The Food Epiphany That Helped Me Lose Weight Fast

nospam@example.com ()

Hey guys! Remember how I told you last Monday after running the 10K that I was going on a week-long challenge? After 11 weeks on Body by Glamour, I felt like my body was becoming resistant to weight loss. And food complacency was definitely settling in, so to shake things up a bit, I issued myself the challenge: To follow the Body by Glamour plan to the letter. I tried my hardest and although I had a couple of slip-ups, (involving Skinny Cow ice cream and a few pieces of chocolate) I was intentional about what I ate all week. And I had a real epiphany when I got on the scale yesterday…

User Post: Keeping a Food Diary will help me lose weight HOW????

This is a topic that NO ONE likes to talk about. It’s a pain to do, and who really wants to keep a nit-picky little record of every little thing they eat? I know all the excuses why NOT to keep a food diary; I’ve used them a million times myself! At the bottom of it, though, is the fact that we…

I've been seeing a nutritionist. When I realized that I had gained back every single pound (and then some) from a major weight-loss effort a few years ago, I felt like I needed a sanity check because--even though I eat my veggies and fruits and avoid fast food--something was obviously out of...

Do you guys keep a food journal?

nospam@example.com ()

When I first started this plan, I wrote down every single thing I put into my body. Like, if I ate a crumb from a cupcake at an office birthday party, I'd record it. And I didn't just write "almonds"--I wrote exactly how many, exactly what time of day, and if I happened to be...

Food costs have been a very hot topic in the news lately. I've been busy sharing my tips about how to eat healthfully on a budget, and one near the top of my list is to shop at price clubs (like BJs, Sam's, and Costco). According to the American Dietetic Association, nearly three out of four...
