in Health and Weight Loss
Why is it that I eat so clean and do not lose oodles of weight and some that eat garbage do lose? Boggles my mind.

    Because clean eating doesn't give you any advantage pertaining to weight loss provided equal calorie consumption in comparison.

    I would add that everyone has a different metabolism. I'm pretty sure that it, has something to do with it as well.....

    "clean" is meaningless(no offense) weight loss is all about caloric intake versus calories burned.

    Wrong. Muscle is heavier than fat. *wink*

    Wrong, muscle is denser than fat.

    A pound is a pound is a pound.

    I just looked over your diary. You have your daily calorie goal set at 1700. Why aren't you eating all of your calories? If you're going by MFP's recommended calorie intake for your activity level, eating 1400 calories might be causing you to stop losing weight because you're not eating enough. If you're just not hungry, you can supplement your calorie intake by drinking meal replacement or protein shakes. They're easy enough to drink really quickly when you don't have an appetite. Make sure you're exercising, too... But also be aware that heavy exercise is a very effective appetite suppressant. Try eating all of your calories and see if it makes a difference. Good luck to you :flowerforyou:

    Actually a pound of muscle weighs the same as a pound of fat. Muscle is denser than fat.

    If you workout often, you may need to bump up your calories. Certain people can drop weight quickly, and the more you have to lose the easier that weight comes off but the last 20 are the hardest to lose. Keep that in mind and try not to be too hard on yourself. Also I agree, seeing a doctor or nutritionist may help. Good luck!

    Does anyone actually think a pound of anything weighs more than a pound of anything else? Seriously. Announce yourself here.
