I had to look up "naturopath". Do you go to her with things like broken bones?
No, it was for food intolerances but I think people do go to them for arthritis and things of that sort. Not sure about broken bones..0 -
Hi OP, I'm curious what your maintenance calories are and how much of a deficit 1,850 drives for you. Are you losing weight at 1,850 or at maintenance?0

What would you say are proper macros for me?
Protein :: 0.8 - 1.0 gr / pound of body weight
Fats :: 0.4 gr / pound of body weight (minimum)
Carbs can make up the remainder of your calories....
Carbs and Protein :: 1 gr == 4 calories
Fat :: 1 gr == 9 Calories0 -

Hey, Scale-wise I haven't lost in quite awhile like maybe over 6 months so I've been maintaining I suppose but I can tell I've lost in measurements but it's VERY slow progress. I got 1850 from TDEE less 20% calculation.0 -
