In spite of my sarcastic response above, you can definitely grill vegetables on top of meat, it's just not the best way to do it. For one, you will probably undercook the veg which are basically baking. Second, you will cook the meat unevenly since you can't really flip it. Third, you may contaminate your veg with bacteria…

Absolutely not are you crazy!?

I IF. I also eat a combination of paleo and non paleo foods 100% of the time, except when I'm not eating any food, which is 85% of the time, and it works 60% of the time every time.

You're the exception in that case, not the rule. That doesn't mean that the guidelines are inaccurate, it means that you don't fit the pattern. To draw an analogy, I might argue that speeding in your car is dangerous because it increases your risk of crashing. If a world champion race car driver pipes up and says "but I…

This is almost certainly glycogen associated water retention. If you diet consistently then you don't build up a reserve of glycogen (sugar stored in muscles and liver). Glycogen causes you to store an additional 3-5 lbs of water, since it's dissolved in water in your cells. If you take a break from dieting and eat at…

Obesity IS a disease according to the American Medical Association. By that definition, it is NOT possible to be obese and perfectly healthy. http://www.ama-assn.org/ama/pub/news/news/2013/2013-06-18-new-ama-policies-annual-meeting.page

I'm a physician and my call shifts can keep me in hospital for up to 30 hours straight. Intermittent fasting was the solution to my problems. Maybe look into that as an option.

Great post, agreed 100%. Kudos on a job well done!

You should search Google for a calorie counting app. I've heard that there are some good ones.

I bet you're hyponatremic.

Edited to delete my comment.

I don't understand what the mystery is here. You were told that you have a thyroid mass that is not functional and not malignant. You have a thyroid adenoma or cyst. This is not a medical mystery. Get re-tested if you like, but in the mean time, eat less. Guaranteed effective.

If you don't like being helped or instructed in fitness by fat people, WTF are you doing on this web forum - this forum is almost entirely advice from fat people! Go find board of fitness models instead.

All of those secretions etc are already part of your body weight, though I agree with the rest of what you're saying.

Not fast enough apparently.

Also, stop weighing yourself 3+ times per day. It's pointless, unless your goal is to maximize anxiety.

There is no good reason that you NEED to be 259 by tomorrow.

Metric is the present friend, the USA is livin' in the past!

You don't need to adjust anything really. There's no reason to believe that your home scale is 100% accurate. You want to results to be precise (meaning highly repeatable) rather than accurate (meaning objectively correct). As long as the numbers are going down, it doesn't really matter WHAT the number is.

This is simple math, friend. What is your maintenance, what is you deficit? For example, if maintenance if 3000 calories and your daily deficit is 500 calories, then you ate 3000 over maintenance; this will take 6 days of dieting to undo.

IF is not a diet; you don't need any meal plans or shopping lists. Eat what you currently do, at specific time intervals.

I dig it. I basically do the same (not in maintenence but 70 lbs down, 20 to go). It makes it way less "work". Kind of like Type 2 fun (Google it if curious).

And tell me, do children remain obese as adults because somebody continues to force feed them, or is that perhaps a result of their lifestyle choices?

I'm down 70.5 lbs in 301 days. I lost 37.4 of those pounds in the first 6 months. Starting weight (officially on MFP) was 258.4, 6 month weight of 221, current weight of 187.9. My weight loss "sped up" after 6 months which I attribute to a better adherence to my lifestyle changes and having a better cache of recipes and…

I agree with @Kalikel. Everyone should be mindful of the high probability that they will regain. Everyone who says "well that only applies to OTHER people and not to me" needs to remember one thing: you weren't born obese, you became that way through your choices. In other words, you've already failed once. If you couldn't…

This is an easy fix. Figure out your maintenance, then eat below that. Ta-da! Plateau broken. If you're consistently not losing weight, you're eating too much.

You can do physiotherapy guided exercise, or have surgery, or live with it. That's pretty much the extent of the treatment options.

15-20% dad bod at a healthy BMI is good enough for me. I'm no Olympic athlete or fashion model.

Deleted... think I misunderstood the post.

Medications MAY influence your metabolic rate and hence, in the absence of appropriate diet changes, change your weight gain/loss. It is a very small number of medications that do this, and they only do it because you haven't been consistently dieting (ie, haven't maintained the exact same surplus or deficit after starting…
