    I'm starving at night!!!!!!

    Being hungry is not a “bad habit” or a lack of will power. Stop telling yourself that. If you are ravenous, then the obvious answer is there is something wrong with your diet, not with you. Hunger is a biological response to the physiological condition of needing food. If you are famished at...

    Overeats at night -- please help!

    If you didn’t eat compulsively before you started your new diet, and you’re suddenly eating an entire boxes of fruit loops, or twizzlers or whatever, then the obvious answer is there is something wrong with your diet, not with you. Hunger is a biological response to the physiological condition...

    May seem like a silly question, but I'm asking anyway

    Thank you Ronne. And thank you Jilly bean. Everyone is so nice around here. I know that sounds trite, but it really is so nice to know that I can post stuff here and there are people here who want to have real conversations about these things. It makes me happy.

    May seem like a silly question, but I'm asking anyway

    I am so sorry Jilly Bean, I am so very sorry. I don't want you to think that you are letting me down at all. Believe me when I tell you I do the exact same things you do when it comes to eating. It is so easy to offer suggestions and it sounds so simple that we think it should be easy, but...

    Rapid Breath, I apologize if my statements came across wrong. Yes, sugar can be very corrosive to the body, and insulin resistance is a serious metabolic issue which shouldn't be treated lightly.

    May seem like a silly question, but I'm asking anyway

    Just another thought I noticed in your original post you mentioned that you eat very strictly for a couple of weeks, but as soon as you start adding back in more normal things all hell breaks loose. How about instead of going for the big reward up front and eating super strict to loose the...

    May seem like a silly question, but I'm asking anyway

    It's ok to want a donut. I’m sorry, I don’t mean to go on and on, but this is just something I feel really strongly about, and I had this coworker that was so obnoxious and thank heavens she quit because I was getting really close to slapping her. But here goes: It has absolutely nothing what...

    suggestion (not a question)

    Having a dark room helps too. An alarm clock with a red display is easier to read and less disruptive at night then a blue display.

    May seem like a silly question, but I'm asking anyway

    Jilly Bean, I believe your chief concerns are that you’re cold and painfully bored with your healthy diet so you can't stand it long term and there's a sling shot effect when you go off of it. If you are physically cold all the time, then you are probably cutting too much fat out of your...

    Arthritis in Knees

    Having knee problems is awful. You have my deepest sympathy. The excercise bike, eliptical and tread mill are all low impact aerobic activities. Ask him if there are stretches or resistance excercises he can recommend which will help support the knee and help keep space inside the joint...

    Help eating healthy when staying at home

    Eating right and making healthy choices isn't something people just do. It takes training and practice like everything else. Making small incremental changes will be easier and less overwhelming then making a lot of huge changes all at once. Ellie Kreiger has a pretty good book called...

    Does anyone use quinoa?

    You shouldn't store any cooked grain in the fridge for more than a week. This is particularly true of rye berries. If you make a large batch and know you won't finish it all in a few days, a better option is to portion it and freeze it. It will reheat in the microwave in just a few minutes, or...

    Calendar problem

    Never mind I figured it out. Apparently one must click on the calendar date. I guess I thought one could click anywhere on the selected day and it would work. I was wrong.

    Calendar problem

    Hello, I am having problems with the calendar on the workout manager. When I click on the calendar, nothing happens. I am logged in. It even let's me update my profile, so that is not the problem. Any one have any suggestions? All responses gratefully accepted.
