I have heard the same. Just 80% food and 20% exercise, but the message is the same: focus on the food instead of exercise. Exercise is good for you, no doubt, but to lose wheigt the food is more important.

Also short here. I mostly do cardio - biking and running. But in the fitness-center I mostly do weight training. I'm at the center approx once a week, so my primary activity is cardio as I bike every day and run 2-3 times a week. Not because I am short, but because it fits my everyday better to do it this way. Have you…

Seek out the Low Fodmap diet. The Monarsh University have made a very good app for the diet. But remember it is only temporary that you should stick to the restricted diet. I did the diet for 4 weeks and then gradually reintroduced the excluded food over the following months. I now eat allmost all food again, but without…

I don't make different meals for the kids. They eat what we adults eat - meat, sauce, vegetables, potatoes etc, no need for differences. As for the kids leftovers they are tossed out, but most of the times there is very little leftovers from them as they take the food themselves - they are 5 and 10 year old slender boys.…

Because of my IBS (irritated bowel syndrom) my childhood was full of "don't eat"s. Don't eat white bread, cornflakes, skimmed milk, candy, fat food and so on.... So when I moved away from home I ate all the forbidden food - resulting in wheightgaining and stomachache. So I quickly stopped again, but not after gaining…

Yep. Same here as well

I miss not thinking about every bite....

Nothing really..... Just learning to just take 1 slice of cake instead og 3 :smiley: And that sodas and candy are occasional and not everyday. Only using 1 tsp of sugar in the coffee instead of 2 etc. White bread is almost completely out of my diet, but that is more because it gives me constipation and stomach ache. I…

Thats just it - i did not loose wheight on 5:2 - or I did very little and gained it just as fast again. Either becauce I was eating more than I thought, or becauce of the stress of fasting. I take long pauses from fasting because of the stress of the fasting. I dont sleep well, tend to overeat, get dissy and loose…

Thanks. I have put the kcal count to 1600. Its more agreable for me - I just hope, that I loose wheight.

Well comming from 5:2 fasting diet with 1900-2300 kcal on non-fasting days I just think 1300 is a very low daily intake. Wanted to try calorie-counting, as my body stresses too much from the fasting and I am tired of gaining the lost wheight in the periods of not on 5:2.

I just checked it again. 0,5kg a week = 1300 kcal a day I alm female and 41 years old. I bike 7-10 km every day, run 1-2 times a week and have about 10.000 steps a day. I have set the activity to lightly active - if I change that to active it recommends 1570 kcal a day.

On fast days, only 500 kcal. Regardless of excercise. The most correct TDEE is if you set a realistic amount of excercise. My TDEE is about 2000 kcal including excercise, so that is how much I should eat on non-fasting days. Then there is days with more or less excercise, but that has been taken into consideration when…

Thanks. I will try to continue not wheighing, because it really is a motivation-stopper for me. If I at a point feel like wheighing the food or if I dont loose wheight at all, I will try to use my scale more. Most of the times I eye-ball the food or measure it in handfulls (mostly veggies) or tablespoons (butter, nuts,…
