What is bingeing and how can I tell if I have a problem? |
|

To binge means an unrestrained and often excessive indulgence. We assume your question refers to binge eating. This becomes a problem when you're overweight or it leads to bulimia (bingeing and purging). The best way to find out if you have a problem is to consult your physician. Good luck. |

I'm a yo-yo dieter. Is this harmful? |

Yes. Yo yo dieting will send your body into defense mode. Through centuries of feast and famine, our bodies have developed a defense mechanism to stop them from starving to death. That defense is simply to slow down the body's basal metabolic rate (the amount of calories the body burns on a daily basis just by living). If this becomes a chronic state your body will just slow down permanently, waiting for the next time you go on a diet and starve it again. With a slower than normal basal metabolic rate it becomes nearly impossible to to lose weight. The key here is to have a consistent caloric deficit without starving your body. That means that you have to consume at least 1,000 to 1,200 calories per day no matter what. Learn how your body works by using fatburn.com and you will never yo yo again. |

You can eat just about anything you want and still lose weight. To lose weight all you have to do is be in a calorie deficit--which means you have to burn more calories than you eat daily. All you have to do is know how many calories are contained in the candy you eat. As long as you stay in a calorie deficit, you will lose weight. |

| Q: |
|
Will I gain weight if I quit smoking? |
|
| Asked By Anonymous |

Smoking doesn't make you gain or lose weight. Nicotine does increase the rate of your metabolism so by quiting you will burn fewer calories during the day. Plus, the physical action of smoking becomes an oral fixation and when one quits he or she may replace that with eating. But, the only way you will gain weight is when you eat more calories than you burn. If you quit smoking and are worried that you may gain weight, join fatburn.com so you can track your daily caloric intake and burn to insure that you do not put on those extra pounds. |
