I know what you mean by exercise carbs, because default: and with exercise: I'm not sure why you're worried about eating back those carbs if you're trying to go low carb, though. Wouldn't you just focus on fat and protein? I've also heard the protein-after-workout thing, but I generally don't eat after unless I would be…

Hi Martacabell, It is actually very hard to build muscle (especially in a caloric deficit) so unless someone is brand new to lifting, it is unlikely. Starvation mode is actually a myth. An overweight person (or even a normal-weight person, see the Minnesota Starvation Experiment) is unlikely to keep fat as described. As…

You're in California and there's a reason for that. The everyday price seems to be the same here, but it's been a long time since I've seen .99 cartons.

Well, you also get an ounce of cheese per egg (so 480+) and a tablespoon of oil per egg. (720+)

Well, aim for that, but tell yourself you can back out at any time. I've eaten up to four in one day. 15 seems. . . fun. It seems fun.

I stole this from a site that listed it as a "keto fast stall breaker."

OP only has 19 pounds to lose. Nothing short of an insanely painful medically supervised diet is going to get her to 1 kg a week (and even that might not work).

You're a stick of butter and a bulletproof coffee away from that keto egg fast. You can do this. I believe in you.

What pain? DOMS? Are you talking about DOMS? Make sure you're getting enough potassium and water. That's pretty much the only pain my lifestyle has caused me.

Witchcraft, alchemy, old crones reading goat entrails, etc. Ignore the number you get when you close your diary and you will be happier. The explanation for why they think you will only lose .5 kg/week is this: It is unlikely that someone with your height and weight will lose that much per week on a 1200 calorie diet. I…

I eat back half. Not always on the day I do the exercise, but within the week. 1. What is your desired rate of weight loss? I'd like it all gone by Friday, please. The highest rate MFP will give me is 1.3 pounds a week. 3. Does that rate of weight loss happen as averaged over a period of time longer than a month? I've only…

This is true, I tried Thai green curry for the first time while there and it was great. In my limited experience, I don't recall seeing any Latin@ food/people up there. But I also got food poisoning up there and do not have especially warm feelings toward any Canadian food.

So you're actually counting your activity twice. You have the option to cnahge the calories burned to 1, which will not affect your macros at all.

Put in whatever number I feels like seeing. Could be 100, could be 2000.

New low right away. I don't record it when it goes back up because I'm at a deficit all the time. I know someone who checks in daily and so I never congratulate her on losing 2.3 pounds because I have no idea if that's a loss or not. But I only record whole pounds. I've been half a pound down and I haven't recorded a new…

I'm struggling with the thought that there are good burritos in Canada. If it turns out they put gravy on those too I'm going to be so mad. Confession: My friend told me that sleeping more helps you break a plateau and I've been trying to get more sleep ever since.

I actually did quite a bit of reading on sleep and weight loss this weekend. While cortisol does play a role in weight gain, it will not override a calorie deficit. Glad you're being treated for sleep apnea and are finally losing weight. Were you weighing and logging while you were eating 1400 a day? It's really easy to…

Aside from the heater thing, it all comes down to this: YOU are embarking on a change, HE doesn't quite get why things need to change. Why do you need him to help you clean it up or find missing pieces? As for the food thing: He has always offered you junk, and you have generally accepted, right? Again, you changed, he's…

I just googled it and no, just the final version of the paper (which I have not read tbh). ETA: find it here

Same. My pic is 8 years old now and I'm still heavier. Ugh. Need to look into getting a new one when it's all over. I had some interesting ideas about hair at the time that I'd also like to hide.

-People suddenly think it's okay to comment on your body/weight loss/food -How much more fun it is to focus on fitness (which you can control) versus the scale (which you truly cannot control) -Some "friends" get weirdly competitive or passive aggressive -How you can look in the mirror and not see that you're not obese…

Fantastic!

So did you have to grow in the beard after you realized how much younger you look? :D Great job!

Edit because it's too late to argue about economics. But consumer expenditures are not income.

She's actually paying $11.68/2.2 pounds chicken breast $4.68 for a ~1 lb. bag of frozen vegetables ~3.00 for a half gallon of milk $10.13 for a whole roast chicken $3.12 for 2.2 pounds of bananas Crazy that even the stuff that should be domestic is high. I guess the producers have to share the pain too.

I only eat back half of my exercise calories. Had one day when it said I would lose 21 pounds. Stayed on the straight and narrow for five weeks. Lost 9 pounds. (A decent loss, about which I am not complaining.)

No, because they know it's hocus-pocus. I occasionally keep track of it on my phone calendar because I like being angry.

What easilychanged said. The listed calories for the oil/egg prepared mix was 260. This way came to about 175 per serving. When you use the recipe builder, make sure you pick an entry that is only dry mix (or create your own).

I love all cheese, from fancy $25/ounce kinds I can't pronounce to pasteurized processed cheese food. This thread has introduced me to a couple kinds I haven't seen or heard of. Don't worry strange foreign cheeses, I'm coming for you.
