"Counting calories is an eating disorder. " So I guess making sure your checkbook is balanced is a financial disorder with this logic.

I usually bite the bullet and workout. Exercising helps my cramps.

Yep, I was doing 16:8 without knowing it!

I remember asking my mom why she had no boobs as a young child (she is almost flat chested) and she cried all night. I felt horrible I was 6-ish. Kids are blunt. It's okay to cry and feel bad, but at the end of the day you have to accept you. My son knows I'm fat, but he's going to watch me change that. So cry, and have…

Sorry, I'm a college student but I'm on here to bodybuild and make sure I don't gain the college pounds a lot of people do. Best of luck! College is stressful. :)

This is the second time I've seen you tell someone IF is unhealthy. Please go look into it, it's not for everyone but just because some people work better with IF instead of eating small meals all throughout the day doesn't make it bad. It makes it different.

Try to eat a little lighter the rest of the day, tomorrow maybe write out all the food you can eat and then designate a time to eat it like cup of cereal: 6am, banana: 8am ect? That way you can space out your eating and it will slow you down.

Yep, was doing 20:4 but now I'm doing 21:3. I've been losing weight with it. Kind of hard to eat 1400 calories in 3 hours.

5'5" trying to lose 5-7 more pounds (trying to get body fat % down so I'm eyeballing how much padding I have to lose). Currently 147.0 lbs, goal weight is to eventually bulk into 160 lbs range (female body building). The closer you get to your goals be super careful about counting, the margin for error can't be as big. I…

Just For Today: 1-9-16 1. Ab Routine 2. 30lbs Routine 3. 1200-1300 calories 4. Food Window 4:30PM-8:30PM

I only eat my bmr 3 days a week, the other 4 I'm under. Just don't eat under 1500 since you're a guy.

Yeah and some people still believe we only use 10% of our brains. Forums =/= Evidence. You burn calories sleeping yes, but that is your bmr. If I burn 1450 because that's my bmr, i don't burn anymore sleeping than I do staring at a wall. Breathing, pumping blood, all costs calories. We burn calories when we sleep, but it's…

Yeah the whole don't eat like 3 hours before bed is a myth that will not die.

Yep. First semester of college i ate maintenance calories. And now I'm back to losing. I will admit I got a little spoiled so being back on the diet makes me yearn to get back into maintenance land even more. Just be careful to make sure you don't gain. Weigh yourself and track.

Obesity is normalized these days. She's jealous and in denial and projecting it on you. Just ignore her.

Water. As a faster it's what gets me through my last 2 hours of my 20 hour fasts. Peppermint tea too.

I'm a freshman in college. I'll add you, I'm on here to help keep the college weight gain away.

:) Yeah I didn't just wake up one day and decide to go 20:4* out the gate. I believe I went 14:10 then 16:8 and then 18:6 and only after that became like nothing did I move to 20:4. * For those asking yes it means you fast 20 hours and then have a 4 hour eating window. Right now I cease eating at 8:30PM and do not consume…

Just For Today: 1-7-2016 1. Ab Routine 2. 30lbs Routine 3. 1200-1300 calories 4. Food window 4:30PM to 8:30PM 5. Dance 60 minutes

5'5" MFP has me at 1530 to lose one pound a week but I usually come in under 1400.

I would use MFP unless you are weight lifting to build muscle mass. 216 sounds ridiculously high, even if you were bulking.

I have to amend this because I woke up today with a bad neck. Just For Today: 1-6-16 1. 1200-1300 calories 2. Ab Routine 3. New Food Window 4:30PM to 8:30PM 4. Dance for 60 minutes Alright, hopefully tomorrow will be smoother and I can get back on the wagon lifting.

I do 20:4, I was using it to maintain but now I'm doing it with a deficit. Makes it really easy to eat 1200-1400 calories a day when you only eat dinner.

1. Nope, 1208 (I know) 2. Yep 3. Yep 4. Yep (it wasn't as hard as i thought to move it from 3PM-7PM to 4PM-8PM) 5. Yep Just For Today: 1-6-16 1. 1300-1400 cal. 2. Ab Routine 3. General Fitness Routine 4. New Food window 4:30PM to 8:30PM 5. Dance for 60 minutes

I thought there was word on them working on an American one now?

In this thread: People continuing to spread rumors that Intermittent Fasting is dangerous.

Fruits most definitely need to be weighed and logged. You can gain weight eating over your allowance in fruit, your body doesn't care that it's "healthy". As for vegetables I will eyeball how much and record it. Fruit can screw you over.

Closed, mostly because it's personal and as an Intermittent Faster I forgo breakfast and lunch which doesn't mean my diary will be very helpful for anyone trying to eat small snacks to see I ate all my calories in the form of a huge dinner. I also like to pre-plan, usually before I go to bed I have a good idea of all the…
