I was having this problem also, kept feeling hungry. What helped me was to eat low calorie meals every 3 hours. Keeps sugar stable and no roller coasters which I think helps stabilize appetite and cravings. To answer your question I have 255 for breakfast, followed by another 100 later. But i was eating much more in the…

We spend a lot of time in doors so we are all low on it. I take a low dose everyday without ever stopping because if I do stop, it eventually goes back down. Ive heard of vitamin d pills making someone nauseous before also, they actually werent able to tolerate any form of vitamin d pills. The rx the dr gave you might have…

Keen-wa. I agree the whole if you cant pronounce dont eat it is annoying. But a natural apple or banana is very different than a commercially boxed and frozen meal. Which has a lot of additives and sodium to keep it fresh and tasting good.

Make changes little by little. Decrease frozen meals to only allowing them for dinner, then switch to only 2x a week, then 1x, eventually 0 or only once a month when you dont really want to cook.

Love them

Ive never had a drink with soda actually. Does it make the vodka taste very strong since soda is tasteless?

Exercise helps me clear my mind and I think the hormones released during exercise result in me feeling happy. If I was worrying about anything or stressing out I feel much better after. I find that the exercise needs to be effortful. Something difficult for my level makes me concentrate on that and forget everything else.…

i was thinking about this recently too. Im used to drinking drinks that are alcohol + something sweet. I would now prefer to have a drink with less sugar but then again dont want to sip on something that tastes like straight vodka. Any suggestions ?

Eat small calorie meals every 3 hours. For me when I dont eat for a long time I start getting those binging cravings. So instead of having 1 large breakfast, have a little every 3 hours. Or have some nuts , 3 hours later eggs, 3 hours later small fruit, etc. Spread out your calories.

Another thing, are you taking any supplements? I know fish oil makes me break out in cysts. I am a pcoser also, i dont think losing weight would cause long term worsening of symptoms so I am sure it will subside eventually. Dont stress over it when i had my skin issues i think the stress of it made it even worse.

It could be many things. First I would say that using tons of acne products is not going to help, dont overload on those.. Stick to one at a time. Also I agree with what others have said it could be the toxins coming out or your hormones trying to balance themselves out. For these you should give it some time, they will…

Same problem here. Ill have days or weeks of working out and then if I skip one day my routine becomes a mess. Sometimes i skip a day either because I cant make it that day or i am in pain from previous day but then 1 day turns into a week. I think for us since it is the beginning of our weight loss journey, we need to…

Maybe try letting it stand for a little before drinking

This is a good way to look at it. Save your calories for something really worth it. I try to save sweets and gluten calories only for when I go out to eat.

I know exactly what you mean. I am the same way. And i think we arent the only ones, it is much easier to over eat when you are by yourself and no one is watching. Plus i think when you eating with others you are enjoying the conversation and company which allows you to eat slower.

The reason I call it bone broth is because it is different than regular broth or stock. Bone broth is cooked for a much longer time in order to get all the minerals and gelatin out. I do skim off that fat after it cools but mine comes out really thick, had no idea 8oz had that many calories. But now that I think about it,…

wow 280 calories for 8oz, I have been way underestimating it. I don't know if homemade bone broth is the same as the store bought ones. The flavor is so different and feels a little more dense vs the store bought ones that taste very light and watery. I wonder if it also depends on what type of bones are used.

A person with disrupted levels of gherlin.. Unless they are counting calories like we are, will have no idea if theyve eaten enough or not. Which is not exactly normal, its not natural to count calories, although there is nothing wrong with it but its just not a natural process.

Mental issues? Really? My example was that when the gherlin hormone is affected you dont feel full as quick as usual and instead the feeling of satiety becomes delayed causing you to eat more than usual until you feel full. These are not mental issues these are disruptions to a body's normal mechanisms, metabolism,…

Maybe you are right and overweight problems are a new phenomena but you have to admit too much weight can be the root to many health problems.. Otherwise you wouldnt be on MFP counting calories ;) Also 2 people can be overweight and the same weight but not have the same health problems, so there has to be other factors…

Even during times of scarcity or during times humans hunted for their food, when these people ate mechanisms inside their bodies such as: feeling too full to keep eating or stomach starting to hurt prevented them from "stocking up on food" so that they can endure starvation better later. Of course the body has natural…

If I eat 3000 calories today, I will still end up feeling hungry tomorrow. I don't think the human body was made to eat a large amount of food then store it which would then make it easier to starve later. The normal thing your body is supposed to do is eat when you are hungry and you stop when you feel full or satisfied.

Really? Actually weight can be big factor to why some women can't get pregnant. Also aerobic capacity has nothing to do with someones general health while being obese.

But there are other factors that can affect appetite and satiety eventually causing a person to increase their calories. Yes we all have control over ourselves and if we feel hungry we should be able to control our eating habits, but quality of life is important as well. And if someone is eating enough and doesn't feel…

really?

I think people like to view things in a simplified way. It is much easier to see everything as CICO rather than think about what else may be factored into weight.

Agreed, my only point was that there was some truth behind those headlines found in the magazine. Truth that may eventually be disproven or proven stronger with more research. Or maybe something that doesnt apply to everyone in the end.

Isn't the research drawing the conclusion for them by the scientists doing the research?

I seemed to have missed this post. You are right, this is a really good point that didn't even occur to me. It isn't really "natural" to count calories, we should be able to regulate this naturally without gaining weight. Don't understand why so many posters are against research giving new information. Do you all want to…
