Also in Aus and I really like Musashi 100% whey protein. It’s the best tasting one I have tried personally, I buy it from Chemist Warehouse

Asides from lowering body fat overall I would say what’s made the biggest difference for me: -transverse abdominal focused workouts twice a week -stomach vacuums regularly - not eating specific food that I know makes me bloat (onions/cabbage for me) - Coolsculpting/fat freezing for lower stomach (although this is kinda…

I don’t find potatoes filling, but I’m pretty sure they are talking about plain boiled potatoes with no additives. They are a lot easier to eat with butter and cream

40 pounds in 2 months seems like a massive drop, how much weight have you got to lose?

Fitness blender is great

Calorie counting is not an exact science anyway, remember loads of people are able to lose weight without counting every single calorie to the gram so try to not obsess :)

Do you really not add any oil or sauce or anything? Very easy way to add needed calories right there and definitely agree with the others on more produce

I feel like so many people naturally eat this way anyway haha. I wouldn’t say 8pm to 12noon fasts is out of the ordinary for a lot of people. Growing up my Dad was a factory worker who only ate dinner everyday, no meals at work, only coffee in the morning (only cigarette breaks at work) and he was overweight most of his…

Loads of people don’t count veggie calories and still lose ( in fact lots of people don’t count ANY calories and still lose) BUT MFP is designed for you to count everything and that definitely includes veggies as they certainly contain calories and as other have mentioned can take up a decent portion of your day. I count…

Overnight oats - oats, yoghurt, almond milk, whey protein, chia seeds, cacao powder, superfood seed mix, blueberries and strawberries and honey 650 calories roughly

I could never do this myself but tbh I know of people irl who eat this way un-intentionally. I have 2 family members, one who I’ve lived with, who will go out for meals and eat 1000’s of calories and then just not be hungry for the next day or just have low appetites most of the time but then will have a massive feed. And…

I had lots of trouble at the beginning as well it takes a bit of work! I also have a posterior tongue tie which makes it very hard. Try swallowing correctly by only using your tongue and not other facial muscles you should feel the back of your tongue on the roof of your mouth. Also check out Mike Mew on YouTube if you…

Can I just say mewing is just using correct tongue and body posture and definitely will make a difference in your jaw and face appearance if done correctly. This is my before and after mewing about 3 months

Eating too much fruit can definitely put you over your calories though, I know I could easily add an extra few hundred calories a day over my tdee just from fruit!

I hear this about rice all the time but I’ve been batch cooking it in my rice cooker for about 2 years now, making enough for 5-6 nights and putting it all into a glass container, letting cool on the bench before refrigerating and have never had food poisoning?

OP this is a calorie counting website and the regular posters here get very vocal with regards to calories being the only and most important thing that causes weight loss (which is true) and anyone who mentions things like carbs or keto and the like will get a heap of people coming in telling them that “calories are all…

I know for me when I have higher calorie days, especially a few in a row, I have way more energy and thus start moving more. I also notice if I’m eating too low or have been in a deficit for too long my energy is drained and I’m moving much slower so it could be that you are increasing your calories out

I love pukka teas! Not sure if you have it in the US though. As everyone else has said they do nothing for “detoxing” but they do include different herbs and things that could have some health benefits. I like valerian tea at night and have a few other varieties for during the day, mainly ones with licorice

I hardly eat steak as I don’t know how to cook it right but when I do I will do something like rib eye which I know is super high calorie per gram and have a smaller amount with lots of veggies and no other fat source or a bigger portion of a leaner cut and add other things to it like maybe avocado or sauce of some kind. I…

You could try Cronometer

I went through a period of my life where I was using a certain highly addictive class A drug, whenever I read threads like this I always think anyone who believes food of any kind is as addictive as class A drugs has never used class A drugs. I’ve known many drug addicts and let me tell you none of them are choosing sugar…

Thank you so much! It has been a very difficult time that’s for sure, especially as we have been together since I was 18 so 8 years in total and very nervous about being on my own! Thanks for everyone’s advice I am just going to keep doing my own thing and not worry what other think

I would also recommend Bret. He has his book Glute lab and his Instagram, bear in mind he’s kind of an *kitten* though. Also I like Mark Carrol Lon Instagram and Lauren Simpson for Glute stuff they are all very knowledgeable. For growing glutes you need to be targeting the muscle using a hypertrophy training program while…

Whilst I don’t think it’s necessary at all to carefully measure and weigh your intake in order lose/maintain/gain I do think if your going to use MFP you should try and a bit more precise or your not using the app the way it’s intended and probably not going to get results. I feel if it’s too much effort for you to…

We have an obesity problem in Australia too but the corona virus is no where near as out of control as it is in the US I think mainly because of the way our government handled it

Oh definitely. Peoples TDEE’s vary wildly even when weight, height and activity levels are similar. Even my own can be affected by so many things, I have actually found when I’ve been through stressful and anxious times my TDEE increases (funnily enough) and since going on anti depressants for anxiety my tdee seems to have…

I am slightly taller at 5’4 weigh 125 pounds approximately and maintain between 1900-2100 calories depending how active I am. My tracking is extremely accurate though I weigh and log everything that goes into my mouth down to the gram and track my weight and calories using a TDEE spreadsheet. Sometimes I wonder if people…

I started making bone broth at home a few years ago and reading all the supposed health benefits which I now believe are overhyped. I started using it as a base to soups/stews/curries etc and found using the homemade stuff made my cooking taste SO much better! I haven’t been able to go back to store bought because of this…

I accidentally started eating vegetarian/plant based when I first moved out of home at 18 and had no idea how to cook so I was basically living off oats/fruit, peanut butter sandwiches and frozen veggies with instant noodles. I started getting bad pain in my legs, trouble sleeping and lethargy so got a blood test which…

I am 5’4 weigh between 55-60 kg or 125-133 pounds approximately. I lift weights 5 x a week no cardio (bad I know) and have a somewhat active job (on my feet most of the time but not overly strenuous), weigh all my food to the gram and track everything that goes in my mouth and I maintain on 2050-2100 TDEE just for…
