I also eat my lunch out of tupperware and I have wondered if it is more than a plate's worth. Yesterday I brought some leftover veggies in separate baggies to make a salad. I opened the lettuce first and put it on one of the paper plates we have in the office. It overflowed off the plate. I know it ...

Hi BizzyBee - since I didn't join until March, I hadn't read your old posts until today. I just have to ask - can I come live with you? You have the best meals in your house.

Nothing exciting to report. I feel like this is getting boring but the HabitCal is really the only thing that keeps me honest. But I also feel like I read this board too much. If we all claim to feel liberated from having to think about food all the time, why are so many people always on this board?...

Strawberry isn't drinking "excessive" amounts of water. That article says several liters over a short period of time is dangerous. 4 liters in 24 hours is not excessive or dangerous. I drink close to a gallon of water a day as well. Is it necessary? No. Can I do without it? Yes, and I sometimes have...

I have never had a problem with accidentally resetting it and find it very accurate. I would highly recommend it if you can find it at ...

I know that the Blood Type diet is probably ridiculous as most diets are. And it is definitely inappropriate for a No S'er. But when others comment on how well it correlates to what they crave and normally eat anyway, it does make you wonder if there is some truth to it. I just wish I knew what my b...
