Just going to endorse this post as I feel this is very spot on. Adding to this, please note that while few days you might eat too little (either by forcing yourself to starve or by just not feeling like eating too much), what will happen is that you will end up binge eating. I don't know about you but in a binge I can…

They are clearly not making a habit of it. Even when you are calorie counting, you can have a rare "care free" days where you can allow yourself to indulge. I obviously don't recommend many of these days while trying to lose weight but on maintenance, you will go crazy if you live all your life on a strict diet.

When starting out, I highly recommend you start with weight loss goal of 0 lbs per week (AKA: maintenance). Its important the first few weeks to adjust your body and mind to the new changes you are planning. Suddenly dropping your daily calories by 500 or even 1,000 calories puts a drastic stress on your mentality…

Welcome to the site. It is indeed a very good and useful site to be on. But it should be recognized that like all social media sites, this site has flaws.

Rest as long as needed. Heavy weight lifters (not even talking about competitive ones) rest up to 5 minutes between sets.

You will get a lot of good responses here I am sure. Here are a few tips/suggestions from me. 1) Be persistent. I lost 55 lbs. I am back to where I started and I regret it. I wasn't persistent. Stick with it at any cost! It sucks starting over again. 2) Its a long journey. celebrate the little achievements (don't celebrate…

Here is hopefully a more complete answer. Yes, you can eat only 800 calories. I have had days when I did that. One of two things will happen though if you try doing it regularly: 1) you will develop an eating disorder which is definitely something you should NOT be trying to get to. Or 2) you will stick to 800 calories for…

The answer to this question should always be based on what you ENJOY as a workout. If you enjoy running indoors, treadmill. If eliptical or bike (I personally prefer stationary bike) is your thing, invest in that. There are a million indoor gym solutions. I suggest pick what you think you could do for a long term while…

You can't gain muscle when on a caloric deficit. So probably no.

No. When I am sick I look for comfort foods and bed rest.
