First things first. I would stop tracking your caories. It doesn't appear to be heloful to you. I don't know that there are really any easy tricks or tips. It's about doing the work within yourself. You have to decide you've had enough of starving yourself and figure out why you're doing it and work on dealing with that.…

Are you losing weight? Are you maintaining weight? Gaining? If you are maintaining or gaining weight, you are likely eating enough, regardless of what the tracker says. Losing weight and don't want to? Focus on eating more calorie dense foods like nut butters, cheese, all the yummy high fat stuff basically.

No, I am not logging. But it's about personal preference. If you don't log, use it as a chance to focus on hunger and fullness cues and practice using those to decide how much to eat. A week isn't going to be an issue unless you don't get back on track after the week is over.

Agreed. I'm guessing they don't realize there's a drop down menu under servings. I rarely see a food that doesn't have grams also.

My understanding is that Medicare won't approve it because it would bankrupt them to pay out that much for a single medication for so many people🤷‍♀️ but I don't know

Best thing you can do is start tracking. Make it a consistent habit. Look at the things that use up a lot of calories but you don't really care about, and start either switching them out for lower calorie options or just cut them out. Eat vegetables and fruits. Lots of them. I think many people underestimate how important…

Lifting weights makes a big difference in both how your body looks and feels... at least r I know it did for me. Stick with it!

Yep, agreed. This is some solid advice.

Realistically, they all abuse the animals just by the nature of the business. So, if you're going to eat meat or dairy, that's just a given. Grass fed is probably the only label that I would consider preferable due to possibly marginally better nutrition. You can't trust any of them to be honest, though. They're all out to…

Start simple. Do you drink full sugar soda? Switch to diet. That's a start right there. Then look at other things you could either get rid of or switch for something else. Potato chips, candy, when I'm losing weight I cut out snacks altogether, but that's me, other people don't.

Instead of thinking in terms of "eat healthier" break that down into small actionable steps. For example, do you drink full sugar soda? If you do, change to diet or flavored water. Juice? Get rid of that too. Unnecessary calories that don't fill you up and aren't really satisfying anyway. Just doing that will cause you to…

I generally advise people that, while you can use MFP to track calories, it's a really bad idea to use it to track micronutrients. Because foods are added by regular users, the micronutrients are very often either missing or laughably wrong. There are other apps that are much more effective for tracking micronutrients.

Just a note... the biggest loser was inhumane. What those competitors have come forward describing the experience.... was.... not something any of us should ever be made to do. But I agree that we have become a society that demands a pill or injection because we don't want to take responsibility. That being said, lifestyle…

Agreed for sure.

I think you may want to reassess your goals. You don't really have any fat to lose. I would look at strength training. But you're not really going to get "leaner" because you're already quite lean. But nobody else can tell you what to with your body, so do as you wish.

They once tried to give the kids at the headstart I work at cucumber and tomato's with cottage cheese. The kids revolted. There was no more cottage cheese with cucumbers and tomatos.

A lot of it is habit. You need to retrain yourself that after, say, 9 pm, or whatever you choose, the kitchen is completely off limits. There is no "I NEED to go get something" it's just not allowed. It will be really difficult at first. But if you sti c k with ot, it will become easier. The other thing you can do is plan…

How are you tracking your calories? Like it or not, you're going to have to restrict how much you are eating. You can track calories so you know how much you are eating and how much less you need to eat, or you can do intermittent fasting to restrict the number of hours in which you are able to eat, or you can cut out a…

It does sound like you need more carbs before your workout, not more protein.

Same thing happened to me last week. I was extremely sick to the point I couldn't eat for several days. In 3 days I managed to eat 1 egg. Your body is designed to handle that as long as you start eating again when you can (which it sounds like you did). Maybe people misunderstood and didn't realize what was going on? And…

There's a ton of them on youtube. Just search for clean eating. Keeping in mind there's also a lot of bs that goes along with those types of accounts... since there's no real definition for clean eating. Bobby Parrish is one though.

Only you can decide that. It works well for some people, not at all for others. Ask yourself... do you like fat? Like... really like fat? Are you the kind of person that eats all the globs and rind of fat off your steak and enjoys it? Do you not really care about carbs? As in, it wouldn't bother you to never have another…

How and when and how often we weigh ourselves is a personal choice. Weighing every day is not helpful if a person gives up every time they see the scale go up or is so defeated by it that they refuse to weigh themselves at all. Yes, knowledge can be power, and weight trending apps can be great, but not for everyone.

I'm not trying to argue, just pointing out that blindly trusting a tracker may not be the best idea. And yes, consistency can definitely trump accuracy as long as it's consistently off the same amount.

"good brand/models tend to be pretty close for a majority of people" Not exactly true. Even the "best" brands tend to be pretty dramatically off. Really, the fitness trackers are about as good as spitting out a random guess, statistically speaking.

It sounds to me like the doctor wants the OP to stop doing keto due to gallbladder issues. Not that the doctor doesn't understand keto. The OP seems to be under the mistaken idea that they can do keto and low fat at the same time, not the doctor.

I'm saying this with all love. You didn't give yourself hypothyroidism. Unless you exposed yourself to nuclear radiation. I promise. Hypothyroidism just doesn't work like that. It's not created or even triggered by our lifestyles. It's one of those diseases that just happen due to our genetics. Regardless of lifestyle. Nor…

Eat less. How much less? Less than you ate yesterday.

It's Thanksgiving. Sometimes life and enjoying it with your family is more important than a diet. It's just one day. You'll be back to it tomorrow!
