Q. We all know alcohol is probably the worst thing while on a diet but being in college it's tough to avoid.
I already plan on drinking miller chill which only has 100 calories per bottle, drinking a bunch of water before bed and not binge eating once I get home. Is there anything else I could do to minimize weight gain while drinking?

A. No. I think you have to stop drinking. I don't know if you are an addict or you just drink once in awhile, but I want to let you know that if you drink to mutch all the time your kidneys can fail. I'm only telling you because my dad drank alot and his kidneys might fail and he may die soon. So when ever I hear someone that's drinking I get scarred for them. I hope I helped you alittle at least
How can I lift my mood during the day?
Q. I always get in a foul mood at about 3 o'clock, mostly because I'm tired but I know that I have to keep going because I still have to get through my workout and my homework before bed. I have gained about 20 pounds recently because I have been binge eating, and a bad mood is constantly sabotaging my efforts! How can I improve my feelings so I can stick to my goals?
A. Try to switch your work outs until the am, this will suck at first but kick butt in the ling run. Then at 3 at least you know that is out of the way. As far as the binge eating, that triggered by stress and to curb that replace all the junk food with quality nosh. Trade the salty chips for roasted almonds or lightly salted peanuts. Trade the candy for an apple or banana, its all about staying full so you dont over eat. I know when I binge I feel like crap from the crap food, sugars and processed foods severely effect your moods.
How can I stop feeling light headed and dizzy whilst dieting?
Q. After ~12 weeks of lots of alcohol consumption and binge eating, fuelled by misery, I decided to get my act together, change my attitude and behaviour and reverse the effects, namely the 9 pounds gained.
For the past week I have logged my calories faithfully with the myfitnesspal app and although I control how much sugar I eat I do still have substantial carbohydrates from wholegrains, rice and vegetables.
I am 5'4" and my arbitrary calorie goal is 1200 although I wouldn't beat myself up if I went over. Example, today (it is 10pm) I have eaten 1054 calories: 49% from carbohydrates, 28% from fat and 22% protein. Although not hungry I might eat a little more before bed to bring it closer to 1200.
Every time I have dieted in the past I have easily tackled stomach hunger 'sensations' but can't deny that I always feel light headed, woozy, spaced out, derealised. I usually grin and bear it (In a way it is slightly like euphoria and my imagination flows well) but this week and next I need to focus on studying which is tough when feeling spaced out and dizzy.
I guess I could up my calories for a bit but if you have experienced the same and found methods/eating patterns/food types that can combat the dizziness I'd like to hear about it for future reference. Thank you in advance.

A. you're eating below your limit. 1200-1500 cals is the suggested range for rapid weight loss dieting, and 1500-1800 is for more moderate dieting. Your already on the low end and when you dont hit the limit your actually eating less than you should. you should increase your limit to the middle of the range and see if that helps.
