I wonder if you're undereating. How much weight are you losing per week?

While I do all my own cooking, and I agree it's a great thing to do, it's a tall order for a lot of people. Especially for people who aren't used to it. I spend more time on it than I'd like to. I just refuse to pay the outlandish price for eating out, take away, or ready made meals.

Look up information on the Mediterranean diet. Think lots of vegetables and fruit, whole grain, nuts, and only a small amount of meat.

Curry over rice is a good one. Fried chicken. A big steak with potatos are some ideas

Anything you want, including lots of fats. I have a hard time limiting my meals to 500.

My understanding is it varies from state to state, country to country. She's also saying it's a micro dose, micro dosing generally means well below pharmaceutical levels. For example, I can't go out an buy ketamine on my own, but I CAN purchase "microdose" ketamine. "Microdosing is when a lower dosage of any medicine or…

There are some good exercises you can try to relieve plantar fascitis, so you may want to look those up. They're mainly ways to stretch the ligament on the bottom your foot (one was rolling a ball firmly under your foot). And since plantar fascitis is inflammation, it could be that an anti-inflammatory diet could be…

I would recheck your blood pressure and make sure you don't need to change your meds. As Leichi said, lightedheadedness upon standing is generally from a drop in blood presssure.

No, because adherence to carnivore means eat meat and offal. Nothing else. Some people also eat certain types of dairy, but they're generally considered not very adherent. You'll have to do some researching on the internet to find more detailed recommendations on types and quantities of meat to eat.

I think some of it is that some people with larger calorie allotments don't fully understand that often, those of us with lower calorie allotments simply can't fit in "treats". They talk about sprinkling treats into their daily eating like it's nothing. They don't seem to comprehend that I do it once a year. On my…

How long have you been maintaining your deficit without losing? If it's been more than 2 or 3 weeks, then you need to make sure you're tracking accurately and increase your deficit.

Look up Mediterranean recipes. You'll find a lot online. It's very low red meat, lots of vegetables. I lowered my cholesterol by just cutting out red meat and increasing veg. I still eat fish and chicken (in moderate amounts). Switch from butter to olive oil. Some people will try to tell you not to worry about saturated…

Awe, thank you!

Have you ever watched little kids eat cupcakes? 9/10 of them will eat the frosting off the top and leave the cupcake behind. The cake part is considered the trash part by them🤣

Agreed

I think the issue is conflating difficult with uncomfortable. Sure. Many, many people shy away from difficult things simply because they're difficult. They're allowed. But if one always shies away from anything difficult, there will be many important, worthwhile things you will never do. For me, math and numbers were…

Learning can be and often is quite uncomfortable. It's exposing yourself to ideas and concepts you are sometimes extremely uncomfortable with. Grappling with things you don't yet know how to do. If it's easy, chances are you're not actually learning, but rather doing something you were already able to do or already had the…

Yes! I feel the same way now. It's like it makes my mouth sticky and the taste doesn't go away. For me, I use the flavor packets or lime.

If you're weighing uncooked, look for an entrg that specifies uncooked. Of you're weighing cooked, look for an entry that specifies cooked. Uncooked is generally more reliable for calories, as when you cook food, it w I ll lose or gain an unpredictable amount of water.

Same thing I did. Cut out all snacking (unless it's a fruit or vegetable, no exceptions), and stick to just 3 consistent meals per day. I felt less hungry when my body knew when to expect food.

You can copy and paste entries to multiple days. After you've put a food in your diary, click on it and click "copy to ____ day".

That's a good question for your doctor

It subtracts them from the calories you've eaten. Maybe you're getting confused between where it shows you calories eaten and calories you have left?

I've been on corticosteroids before, and let me tell you, yes, they can definitely cause noticeable bloating. However, the likelihood of someone naturally having that high of cortisol levels is probably extremely low. And if you do, you've got way bigger problems than bloating.

I still remember when I began dieting in the pre-calorie counting app world, where I had to write it all down in a spreadsheet, then go to the USDA website to get calorie counts for each of the foods. Then total it all for the day. It was actually kind of fun. And you learned a lot more about calories in different types of…

Immediate rewards are much more "rewarding" than long term, down the line rewards like weight loss. In the end, only you can make that decision. When I had to go gluten free (celiac) I used to cry and white knuckle the steering wheel when I passed by a McDonalds or Pizza Hut. No exaggeration. I promise, if I can do it, you…

This is a calorie counting app, not a specialized diet app. It's for tracking calories in (food) and calories out (movement/exercise). It can't make decisions for you or tell you what to eat. There are specialized diet apps depending on the diet you want to follow. Look for your preferred diet in your app playstore.

I took each meal section and renamed them grain, protein, fat, vegetables, and fruit. Then I list each food as most appropriate under the group it fits best in.

Yes, except alcohol.
