I've had a couple of days were I was running around a lot but not exercising. Other days I'm a lazy slug on the couch. I burned over 4000 calories according to my heart rate monitor with over 4 hours "in the zone". If I ate the same 1300 calories on a lazy day as a crazy day, why didn't the scale reflect the loss? Isn't…
