Also all my salads are home made, and yes, weighed out along with my other food that I consume. I use 1/2 a serving of dressing or less.
Also I have been working out for about 2 months but I just recently started going 6-7 days a week sometimes twice a day and also added some weight training to what I do at the gym.
And this is supposed to be a place for advice. Not for people to point out how I didn't respond to their question quickly enough for them.
Exercise twice a day? So if you weigh your food then your diary should reflect this right? You would be able to answer the questions being asked right?

She said she weighed her salads, I think. I am not sure if she meant she was weighing her other food.
Except she never said what was in her salads.0 -
@atypicalsmith , she did. The answer was vague and didn't include exact amounts, but she did.

I'm thinking whatever answer she was hoping to get was unrelated to her salads so she didn't see the point in giving details. Or she wasn't really weighing anything and just said that to get us to focus on whatever it was she really wanted to hear.janejellyroll wrote: »@atypicalsmith , she did.

I've seen people get "attacked" (for lack of a better term) in many threads but this is definitely NOT one of them. Some folks are a little too sensitive to go on public forums.0

Most of the time it is an issue with logging food intake. I have to think that is probably the case here too. Hope OP can figure it out.

Well its either OP does or just keeps spinning in circles until the logging is correct.

as my first post said i suspect it's the new exercise in her day...weight lifting.
She hasn't been giving herself a rest day either...
and anyone who lifts knows that for at least a couple weeks after you start lifting you do retain a lot of water/glycogen for repair...
If in fact that is the case she will see that go away in a couple weeks if not she can come back and ask again.

Interesting guess. My guess is since OP was looking at exercise being a problem and nothing wrong with the diet side which is way more important than exercise for weight loss. If it wasn't that then the calorie intake questions would of been answered. We still have not got those answers needed to figure out the problem.

OP, if you're still on here, just make sure you are eating at a deficit and you will be fine. Weight fluctuates from things like water weight, muscle gain, etc. I would only weigh once a week or just try on some tight jeans once a week. Be patient!0

Hope this helps.
So it isn't the calories in the salad, it is the actual salad itself keeping her from losing weight?
What magical food is this? Let's use it to fight starvation if it somehow circumvents how much energy the human body requires.

All calories are not =
If for example I eat high fat high sugar diet versus a diet of low fat low sugar I can not eat as many calories. So yes the amount of calories you can eat will change based on what type of foods you are eating.
This does not mean I can't lose weight eating a high fat high sugar diet it just means I can't eat as many calories doing it.
Do you mean the volume of food you eat will change based on the foods you choose?
Because you can eat an equal number of calories in both situations. You can plan to eat a certain number of calories and stop when you reach that goal. Different choices will lead to different volumes. But even if you eat a low volume of high calorie foods, you will lose weight at a deficit.

Again you can eat less calories eating certain foods. It doesn't mean you can't lose weight eating anything, you can. It simply means you can't eat as much of it.
Calories in-calories out =how many calories you can eat to lose weight
It is a great equation, but in that equation the variables calories in have sub variables as well as there are sub variables in the calorie out equation that will change the answer.
What are these CI variables you talking about?0 -

Are you talking about the thermic effect of food? A handful of calories at best.
How is that helping this mess of a thread when the OP was talking about eating salad in the first place?

This does not mean I can't lose weight eating a high fat high sugar diet it just means I can't eat as many calories doing it.
Also, an inch is not an inch and a degree centigrade is not a degree centigrade.

I'm pretty sure you would still eat the same number of CALORIES, you just wouldn't be able to eat as much food if you were doing the whole high-fat, high-sugar thing, surely?
All calories are equal. Pretty sure that's true. But most people choose to eat foods with less calories in so they can eat more and feel fuller, and they are usually more nutritiously beneficial.

So you're saying that you can eat more calories if you eat certain foods? Which foods are these?
And are you arguing that they aren't in salads?0 -
@robbackatya I'm completely with you on this one.. But I guess most people are talking about WEIGHTLOSS and not HEALTH.. Weightloss, yeah. CICO and *kitten*. Health, on the other hand, is a different story..
Sure, I can eat Mcdo everyday for one meal and those will be my 1200 kcal for that day. But I rather have breakfast with oatmeal, a banana and raspberries and nice roasted veggies with some meat as lunch, some fruit and nuts as a snack and zuchinni pasta with fish and veggies for dinner as my 1200 kcal for one day (my diary from yesterday). But not everyone thinks like that..0 -
you guys realize the OP won't be back right...just thought I would put that out there.0

I agree. I have some of that issue too. But I have to figure that I am still healthier than I was. I am losing inches and gaining strength but the scale is not my friend right now. I feel ya.

1 and a half pages until OP declared everyone mean, took her salads and went home. *shrug*
2 pages until the "NOT ALL CALORIES ARE CREATED EQUAL!" argument started.
This dumpster fire is coming along quite nicely.0 -

Can you please post some scientific evidence to back up your claim.
If you cannot do this, I will have to suggest you start taking some laxatives because you're full of *kitten*.-5 -
Who are these all calories aren't equal people arguing against? I'm trying desperately to figure this out.0
