Is a fibre supplement and a laxative the same thing?
I don't want laxatives which I can only use for a week... I want a supplement I can use EVERY. DAY. CONTINOUSLY. I don't want something to help me now, I want something to help me every day. I asked my pharmacist for a fibre supplement and he gave me laxatives which I can only use for a week. :-/ Does that mean they are…

Looking for Friends
I've been on and off here a few times and I'm hoping to stay this time. I've deleted a few friends as sometimes I feel that, if I leave now, I'm not coming back. Yet I always do. I'm someone who believes in moderation and that no food is off limits. I would like some friends who are the same. And who are motivational,…

Not sure who to believe
I recently had the opportunity to visit two doctors on the same day. (We only have one in our town.) The problem is that when I get up, I feel really dizzy and my eyes go dark a few seconds. One doctor said I should quit eating so much sugar. (I love sweets, but I'm not really THAT much over WEEKLY) The other one said I…

So my family bought take out...RANT
I don't have anything to eat tonight because my sister "accidentally" gave the last portion of my frozen food (that I make the beginning of the week) to the dog, "mistakenly" thinking it was old. My family said they were going to go get take out. So since I don't have something to eat, I placed my order for ribs and chips…

There's "the look" again
So once in every while I buy myself a whole basket full of sweets. Chips, candy, chocolate, Ice cream and anything else I want. And then the cashier says: "Omg! Are you gonna eat all that??" And then I say yes..... and she goes: "OMG your gonna get as fat as an elephant!" And then I smile and say: "I eat on this for 2-3…

Weighing food = eating disorder
At least according to my family. I've been losing weight for 11 months, and in that time I have developed a problem that is the opposite of what most people have. I overestimate instead of underestimate. Which means if I don't meassure, I think I'm eating 1600 when really I'm eating more like 1000. Now because I want to be…

Finally regaining control
I've been struggling to lose weight because I crave a lot of stuff and I feel like I couldn't get a hold on those. Now it finally seems as if my willpower is returning. For the past 3 days every night I've craved sweets. (which isn't bad, but no room in my calories) Or I just want to eat and eat all night. But I've…

100 calorie snack ideas?
Hello, I've been thinking of incorporating an afternoon snack to get me out of the "energy slump". Even though I want it to be filling, I don't really want to spend more than 100 calories on it because I still prefer to save my calories for a big meal. Any ideas?

Uncomfortable tummy
I HATE when my tummy is like this!!!! Its all noisy and gassy and bloated and sore from gassyness. I don't know why this happens I've thought maybe a food allergy but it just happens randomly. There's no specific food that triggers it. And if I'm not trying to get unconstipated...then I'm trying to stop it from working too…

I guess the flat belly thing isn't happening then
For me atleast. It seems that I'm naturally apple shaped and carry all my fat there. From the front, you look at me and I look like this > | But turn me to the side and all you see is this > B In other words, from the front I have no shape almost, barely any hips, but from the side you see it, THA BELLY!!!! :laugh: I…

Hungry with very little calories left
Hi everyone! So I have kind of eaten most of my calories for the day (I didn't plan out the day because I was a little busy) but there's still dinner left tonight...:-/ (it's TOM's fault I'm still hungry!) I honestly don't want to go over my mark. I've exercised a bit more and now I have about 200 calories earned. What can…

Introducing myself
Hello, I'm 21 and female and looking to lose a few kilos. In the past I've lost 15 kilos, but I used to gain it back a lot. I yo-yo'd because I didn't understand nutrition or how to maintain. Since then I've read up A LOT about calories. A lot of the questions I've asked Google have been answered by these forums. I know…
