Has anyone done a no sugar diet? I've heard so many benefits but I definitely think I'd struggle with it

A Post For Anyone Who is Just Starting Out.
For anyone who is just starting their weight loss journey, I’d like to share this with you. I wish I would’ve seen this in the beginning of mine. One year ago, I made this post on MyFitnessPal looking for advice: “Hello everyone! I just joined my fitness pal today after my other efforts have not been working. However, I am…

Newish here! Need friends to motivate and be motivated
Mostly trying to get back to tracking what I eat, so I can see what I need to change, before starting to exercise. I'm super friendly and would like to become friends with people in the same boat, or people who have been there. I'm currently sitting at 300lbs, and I want to get healthier before getting pregnant again.
Sheet pan chicken with cauliflower and olives question
I'm new to this counting macros and I need help. I'm meal prepping the sheet pan chicken with cauliflower and olives under the recipes and it says it serves 4. How do I adjust it to 1 serving in my diary? Also how do I know how much 1 serving is??? 😫 thank you for your help.
Committing to a diet
Hi, this is my first time using the forum. I have exercised regularly for most of my life. However, I always struggle to commit to a diet. Recently, I’ve been eating a lot of crap food late at night and drinking a lot of beer. So, I wanna set some goals and make some changes. First, I’d like to lose a little weight, even…
Looking for fitness friends!
I really need to be held accountable as I find food is my biggest weakness when it comes to weight loss. I’d love to make some friends who would be willing to share recipes and plans that could come in handy. Thank you in advance! ❤️
Food over medication
Hello, I have been fit most all my life. An athelete in high school and college at about 165 lbs. Stabilized in my 30s around 180 lbs with running and resistance training (I was 5'11"). Now approaching 60 years old, I had a serious accident 3 years ago and ruptured L1, L2, L3 and L4. I am down to 5'9" and now up to 220…
My shorties, how much do y'all eat?
I'm 5'1 and 101 lbs. I've been slowly trying to up my calories/hover around maintenance. I'm eating about 1,700 calories (used to eat 1,500-1,600), lift 4x a week, and try to get my steps or light cardio in. Being short it's hard not to pack on the weight quick! Any tips for lean bulking without gaining too fast? I've…

Hoping to lose 20 pounds
I put on 20 pounds after the pregnancy. I found that my weight stays the same even though I am trying to eat a little bit less than before and be more active. I miss these days when I didn’t need to worry about my weight.
Update 3/18/23
Started out 2023 with weight up very high, highest I've been in years. Last fall my mother was in and out of the hospital 3 times from Sept to Dec 24. I'm a stress eater and combining that with the holidays lead to so much junk food being eaten at work and at home. It got to the point where I was always hungry. Started…

Midnight Bacon for Weight Loss & Budgeting/Recipe Ideas
Hi everyone! I am Angie and before we begin I apologize for my math as it is only meant to be ballpark and not really approximations. But on to why you clicked this.... When I lost the biggest amount of weight, I was keto and eating bacon at midnight. Yup, midnight bacon was a common term in my household at the time. By…

Hello! Nice to meet you!
I joined myfitnesspal to help track my macros. And to track my micros as well. Before I would plan out the day with pencil and paper. Very time consuming! Since using myfitnesspal, I have made significant progress in the gym. I have made it down to 16% body fat which I never thought I would have in my life. I enjoy…
More natural food, more weight loss?
I have observed one thing about "food type" and weight loss in my "regaining health" journey. The more natural the food (boiled, steamed, home cooked), the easier it is to lose weight. I lost pounds rapidly when I was eating this type of food. Then in the last couple of weeks, I switched to equally low calorie, but more…
Fasting
Does intermittent fasting work and how many hours should I start with?

Soy-Free Food Recommendations?
After 6 gruelling years of undiagnosed back pain and vomitting, I have finally discovered the source of my misery: soy intolerance. Some websites have mentioned some foods that don't contain soy, but they really aren't exhaustive. I hate cooking, so I tend to buy prepackaged meals. Does anyone else have soy intolerance and…
How much should I eat before morning lift?
I normally lift in the afternoon/evening but need to switch it for vacation. I've struggled with morning lifts before feeling weak. If I eat a 300 calorie breakfast, how long should I wait to lift? 1.5 hour? Do I need more or less? (I'm 101 lbs)
Preworkout breakfast recipes?
I normally workout in the afternoon so I need some good ideas that will fuel me up 3 hours before my lifting session without weighing me down. I was thinking greek yogurt parfait? I normally eat a light breakfast so not sure how much to eat. :)
Alpha-gal syndrome
I’m just curious if anyone else out there is having trouble managing enough protein with Alpha-gal. I also unfortunately have a fish intolerance as well as oral pollen allergy that prevents me from have fresh/raw fruits, vegetables and nuts. I would love to not have to rely on my vegan protein shake to ensure my required…
Any tips on increasing appetite?
Anyone have any tips on increasing appetite? Mine just isn’t here lately. Like I felt really full today and thought I did really well in terms of eating enough calories. Turns out it was less than 1200, and MFP suggests my goal should be 1800 per day. There’s no way I can cram 600 more calories into my body today, but how…

Increasing calories as you exercise more?
My doctor started me on a 1,200 calorie/day diet as I was very sedentary due to a severe back issue. My back is getting better and I have begun to do some moderate waliking 3-5 times a week. How do I know how many extra calories to add? Also, how much protein should I be striving for?
