    Thanks everyone :) , I just don't no what other foods I'm allowed that's healthy , the food list I have is all I am ment to eat

    Is it a food list from your doctor? If so, discuss it with them and see what can be adjusted.


    If not, you're not limited on WHAT you eat, just how much. If you're short for the day, it's ok to have a couple of cookies or something that's high-calorie-but-low-nutrition, as long as you log it properly. You can up the amount of food you eat at meals, or work in a couple of snacks over the course of the day. You're not limited to how many times you eat, how much you eat at your eating times, or not eating within a certain time before bed. (actually, the last one can give you heartburn depending on what you eat, but has nothing to do with weight gain or loss) You can add things like nuts, which are calorie-dense, just as long as you weigh the portion and make sure you log it correctly. You don't have to do low-carb, organic, whole food, non-processed food, or anything like that. If you WANT to do one of those, that's up to you, but you don't HAVE to.

    I keep Dr. Pepper cans in the house because on exercise days, I tend to be short about 400 calories, even though I'm not that hungry at the end of the day. When that happens, I have a can of soda. Has no nutritional value, but gives me that extra little bit of calories that I need. And vera vera tasty!

    No I don't , its off a lady that I bought diet drops off you take the drops 3 times a day and follow a diet plan
    You are being taken advantage of.

    It would be a good idea to consult with your doctor or a nutritionist, instead of some hack pimping products off the internet.

    The diet I'm on I have a small list of food I'm allowed so i feel like I'm not eating enough but don't no what I can do with the foods I'm allowed . is there a way I can post a picture to show you ?

    If you give us the name of the diet, I'm sure that we'll be able to find the food list online. But it really does sound like you've been suckered into a plan like HCG or Resolution drops that aren't very healthy for you.

    Don't trust some random Facebook lady. Seriously. You don't need drops or this lady's special plan. Eat the amount MFP gives you. I promise that works.

    Listen to Jaga13. You don't need drops or limited foods.
    Weigh your food (whatever you like to eat; no restrictions) and enter it faithfully into your food diary. Limit yourself only to your daily calorie allotment as given by MFP. It works. Believe us.
    You won't be hungry, you'll be healthy and you'll lose weight. Promise.

    ETA: with only 9 lbs to lose, set your weight loss goal to 1/2 lb a week and eat the number of calories it gives you.

    And you checked this lady and the drops out to make sure they were safe, right? Do the drops have a name or is she just sitting in her garage and filling up bottles?

    If it looks too good to be true, it probably is. You have no way of knowing where those photos came from (they could have been grabbed from any website), what was done to those photos (i.e. Photoshop), or what those people actually did to lose weight/get in shape.

    Seconded. You need actual scientific studies before you can say yes, they work. There's a LOT of other factors that never get taken into the equation if you're trying to make your mirical (eff'n spellcheck, won't give me the suggestion i need!) diet thing look good. Ever seen the ads for the diet additives that say X pounds lost in a short time? In the small print it adds "with a balanced diet and exercise plan". Random drops from a lady on the internet are NOT going to make you magically lose weight. Even if she gives you a diet plan, she doesn't know you. Everyone needs a different diet; what works for some won't work for others. You're better off focusing on eating healthy and keeping your calorie count down then following someone else's plan. Use MFP and other calculators to find out what your daily calorie expenditure would be, take a % deficit off it, and stick with that. How you split it up or how you fill it is up to you. Just make sure you're getting the nutrition you need and you'll be fine.

    I tried looking at your diary but its blocked. Typically if your diet consists of high carb, low protein you constantly feel hungry. However if you up your protein intake to .8g x your body weight you will feel fuller longer. I was always hungry until I upped my protein intake, I didn't realize just how good it was for your diet. Now that I eat 40% Protein, 40% fat and fill the rest in with carbs, I am never hungry nor have cravings, I only eat out of necessity and I am constantly loosing

    The same website advertise "slim waist trainers", Colon cleanses and rasberry keytones.....Please throw away the drops, put your lost money down as school fees, and learn from your mistakes....NO drops, waist trainers, keytones or cleanses will help you lose weight - eating in a deficit will.....MFP works - follow it, try and eat food that fills you up and keeps you full, so lots of lean protein, good fats, fruit, veggies, whole grain, and allow yourself food you actually love.... If you lived on pizza before, cut down to a slice with lots of salad instead of a whole pizza.....
