My pee-pee is always clear. Does that mean I'm gonna die? Sad

I don't diet. I eat what I want, but my metabolism is so fast that I never gain any weight. Neutral

Don't get to used to that. When you get to college, everything changes.

If your urine is 100% clear you probably are good to go on water. But if there is still a tint to it, then you aren't hurting yourself.

I drink over a gallon a day.

YES! God..A gallon of water is 128 ounces a day that's the equivalent of 10.6 cans of soda...I got the .6 from nowhere..I just made it up.

It's not that I object to water drinking it's just hard to find time to down that much water...Especially when yer doing it using 8 ounce cups..That's 16 cups of water a day..Give or take.

Look, this is how it works from a biological point of view. Your muscles need to burn a certain amount of a simple sugar to induce resperation, the convertion of water, oxygen and a sugar base to synthesis everything in your body. By lowering your carb intake, one of the best sources for simple sugar synthsis you are forcing your body to burn other stores of energy. Your literally starving your body, that is why the fat stores are the first part to go. Now ming is right, you increase your carb intake slowly to match your fitness level and activity level. If your working out a lot, running, or in heavy construction jobs, cutting carbs will kill you. Literally, it will kill you, your body will burn through the fat stores and begin to eat your muscle tissue, this is atrophy. So yes the Atkins diet wil jump start your metabolic clock so to speak but it no were says in any health guide "stuff your face full of fatty chicken wings and a pound and a half of bacon as a snack to your 4 lbs burger." The real trick to losing weight. Run, to excersices that include your back "bigger muscle groups burn more calories", and put in less than you take our calorically. This can be carbs, sugars, protiens whatever, just less. Also if your looking to gain muscle mass, which weighs more but is healthier. Eat more protien, your cells can convert it into muscle tissue easier than carbs or sugars.

I once drank a gallon of water in one sitting, just to see what would happen and as a stupid challenge. That's not something I'll ever do again...

A gallon a day is a bit extreme, half of your liquid intake should be water, milk or juice and I would say you are good. And as for meals it’s actually better to eat 5 small meals than one large one.

I can't stop eating CARBS!!!!!!!! Is it so wrong for me to love chips and everything that I shouldn't be eating! I can't help it, and frankly I'm sick of feeling guilty and bad about it!!!!!! I like my carbs dammit!!!! I am envious of you people who can live a low carb lifestyle and be happy and content with that! I just simply can't do it, it's impossible!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE CHIPS, and CANDY, and all that yummy stuff!!! But every time I eat stuff like that I feel bad about it, and dwell on the fact that I'm eating bad foods!!!
*runs off and cries*
when I eat carbs ---> Very Happy
When I'm finished ----> Crying or Very sad

It's a war I'll never win!!!!

I'm the same way UP..But since I haveta buy my own food and live with a low-carb nut-job like Shino we have no carbs in the house. So I have no choice but to not eat em.

So I've been doin really well...Had we a buncha cakes and Ice cream n'stoof I'd still be munchin carbs like Pac-man on power pellets.
