So Is Jason Fung right...or wrong...is insulin even a factor in losing weight...and other issues.
I am honestly curious what our own experts on MyFitnesspal think about the guy who is kind of famous or infamous-depending on whether you believe him or not- with his views on IF, fasting and keto. He is in favour of all of these three strategies though his favourite subject seems to be fasting, so is he wrong? On a number…

How do you graph your weight?
This may seem like such a simple question, but I'm curious if there's a better way. Since your true weight is really some function of what you've eaten the last few days and what you've expelled, you can never really know this, but only approximate it. The report on MFP doesn't perform any sort of curve fitting of your…

Should I take an iron supplement?
When I read my nutritional analysis on MFP dairy I am always low on iron. I usually don't even get to the 50% amount. I am 63 and do take a "mature" multivitamin but it does not contain iron. I am a vegetarian and do not eat meat so I cannot get my iron through that. I am wondering if I should be taking a supplement? Do I…
