Encouragement to stop binges
I'm getting so frustrated with my binge-eating habits. I can't tell anyone around me because I'm ashamed and I just hate hate hate feeling depressed all the time and not wanting to go out with friends because I'm either bloated, trying to debloat or going on one of my "eat only healthy food" phases that has me running…

How do you deal with hunger?
About once a week I get the urge to eat everything in sight. I try to make the healthiest choices during that time but always end up going over calories and it's significantly hindering my weight loss. I'm not eating too little calories on an average day. This has turned into a weekly cycle and I'm sick of stalling my…

How do you keep from slipping off the wagon?
I've been over-eating big time one meal a week for the past month and I'm getting sick of it. Everything usually balances out after a few days but these meals are really hindering my progress. I'd catch myself slipping several other times during the week and stop that nonsense just in time. I'm not under-eating at all…

Accidently binged today for the first time in months
Hey guys, So I've been trying to lose weight to prepare for a Tough Mudder and have been eating too few calories for the past week (just started counting again). I just had a major binge on nuts, fruit and egg whites. The thing is, I'm STILL hungry. I'm planning on increasing my calories to 1,500 per day instead of…

Lost all motivation, need help
I used to be a complete health nut and would maintain at 107lbs easily at 5'2. For the past few months I've just been feeling so tired and gained about 10lbs. I hate the way I look in the mirror and it makes me want to work out even less now because I feel disgusting. I belong to this awesome gym with really nice, fit…

Why do I always feel hungry even if I just ate?
I always feel super hungry after a meal even if I ate a lot. I also bloat up whenever I eat no matter the amount and it's getting really annoying walking around looking like I'm pregnant. Why do you think it's happening? I know it's not thirst because I'd literally drink a liter of water but the feeling of hunger is still…

How did you feel after cutting out gluten or carbs?
Were there noticeable changes in the way you felt? And was it difficult for you to do?

Does cooking with a cast iron skillet add calories?
I know this sounds kind of stupid but please hear me out before giving me a snarky answer. A good skillet's seasoned with oil that was baked into it and retained through repeated use. Wouldn't it add calories to the foods you cook with it? Thanks.

Bloating help (could it be gluten?)
So basically I'd wake up in the morning with a flat stomach and would finish the day looking like a pregnant woman. I eat a healthy diet with a lot of vegetables. What do you think could be causing this? Thanks!

Does your body store all calories you eat?
I binged last weekend and took in several thousand calories more than I need. I'm obviously looking to address the issue behind the binge eating but what I want to know is whether a human body stores all calories that goes into it and converts it into fat. What if it were a mass quantity of calories? These sporadic binge…

Does anyone else crave sugar ONLY after eating it?
The only times I crave sugar is after I something containing it and it's really annoying because it turns into a full-out sugar binge and is derailing my weight loss goals. The practical thing to do is to avoid sugar but that isn't always possible and I've found that even little things such as raisins and fruit have the…

Foods to stabilize sugar rush?
I usually eat a healthy diet and avoid foods with added sugars but sometimes I'm caught off guard (such as having to stay on campus unexpectedly) and have resort to foods with added sugar such as flavored yogurt or granola bars. Even fruit sets it off sometimes. The sugar in these foods leave me feeling super hungry, light…

Should I just accept my set point?
Last year I lost about 18 pounds (from 125 to 107lbs). I'm 5'2, 116lbs now and I'm not happy. The thing is, I'm still eating very clean but not as rigid with calories, measurimg and set meal times. I can't get under 115lbs no matter how hard I try, which is weird since I maintained at 107 easily for several months. My…

Days when you're ravenous
I noticed when I get sleep deprived I'll be massively hungry, which obviously doesn't go well with my cutting plans since I end up gravitating towards foods that fill me up. For normal hunger pangs I'd fill up on raw veggies and water but today at lunch....I basically went for filling (and calorie dense) foods like peanut…
