I'm outta here, that's how I feel about it! So many other calorie counting apps out there with free food scanners are going to expand now with MFP refugees like me.

No I just scan the labels. I have 80 pounds or so to lose so I figure doing it that way will get me at least close to where I need to go without weighing everything. If I get within 5 or 10 lbs of the goal weight and the rate of loss slows way down I would start weighing everything or adjust the calorie goal for my present…

Intermittent Fasting vs Cutting Calories | Jason Fung - Dec 6, 2020 In this video Dr Fung just put out a few days ago at 1:50 he says "Losing weight with calorie counting fails". Also at 6:00 "Why calorie counting doesn't work". I mean how can you take a person seriously that puts out ridiculous statements like this as a…

That's weird. I haven't had any problems with it at all. I log my food into MFP and the numbers show up in the fitbit app while the fitbit tracks all cals burned in exercise and that shows up in MFP. I love it, I hope you guys can figure out the problem soon.

I love Nike Air Monarchs. Really good support, good ride and last quite a while. Only knock I have against them are they tend to be kinda hot to wear in the summer.

I'm doing IF 20:4 with MFP counting cals to be sure I don;t go over. And yes I can go over my cal limit for the day in four hours easy peasy.

Get an ebike and go 20 miles per hour or better B)

Totally agree with this. IF shows me that what I thought was hunger was really a two year old child inside of me screaming for candy and sweet stuff 90% of the time, LOL

Yes trying to keep carbs to 20 or less a day. 👍

Autophagy is a hot topic lately and it goes hand in hand with IF. So you not only lose weight you renew your cells at the same time! Brilliant! Whats not to like about that huh?

I've been doing keto + 16:8 since the beginning of December. When I come off a 16 hour fast now I usually don't even eat right away because my appetite is so suppressed. I'm going to wait till January but I think I'll kick it up a notch to 18:6 and see how that goes. Weight is falling off me, it's incredible! Black coffee,…

I started on 16:8 on Dec 2 or 3 so not yet a month. The first couple of days were a little tough but then my normal ravenous appetite and cravings for high carb junk 'food' totally disappeared. I figure a year of this will get me to my correct BMI for the first time since the 80's. As a bonus, I'm saving a lot of money on…

3 square and no snacks is a beginning step into IF really. Glad it's working for you. 👍

I'm on a baseline of 16:8 seven days a week since Dec 3 and have lost 14 lbs so far. I've done three 24 hr fasts in that period because my appetite is so under control sometimes lol. IF is awesome!

I'm doing 16:8 which is working good so far. Not sure if I can get to OMAD but good luck OP, hope it works out for you.

We dip pork rinds in full fat sour cream. Sugar free jello is great with the spray can real whip cream on it.

I've been on keto since this January and have lost 47 pounds so far. We bake pepperoni in the oven on a cookie sheet. 375 for 10 minutes. They come out nice and crispy for a crunchy snack. KCKO! MFP gives me 1905 calories and I try to keep net carbs at 20 or less a day.

I've been on keto since January OP. I've lost 46 pounds so far. Good luck!

For me personally, the answer is Keto. I'm down 46 pounds this morning since starting keto on Jan. 8 this year. Every other diet left me starving 24/7 after a few days and lead to failure shortly after. Pounds are just falling off me. My next goal is in sight now. BMI going from obese to over weight and then hitting…

My wife and I are My 600lbs Life junkies. It's like Scared Straight for us LOL. I always pull for the folks and then get pissed at them when they fudge the diet. Then I look in the mirror and say, well what about you, hmm?? Biggest Loser is one of the worse reality shows on TV IMO. It should be forced off the air. I can't…

I'm glad it works for you OP. Being a vegetarian made me fatter. Tons of junk food are veg/vegan and I can't control my appetite on that stuff. I might experiment with lacto-ovo vegetarianism again when I hit my goal weight but I don't think I could ever be vegan. I don't trust soy products and it seems I would have a hard…

Google Ancel Keys and the Seven Nations study.

Humanity ate full fat for eons until some jerkoff scientist with an agenda came along in the 50's with false data and claimed fat was bad and would kill you. He was full of you know what and is the father of the obesity/type 2 diabetes epidemic now sweeping the entire planet.

Since January 8th of this year for me. First time in my life for sure. A day or less for 60 years before this year. I have no doubt. Keto killed my cravings for sugary junk food like magic. It certainly wasn't my willpower, that's a fact! LOL

Actually there are no essential carbs. A persons brain can function fine on ketosis and ketogenesis. Carbohydrate Not Essential For Human Survival https://irosacea.org/articles/rosacea-articles/triggers/rosacea-and-sugar/carbohydrate-not-essential-for-human-survival-r21/ Gluconeogenesis…

The thing is, we are all different. To some a teaspoon of sugar is nothing. To me, a type 2 diabetic that needs to lose 120 pounds or face terrible medical consequences, its a very bad choice. I just hate it though when I am asked for my opinion and give it, then I get beaten up by other board members because they don't…

Because IMO drinking calories from sugary drinks is not very conducive for weight loss IMO. I did not realize that was a controversial subject on a weight loss site but my asked for opinion stands regardless.

The OP asked for opinions on whether to use sweeteners or sugar in a drink. So I gave the OP my opinion. I fail to see how my opinion on the subject has nothing to do with this thread, but yours does of course.
