Tried glute bridges; mediocre at best glute activation on the post-op side, but great hamstring activation. No time in my 55-hour+ workweek for PT/sports med, unfortunately; sounds lovely, though. Will try standing on one foot more - that did work a few months ago to get the medial gluteus going, but hasn't worked as well…

I'm sure it effects some people that way, but a blanket "they make you (?) hungrier" statement is incorrect. I wouldn't even go so far as to conclude they make most people hungrier.

Subject/verb agreement issue aside, can you post a link to that study? Because I'm reasonably certain that is not a correct conclusion.

I lost 100lbs without deliberately exercising, just kept track of what I ate. I have 11 to get to my ambitious-for-me goal weight of 145lbs (the last time I weighed 145lbs, I was a junior in high school; that was a long time ago). I got to the point back in September where I wasn't losing weight anymore. I like food too…

I got a Jawbone3 about two months ago. Best thing I ever did. I had no idea how sedentary I actually was (just over 4,000 steps per day on average at the time I got it). It was a huge wake-up call. Now that I'm making a conscious effort to move more, I notice the difference - I sleep better, and I'm losing weight again.…

I have prosopagnosia (face-blindness: my brain doesn't process faces correctly). I quite literally don't recognize myself at my heaviest. My eye color is the same, obviously, and I have a distinctive birth mark which is still there, but it doesn't look like me. I remember the clothes I wore (and I definitely remember how…

I sent you a PM, Scrocke.

Hopefully getting in more activity will help with your sleep. Sleeping so little is almost certainly playing into cortisol issues. For the next week or two, do nothing in your bedroom except sleep. No reading in bed, no checking email on the cellphone, just sleep. If you can't sleep and want to read for a bit, read…

+1 for aacademia-induced cortisol being a factor. How much sleep are you getting per night? I didn't realize how sedentary I was until I got an activity tracker (Jawbone 3). I'' not saying that CICO doesn't work- it does! - but even with my settings at sedentary, I still gained weight at 1200 - 1300 calories (even weighing…

Your weight loss or gain is your responsibility, not your co-worker's. You are responsible for what you do and do not eat. Unless she shoved food into your mouth, you made the decision to eat. You can say no. If she pushes, push back.

Just over 10K. My Jawbone3 fitness tracker goes off if I haven't gotten up in an hour, which is a good reminder to take a break if I haven't been. When I'm writing (academia!....), I use a productivity app (Pomodoro) which schedules breaks every 25 minutes; I'll get up and walk around during those breaks. I also dance…

I mean the following as gently as possible: Are you hungry, or just not-full? When you do eat, do you know / can you distinguish between satisfied and full? That said, it's okay to get hungry between meals, provided you're not passing out from low blood sugar. If your blood sugar is legitimately low, eat a small snack. How…

I would like to know the science supporting your Five Guys burgers bein somehow healthier than Big Macs. The burger from Five Guys is 840 calories; a Big Mc is 560. What in that extra 290 caliries mmake the burger from Five Guys healthier?

Your husband is emotionally abusive. It will not matter if you get a doctor's note telling you to lose weight. He will find something else to harp on. Figure out where your line is (hint: it should be before the abuse turns physical, not after). Good luck.

This. If I cut calories enough to lose weight while I was breastfeeding, it negatively impacted my milk supply, without fail. Some of us don't lose weight while breastfeeding. Cultivate the healthy habits now, for sure (weighing and tracking what you eat accurately - food scale in grams beats the heck out of guesstimating…

Can you set your food diary settings to public? People can take a look and give you better advice if we see what you're logging.

Back! Lost .4 lbs that week. Flight problems, grad school, and tornadoes have kept me busy (yay tornado season....); will provide more detail later.

If you wash the can first, it's clean.

If it were literally poison, the sheer number of dead bodies - on the road, in restaurants, in workplaces with soda machines, etc. - would indicate a problem, yes?

What, exactly, are you eating? Are you not eating enough calories? Did you talk to a doctor about this diet plan, or are you doing it because "they" on the interwebz say "it is supposed to help"?

Absolutely planning on updating throughout. I wake up at 3AM Monday morning to catch a 6AM flight; this officially kicks off then. Re. micros: multivitamin, plus 1x/ day protein bar w. 20+g fiber. I'm not particularly worried about satiety. I think I'll be hungry between "meals", but not to the point where it will be…

You're having trouble losing weight because of your total calories; the carbs are irrelevant. Have you tried eating smaller portions of what you're currently eating? Do that for a month or two, see how that goes.

You suggested low carb, not low protein. If they all work equally as well, why not suggest low protein?

Gouda.

Oh, so... Not sugar free, then.

My husband and I brew our own. It's been a while since we've done wine; our most recent brew was a mead (honey as the primary sugar).

If you're eating in a dining hall, use a smaller plate. As for not getting up and getting seconds, that's on you. There aren't any tips for that.

OP said nothing originally about PCOS or insulin resistance. Since OP is already doing keto, it's a real toss-up as to whether or not she can cut carbs more than she already is. If there is no medical reason for going low carb, there is no reason that low carb will work better than low fat or good ol'…

If we're making points by strawman, "many people" feel less restricted eating higher carb foods, and do not adhere to reducing calories because they feel deprived.

Does a Snickers Diet count as a gluten-free alternative to the Twinkie Diet?
