It really doesn't matter, as at the end of the day calories are 'king' for weightloss - You just have to find how to make them work for you. I personally prefer 3 meals a day when eating 'normally' (following calorie counting) but prefer 2 meals a day + intermittent fasting when on keto (still calorie counting).

Wearing clothes that are too large can highlight weightloss in a negative way. Go for the fitted clothes!

The number on the scale doesn't always equal the body you were hoping for. I've lost weight just fine but haven't been happy until I started working on the body fat percentage - not just the number on the scale. You are still also at the 'pointy end' where every lb makes a big difference.

Low fat and low carb is not a very good combination - it generally just ends up eating a ton of meat and constipation. Keto is not necessary for weightloss. I choose to eat keto simply because I like how it makes me feel and I find the food very filling/satisfying. Fat is important under keto as it becomes the main 'fuel'…

The 'thigh gap' is almost always faked using certain poses, and when it's not, it's normally made by genetics, not weight. It really isn't something to aim for.

I would play on the safe side and 'get back' your calories from lunch/dinner. Better to be slightly over and be ok at work than slightly under and be weak at work. I wouldn't overthink it though.

Ick - Generally any time something has a laxative effect, but doesn't work in the timeframe it is meant to, you are in for an unexpected surprise...

You need to close the temptation gap while you are still learning how to say no to all the office snacks. What I mean by this is if the option is between donuts and yogurt, it is really going to be a difficult choice. When I first started and was learning it was ok to not eat all the office sweets, I set my goal at…

I personally ignore BMI. It's a very generalised way to classify bodies and doesn't account for the difference in increased weight in fat vs muscle. I believe in setting a realistic goal and seeing how you feel at that goal and then reevaluating.

For me, keto is more of a hunger management tool over a weight management tool. I've had the same results weight-loss wise as it all comes down to calories - I do find i'm less snacky on keto.

If you aren't going to listen to your doctor, why would you listen to us? Ask your doctor what he would suggest and follow it before you hurt yourself further.

Personally, I don't go to restaurants enough to worry too much about calorie contents. I log my day except for that meal and be done with it. If i'm just guessing, and i'm going to eat it anyway, then who cares what the calories are - feels like a bit of a waste of time.

I was doing IF before I knew it was a 'thing' - I just do better if I don't eat until lunch. It's more of a hunger manager than a weight manager. I still eat the same number of calories as I did when I forcibly ate breakfast, but it just works for me.

Nope - not worth estimating calories and there is no way i'm weighing cake on my birthday. I know the impact a 'free for all' day will have and logging it won't make a difference if I don't care what the calorie content is.

Good nutrition and a healthy lifestyle can go a long way towards better health - I don't think there will be a single person here that will argue with that. However, most people will argue against the wild claims of food healing certain diseases, 'detoxing', good food vs bad food (in the context that 'bad' food poisons…

Scotch fillet with creamy garlic prawns... yum!

Every morning at the gym in my gymwear. I used to weigh before the gym at home naked for a more accurate reading, but scale batteries died (can't be bothered to replace them) and I don't think my gym would appreciate my nakedness for accuracy haha.

I don't have to cook for a family, but I prepare big meals and then break down into portions. I use the recipe builder and add everything and then weigh the whole result as the number of servings. So if I make a chicken bake, i'll weigh the dish it's cooked in (eg. 800g) and then weigh the total dish once cooked (800g +…

When I first started and was struggling with the change in eating and how to fit it into my busy life, I wrote down the calorie counts of my favourite menu items - that way if I ended up getting McDonald’s for dinner after work, I could at least avoid eating 2 days worth of calories. It also made it easier sometimes to…

For me, a logging break is a diet break - I don't find it difficult to log so if i'm not logging, it's generally because I'm overeating and don't care what the macros/calories are. I have found a week off after 4-5 months can be a great mental break, with minimal setbacks - however, you do need to be very aware of how to…

Love diet softdrink - easy sweet treat to have that has no calories/carbs/sugar etc.

I've lost weight simply calorie counting and i've lost weight calorie counting eating a keto diet. I found the keto high-fat diet is more filling on the same number of calories, but that's about it!

1200 is the minimum usually reserved for short women - men usually have a much higher 'minimum'. Great job so far, but for sustainability, it's time to up the calories a little and slow down.

I'm on a keto diet and it works just like when I was simply watching calories eating everything. If you eat too much, gain weight, not enough, lose weight, maintain, maintain. It is difficult when eating out at restaurants to pick "keto friendly" options which is the biggest downside. I also suffered massively with…

For me, a messy house/space usually means i'm incredibly busy - when I have a lot of work (2 jobs) and university study, there isn't much time left for housework. If I didn't have meals frozen ready to reheat, I probably would turn to easier options - which usually is overeating (chips, takeaway etc.)
