  • 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…
  • Go into the challenge section and join one of those
  • 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!
  • They never said it was prescribed, just that they're taking it.
  • It is true of any way of losing weight. Unfortunately, with wegovy and ozempic it's really been sold as this magic elixir that just makes the weight effortlessly drop away with no thought and you'll never have to worry about it again. I'm absolutely all for these drugs for people that want to use them, it's also important…
  • 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.
