I've been on a diet for a really long time and one thing I can't give up is graham crackers. Whenever I'm hungry [and already had plenty of fruit/veggies] I eat them. I have been losing weight so I don't think eating 2 of them a day or spread out during the week is doing much. Would it be okay for my diet to keep eating graham crackers or should I start replacing them with 100 calorie pack cookies?? Any other options?? Thanks!!

i say you keep graham crackers in your diet. 2 graham crackers probably have the same or even less calories than the 100 calorie packs. congrats on losing weight. =].

I have hit this really bad plateau with my weight loss (5'2" and 155 lbs) and i've been this weight (and fluctuating about 5 pounds near it) for about 2 months now. And my diet and exercise habits have remained the same.


I was having 1200 cals a day, then i recently took it up to 1400, then 1600, but i keep screwing up.

I feel so deprived of food that I actually like (ice cream, pizza, fries, cookies, candy, etc.) that I completely binge on it whenever I have the opportunity.


I would like to know what you thin people do to stay in shape/thin (or is it just your fast-as-hell metabolisms?)


and is it okay to pretty much throw your diet out the window from friday night-sunday night? (i need some time to have my junk food)


please just answer.

answers:
1. most thin people have different ways of why they are thin. some work extremely hard by exercizing, while others can gorge on whatever the hell they want and they wont get bigger. its mainly based on genetics.
2. If you feel deprived of food, then you should eat a little bit of it, not binge it. if your dying to have a cookie, split the cookie in half and have your friend have one half of the cookie, while you have the other half. your helping your craving by doing so. if your going to have pizza with some friends, eat a small meal ahead of time (like a salad that has a little dressing on it), and limit yourself to one slice of pizza.
3. It is not okay to throw your diet out the window for a weekend. If you need to eat some junk food, you could have a sandwich and put some baked chips on the side.
The only weigh to lose weight is to eat healthy and excersize 30 minutes 3-4 times a week.
i hope this helps you out!
