i wish they would just hire users from the site to do this and verify information.

it would be nifty to hire someone who was trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle, because they could enter the foods they eat and use on a daily basis.

my bread doesn't show up in here :( along with other things i've tagged.

like thinly sliced boneless skinless chicken breast cutlets.

OH! i haven't tried weighing myself on my actual scale. i figured i would just use the Wii in coordination with this website to attain my goals.. but now i'm thinking i should check it to see if it is off :/

my boxing aerobics was unlocked for me yesterday, and i did it twice and i'm feeling the paaaain today!

Alcohol, Calories & Weight

Drinking alcohol does not contribute to weight gain, according to scientific medical research.

Alcohol contains calories, but drinking alcohol doesn't lead to weight gain, according to extensive medical research, and many studies report a small reduction in weight for women who drink. 1

The reason that alcohol doesn't increase weight is unclear, but research suggests that alcohol energy is not efficiently used. 2 Alcohol also appears to increase metabolic rate significantly, thus causing more calories to be burned rather than stored in the body as fat. 3 Other research has found consumption of sugar to decrease as consumption of alcohol increases. 4

Whatever the reasons, the consumption of alcohol is not associated with weight gain and is often associated with weight loss in women. The medical evidence of this is based on a large number of studies of thousands of people around the world. 5 Some of these studies are very large; one involved nearly 80,000 and another included 140,000 subjects.

Alcohol beverages contain no fat, no cholesterol, and very little sodium. Of course, the nutritional value of different alcohol beverages varies.

The moderate consumption of alcohol is associated with better health and longer life than is either abstaining from alcohol or abusing alcohol. However, the health benefits of drinking are associated with moderation [learn more about Alcohol and Health]. On the other hand, heavy drinking is associated with cirrhosis of the liver, breast cancer, and other health problems. The key word is moderation.

i think a lot of people get cramps when they run.

i always get side cramps on my right side, but i hear its because you're not breathing correctly from my "runner" friends. when it happens i try to take deeper breaths and i just run through it. it usually goes away. not sure if this is good or bad. ha.
