Pretty sure the point that the OP has tried to put across has been lost several pages back. You can use the 'stickies' on here as your bible all you want...to each their own. But everybody is different, and all the OP was trying to say (from what I see) is that it may not be appropriate to tell people looking for advice…

If by bad foods you mean ones that inhibit you from losing 'weight' ? Then yes, there absolutely are foods that will do this. Diet is not just a numbers game, theres so much more science to it. CICO may be the foundation to it all, but there are still many variables involved (if there weren't then everyone would be in…

Body fat calipers. Take body fat measurements at bi-weekly or monthly intervals and you will discover how much of a filthy liar a scale can be. For.Real. Aside from that, do you 'feel' lighter? Look slimmer? Are you drinking alot of water? (Poor hydration can stop you in your tracks) Taking a multi? Eating enough veggies?…

If you're training 5-6 days a week I would bump it up. I find that 2200 is always a good number for men to start at, assess at the end of the week and make any adjustments (up or down) from there. Bit of a juggling act for you. You're trying to train (increase endurance, strength etc) for a triathalon all while having a…

Hype around coconut oil stems from the MCT's (medium chain triglycerides) in it. It is a saturated fat that is easily metabolized, meaning as long as your active it will be readily used for energy while boosting your body's fat metabolism (among other things like joint lubrication).

Have you been doing the same exercises/workouts for the full 6 weeks prior? The brain is a powerful tool and when it recognizes a pattern with muscle movement it will naturally make you more efficient... This is great on an athletic level but not so much with losing weight. Plateaus do exist, but there could be several…

Apple slices with a tbsp of natty peanut butter and alot of water is effective for me. And I can turn into quite the cookie monster....and by cookie I actually mean all food within the universe.

All about stepping out of that comfort zone. Once you do, the results will enlighten you. Work on you're perspective just as much (or more) than your diet. It'll Happen.

Once a week, same day right when I wake up. Too many variables like water retention to weigh in every day (for me at least)

Use it as fuel for the fire ...*insert fire emoticon here*

Guess it depends on how epic the cheat meal is :#

Have you tried switching your exercise routine up throughout the two months? Possible chance you've already plateau'd and need to 'shock' your body by changing things up. If you're still losing .5lb/week though then you're still doing great. Also be very vigilant about vitamin and nutrients. A good multi can make a…

Brown rice (or whole grain quinoa), chicken breast and a load of veggies. I'd portion it to 300cal so I could fit in some almonds a couple hours later :P

You may not be hungry, but how is your strength? How's your mood? Energy level? Sleeping? There's lots of ways to determine a too large calorie deficit. Not just hunger.

Wouldn't hurt :)

You're body is most likely being deprived. The further you diet, the further your metabolism drops. As it drops you can't take in as much nutrients and while you continue to bust *kitten* in the gym, you're body is getting to that line of deprivation. Also, If you are sticking to a good diet with low G.I then you could…
