I had my gallbladder removed 6 years ago. Right after the surgery meals with fat caused me issues. That settled down after 8 months - 1 year I think. Now I still have issues if I have a high fat meal, but it's not too big of a deal since it only lasts about 30 min. And it's a good reminder to make sure to not eat high fat…

Despite lifting weights I wasn't getting stronger and despite cardio I wasn't getting faster/fitter. I started eating 1900 calories back in March and started losing weight again. Now I am on 2100 cal a…

Maybe try upping your protein intake. You can get to the point where it is hard to gain muscle because you aren't fueled right/not enough calories. Muscles take more calories to maintain so it increases the calories you burn. Maybe just up it a little bit for a while? I'm not sure active people are suppose to be on 1200 a…
