If you have IBS you can get flares by eating too much of either kind of fibre - I have the same reaction to shirataki noodles. They're pretty much 100% soluble fibre and that messes up my guts.

"this year in going to lose weight by eating clean, no more junk like this!" <-- my office mate, as she throws out a box of 100 calorie Special K bars and replaces them with a big box of almonds. Now instead of the 1 Special K bat she has what I'd estimate to be 50 grams of almonds with her morning coffee, plus more…

For me it's cauliflower, cabbage and beans and excessive lactose. You only have to exclude the whole list for a couple of weeks and then reintroduce food as challenges to see what's up. There's plenty of books / apps to help too. Not sure why I'm being wooed, this is really standard practice in Australia. Developed by…

Look up FODMAPS - you might have a bit of an intolerance to something which is causing the bloating. I never realised I had intolerances until I got lean enough to realise that my belly was getting hard and distended after eating certain foods

Wow harsh. Sorry I commented.

I'm obviously a worthless stupid idiot who has no idea about anything.

I'm a fidgeter by nature, my Nan tried to train me out of it when I was a kid but it didn't really work

Don't throw away a weeks progress for half an hour's eating

It's so personally dependent too - I'm currently on 2 a days (am cardio, pm weights) 5 days a week. I've done stretches where I go 7 days a week until I need a day off, take a rest day and continue on (one rest day every 2-3 weeks). I've done lifting 6 days a week and all of these have worked for me at the time I was doing…

No. Put me in the crowd of to me it's a waste of calories and macros. I'd rather have oats, or eggs, or a yoghurt than a slimy, crunchy, healthy-tasting (not in a good way, in a "I will eat this because it's supposed to be good for me" way) bowl of slop that gets stuck in my teeth.

I don't think it's helpful - I had a goal of bulking through the middle of last year but the only time people would send me messaged is when I lost weight. I got annoyed and disheartened trying to bulk when the only support I got was when I 'failed' at my goal and lost weight, like I was doing something bad.

I've been logging pretty much since late 2014 - few gaps for vacations and when I've burned out, but I keep coming back. I need to know roughly what I've eaten and what I still should put into my body, just as I need to know how much cash is in my bank account before I go out shopping, or petrol in the tank of the car…

I can't wait for this fad of big butts to pass. I don't think a big *kitten* is all that attractive and I'm sick of my Instagram being full of girls hiking their undies up their butt crack and shoving their bum at the camera.

Good luck, I started mfp after suffering through that disgusting garbage they call food on lite n easy, this is so much more sustainable and ice learned how to eat. Lite and easy is just eat, don't learn. I did lose weight on it but half of that is I'm sure from throwing out awful half meals and uneaten bruised apples and…

Nope, just nope. I "loved" myself overweight, because I was "worth it" to "treat myself" (etc. etc.). One day I woke up and realised that I disgusted myself and needed to change. Self love and accepting myself led to complacency and increasingly larger pants. Realising that I wasn't genetically destined to be big and that…
