I am very good most everyday, but there are times when I eat whatever I want without worrying about it and if I was counting I would be close to 4k . That's my max- I can't imagine eating over that, but I have no problem getting to that amount when eating out! 6 garlic parm wings, bacon cheese fries with ranch dressing, 2…

I just wanted to state that I was on the pill from age 15-29 and never gained a single pound from it. Managed to maintain my weight of 115 (5' 4") until I got pregnant. After that it was all a struggle!!

It doesn't matter at all. I do intermittent fasting and save all my calories for dinner. By eating only 1 meal a day I've managed to lose 10 pounds in 2 months.

You do realize you have to eat an additional 3500 over your TDEE to gain a pound? Her TDEE could be say, 1800, so therefore she only ate 3960 calories over her weekly TDEE. That would only equate to a pound. And fat and carbs don't add weight, calories do- it doesn't matter where those calories come from! Most likely it is…

I've been doing IF for about 2 months now and have lost 10 lbs. I do either 4:3 or 5:2 depending on how I feel. It was hard at first but second nature now. Very happy with it and I know it is something I can maintain for life.

I do IF. So if I want something high calorie, I save it for my up day. Down days 500 calls 3x a week and up days of 2k. I always make sure I eat within my calorie allotment, so sometimes my up day will only consist of 1 big meal!

I do the 4:3 plan. I fast Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I eat nothing from the night before at 8pm until 6pm the following night- so 22 hours. I eat all my 500 calories in one meal. During the day I drink lots of water, black hot tea and chew sugarless gum. It took me about a week to get used to it. I now look forward to…

I used to love Diet Pepsi, then all of a sudden it started making me sick to my stomach with terrible gas pains. I hated coke, diet and regular. Gave up all soda for almost 6 years and didn't lose any weight because of it. I just recently started drinking it again and have found that I love Coke Zero cherry. I drink…

I practice 4:3. Eat at 1500-2000 cals 4 days a week, and at 500 or less 3 days a week. I don't limit myself to certain times of the day to eat, but I usually stop on an up day at 7pm and can go to 6pm on a down day with no issues. I do get hungry, but I push through it and the feeling passes... or I have a cup of hot tea…

I'm also 5'4 and 43 years old. I started out at 150 and have lost 6 pounds since Aug 1. However, my lowest intake is 1400 calories. On the days I work out (usually 4-5 days) I eat back all my exercise calories and have still managed to lose. Have you lost any weight with eating so little?

Ok, OP has to be joking, or she is the dumbest person I have ever met. Even my 13 year old daughter- who is not on the pill- knows how bc pills work!!

I have IBS also and the first three weeks of my new diet were very difficult for me. The first two I was constipated and bloated and the third was the expulsion week- cramps, blow outs etc. I am now on my 5th week and happy to say I am pretty much back to normal. Haven't had any constipation or any flare ups at all since…
