Feel better soon!

The last few pounds are going to be the most difficult, no matter what your dieting preference. I practise daily intermittent fasting and usually consume all my calories within two to four hours. However, I've found that rather than it getting more difficult as I lost weight, it actually got easier. I'm used to not feeling…

That's quite fitting, considering who reported you. :)

The only thing that needs to be cleansed is the rubbish spewed forth from every form of advocacy for the "importance of (insert ridiculous item here) for detoxing", and how some people link it to "boosting your metabolism". Please. The only thing that gets my metabolism going is my increased rate of certain hand gestures…

YUM! Cornish pasty?

I believe you asked for funny gifs. These never fail to amuse me: Bonus non-gif

I get so miffed when: * My mum insists I "need to eat rice every day", because "everyone needs carbohydrates". I eat oatmeal, cereal and fruits on a daily basis, but apparently, the one "true" carb is rice. Logic = 0 * People insist I need to eat early/regularly to kickstart/keep my metabolism going, because I don't eat…

Went through two packets of Royce Potatochip Chocolate today. Seriously worth the 2000+ calories. And in case you haven't heard of Royce/tried it yet, it looks something like that:

^^ Some really good suggestions. I'd suggest weighing food items whenever you can, ensuring enough water is drunk, and upping your calorie intake, because +1 on the "whoosh".

Toutons sound amazing! Never heard of it before, but I've Googled recipes. Gonna try that soon. :)

Are you: Weighing food? Moving around less than before? Consuming any medication?

Haha. That's why I said I can trust a deaf person to write a symphony, not all. If writing symphonies was the question at hand, deaf people wouldn't be my first choice, but I wouldn't write them off either, because like I said, there can be exceptions. Similar to not completely writing off an obese nutritionist, who may be…

I "gain" and "lose" anywhere from 3-6 pounds daily. Many factors attribute to daily fluctuations, like water weight, sodium intake, the types of foods you eat, like more/less carbs, et cetera. Like others have said, weight loss is not linear. Good going with your progress so far, OP!

Agree with ana on hitting on your macros, and figuring out your daily calorie intake, considering your TDEE. It would be helpful to know what you've been eating, if you've logged it in your diary as others can comment. You claim you're not eating "junk", which leads me to believe that you may not be eating enough fats,…

OP, I can't tell from your initial post as to whether you've underestimated or overestimated the calories of 30 grapes all this while? Like why is it shocking to you? Are you amazed it's lower or higher than you thought? :| And like everyone has said, weigh your grapes, because I've ever eaten over 35 grapes for less than…

In any situation, there are always exceptions. Beethoven wrote some pretty good music in the Late Period, so yeah, I can trust a deaf person to write a symphony.

Not sure this answers ndj's query still, unless you're saying that low GI foods are automatically deemed as "cleaner".

Kimmie, I went back to your initial comment, and I think you got flagged, because you commented that breakfast is essential to kickstart one's metabolism, which hasn't been scientifically been proven. I may be wrong.

QFT. OP, if you decide to go through with this diet, do think about your long-term plan, because you'd be accountable for your own meals and lifestyle in the future. Good luck.

OP, how did you determine this nine-year projection? What calculator(s) did you use? What are your stats?

Kruggeri, I thought for sure your entry for the Throwdown would win, because it looks the best!

Not eating breakfast is a bad thing, if it: * Causes you hunger pangs, and interferes with how you perform for the rest of the day * Causes you to make "poor" meal choices for the rest of the day Other than that, do not worry about the timings of your meals. I practise intermittent fasting, so my first (and sometimes only)…

Tuna, eggs, tempeh, chicken.

To make your argument valid, I shall peer-review this, and make some annotations. "Is food really that interesting? Yes. I think foodies are ridiculously on point with this. One of the reasons anybody is overweight is because he/she goes over their daily calorie intake often. Enjoying foods in moderation is the way to go.…

The array of desserts was awesome, but sadly, I have no ability to replicate such flavours when I want. Nothing beats having awesome talent like you, because you're capable of producing mouthwatering treats yourself! :)

I would've guessed you to be 31 or so, Landy. :) @Ejoy: 20? Edit: I kinda realised too late that your username would be a giveaway. Haha! But you look young! Must be your awesome smile.
