    I’m a 63 year old gluten sensitive female with a history of breast cancer and pancreatic cysts. I have read so much about different diets and lifestyles and am overwhelmed with all the differing opinions. Is their an appropriate macros combination for my age to lose weight? I find myself gaining 5 pounds every 5 years or so. I’m up 13 from my normal early adult weight. Thanks for your help.

    I’ve been encouraged to do the Fit For Life diet which is all about timing different foods for instance not eating fruit with any protein. I find it very hard to live by. Do you ever recommend that?

    I’ve recently been diagnosed with insulin resistant PCOS. I need to loose some weight but the insulin resistance makes that difficult. Any recommendations on what I can do to address this issue? There is so much out there about this but I find it mostly contradictory in nature. Appreciate any insight you have on this!

    I just started strength training 5-6 times a week (3 upper - 2/3 lower body days). Since I want to increase muscle mass but avoid gaining unnecessary fat, should I do any changes to my diet? I already eat 1.8 g of protein per kg of body weight but I am eating at maintenance, maybe even in a deficit some days. Will this prevent me from progressing in the gym and gaining muscle mass?

    Hi there!
    I'm struggling with a weight loss plateau and staying motivated for losing those last 5 pounds before I can go back into maintenance calories. I'm currently intermittent fasting and taking in about 1500 calories and ~110 g protein a day, and I do a combination of cardio and strength training 4-5 times during the week. The problem is, I've been doing this for about three months and lost 15 pounds and I'm starting to get burned out, and I've been splurging more as a result of that. Any tips for pushing through the burnout and plateau?
    Thank you!

    I went through a period of undereating due to illness for 2-3 months, is it true that my metabolism has adapted and now my maintentance calories have decreased? I know the reduction of body mass already decreases BMR but is there some kind of effect after sudden weight loss that lowers the BMR even further?

    Portion and what type of food are the best for meals? Cereal and milk vs turkey bacon and kale spinach omelet? Over 60, bad hip, currently trying to lose another 50 lbs but I am at a stall again. Do you have any recommendations on protein, carbs, etc to shoot towards. Currently my calories are 1200 a day. I do enjoy salad and either make my own dressing or buy Walden's dressing.

    1200 cal/day base. Use some of extra, exercise-induced cals; not all. Losing 1lb/wk. What do I need to do to increase lb/wk? Already added blueberries and spinach to my a.m. smoothie as has been suggested.
