20. Skinny Habit #1: Eat an early dinner:
-false. What time you eat is irrelevant. WHAT you eat is what counts.
19. Skinny Habit #2: Weigh yourself daily:
-This can be helpful or a hinderence. Many here believe measurements are better, as the scale does not account for recomposition.
18. Skinny Habit #3: Eat a boring diet:
-Variety is the spice of life. I find more success varying my foods and fitting 'unhealthy' foods into my macros.
17. Skinny Habit #4: Reward yourself:
- Sure I guess...
16. Skinny Habit #5: Read diet and exercise tips:
-Or hop on the MFP forums. Lots of awesome people here, some with some knowledge. And it's free.
15. Skinny Habit #6: Eat breakfast:
-Big myth. See what I wrote for #1.
14. Skinny Habit #7: Take snack breaks:
-Sure, if it fits your macros. Not everyone needs to snack. I do, but I wouldn't push it on people.
13. Skinny Habit #8: Drink water:
-Good advice.
12. Skinny Habit #9: Order a la carte:
-Makes sense. But it doesn't fit into the 'boring diet' described above.
11. Skinny Habit #10: Choose whole grains:
-If it fits your marcos. I have found that whole grains are more filling than bleached/enriched stuff. So this is a decent takeaway I guess.
10. Skinny Habit #11: Eat spicy food:
-I can't speak to this. Could be true, could be malarky. I think we can use our willpower and minds to make smart choices without having to use spices to trick ourselves.
9. Skinny Habit #12: Sleep for 6 to 8 hours each night :
-Sleep = good
8. Skinny Habit #13: Manage stress:
-Sure why not.
7. Skinny Habit #14: Take the stairs:
-This is a sneaky way to creat a calorie deficit. If you are tracking well and understand your TDEE, additional 'sneaky' exercise is not necessary.
6. Skinny Habit #15: Chew thoroughly:
-Meh, still a self-control issue IMO
5. Skinny Habit #16: Walk after meals:
-See #7
4. Skinny Habit #17: Keep healthy food on hand:
-Duh.
3. Skinny Habit #18: Learn to take a joke:
-This is incredibly misleading. Laughing is still part of your TDEE. I don't think it will have an effect on your weight. Positive outlooks are great though, and I highly encourage them.
2. Skinny Habit #19: Eat protein:
-The first REAL source of food advice so far. And worthwhile.
1. Skinny Habit #20: Avoid dinner distractions:
-Still a matter of IIFYM and self-control. Just because I eat dinner while playing with my 8 month old and dog doesn't mean I overeat.

This article gets a 2/10 - but thanks for posting.
Hmmm, i don't see the need to criticize the OP's info, at all. A lot of the things you reply "duh" to, are NOT BEING DONE by some ppl, and this advice can help inspire them. You seem to feel as if self-control is just a given, no inspiration needed. This doesn't seem to be true for everyone on MFP, Peuglow.
See, there are ppl who are struggling to learn new tips, new ideas to help them develop better health habits that they can live with forever, not just to lose weight as a fad diet, but trying to make an overall healthy lifestyle change permanently.
The fact that *you* personally can play with a dog while eating, and not overeat might not be true of everyone, but, sometimes it is hard to imagine that one person is different than your own self, or faces different challenges, different goals, than you yourself are working on. but whatever.
The OP here is buff as heck, and can do squats while holding 100lb weights, and anything SHE says, i listen!! This post can help some ppl. None of her ideas, (many are even backed by research) are unhealthy.
If this doesn't work for whatever you are trying to do with your body, fine, but why mock someone who is trying to help others? Wha, does that make you feel smart or something?
but sure, you are free to mock someone trying to help others or sharing what works for her, if that makes you feel smart(?) to mock ppl trying to help others or sharing health tips that HAVE worked for them....0 -
Thank you for sharing this information with all of us. And as always there will be some that bully for posting. Pay no attention, it has good tips and doesn't say anywhere that you have to do ALL of them. Pick and choose what works for you. :drinker:
yeah, i so agree:drinker: :drinker:0 -
Sorry, I did not mean to come off as mocking. I was merely talking about the article, and not the poster at all.
There's just a lot of disinformation out there. Relax, I'm not trying to flame this post, just offering my opinion/advice.0 -
Nice list, makes sense to me.
yeah, it IS all nonharmful, healthy tips to consider.0 -
These are great tips! I've heard of few of them, and many others are new to me... I'll have to try them out. Thanks for posting this!
yeah, me too, some new ones for me to consider, as i struggle to return to a healthier lifestyle.0 -
The not eating late thing always makes me laugh. To me, it seems logical that people who eat late have waited longer to eat after their most recent meal (lunch, for example). They are likely to be experiencing greater hunger, and therefore eat more, than a person who has waited less time between meals. Their calorie intake is higher because their hunger is greater ergo they are more likely to consume an excess. Nothing to do with the time you eat at, just the time between meals!0

