Cooking turned my life around
My life has bern turned around by cooking reguralry. I'm puting the post in this forum as opposed to the nutrition one because I want to emphasise the benefits in terms of weight loss and not the benefits in terms of nutrition. Here's where I currently am. I lost with the help of MFP several years ago all the weight I…

I'm Back
The story of my life...I never lose the weight...I just seem to misplace it. I always seem to eventually find it again. So I am back for another attempt to lose it for good this time.

Meal kits and weight loss?
Has anybody been using meal delivery kits in their weight loss journey? I’ve been using EveryPlate, personally. It’s nice to just be able to plug it into the app and know what I’m eating each week? Plus it’s relatively cheap compared to buying things I won’t end up using anyway
Hello!
I'm Jim, a 79 year-old veteran retiree. I have right side heart failure, in large part because of severe obesity: 410 pounds. I had become unable to do, well, almost anything. I began to make changes very slowly, and with very little input. Mostly from a nutritionist on the telephone: Pandemic. The beginning issues for me…

And why am I not surprised by this story? https://newsweek.com/artificial-sweetner-sucralose-dna-damage-1804008 I mean seriously, how many times have we found out eventually that man-made food ingredients do more harm than good? Funny thing, there is a simple way to determine (though not definitively) if something is okay…

Asian Recipes That Fit Macros - Survey
When I was weight lifting regularly, I found myself hating most of the recipes that were recommended on weight lifting forums. I love cooking and could be described as a “foodie” so eating chicken and broccoli variations with little flavor was incredibly depressing. I ended up creating a huge spreadsheet of my favorite…
Are there foods you avoid for weight loss/maintaining?

soft foods
Hi, I have a rare disease that causes a lot of facial pain. Some times I can't eat anything that requires chewing. I recently had a 8 week flareup which made me lose 14 pounds. I am worried it screwed up my metabolism. When I couldn't chew, I ate soft foods and there was not a lot of variety. I am such a picky eater. I…

From not using MFP (and eating too much, I take the blame). Back again because I know it is successful. This time I opted for the premium…

Recipe Pet Peeve.
My apologies in advance. Mini rant: You know what is an awesome cooking tip? Only rating and praising an online recipe after you've made and/or tried the recipe. It drives me insane when scouring blogs, forums, websites, etc looking for a recipe, to read the reviews on a highly rated recipe, only to see comment after…
