Just eat high fat, but low in red meat, lots of plants. Whole grains instead of refined grains

If you did a deep dive, I assume you saw that GLP-1 drugs increase insulin production. Though it does appear that there is a possibility it slightly increases insulin sensitivity as well. Either way, the insulin model of obesity was disproven, so I'm not going to discuss that point. And yes, slowing digestion means you are…

Look on youtube for chair exercises and chair yoga. There are many videos to follow along with.

It helps people maintain a calorie deficit. The studies I've seen show that it is the same, or less, as with intentional calorie restrictions. Studies show about 1 pound per month weight loss (which is very, very slow, and rather minimal). The average total was about 10% of body weight (ie if you weighed 200 pounds you…

The same way you stay consistent with brushing your teeth, getting out of bed when your alarm goes off, putting clothes on to go to work. You just put it in your daily schedule and do it. That being said, some people never will. Put it in at the time m e of day that's most convenient for you and don't make the the sessions…

It doesn't matter (though there are groups of fanatics on here who will try to tell you you really ought to eat this, not that, blah blah blah). You can eat whatever mix of macros you want and you will be fine. The only exception really being type 1 diabetics, who have to closely monitor and calculate their insulin dosages.

Not very accurate at all. Our bodies just don't really work like that. My own projections using my own information have been much more helpful, but even that's just a guess.

If you really need a 2 year graph, then you're going to have to input the data into a graphing app yourself. If it's important, you'll do it. But, MFP is not a graphing app, it's a calirie counting app.

The .7 could be water weight from increased exercise. I would say, though, that if you're trying to lose weight, then given that information, eating more is not likely to be the answer. If you're feeling good, then personally I wouldn't increase calories. Unless you're looking to gain weight (which isn't what you said).

I can't really think of anything that would replace them, but in most cases they can just be left out, especially nuts. And nut butters, if you don't like them I wouldn't make recipes that use them as a base.

There are all kinds of high calorie things you can eat. Peanut butter, milkshakes, chocolate. Add some chips along with the sandwich. Add peanut butter and cream to your oatmeal. Eat nut butters instead of whole nuts. Add plenty of butter or ranch to your vegetables.

In your situation, you may want to track your overall weekly caloric intake vs. daily.

Do they have a darker green skin or a light green skin? Dark green would be "hass" or California avocados. Light green would be Florida avocados. You should,be fine regardless of which kind you use to lig as long as you log by weight.

You stressed your body out and put on water weight.

See if you can find a potassium vitamin pill someone has added and put in the appropriate amount you want to add.

Every single apple you eat will have a slightly different nutrition profile. Every single steak you eat will have a different nutritional profile. Every single watermelon you eat will have a somewhat different nutritional profile. The listing's are just generalizations. Many of the regulars on here make it out as an exact…

Totally agree. I'm in better shape at 39 than I was at 21. Blaming metabolism is unhelpful, honestly. If you don't feel like you can change it, you won't.

Remember that there is no "failing" because this is a lifelong endeavor. You can't fail because there is no endpoint. Keep working at it.

"Easy" 5 km run. 😂 Sorry, can't help myself. Pretty sure I'd die trying to run 5k. That being said, I think you're absolutely right.

There are times in our lives where weight loss should not be the priority. Perhaps this is one of those times.

🍿let me grab my popcorn first. Yes, of course you can. Do you want to? That's up to you!

You can really only do one or the other at your weight (which is already lean). You can gain muscle or lose fat. If you want to gain muscle, increase your calories and lift weights. If you want to lose fat, decrease calories. Pick the one you want most. If it's gaining muscle, then you can lose the fat AFTER you gain the…

1 inch off your waist and dropping pants sizes is amazing! So proud of you.

I wouldn't force myself to eat more. If you're feeling good, it's fine. You don't really "need" to eat enough to support all the fat you have, so as long as you're eating enough to support your body's important processes (and it sounds like you are) you should be fine. Just pay attention to how you feel.

Perfect!

This post is 14 years old. It's unlikely that any of the commenter's are still on MFP. And while you are correct about only drinking beer, I think you misunderstood what the original poster was saying.

You could reasonably expect to lose 2 to 4 pounds over the next two weeks. Healthy entirely depends on what you consider healthy, so I can't really speak to that. Name a food, someone will call it healthy and someone else will say it'll kill you, so it's really a moot question. Filling... I'd focus on protein. But…

Most programs, MFP included, will expect you to simply avoid any meals that contain eggs or use an egg replacement. Most are not capable of modifying for an allergy for you, as they are meant to be used by the general population.

You're already at the low end of normal BMI, so yes, it will feel extremely difficult. I agree with Tom that if you want to build muscle you're going to have to up your calories and focus on weight training first. But, your body, your choice, do as you see fit.

Gaining weight doesn't necessarily mean you gained muscle. How long did it take you to gain the weight? Muscle takes quite a while to gain.
