Ultra-low calorie diet
In December I mentioned to my Dr. that I was starting a low calorie diet of 1200 calories. I’m a very picky eater, so when you remove all of the things from my diet that are terrible for you it doesn’t leave much besides chicken. I had a hard time getting in those 1200 calories and asked him if I could go lower since I…

What is this runner’s high and how do I get it?
So It’s hard for me to find the motivation to do much of anything, let alone workout. I enjoy working out from time to time, but I have never experienced this so-called “runner’s high”. Is there a cheat code I’m missing? Do I have to jump up twice and squat down? How do I achieve this mythical, wondrous feeling?

WW help
Weight Watchers has really helped me in the past. The meetings the cheering on for losing weight and the wanting to be held accountable weighing in. Our meetings have just started back up I was thinking of re-joining on Saturday. Has anyone ever just counted calories instead of doing points but just went to the meetings…

Quality vs. Quantity of Calories Burned
So since COVID began, I haven't been doing my usual workouts of Bodypump, Zumba, Step Aerobics, and other strength training. All I've been able to do is walking 4 miles, 4-5 times a week. Considering the heat index outside, I typically burn 1000 calories or more when walking (which is around the same amount I'd burn doing…

Fitbit
I have a Fitbit Inspire HR. What is the percentage one should subtract from the calorie burn the Fitbit says you burned for a more accurate number? Say Fitbit says cardio burned 260 calories for the 30 minute workout, should I subtract 10,20,30% or that number for a more accurate burn? Not sure how all this works. Last…

A question for people who use vibration plates regularly.
Hi there, I got a vibration plate recently as I know years ago in the gym doing some exercises on them had my legs/bum absolutely thumping afterwards like I'd been on a bike for ages. I am 27, disabled, with an eating disorder and also other MH issues that mean I don't get out at all really. I find it hard to do most…

Just another diet book?
Or is there truly something to this? I never know what to believe. I saw her on The Doctors but I'm always a skeptic. And does anyone know what her eating consists of? I know she started with Paleo then became even stricter as her health deteriorated. Thank you for any insight you might have. :)…

Unsupportive Husband
Hello everybody! I hope everybody is doing well, especially during these unprecidented times. I have been totally changing the way that I eat and exercise and my husband isn't being very supportive. I want to switch to being a vegetarian and he doesn't like it at all. He won't let me cook what I want to cook and he just…

Exercise vs diet
I had a doctor tell me once that diet was had more of an impact on weight loss than exercise. She did not say that exercise wasn’t important.

Should I change my approach?
Background : I am 30F, 110 lbs, 4'11.7'' (almost 5), started eating 1200 for the last 10 days or so. I wanted to buy dumbbells and did not know which ones to and ended up going to a gym for a day to see my initial strength level. So there was a person in the gym who was telling me about different machines and stuffs and…

Diet, what is falling off the wagon?
I've been tracking my food and macros for 14 weeks or so now, I'm on a mostly wholefood plant based diet, have had maybe 2 beers in that time (stubbies, not pints) and eaten fairly consistently well. At time I might eat two Nakd bars (for those in the UK) a day and I wonder how much that is like falling off the wagon? What…

Myths or Realities
I've been on my journey now for almost 3 months now. Went from 200lbs to 183lbs, dropped a significant amount of bodyfat from 32% to about 22%. Gained a nice amount of muscle along the way as well. Now my question, I've been super consistent with my diet, except on fathers day, low-carbish high protein and fats, do you…

800 Gram challenge?
Has anyone done this and what were your results? I eat mostly low carb, but I know with my increased weightlifting I should probably add some veggies and fruits... also, they help keep things "moving" if you know what I mean...

Exercise routine
So, I am sure this has been answered a million times, but what routines do ya'll recommend? When should one add weights? I started this thing yesterday at 6'5" and 299 pounds. At my fittest (playing basketball 3-4 hours most days), I was around 235 and would realistically like to get to a somewhat strong 250. I am not…

One Page of Posts?
For a few days, at least, I'm only seeing one page of posts on the General Health, Fitness, and Diet board. Are others having the same issue? (I was hoping it might be fixed when the site was down for maintenance yesterday.)

Horrible weird belly shape anyone?
Ok so I have a B belly. I hate it with the fire of a thousand suns. For anyone with this shape...does it ever truly get better? I have gone from 235 to 166 (I'm 5'3", age 42) and it definitely is loads smaller but the shape is still exactly the same with the top half of the "B" larger than the bottom. (Yes I know my pants…

Back to Square One :(
Hi everyone! I started counting calories all the way back in 2009 at 200lbs :open_mouth: By 2011 I was at 135. So I've done this before, it's not my first rodeo. I, unfortunately, have gradually gained almost all of it back since then I'm ashamed to say. I've basically been up and down in weight for most of that time. I am…

Strength: Now or Later?
I want to build muscle as well as lose weight, but I'm not sure whether I should focus on intensive strength training while I lose or if I should wait until after I've lost the weight. Which is better? Or does it not matter? Any and all advice is appreciated.

New fitbit
I had the Inspire HR, and just a little over a year, it took a crap the other day. This is my second fitbit in 2 years. Apparently the Apple watch doesn't link up to MFP, so I am going to purchase a third fitbit. They offered me a discount and free shipping. I am torn between the Charge 3, and the Versa 2. Is it worth the…

Do you plan or wing it?
This has probably been asked before, so please don't yell at me if so. :-) Do you plan your meals out each day or do you just wing it and add up the calories as you go? If you do plan, are you able to stick with your daily menu or do you sometimes go off it or change it? Asking because I find I can stick to my calorie…