bump. this is great!
yeah, lots of healthy ideas that might inspire someone. One good healthy move, can lead to yet another...and another........one step at a time, back to health.0 -
Thank you and I agree with these. A lot of it is common sense too!!
struck me as pretty sensible stuff, too!0 -
Thanks so much for posting! I think they are some really great ideas, and I will be using them!
yeah, some of these i have heard before, but have never tried them yet. I am willing to consider all healthy ideas to keep me on track!!0 -
When I started to do a majority of these things, I started losing weight, and have easily maintained.
this is good to know, that these ideas can help a person.0 -
If you'd consider all healthy ideas, then why get so mad when someone posts some that are contradictory?Thanks so much for posting! I think they are some really great ideas, and I will be using them!

seemed sensible to ME too...0 -
Regardless of what the negative nancy's say on here - thanks for posting. Definitely encourages a conversation (though I can do without the RAWRRRR YOUR WRONG!!!! posts). It's nice to read different perspectives and helpful hints on how to shake things up.

While I thank you for posting what you see as good advice, most of it is stuff that a person doesn't have to do. The vast majority (if not all) of the studies cited are epidemiological studies, all they show is correlation not causation. They can indicate where further clinical studies should be done, but in themselves do not prove that the particular thing mentioned achieved the results. To lose weight a person must eat at a reasonable calorie deficit, all the other stuff mentioned could be valuable for an individual if it helps them to maintain that calorie deficit, but those things listed will not do that for many people.
I will take the breakfast one for example. That is likely talking about eating upon rising from bed. I don't do that because when I do I will run out of calories by the end of the day, and still be hungry. Not eating upon waking up has not hurt my losses at all. Why? The answer is clear, it is because I count calories, and eating the way I do helps me stay within my calorie goals.
Similarly for eating at night. There is not some magic time when food consumed becomes fat. I eat many of my calories in the 3-4 hours before going to bed because I sleep better with a full stomach. By the way that is not true for some people in particular those with reflux. Again, doing so has had no negative affect on my weight loss because I stay within my calories. The problem with the epidemiological study was it simply looked said the problem was eating at night where the problem is really eating too many calories. If I am done my calories at 3 pm, then I stop eating. If I still have calories at 9 pm, I eat.
I really think that you (and others) are missing the point, of the post, sir...The fact of the matter is...If you are currently experiencing adverse weight problems...It would be highly unlikely and understandable that you would not have cultivated many of these habits ...This list only tells you what is happening.among people with no weight problem. Why It happens is subject to personal interpretation by the individuals involved.
The value of the list is in trying to figure out why these things may be working for so many people who do not have weight problems...not whether this behavior is right or wrong. ..Somebody mentioned common sense...that is an excellent place to start. From a common sense standpoint...What are these habits? 1.Regular meal times 2. Constantly monitoring their weight 3. Eat only what you know the caloric value for 4.Setting goals 5.Reading ,listening and learning ...etc etc. etc...How can you argue with that?

Sounds mad to me, saying that I was trying to feel smart, I was criticizing, and that I wasn't considering other people's feelings/experiences etc.Hmmm, i don't see the need to criticize the OP's info, at all.

Just because I offer counterpoints doesn't mean I'm mean, or have some kind of complex. Also, it's bad form to respond to EVERYONE in a thread, mainly because it makes it excessively long.0 -

Wow...I just posted some great tips that i read that I think are helpful. Hopefully this information is taken in that light. With anything, take out the meat and throw away the bones if you don't agree. This article was a helpful reminder for me and I thought I'd share it with others who might find these tips helpful. I really didn't post this to start a debate or discussion on what's right and what's wrong.
Cheers and i wish each and every one of you the best in your weight loss/maintenance journey.
i hear you, but, MFP is full of ppl who enjoy polemics, even if someone says common sense ideas, given in the spirit of being helpful, somebody will feel a need to disagree. rofl!0 -

My main issue is with the disinformation that was in the original article. Not an attack on the OP or you for that matter. Some of the things in there are just false, like breakfast and late dinners.
All these rules muddy up what REALLY matters in weight loss/gain.0 -

ah, to me, using the word "duh" IS a form of mocking someone else's remark, and has a slightly mean tone to that reply, IMO. But perhaps for you, saying 'duh' has some other meaning to you.
I feel free to reply to any post i wish, whether it pleases you or not. Didn't realize MFP had a thread length limit.0 -
No, it definitely doesn't, it just makes it hard for us to read along with the comments.
Anyway, I think there was some good information in there, Just take everything with a grain of salt.
And the OP wasn't written by the poster, it was an article she copied. Good luck on your weight loss journey, I hope you find some great infomation!

