    i was told its about 40 calories to cycle a mile so you wouldn't be far off and of course it depends on your bike, terrain etc. as far as being dangerous i'm not sure like you haven't been getting lightheaded or dizzy have you?? how about headaches? you really do need to eat enough for the work...

    People's disbelief about necessary eating when you're big.

    ah faustina don't feel down about it:) do your own thing and don't listen to others - apart from me that is ha ha. ah no i believe you when you say you probably eat healthier than them so try not to compare to them. i eat about 2000 calories a day and usually healthy stuff and i know i could eat...

    why weight gain

    don't weigh yourself after a blip day:) my guess is your body gets used to surviving on limited calories and then when you have your blip it saves the excess for a rainy day maybe - i'm only guessing here:) or maybe its to do with the food you eat on your blip day?? some foods take longer to...

    Why didn't anyone say something to me?

    Who is Making Me Fat?

    yeah i saw that too :0, scary!! bran flakes had more sugar than crunchy nut was it? something like that - i'll stick to the porridge:) ultimately though its clever advertising by the multi-national companies that hinder us being healthy. they spend millions trying to get us to part with our...
