Depo increases the appetite in some users. It does not magically create extra weight. The user still has to be eating above maintenance.

You may want to look into low carb or ketogenic diets. Ruled.me is a good site to get info. He may have recommended low carb since you failed at weight watchers. It could be suspects insulin resistance. It could be that he's just heard good things. Low carb/high fat/moderate protein is not necessarily any better than just…

100 grams of carbs is still low when compared to the average American Diet. It's just not ketogenic. Low carb or high carb or mid carb still comes down to calories in/calories out. Did you calorie count when you were low carb and do you calorie count now? Most people go low or lower carb and do not count calories. Then…

Do not rely on keto sticks. They are highly inaccurate. If you want to test for ketones, blood or breath tests are much better indicators. I would try to avoid sugar alcohols in the beginning as much as possible. You can go to a website called ruledme.com. They have tons of info on keto and recipes you can check out. I…

You need to eat healthy fats. Fats and protein are satiating.

I find every other day easier than 5:2. My body just gets in a rhythm of what to expect. If I have big weekend plans I just switch to 4:3 for a week, or if I go home to visit my family for a week, I tend to completely switch it up and do 16:8. It's easier for me to stay on track and get back in to an every other day swing…

The research on the effects of 5:2, 4:3 or even every other day diet on women are very very limited. A rat study showed females can get a hormonal imbalance as a result of fasting. But, we are not rats and that is one singular study. As with any weight loss plan, listen to your body and be honest with yourself regardless…

I intermittent fast 16:8 low carb and I have absolutely no issues. I am insulin resistant and allergic to wheat so low carb just works for me. You really need to play with the eating windows to find what works best for you.

I live in Orlando. It is 105 plus degrees with the heat index. LOTS and LOTS of water. For me, when it's that hot out, I find it very hard to overeat. Also, most people average 5-10 miles a day at Disney so as long as you don't go crazy, you shouldn't do much damage. Almost all of the quick service locations have salads,…

It is super easy to get 80 grams of protein for less than 1200 calories a day. Chicken and tuna both are very low cal/high protein. I'm not saying that the OP is or isn't on a healthy path, but 12 ounces of chicken breast will put you near 100 grams of protein at only about 600 calories. If you are eating low carb which is…

I intermittent fast low carb with excellent results and health markers. Low carb for me because I'm insulin resistant. Different strokes for different folks. The point is the OP needs to be getting adequate calories and nutrients during their feeding window. [Edited by MFP Mods]
