No? There was a zombie thread bumped this morning where someone claimed 1 pound of muscle weighed as much as 6 pounds of fat.

It seems like one of the problems has been over-restricting. Have you tried incorporating sweets/chips into what you eat regularly? It helps to reduce the moralistic view of food (i.e., junk/what-I-ought-to-eat, good/bad), which can help make losing weight (and keeping it off) more sustainable. I frequently plan my food…

Eat food. Go from there.

You would think so, wouldn't you? But I've browsed several of the "muscle weighs more than fat" discussions here where it's clear that at least one person does not understand mass or volume, which is why I brace myself a bit when someone says "of course a pound of fat weighs the same as a pound of muscle" - there are some…

There are days I'll plan things out the night before, when I actually have the time, as opposed to in the morning while trying to get myself and the kids ready for work/school. We also have a dry-erase board on the fridge where we plan out dinners for the week (tonight is chicken mole, tomorrow is pork loin w. roasted…

If OP does her research, she will find that professional research does not support your opinion on sugar.

I clearly do not have the right kind of ACV.

Eat mindfully: plan your day in the morning (or the night before); include a treat, if you want one or you think you'll feel deprived without it. On weekends, I have a glass or two of wine after the kids go to bed; that wine is the first thing I enter into MFP, then dinner, then I plan breakfast and lunch based on what's…

Compulsive behaviors =/= addiction, even if the neural pathways are different.

My son (just turned two last week) had chocolate at Christmas. His birthday is four days after Christmas; we made chocolate cupcakes (did the same thing last year; the cupcakes from Death By Chocolate, too - none of that Betty Crocker nonsense). Then we had chocolate cake at New Year's (also from Death by Chocolate- 380…

The number of times the food is washed before eating it does not matter for weight loss. Eating fewer calories than a person needs to maintain their weight is what matters. If a person goes over their maintenance calories with a thoroughly washed salad and a different person goes over their their calories with a Snickers,…

That said, unless you are very petite, very sedentary, and/or have a thyroid disorder or other medical problem (i.e., PCOS), your maintenance calories are higher than 1200.

We're having ham, collared greens, black-eyed peas, and cornbread (made with GF flour) tonight; will have cake (GF flour) for dessert. Gluten-free is not necessarily synonymous with low carb - we eat variations on beans and rice several times a week. Hamburgers are gluten-free; I eat mine either in a lettuce wrap or with a…

100 pounds over four years.

No. This is woo.

This thread inspired me to send my husband to go get wine last night and fit it into my calories for the day.

Why are you switching? I am not satisfied on mini-meals; I do better with two or three meals plus a snack.

You don't need to be the fastest person in the pool, you just need to be faster than the slowest - the turtle will catch the slower one :) Same applies when running from bears & etc. - as long as there's someone slower, you're fine!

I'd prioritize logging food accurately and getting enough sleep (and doing your coursework). Exercise would be low priority, well after adequate (6+ hours per night, ideally) sleep. I'm a fourth-year PhD student; I also have a full-time administrative job at the University, as well as three kids.

So, working on recovering from an eating disorder? As Diannethegeek said (and your medical team will, too, if you have one), going lower puts you at the risk of nutrition deficiencies, losing your hair, hormonal problems which can eventually affect your fertility, losing muscle, saggy skin, and so on. You may want to hang…

Nearing a 1000 day streak of tracking. Not giving that up.

Duck with chestnusts, kale with bacon apple dressing, serviettenknodel (stuffing/bread), stollen, gingerbread cake,and feuerzangenbowle. I've got my entire day pre-logged already; should be able to keep the entire day under 1800 calories.

False.

This.

Binge eating, especially to the extent described in the original post, has more nuanced causes than a night of binge drinking, and fixing the problem requires conscious work on the root of the problem, not "diszipline". Some things aren't so easily fixed.

Duck with kale... chestnut stuffing... weisswurst... Dresdner stollen... feuerzangenbowle.... I am definitely looking forward to Christmas!!! My food scale still works. MFP still works. Christmas (or any other holiday) doesn't necessarily mean overeating, just eating different foods than I might eat every other day of the…
-
There are a few variants of it. It is what the name suggests - fasting intermittently. One option is to restrict the time you eat/drink calories during the day to a few hours ("eating window"); 16:8 (16 hours in which you don't consume calories, 8 during which you can) is popular; there is some evidence to suggest that a…

It took four years to drop 100 lbs, and I've kept it off for six years (with the exception of a pregnancy two years ago; that said, I am weigh slightly less now than I did before getting pregnant). All of my weight loss was by tracking my food; I did not exercise regularly for a number of reasons. 1400 calories a day…

The "blood type diet" is pseudoscience (woo). There is no scientific merit to it.

If I make granola bars at home, do those count as real food or man made Frankenstein crap? Are they not man made because I am a woman? Does the Frankenstein crap label remain? What if my husband makes them?
