This thread has a the feel of a low carb diet argument. Maybe over many redirects, or attempts? Physical conditions impacting CICO MY EXPERIENCE: I weigh almost half what I used to. When I was taking acto plus metformin, it did change the CICO equation efficiency point. As I lost weight and got in shape I burned calories…

Exercise the calories off There is no cheating. It is just math. There is calories in and out. If you are run down and feel spent, it may be time to look at your nutrition you are getting or size of calorie deficit There lots of half truths on MFP, like a calorie is hat a calorie. Nutrition goes to how you feel and…

Steel cut oatmeal with some coconut oil as a base and toss in some blue berries or sliced strawberries Or both! Sugar free cool whip spray can. Pack of stevia. If feels so right it should be be wrong.... But it is actually super healthy. Steel cut oatmeal is FM.

Shakeology I eat all kinds of prepackaged foods for the specific use. It is about convenience though, not my normal way of eating Quest bars, Cliff bars, GU gel packs, Accemeraide mix, Muscle Milk cartons, EAS protein bars. Any of that stuff is great on a bike ride or in my gym bag as an alternative to a drive thru burger…

It is a "food relationship" issue. If there is a link between eating all the holiday food with happiness, that is a bit of a warning sign that there is an unhealthy situation. I enjoy a bit of it, in moderation, and on days I have a chance to burn it off. The first year I passed on all of it. The second year I had a little…

Triathlon

I Did normal cardio workouts and lifting as I lost weight. Exercise and diet together work very well. I tried a few hobbies once closer to target weight. Over time things evolved into triathlons. The cool thing is this, you have choices! You always will. Try it all and enjoy your fitness. You may make new friends along the…

You have to see how the MFP calorie credits work for you Use cycling as an example. MFP owned Map My Ride has huge calorie burn numbers given. Nearly double what Livestrong cycling com give for a given speed, time, at a body weight So..... In some activities, eating back what MFP says you earned can wipe out your calorie…

Only if done while shopping There is another thread on calories burned while shopping If you combine the two, the synergistic burn would probably be about 7 an hour.

I had full on metabolic syndrome High blood pressure Type 2 diabetic Weight Cholesterol The whole enchilada Ha Calorie deficit in the confines of limited simple sugars with exercise was the best medicine per my doctor. Metformin can supposedly help weight loss. But soon after I started losing weight and went on a lower…

Black Friday, at Wal-Mart? Yes Otherwise no.

Yep I do it daily 90 minutes every weekday If you eat a lower carb dinner and hit the cardio empty it will help your mitochondria gradually shift the fuel burn percentage more in the fat for fuel direction It takes time to become more fat adapted I would suggest you google Mitochondia endurance training. It is a medical…

Search calorie burn on bike as your topic on Google Lots of results will come back A conservative estimate is 40 calories per mile of you go at it Or just use a heart rate monitor and go at a steady pace. They do better on steady state exercises for calorie burn calculations When I first started weight loss I didn't do any…

No program Ran till I got tired and walked a bit, then ran I got a bike and ride hard till I needed to ride easy Rinse and repeat You have to pay attention to your body and your limits anyway.

Nice post and lots of great info I'm not a beginner. I follow that basic advice on compound exercises for my two days a week of lifting, sometimes only one day. I train for triathlons and find the compound exercises are the best way to preserve lean body mass when focusing on long rides or long run workouts during the…

This is it, more often than not.

I was tired after dinner But I had some ice cream that put me over on calories so I jumped on the stationary bike and worked it off

I cycle and run And lift once or twice a week You can eat at a slight deficit and burn needed calories from fat while cycling and slowly add muscle with dietary protein At a point you get as lean as you want. It will be a new challenge to carry 10 extra pounds of muscle and cycle 100+ miles a week and keep the weight on.…

Two days of rest is not a bad idea. It sounds as if you do "recovery workouts" where you don't stress yourself but get your blood flowing with spin and swim. I would not push hard for that last week. You seem to really be preparing well. And there are more races to run. You dont have to overtrain for this one. In the…

Not everyone likes to go to the gym

Only during practice run weekends for races. Saturday was a 53 mile ride and straight into a 10K run Sunday was 30 mile recovery ride I ate lots of good healthy food, and one whole small pizza that was not exactly healthy but I didn't eat the crust. Ha! So depending on activity, I may or may not count calories. Normally I…

I would say add fibrous veggies. Carbs are not evil. Although I am a moderate carb eater, that may seem contradictory. Empty sugar calories are all I restrict for nutritional reasons At 1100 calories it would seem You would slowly burn off body fat. Getting a little more active probably would do it. When you are down to…

Calorie restriction and an increase in activity works Lower carb works for those with insulin sensitivity I ended up fairly low carb because I eliminated sugar calories with no nutrition like doughnuts. And i added lots of veggies for nutrients It just ended up in the 100 carb or so range So..... Whatever makes you feel…

Skip it I do usually Once I eat breakfast it wakes up the hunger monster A protein shake or a chunk of dark chocolate does me fine for breakfast If you have not tried 80% cocoa chocolate google it Very good for you and is lower sugar And chocolate for breakfast? Yum!
-
I like real actual holiday treats sometimes Splenda is good to add instead of sugar for me But it isn't that big of a deal to just exercise a little more and burn off that yummy good piece of real pie Whatever works for you. It isn't like I will ever ever have a brownie again in my life. I just know I need to burn it off…

It does that on occasion They come back usually Buggy thing with the MFP app

Learn to like the cold? I have a trainer set up on one of my bikes and watch tv on the bike At a pint it just isn't as much fun as riding outside but it is what it is I have an elliptical for a change up but it is still inside The gym is a nice change up too
