no no no... don't cut back on exercise....like when i really wanna lose weight i take in about 900cal a day and i burn about 1000 cal at the gym each day....and the results are great....i don't really follow what people say on eating to less cal or exercising too much..i think its all a myth.... you have to figure out how you body works....like if i consume 1200 cal a day as MFP advise me to do i barley see any weight change.. probably 1 kg in a month..it takes forever..try changing you diet and exercise a bit less and consume less and see how it goes...

this ......is just plain bad advice. Sorry to be so harsh, but look at what you are saying, first you say that when you want to lose weight you do negative calorie diets (you burn more calories with exercise alone than you take in in food, not to mention maintenance calories, this is very unhealthy) then you called something that has worked for thousands of people on MFP a myth, without giving any reason, then you call 1/2 lb per week "barley any weight change" which, is straight up false, especially for someone who is not obese. Essentially you're saying "MFP doesn't work, my way works and everyone following MFP is wrong".

well that's just how it works for me....if you wanna be model thin you'd rather lose 1-2kgs per week.....n please i said MFP works but it takes forever

Really? You really just put this out there for the world to see? This is so unhealthy I can't even speak on it. Look, amphetamines are a great weight loss tool too, but there's a reason why we don't recommend them. You are free to do what you wish, but advising someone else of an extremely unhealthy way to lose weight is both irresponsible and just plain rude in my opinion, not to mention you basically put MFP down with your comments.

well you or normal people might say its unhealthy...but in professions of acting, modeling that's all normal for us.....you can see the results in biggest lossers. how they workout so much and eat less cal and lose like 50-80 kg in 5months....they get checked by the doctors.... we do as well and trust me they say theres nothing wrong with it if you do it for s short period of time

Number one, Who are you modeling for? Are you modeling enough to pay your bills with it?- If no, then your not a real model. Just because some guy ook pics of you and you have a portfolio doesn't make you a model.

Yes thin is the standard but every agent that repersented me, btw a REAL model for abercrombie, CK, and D &G, but healthy eating and training is pushed so hard. When I was younger and actively modeling I was in teh gym for 3 hours a day and eating over 4000 calories.

You can say what ever you want about starving yourself but if you are going to promote anerxia then mfp is not a place for you.

Today actually looks pretty good. I'd encourage a fruit/vegetable in every meal and at least some protein in all of your meals as well.

Thanks, I've just had a massive dinner, but I've been really quite drastically under quite a few times recently so I'm hoping it will all balance out!

Replace you rworkout cals, more protien, less processed and only workout once or twice a day.

I didn't read through all 4 pages, so I apologize if this has already been suggested!

My suggestion is that you make sure your carbs are healthy carbs - from fruits, vegetables, dairy, and whole grains. Avoid starchy foods (instead of regular potatoes eat sweet potatoes, instead of white rice eat brown rice, instead of breads/cakes/crackers/pasta made from white flour switch to whole grain/whole wheat products). The starchy carbs have little in the way of nutrients and fiber and protein, etc. while the whole grain/whole products have more and often have lower carb counts as well.

Are you getting enough fiber? You should get 25g a day, minimum. More if you exercise.

Also make sure your sodium intake is not too high. High sodium intake leads to water retention.

Please don't follow this advice!! Totally unhealthy!! Please people really educate yourself before giving unhealthy advice to others!!! Just because it works for you does not mean it is healthy or safe!

ive noticed you lunch always has a lot of elements... simplify. you'll be getting more wholesome nutrients. i like eating simple foods. fresh fruit & nuts with some cottage cheese or yogurt is a great filling lunch.

I disagree. I don't think food has to be plain to be heatlhy. There is absolutely no reason you can't have 15 things combined to make a heatlhy, nutritious meal.

I make very delicious dishes with many components and ingredients. I log every single one of them and I'm losing quite nicely. Sometimes though, my log is two pages long. Who cares as long as the food is wholesome and fits your goals?

Had to add my experience-- my friends' diary entries are so SHORT. Each of my meals is usually 10 items long. Thanks for reminding us that short doesn't always mean good.

Very true! The entries that are one thing per meal are often very processed foods, while the entries that are 10 items long can be great combinations of foods likes fruits and veggies and protein.

Agreed! Take salad for example.
