    A to the MEN!! It is all about nutrition...forget the diet...eat good, clean, food and your body will use it as fuel as it is supposed to when you get out on the trails or hit the gym! It is not rocket science...it is the way to get healthy...forget about skinny!

    Being over weight n reading how it's all about cal in vs out its hard to eat. I use mfp but not properly. I am this girl I'm suppose to be eating 1500 I aim most days by habit for 1300 just I case a measurement was off or a munched a bit without logging properly. Just leave my self a window. Then I exercise resistance circuit training n running 6 days a week. I don't eat back these cal. Plus I have an active lab and a crazy 2 yr old. With almost 1 month of activity n watching I have lost 1 lb!!!

    -it's hard to eat more when ur told over n over to eat less to loose!
    - even reading this I can feel anxiety about eating those cal that I feel I put so much work into loosing.

    Same. I expected OP to be shredded into pieces for nearly every single point of these. Funny how time changes public belief. Wonder what MFP will look like if we fast forward 5 years.

    Eat clean, eat breakfast, fire up the metabolism...nah. IIFYM sensibly and intermittent fasting works for some too.

    This is awful. I was about to go off, clutching my pearls and all. Then I looked at the date. My how far we've come with information in just a few short years!

    I don't know... I think a lot of that was bro-science even back then. It was just four years ago, not forty!

    Good post you got there!! I've been recommended by MFP to stay on 1200cal if I want to lose weight, not sure it's all that effective as you mentioned.. I'm 5'3 and weigh 141lb, I want to drop to 125lb. Do you suggest I increase my intake close to 2000 cal? With the right foods of course
    Thanks !

    From what i have read exercise wont make you lose weight but will change the shape of your body. I dont know myself as i read a lot of conflicting info

    Hello. Thanks so much for this post. I have been battling with my weight for years. I will lose the weight, then slowly gain it back. I will definitely take your advice mentioned in this post. I'm going to worry more about inches instead of pounds lost. Thanks again.
