Yes muscle, by volume, weighs more than fat, by volume. Since you compare things of the same volume to determine if something weighs more than something else the "by volume" is implied. All this means is that muscle has a higher density than fat. Because of this fact Muscle, by weight, takes up less volume than fat, by…

Winter Top floor or bottom?

Jazz Pulp or no pulp?

I keep cals in check, but I also played with my macros till I found the configuration that worked for me. Soo I eat what I want within my cals while keeping my macros correctly balanced for my goals and adherence.

Cheese, eggs, avocado, full fat milk, nut butters, fatty cuts of meat, butter, cooking oils.... It dosnt take much, and if you want to enjoy something like ice cream or snickers just make sure you account for it.

It sounds like the things you crave are also high in fat. It is possible it isn't really the sugar you are craving but the fat. Do you get enough fat in your diet? I found when I upped my fats I had more control over my sugar cravings.

Stop blaming other things for your failure! Take responsibility for yourself and nothing can stop you.

It helps with losing water weight. It also makes sure you are continuously hydrated. Many people confuse being thirsty with being hungry, so being hydrated can eliminate that confusion which can reduce the amount you snack.

Give it a some time and your body will find it's balance again. It should only take a few days.

Caffeine, pain killer, and psidophedrine. Give it 20 min to kick in and move on with the day.

You have a beautiful attitude!

Yes please!

Well done. I think pics are the greatest tool you can use to gage your progress. Keep taking pics and moving towards your goals!!

Be specific What is tough What are your goals What are you doing to reach them Being specific gives you control which makes it simpler to make the changes you want.

I got asked by my brother to help his girlfriend realize her diet won't work till she actually tracks her intake and puts herself in a deficit. The problem is I think I'm going to enjoy giving her the tough talk more than I should. (I may have reservations about her and my brother)

34 5'10" Started at 188 Goal is 135-140 Currently 158 Just be honest with yourself.

I count soup...

Stay away from "health foods" make this a time to indulge together. This needs to let her know that she can eat what she wants in front of you and you won't make any comment on it.

Or just ask him.... :unamused:

Just an idea... If food is her comfort, and you want her to feel comfortable with you, maybe have a weekly brunch date with her. Indulge in food that tastes good regardless of how healthy you think it is. Don't talk about the food you are eating and be the one to order desert to share with her so she feels you are…

I know it's hard, I am now a mother of 2boys and catch myself wishing I could fix all their problems for them. The thing with that is they never learn or grow if they aren't let to fail and fight to conquer. Strength is found in adversity and it is selfish of us as care divers to take these opportunities of growth away…

Mine is insight from the daughter on the other end. Trust me there is nothing anyone could have done or said to change what I was doing. I had to do it for myself.

This is an age where children are supposed to separate from their parents. Unfortunately other than loving her and being there when she asks for help there is nothing you can do. Sometimes we have to let our children fail so they can learn to succeed on their own.

Nice, those first milestones are soo wonderful to hit.

Lunch at work is not a special event. I save indulgent food choices for times I am with my family and other people I love.

Nuts, seeds, avocado, full fat dairy

It takes some time to figure out your personal sweet spot. There is some trial and error in all this. When in doubt try what you want, track your results, and adjust as needed. Good luck!

It's up to you if you count it. If your weight loss stalls just stop counting it.

An entire school? Sure

Don't forget cream cheese and full fat cheese of all kinds!! I will eat good food in smaller quantities before I eat flavorless food in bulk!
