I crave milk when I'm dehydrated. Do you drink water during the day? I find when I'm not dehydrated I don't crave it as much.

The people claiming that are referring to "Starvation Mode" and stating that your body holds onto fat reserves when you starve it of calories. It's been proven untrue, and you're right with the examples you've given.

The above recommendations were pretty good...if you're struggling to enjoy it and freezing isn't worth it, just throw it out.

1. Entirely depends on you. You have to learn over time to add fuel when your body needs it. With that said, I've heard a lot of people say that after an hour, it's good to add fuel to your body. I typically last about 90 mins without it, and fuel anything longer. Your body will start to tell you and you will learn with…

It depends entirely on the individual. Optimal varies from person to person based on their own desires. Some people HATE running the amount I did and wouldn't call it optimal at all despite the progress I perceived. For some people, it works just fine. As long as CI and CO balance, it doesn't matter how you get there.

I laugh at this, but it was my go-to when I was too stressed to have an appetite and was not meeting my needs. It saved me from malnutrition I'm pretty sure.
-
When my appetite is low, I try to include foods that have a high calorie content for less substance, such as peanut butter, almonds, trail mix, avocado, etc.

There are likely few people who have ever started a calorie deficit and not felt some degree of discomfort on days the deficit wasn't maintained or they ate a food that has been deemed "bad." I've definitely been there. It makes a huge difference to focus on the "big picture." Keep in mind that you've lost 20 pounds…

This thread is driving me nuts, because to be honest, I'm pretty sure it was started to incite the arguement that's currently happening, but I digress. I think the point is this : Person A is an overweight individual who starts doing cardio exercise X number of times per week. They start losing weight because by…

Well I certainly hope no one is looking at kitten porn.

Well said. I don't disagree about psychological factors, and I fall into the group of people who believe you can be psychologically addicted to eating. With that said, it frustrates me to no end when people compare the addiction capacity/effects of food on the body to that of meth and alcohol. That's a really big stretch…

I've been fairly quiet in this thread, but comparing food (a nutrient based, life sustaining substance your body needs) to crystal meth or alcohol addiction is ridiculous. No one dies or has to go to detox when they stop eating whatever hyperpalatable food is being claimed to blame. And no one becomes "addicted" to food…

Co-signed. Science is science and I will never understand unnecessary restriction. I suspect some serious logging inaccuracies are at play.

While treadmills may be designed to absorb shock, the point is moot if running form, shoes and the impact of repetitive movement aren't taken into consideration. Sure, there is a shock absorbing factor that asphalt doesn't have, but for me (and many people, actually) this is completely negated by the fact that when you're…

I'm 5'1" and 118. I LOSE weight at 1500. All of the 5'7 and 5'8 women claiming they need to be at or under 1200 need to track more accurately, because that's ridiculous.

I recommend searching the groups...there are a few keto groups that would likely have a lot of ideas.

QFT. Very few women should be eating that low.

So you're saying my all-watermelon diet is a bad idea?? Because nutrients? Crap.
-
I just had a conversation with my mom this weekend that I'm pretty sure I could gain weight on JUST watermelon. I love fruits and veggies and I WISH this were true.

Well, aren't we feeling clever tonight.

There we go. /thread

Who eats 36 oz of peanut butter or two gallons of pickles? I can't figure out why you measure everything in such huge quantities.

180 cals is NO BIG DEAL. You didn't mess up, you don't need to correct for it and "perfect" is a really hard ideal. You're being way too hard on yourself and considering this is only week one, your attitude will set you up for failure - not because you go over calories but because perfection is not sustainable.
