Alcohol will derail you ... stay off it while you want to lose and use moderation when maintaining. IMHO anyway.

Drinking allows one to go on adventures. Adventures burn calories. It's a fact. In fact, it's Science.

cute
deficit is deficit, quality of food is a choice.0 -
Alcohol is a bit different. Your body will metabolize the alcohol before ANYTHING else. Therefore while you're drinking and your body is metabolizing the alcohol, you won't lose anything and everything in excess will be stored as fat.

I don't know how to make a picture of a food diary page. If anyone knows can you please tell me? Also if you know how to copy a page's contents to another day. Because I entered this as tomorrow since today is pre-logged, but now that I see it I kind of want to eat this days' worth of Big Mac's and Donuts on Friday.

I think they mean they are going to give it up AFTER Germany and Ireland. At least I hope so.0 -

I had to quote because that is a beautiful donut. Also, you can do a screen shot, and then save it to photobucket or wherever you save your pics.0 -
Maybe, but would one Big Mac and 1.5 donuts satisfy you for a whole day?0

There's that guy who ate Twinkies and lost. I think my problem would be that it simply wouldn't be enough food to keep me full! The volume donuts would be nothing compared to all the veg and whole grains, etc, with a similar number of calories. Aside from the obvious nutrition factor, I think it would be hard to NOT eat over on the calories.0

That was not a dumb question. Health benefits aside I agree that you can lose fat eating whatever you choose, but I suggest you put 1600cal of fast food (or whatever convenience food items you like) beside 1600cal of more nutrient dense foods like plain potatoes, steamed vegetables, and leaner protein options. Once you have done that look at both and ask yourself which one you think is easier to stay full on? It takes a little more will power to stick to a nutrition plan that is comprised of a lot of the less healthy options. As you get closer and closer to your goal I suspect you will need to either drop the calories or add more exercise. Starting to work on choosing nutrient dense options might prove to be helpful. Even a dumbell like me figured out how to cook those options so they taste ok. Notice I didn't say great?
Lower carb plans are just a fancy way to get your calories lower. Most of us get bored eating vegetables, so we naturally end up eating less. Plus they are so low in calories that even if you do sit down and eat a giant serving it really does not lead to much. Low carb works wonderful for me, but many do not like it.
As for the alcohol q, that sounds like you already knew the answer. Empty calories. My adventures seemed to lead to stupid chit anyways, but I am old now.0 -
