Thank you to those of you who have made thoughtful contributions above, I appreciate this. I don’t have any particular “brand of woo”, I wanted to understand why any suggestion that there might be bad carbs, that it might be helpful to stop eating, gets such a negative response on this community. It seems strange to me, as…

I did not say anyone has advocated a diet of cake and cookies. What I am saying is that is the logical ridiculous end point of the claims that there are no bad carbs. If there were no bad carbs then the cake and cookie diet would be fine but as you say it is clearly ridiculous. And of course I agree that there is nothing…

I heard a talk from an NHS dietitian early this week, who said the amount of carbs on your plate should be the size of your clenched fist, so very little if you are eating pasta but probably about the size helping of potatoes I would choose. Her recommendation was the portion of protein should be the size of the palm of…

I usually have scrambled eggs, but tried banana pancake...just mash a banana with an egg, and cook as pancakes in a little coconut oil. Really good with a handful of blueberries.

Hi. It took me a while to work that one out, but when you are on the screen of ignore or message, click the persons name and you get to a screen where you can add as a friend.

I have also restarted. Lost the weight three years ago and six months ago stopped exercising because I was ill. I never got back into the exercise and unsurprising I now need to lose 25 lbs. slowly getting back to good habits but know this will be slow.

I do not think the idea of a cheat meal is good psychologically. Who are am I cheating in this...myself? Why would I want to do that? Some days I might choose to eat something denser in calories than I would normally choose, but as everyone else on this discussion is saying, I count it in my calories for the day. It might…

Hi. I think it means it is a verified value, rather than added by another member

Can not find a way to edit old post...is there one?

I have a trainer and I find it really useful. If I go to the gym on my own I know I don’t push myself as much as my trainer pushes me. I started seeing a trainer to rehab my shoulder after surgery as I had no shoulder strength. This has improved hugely. I also wanted to learn to lift weights correctly. We mix sessions up…

Fairly new to this so not entirely sure what I am dong but I’m up for a challenge STARTING WEIGHT AND DATE WITH MFP: March 2018 146 lbs CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT: 30th April 141 lbs MAY 7: MAY 14: MAY 21: MAY 28: MAY GOAL: 137lbs MAY ACTUAL: JUNE 4: JUNE 10: JUNE 18: JUNE 25: JUNE GOAL: 133lbs JUNE ACTUAL: JULY 2: JULY 9:…

Let’s start our own group. I’m 59 and need some support and encouragement.

Hi, like you I used MFP to lose 30 lbs three years ago and kept it off. But six months ago I lost all motivation to exercise. It took me 6 months to realise that if you keep eating the same and let the sugar back in, and stop exercising you put weight on. Two weeks ago I decided things had to change and I am now back to…

If you want to reduce the amount you spend on groceries, there are a couple of things you can try - avoid buying fruit and vegetables in supermarkets, they are always more expensive than a local shop or farmers market - Buy in season fruit and veg only, out of season food is more expensive and never tastes as good - Build…
