How did you unlearn diet culture?
I’m 5 ft 2 at about 156 lbs at the moment. My weight to height ratio puts me in the overweight category. I’ve been eating between 1200-1300 calories and workout 4-5x a week. This has been going on for about 2-3 months now. I’ve been reading more into calorie intake because I’m constantly hungry and I absolutely hate it and…

Carb Cycling
Has anyone tried carb cycling to confuse your metabolism? Basically, maintain your diet's calorie and protein intake but alternate carbs and fat. I'm trying to determine the correct schedule of carbs and fat....what days and how many of each.

My resolution for the rest of the year
Because I have so much time on my hands at the moment. I figured that it would be a good time to start counting my calories. I have in the past and it made improvements but I started doing it less and less and the weight came back. So, I’m hoping I can stick with that and just have a naturally slow progression of steady…

Depression
Trying to lose weight is hard. I'm only a month in and lost almost 12lbs. But I always feel like it's not happening quick enough. This is why i always give up.

Increasing calories - kid in a candy shop
I’m just coming to the end of a medically-recommended VLCD of 8 weeks. This week (week 8) increasing my calories so that from Monday I’ll be averaging around 1400 cals (but unevenly spread through the week to allow for wine and socialising at the weekend).

Cycling calories
How do you guys enter cycling calories outdoors into MFP? I used the Harvard study for typical calorie burn at different speeds outside, but riding on Zwift with a power meter gives me approximately half the calorie burn. Gotta think the Watts-based calculation is more accurate, and I don't work twice as hard outside as I…

binge eating disorder?
Does anyone else struggle with this? Just diagnosed last month and I am really trying to gain some insight. So far I'm working with a therapist weekly, and she has me logging my amount of binges. I guess it just boils down to the fact that food and I are most definitely not on good terms!

Taking a Break
Guess what ya'll? I'm fricken exhausted. I'm tired of pushing myself in every aspect of my life. To be a good wife/daughter, to be my best professionally, to have my $h*t together, to work out 5-6 days a week, to eat healthy, to be fit. You name it, I'm exhausted of it. I just can't. I can't read another perfect…

I cheated on my diet but not in the way you might think... I went about 100 calories lower for about a week and a half without realising. I am in week 3 now and I have put on 1 kilo. Have I ruined my diet now? I am back on my normal calorie intake and do not want to reduce by 100 calorie again as I felt like I was going to…
