Yes. I lost my craving to sugar and other processed food after gradually cutting back on them :smile:

It doesn't sound much but it is certainly better than losing weight super fast and regretting it. :smile: Have patience and you will see results sooner that you expect; when I calculated my calorie deficit I got 500/week too but ended losing 4 pounds in 2 weeks, so it's not that accurate. In any case do not consume less…

Been using MFP for 8 months now :smile: Would love to have more friends and more yummy ideas from food diaries :yum: Plus loads of motivation :star:

Okay I'll try that! Hope I do lose weight :lol: Thanks :smile:

Got it! Thanks :grin:

Not very young though :lol: I'm 20 years old, a 3rd year medical student and right now I'm having my final exams, which will end on the 18th of June "plenty of time to gain weight" :cry: I really hope I can do damage control during summer vacation. I know you are right. All I can hope for is that those 1600 calories won't…

Thank you so much! This has been extremely helpful :grin: It's really good to know that other people care about their micronutrients. I was starting to believe I was crazy since that's what my friends and family keep telling me :sweat: Thanks again :grin:

I did! It's really helpful. Thanks :smile:

Thank you so much! This has been very helpful! It's also nice to know that there're other people who track these stuff; cuz my friends and family have been calling me crazy since I started doing it :disappointed: Thanks again :grin: :grin:

This is a VERY good idea :love: Do you mind telling my what method do you use for doing that? Does MFP provide this feature for premium? I use a website called cron-o-meter and I don't know if it can track these stuff over the course of the week.

Well i'm sure not lifting heavy weights :lol: I just starting using light weights about 4 months ago and I don't know when to switch to heavier ones :pensive: I normally use my stationary bike for 1 hour and do a little bit of cardio. But I don't do that now since I'm having my final exams, hence the question about still…

It's not a satiety problem actually, what I meant is that it leaves me "nutritionally" unsatisfied. You see, I love meeting my micronutrient goals, and I find that difficult by consuming only 1200 calories :pensive: and I don't want to use any type of supplementation. Maybe I need to obsess less about that??Because I'm…

I got 1630 calories for maintaining while being sedentery. But usually I set my activity level to "lightly active" because I walk a lot in my room. I think I can use my stationary bike, but it confuses me a lot because it's inaccurate. I usually do one hour in what I believe to be moderate effort, and it says I burn 350…

I walk all the time while studying, but I've already set my activity to lightly active. Which means I need to exercise :pensive:

I just checked and it's 1630 calories too :lol: Guess I need to either cut back on food or exercise. Thanks!

Processed food doesn't taste so good anymore. Plus sugar and salt; I'm satisfied with less quantities of both. B)

Thank you so much! I'll try my best o:) o:)

I'm getting enough vitamin A but I'm not sure about EPA/DHA. Wouldn't walnuts cover that? And I know he also recommended eating seaweed but I still have the same problem :sweat_smile: it's not sold in my region...many stuff aren't which makes it difficult sometimes. I only got flaxseeds a couple of days ago. The nutribar…

Thank you so much! :smiley: I can get the things you said except for brazil nuts :/ I don't know where to get them and they're not sold anywhere close, so I'll try to improvise :lol: This is really reassuring! Thanks again

:sweat: :hushed: Got it! Thanks :smiley:

Thanks a lot :smiley: :smiley:

Thanks a lot for the suggestions! I will switch to full fat dairy and get some avocados and walnuts. No I never considered that :sweat: I 'm trying to get all nutrients from natural food sources. Are they good? "I never ate fish before so I wasn't really concerned about it" I also don't take a multivitamin, my intake if…

It's 60% Carbs, 20% fat and 20% protein "which is 60 grams or so" Do you mean that's more than I need?

It is :smiley:

I'm not hungry or anything since I eat lots of raw fruits, vegetables and cooked beans. But if increasing fat a little bit will fix the problem, then I'm all for it :smiley: I think a ratio of 50:30:20 might be good? "The 20 is protein, about 60 grams"

Well, I'm following the 60:20:20 rule and since I'm allowed 1200 calories/day I can only have 23-27 grams of fat. This is why my fat intake is low :pensive:

Eat to live - Joel Fuhrman "It promotes a strict vegan diet but it also has plan meals for non vegans and lots of healthy recipes" :smiley: The body book by Cameron Diaz. I read the summary which was, like, fifty pages and information-packed. Don't know whether the original book will be similar.
