The massive muscle loss without eating protein would eventually make that diet untenable It may sound bad, but I really don't care about fad diets and extremes. It is a diet that would not work for me. If it works for someone else, that is great for them... But I really don't care or have a reason to. I pay attention to my…

Eating too many calories will break any diet I am a low carb person but I also totally believe in eating at a deficit Not always popular but... I would say count calories and eat at a deficit Use a good digital food scale and add in some cardio to burn calories too.

I have always said my low carb diet was calorie restricted and worked for those two reasons. Lower sugar Lower calories It is awesome when anyone can win at losing weight It is a rare and amazing thing that she has done.

Maybe, just maybe you are paying attention to your food more and eating a better mix of nutrients It could be less sugar spikes messing with your energy levels It could be your body just likes a lower carb higher protein/fat diet Maybe you few good about sticking to a plan? I am one that was insulin resistant and fat as…

I eat a carb max, protein minimum. The rest is more protein or fat, or those fiber rich veggies that my body treats like they are not carbs. Greens and cabbage and broccoli. Now of the good veggies like pound cake or ice cream.

What you eat always matters There is some MFP myth that all calories are equal in what they deliver to our bodies. The deficit is king for weight loss. Either by limiting calories in, or increasing calories burned. A balanced nutritional intake matters too There is no sensible reason to ignore nutritional content. It all…

At first probably diet and walking Then as you get used to that, add some simple weight exercises and elliptical trainer Lose more weight and more exercise gets easier When I lost my weight I did not eat the exercise calories back. But we are talking 300 a day. As others said, just stick with a reduced calorie diet and…

Machines are usually double or so in estimates. Eat half back at most The exercise bikes are terribly high. The MFP cycling estimates are over double what cycling.com estimates. If you exercise 300 or so and take half of those calories from body fat, you do not need to replace them, no matter what the Internet keyboard…

Exercise burns carbs off you eat Do that exercise to make those carbs go away It will definitely help

Love your selection in socks! You have made progress for sure. And you know how to do it I agree with others that throwing away food is the ultimate exercise of power over it.

Low carb and exercise So cheap So easy So effective No way the government or medical beauracracy could possibly support that

I was reading the various posts. It dawned on me... I along with others that have consistently lost weight or controlled weight, have eaten a very consistent group of foods that work for me When I get bored with success I will get bored with this I few and look better than ever in my life. Can't say I'm tired of it yet! So…

Drinking a good bit of water is pretty easy to do It seems like there are potential risks to not drinking enough. It is popular on MFP to so called DeBunk myths of nutrition. I have heard it claimed the water thing is a myth. I tend to think it is easy to hit the water goal with no detriment

I have pan seared salmon quite often. Rotisserie chickens and salads made at the grocery store too Easy is just easy If I was dealing with preparing meals for others maybe I would care about it more

Call it what you want If it jiggles it isn't a muscle So continue to lean down and lift to strategically add some nice shaped muscle that flatter and gets the appearance you want Body recomposition is the most rewarding phase of the weight loss fitness quest The scale may not move as 5 lbs of fat is exchanged for 5 lbs of…

I am flirting with maintenance weight I have experimented with adding back in some lower glycemic carbs like sweet potatoes It has not been as good as expected I have done better just eating more of what helped me lose weight for additional calories instead of eating the old higher carb foods in a side dish sized portion.…

Kettle bell swings. These will work everything you mentioned at once Stiff leg deadlifts. Really focus on the bubble in the term bubble butt.

I like leg and arm warmers in the winter Compression calf socks provide that quite well I don't know about recovery or any other magic Some look cool And we all know cool shoes and socks make you run faster and lift stronger!

Congratulations on your results and hard work! Very good! It takes work and you have done it Well done

This is a goal I can understand and share Not unreasonable to want to look good and feel confident Thank you for putting it so simply

@Kitnthecat You look great! Awesome results and congratulations

Nothing new to add I just shop every other day There is a great fresh fish market here and I love fresh fish! I have found that almost any fresh veggie that is good steamed will taste great skillet fried in a bit of coconut oil. I have also added many new spices to the spice rack. That helps the flavor variety. Great…

The global warming agenda has been thoroughly debunked. Our own NOAA has been caught readjusting weather numbers many times Recently because we have shown global cooling my. Interestingly NASA confirmed global cooling Politicizing food is just another manipulation I would rather eat based on my needs and the raw data. The…

I buy it. Have drank it for 4 months or so. It is fairly new I like it!

FairLife skim milk is pretty low carb. If I consume extra calories, it is usually just more steak. I don't carb binge. Maybe I'm weird. I would rather have another chunk of BBQ ribs...

I was about 40-50 pounds heavier I lose slowly I gained it slowly so I'm fine with it. What a nice line of personal success stories !! Awesome!!

If you eat enough protein your muscle tissue won't go away while doing diet and cardio to burn off 8 lbs of fat I would lift moderate at good form and focus on diet and some HIIT. No reason to worry about your muscles going away. Just eat enough protein.

Compliments usually feel better than insults I would rather get a face to face kind comment than be talked about behind my back as the fat guy

Eat enough protein You body will not magically shed muscle tissue when you eat in a 1 lb or less per week deficit if you get all the protein you need thru your meals.

Consistent work with a good diet works Most people fail because they quit, not because of a bad plan So do what you enjoy and will stick with long term Cardio is definitely a better fat burner. Adding some muscle shape in the right places has a definite visual impact. In the end you can have a healthy heart, add some…
