Losing fat gaining muscle?
I have been focusing a lot on losing weight over the last 2 months.

I have also been using a body…

Insulin: An undeserved bad reputation James Krieger
There have been posts lately in these environs from those who have read Fung and are proponents of his ideas. The science shows that his whole understanding of the role of insulin is "flawed". And that is putting it mildly. Yet, some repeat it as some kind of settled science. James Krieger wrote an article that is the…

How to decide when to stop?
Ok, so. I've been losing weight nice n slowly for a few years (I did this deliberately, as I struggled with eating disorders before and I felt like very low calories/quick weight-loss would be detrimental to my mental health). I'm now at a kind-of dilemma. I'm 167 cm tall (roughly 5'5, I think?) and 59 kg (roughly 130…

Sad reality.
I've done the math and I've figured out that I cannot create a 2lb a week deficit without either going under 1200 cals (not recommended so I won't do) or exercising and not eating back my calories. I've just been somewhat surprised to learn this. At 220 lbs ( still very much obese) but only lightly active I really still…

Net Calories vs Gross Calories?
HI MFP community, I'm a bit confused between these two concepts. Well, I understand them but what I'm not sure if I need to net 1260 calories or just eat 1260.
