there isn't any suppliment, dr prescribed or otherwise that is the answer. but some don't believe...cuz its hard and maybe a little scary and has the notion of failure that looms over their past. its not a quick solution and many feel desperate for results. i'm just a firm believer that you must log and weigh for an…

Honestly I think that if you decide you want a "program"...choose Nutrisystem or something that sends you actual food in the proper quantities and follow that program. but to take a pill or drops or something...thats just total woo.
-
I have a sister in law and a sister that are on these "drops" they take..along with some pill..its utterly frustrating to me..only because they have dropped a few hundred bucks on this crap. So get this...they take the "pill/drop" and it curbs the appetite..then they eat some Melba toast and maybe a couple ounces of a lean…

so uhmmm...ya..Hi

your task is really hard. the small guys don't get the attention of the inspectors cuz there are bigger fish to fry. I often wonder if they get inspected much at all unless someone blows a whistle over a bad experience. so then i think, maybe the big players, the grocery store chains that use large suppliers might actually…

if you go that route, just be sure you're still getting your protein. I don't know vegan but many people possibly including you can direct you on the best non meat protein sources. protein is important to you.
-
exactly. there are requirements that enable things to appear on labels and they may not mean what we think they do.
-
i didn't say other things aren't protein. meat is a protein.
-
i'm HUGELY skeptical on topics like this. We "trust" the label... "humanely raised" "grass feed" but its marketing. just don't fall victim to the marketing. if your going to be skeptical about the food you consume, then also be skeptical about the marketing of the same food. its about the almighty $. never forget. its FAR…

Good luck. the next story is right around the corner. there are no guarantees unless you buy directly from the farmer and know the farmer personally.
-
as was stated earlier...you may not like what your asking for. just because someone sticks a cow in a pasture to eat only grass doesn't make it better. Again, I was raised on a farm. We provided our animals supplements for nutrition's sake, not "steroids to make animals big fat cash cows..pun intended". you can feed grains…
-
certified humane...ok call me skeptical but really.....its a marketing ploy so they can charge you more money for it.
-
no one can guarantee the animal was treated "well" thats just to subjective. you rather eat the family pet cow or just buy a steak at walmart with no emotional connection??? I was raised on a farm...anyone selling "protein" for a living is just raising it, feeding it with quality feed and sending it to slaughter.."treating…
-
I don't think a local butcher shop would have just local meat. they get large quantity meats shipped in from who knows where, (they do so ask them) because they couldn't possibly raise or most likely find enough local to support their sales. Buying your own say, 1/4 beef from a trusted local farmer and having it processed…

i never said anything about 3500 cals is a pound. the crux of my statement solely revolves around the fact that when you burn more calories than you consume you lose weight. throw any number you want at it. that law doesn't change.
-
well what would it be then? the question is what makes your body lose weight? I pose that burning (by whatever means) more energy than you consume. example, your TDEE is 2500 cals, You consume 1500, your deficit is 1000. over time, your weight drops faster than if your TDEE is 2500 and you consume 2000 with a deficit of…
-
something else at play here to cause that. the greater the calorie deficit you are under, the more you will lose. its just simple math. there are a lot of factors but math is math. caveat....you have to do the math correctly.
-
so taken to the extreme, no one would die of starvation or experience malnutrition because the body would adjust...and retain weight? Logically that makes no sense. Starvation is a real thing but not really a thing if you have the luxury of MFP on your killer internet connection.
-
what don't you agree with? all that was stated is infact truth. research. google is your friend.
-
great time to incorporate some weight training and take it to the next level.
-
if you have a fit bit. I would recommend Aria. Pricey but logs into your fit bit account automatically and can be pushed here to MFP. I also sync with iPhone health app which pushes to "Happy Scale" which is a weight trending app that i really really like. all that to say, either way try a weight trending app in your…
-
I would also add that when you add in exercise you can eat more because you've burned more calories. when you add muscle through lifting weights, your daily energy needs increase because you have more lean mass to support. so the rule is....do more eat more, do less eat less.
-
your body has a daily energy need. just because you eat a low amount doesn't magically mean the energy need changes. if you take your question to the extreme, no one would starve because the body would adjust...doesn't work that way. That said, as you weigh less your energy need declines because you have less to support…
-
Stronglifts is actually meant to be just for those lifts in the program. Once the weight gets heavy and challenging you will be pretty spent. its only time, so I'd recommend just running the program as it is for your 8 weeks then reaccess your results after the 8 weeks and see if you want to change it up or of you've been…
-
you get a scale that weighs in grams and ounces. selected an entry that is from USDA for a potato. Log it in grams. Weigh it before cooking.

No everyone has to log their food to find success. A couple things it does for you however it give you peace of mind knowing that the amount you are consuming is the right amount to reach your goals. its kind of heading out on a trip to a place you've not been and not using a GPS and going by a general sense of…
