If you stop taking the psyllium husk you may be able to eat more, it's advertised as making you feel fuller for longer. Unless you have digestive issues and are taking it for another reason. I don't mean to be overly harsh here but you are a grown man, you know that's not enough food for a grown man. You are knowingly…

We don't have Walden Farms in the UK and now I am so interested to see what this tastes like. I'm not usually one to be all "FRANKEN-FOOD" but the way they shove NATURAL in there twice is very funny considering nothing about this product is a natural thing to do to a peanut.

Come on, you know that's the real problem. I'm in the same boat. How can we simultaneously look at our habits, know they're terrible, be scared of what might happen if we don't change and yet... not care. That's a broke brain. A healthy happy brain doesn't keep doing things we know are harmful for us and make us suffer,…

I think everyone in that industry lies about everything. They care about the health and wellbeing of the women they show, even a little bit. They care about women in general, except as an exploitable consumer base. They don't put pressure on the women to lose weight, including job loss as a consequence. All the women on…

You know what, it is a lot. It's a lot to jump right back into, especially when you're feeling like you've undone good work. But you don't need to hate your body, it hasn't done anything wrong. You haven't done anything wrong. Working out and eating "healthy" is not a moral issue, it's just a thing we do if we have certain…

Good grief. He thinks he gets it, but still so very very far away.
-
Agreed! You've tried it twice OP, and while it might have "worked" to lose weight it certainly doesn't work for you long term, so what's the point? You could just get stuck in this same cycle forever. What has you gaining the weight back afterwards is going back to your "old" eating habits after the diet is over. The trick…

"Not good for health" is so vague it's basically meaningless. Sucralose is approved as safe for humans to use with many years of research to back it up. If you want to avoid it anyway feel free of course but there's very little point. Different sugar substitutes have a lot of different blends, that's normal. Steviol…

If you're managing your gluten intolerance you shouldn't still be having food absorption issues. I have ceoliac and I find you do have to check that whey powders are gluten free (like it states on the label that it is, not just the absence of gluten-containing cereals). The end to your constipation certainly explains the…

I genuinely almost said GFY outloud in work reading this lol. I feel the same way tbh. Ballet? Pilates? Yoga? This not clumsiness, not from the way it's presented by the OP. I have ear issues and my balance is awful at the best of times but thinking of not being able to walk down the street without being a fall risk is…

Obvs I am not a doctor either but I would say that the above and generally feeling like garbage would catch up to you before serious heart damage. I used to do that, 1200kcal (on the button, logged religiously) then a run 3-4 days a week and it wasn't long before things got very dodgy and I was risking passing out on the…

You're already going pretty extreme. It is just as simple to lose weight as it is to gain it. You gain it eating a little bit more than you need every day or most days over an extended period of time. That's how you lose it too, little bit less, extended period of time. Read some of the most helpful posts and do it…
-
Same alarm bells going off for me. I think you're already doing the best thing you can do.
-
This is an incredibly common problem but unfortunately I don't think there is a one-size-fits-all solution! When I started my current office job I was still losing weight so I was very mindful of calories and just didn't get into that habit of snacking that a lot of people do. Bottle of water on my desk, logged every…

For me it's about focusing on actual happiness. I know eating well (subjective, I know) and exercising will make me happy in the long term so I plan for that. But on the other hand if I overeat, skip the gym or have a few extra drinks it won't make me happy to beat myself up about it so I just don't. I don't know where I…

Some methods do more than others. The best way to figure out if they're overestimated and to what degree is to pick a method (MFP database, watch, heart-rate monitor etc), pick a % to eat back, be consistent with it and then measure your progress. But, I do tend to overthink these things as well, so I use this this website…
-
The way MFP is designed, you should eat them back. Your deficit calories to lose weight at the rate you chose is built into that 1420kcal. Where that runs into problems is when calories burned for exercise are overestimated so some people are conservative with it and eat a % back until they have the data to know how…
-
I would ask them where they got that information. Vitamins themselves don't contain calories as such so on the face of it it's hard to see how they could have caused you to gain 3kg in a month. From another quick google it seems to be a frequently asked question "do multivitamins cause weight gain" but none of the results…
-
Nope. Excess calories cause weight (fat) gain. Who/ what is "someone"?
-
If you know weight gain is a possible side effect and you're changing your dose, that makes it a much more likely culprit for sudden weight gain than vitamin pills or oats. That's the simplest explanation. Maybe it's the case that the change in doseage is causing a reaction and it will settle again but that's a question…
-
I googled resperidone because I didn't know what it was and the second link on google had a list of side effects including weight gain. Did your doctor not go through the possible side effects with you? Excess calories cause weight gain. So if the oats are causing you to eat more calories than normal then it could be the…
-
if you were gaining very slowly on 2000kcal a day why would you immediately cut that to 1400? Did you just panic? If you have been exercising more and only eating less for a couple of weeks its possible that water retention from exercise or your period or just random fluctuations are hiding a loss. That is a lot less…

Some cereal boxes will give a calorie value for a portion (usually 25-30g) of cereal with 125ml of semi skimmed milk. Is that what you mean? If you do actually eat the portion size suggested (weighed with a scale) and you do use that amount of semi skimmed milk (measured) then you can I guess log them as one item.…

Logging everything religiously worked for me for years, it helped me feel in control and informed about my nutrition (I love numbers and data), I didn't mind logging in public or in restaurants, I love the recipe builder, eventually it took no effort whatsoever it was just part of my day. I still tell anyone who asks or…
-
Same. Also get it when I have the flu which makes sense if they're both times your immune system is going nuts. Usually it's mostly on my arms in particular but kinda all over.
-
I looked up the nutritional info and its saying the serving size is 25g unpopped (2 tbsp) and that is 130kcal. That's 520kcal/100g. So per bag (3.5 servings) that's 25g*3.5= 87.5g so 455kcal/ bag. You can then weigh the popped corn out of the bag and portion out however much you want. If you eat 1/2 the bag that's…

I feel like the OP intended for people to be one-upping eachother in the other direction lol Does custard count as liquid calories? Or gravy? Garlic mayo?
-
What makes you think that you won't be able to control weight gain? Gaining weight isn't about giving up or losing control, it's a mathematical function of how many calories you take in compared to how many your body uses. That's it. You're on a website made for calorie counting so if you estimate how many your body…

Is this real? I can't find this with a quick google. Its both hilarious and a bit gross, if true. No way you'd not get a bit of pee on them sometimes.

I wish more threads went in this direction. If anyone keeps hamsters aim for a food mix with 18-20% protein, preferably from animal sources! Or supplement with delicious mealworms! Also have a cat who eats god knows what, he tours the neighbours and is hella fat.
