Also at the age of 30, a pulse of 50 probably isn't even bradycardic... I'd consider that within the range of normal.

It sounds like you are just making excuses. You have seen two doctors who have told you that this is not an issue, one of whom was a cardiologist. The third doctor will tell you the same thing. At some point you've got to decide: either choose to lose weight or choose to be obese. Sodium is not a chronotropic substance…

Yeesh, so much silliness in this thread. 1). OP is correct, it is entirely possible to be overweight or obese and malnourished, even without "dieting". In fact most morbidly obese people are clinically malnourished. 2). A 1.5 year lack of menses in someone not dieting is not explained by malnutrition. You SHOULD see a…

Eat less.

I usually just add fractions of a serving until the calories match. Sometimes I log 1.2 pitas or 3.45 baby carrots, etc. I want the food and the calories to match and I don't sweat the macros or micros.

You want to plug in the outcome and have it give you the route, is that it? Try this: http://www.niddk.nih.gov/research-funding/at-niddk/labs-branches/LBM/integrative-physiology-section/body-weight-simulator/Pages/body-weight-simulator.aspx

Is my ferritin low? When will my energy return/anemia resolve? Will they have to remove my uterus? How long until my iron levels are normal? Did my anemia raise my blood pressure? These are all medical questions for your doctor that I extracted from reading the post. Nobody here can answer them for you.

This is true, but the conversation had moved on a bit over 3 pages. My response was to the quoted person, not the OP, just to clarify for future readers.

I do the same. At the end of the day, you can't find an entry for everything. My strategy is generally to log a fast food equivalent, since they are usually the "worst" for you. Ie. If a friend gives me a muffin, I'll log it as from Tim Hortons or Dunkin Donuts. Go out to a local place for burgers? Log it as Mcdonalds.…

We take gallbladders out of lots of kids these days in fact.

Yes, there is a correlation between female sex, obesity, and gallstones. Any nutrition expert would know this.
-
For weight loss, it doesn't matter. Period. This is easily proved by fasting. If you consume zero nutrients, you will lose weight. It is not healthy to consume zero healthful substances. Ergo, it is possible to lose weight without a healthy diet.
-
You're right, not just Twinkies. I've been insisting for YEARS that Duncan Hines Family Style Brownie Chewy Fudge is the secret to health and weight loss and nobody believed me. What say ye now, skeptics!?
-
What if I have 20-30 pounds to lose? That too much? [/quote] 2 lbs per week is perfectly safe.
-
Agreed. Muscle takes about 13 calories per pound per day to maintain. If you've already been lifting (ie. you're not a beginner), you could naturally gain about 10-15 lbs of muscle per year. A year from now, your maintenance could increase by a whopping 195 calories per day, so you could liberalize your diet to the tune of…

Some of the verified entries are bona fide crap too. I saw a verified entry last week of "Chinese Buffet, 1 plate" at 1000 calories. Yep, I bet that's 100% accurate.
-
I don't believe this to be true. You DO know what to do. Go do it.
-
To some degree, this doesn't really matter as long as the scale is equally wrong every time you use it. Whether it is adding or subtracting weight is irrelevant, so long as the error is the same every time. You should care that your scale is precise, not so much that it's accurate.

Stopped reading here, and everyone else should have too.

Agreed!

To be blunt - sorry - your problem, exemplified here, is your attitude, not your ability. If you want to lose weight you need to commit to a lifestyle change. A healthy lifestyle includes donuts, but does not including binge eating because of donuts. If the problem was excessive hunger, then you wouldn't be thrown off by…
-
@velveteen7845 You may disagree, but you will be wrong. I'm sorry, that's just the way it is. You lost weight eating healthy foods; the fact that you lost weight confirms that ate less calories than you used to. You could have lost the same weight eating the same junk food, just less of it. While this is a strategy that…

I guess I was unclear... I just move from location to location within a single city, not moving all over the country or anything like that!
-
Lots of people have gallstones and gallstones alone don't require treatment. They are not a reason to avoid (rapid) weight loss.
-
It's probably a combination of factors. It's possible for you to be losing fat while not losing weight due to water retention - a few salty, carb-dense days will do that. Then you get frustrated and cut calories which intrinsically reduces your sodium and carb intake, plus depletes your glycogen stores. BAM. You shed your…

I'm down to 195 from 260 in 9 months. My job moves me from place to place every 3-8 months and I recently moved from location A to location B, where people who I've known for 10 years didn't recognize me at first glance. Feels awesome!

Do some more reading, as you have fundamentally misunderstood the problem. Caloric volume, not caloric sources, are your problem. If doesn't matter what food you're eating, it matters how much of it you eat. If anything, dieting should be cheaper than not dieting.
