Calorie intake
I exercise quite a lot and am given extra calories for it but sometimes I can be very calorie deficient as I can't eat that much as I intermittent fast and don't eat breakfast. If I am quite short on calories each day will this effect my metabolism or have a negative impact in any way?

How do you stay motivated when you travel?
I'm visiting India for a month. Every time I've traveled in the past, I've gained pounds. I want to avoid that. :'( I've put in a lot of work in my weight loss efforts and, in fact, just broke a plateau after hard work. I've been disciplined with my yoga routine in the morning and have been walking regularly. I'll probably…

Carb goal v sugar goal
I am trying out a low carb/keto diet whilst I'm unable to run due to a stress fracture. I'm aiming for 10% carbs, which equates to an target of 30g per day. Given sugar is a carb, why is my sugar target higher than my total carb target (46g)... Given carbs can be made up of a few things, why would the target for sugar be…

About small deficits, plateaus, weight trends and consistency (and looking for maintenance)
This isn't really a question, but a post that will hopefully help others (although I'm not sure how many people still read these boards and are patient enough to read long posts 😄).

The most powerful antioxitant on Earth?
Recently I started drinking Tumeric tea for tinnitus. The curcumin is an antioxidant, and an inflammatory as well. It actually does help the tinnitus a little! It also is a good antioxidant, however the most interesting thing I found out is if you add black pepper to turmeric it acts like a catalyst, where your body,…

Doing IF all wrong
So I decided to do 12:12 as the most easiest option. Anyway I read that those doing IF they had 2 meals instead of 3. But what I was doing was cramming my 3 meals within the time slots. So break my fast at 11 and have breakfast and then at 12.30 have lunch. Im such a loser honestly.

But to get to a BMI of 24, I need to lose 34.5 more pounds. My understanding of the eat-a-lot-one-day-a-week thing is to prevent your body's…