I've never been overweight. My responses:
20. Skinny Habit #1: Eat an early dinner:
Nope, doesn't matter what time you eat.
19. Skinny Habit #2: Weigh yourself daily:
Can't hurt, but several times a week is OK>
18. Skinny Habit #3: Eat a boring diet:
AGREE. Variety may be the spice of life, but it is the downfall of dieters.
17. Skinny Habit #4: Reward yourself:
But not with cheat days.
16. Skinny Habit #5: Read diet and exercise tips:
Of course.
15. Skinny Habit #6: Eat breakfast:
Nope, doesn't matter.
14. Skinny Habit #7: Take snack breaks:
Nope. You should eat when you're hungry and not eat beyond your calorie max. No enforced breaks for food.
13. Skinny Habit #8: Drink water:
Not sure it really matters.
12. Skinny Habit #9: Order a la carte:
Not sure I agree. Some people go overboard.
9. Skinny Habit #12: Sleep for 6 to 8 hours each night :
They claim it is important. Certainly you feel better if you'r e well-rested. Although there was an article in the New York Times yesterday saying that human beings did not always sleep for 8-hour stretches and naps are fine or may be better.
8. Skinny Habit #13: Manage stress:
We all do what we can, right?
7. Skinny Habit #14: Take the stairs:
I usually take the stairs. Some people will look at you as if you were crazy.
5. Skinny Habit #16: Walk after meals:
I think activity is what matters, not when you do it.
4. Skinny Habit #17: Keep healthy food on hand:
No-brainer.
3. Skinny Habit #18: Learn to take a joke:
But about the myth of the "jolly fat man"? A sense of humor and perspective are good for everyone.

This article gets a 2/10 - but thanks for posting.
I think you should write your own tips, because I agreed with you more than the original post. (and I didn't see where you were being rude at all)
#1-I rarely eat before 7-730, it just doesn't happen with my schedule. I'm happy to see people who are contradicting this one
#2- I stress over the scale too much when it goes up at all and that makes me want to throw in the towell, so it's so much better for me to not weigh daily
#3- totally disagree with this one. I think having a variety keeps me from overindulging.
#8- 'duh' actually went thru my head with this one. lol and Duh is just an expression used when the obvious is being stated....
#20- I usually get up and down about 6 times per meal. lol
(and I know my ticker shows I've only lost like two lbs, but this isn't my first rodeo)
edit: typo0 -
^Thanks! Most of my info comes from other places, I'm merely a vessel lol0

i probably shouldn't say this, as i am posting on the polemic world of MFP forums (shiver!) but, so far as the mantra "you are not different" i do disagree somewhat. Which always always causes an entire hailstorm of outrage if someone doesn't buy that idea 100%.
When i was younger, for decades and decades, if i wanted to, (and sometimes i did) i COULD pretty much eat whatever i wanted.
I was always slim/muscular. Some years i ate healthy, just to be healthy, some years, i ate junk. (long story). Either way, i was buff. Some years i was into exercise, some years, i didn't. Either way, i was buff and strong. Kind of naturally.
Some of my pals had to severely restrict their calorie intake much much lower than mine to stay anywhere near their ideal body weights, even though some of them participated in far more exercise than i did.
our metabolims WERE different. They used to watch me eat sometimes huge quantities of food in awe, as i sat there in a size 4/6 outfit, not a care in the world.
we were NOT the same.
another example, you say you can play with the dog, not focus much on your meal, and not overeat. Not everyone is capable of that yet. Maybe some can, but some might overeat, by not paying att'n to how much they ARE eating.
cuz
People's att'n spans vary from one person to another. Some ppl have a twitter level of att'n span, and can't read a long post, or find it 'difficult' to read threads with too many posts,
while some people enjoy reading entire books.:drinker:
certainly we humans have much in common, but, like any other mammal, there can be differences in what one needs to eat. At a zoo where some pals of mine work, there are two tigers, both get about the same amount of exercise, but one of the tigers has to be fed much less to avoid obesity, the other one eats a lot more.
My pal has two dogs, one eats TWICE what the other one eats, yet both dogs are fit and get about same amt of exercise.
but yeah, sure, no one is 'unique'...sure. (ducks, as i know, on MFP, that idea, 'we are all just the same' is wildly popular accepted meme, but, i've SEEN the differences that two very similar mammals CAN have, in what they need to stay fit).0
