what is recomp? right now I eat 60-80 grams of protein everyday, I'm hoping I haven't lost muscle, but I can't tell. I've never really had any [muscle].

I'm 44 and yes, I've stayed in bed all day for the past year. I'm in grad school and I just lay here and do research and write all day (only exaggerating a tiny bit here). I just started making an effort to workout in the last month. I went rock climbing once last week, yoga a few times, and been taking the stairs whenever…

bar soap leaves a residue ;-) fyi

this^ the whole "toxin" thing some sort of scam.

haha.. I spent 43 years using hope. Now I do Keto which is the only thing that has allowed me to be consistent with a calorie deficit.

Yes! Going on 190+ days. I like it because I no longer need willpower to stick to a calorie deficit. I am no longer addicted to food/carbs/sugar. I'm only hungry when my body is physically hungry. I lost 23 pounds. I'm still working on eating nutrient rich foods 100% of the time, but I don't crave pasta, bread, cake, etc.…

83 year old male, kind of graying.. face is blurry... doesn't have arms..

I hate it when i push the MFP button "complete this entry" at the end of the day when i'm done eating, only to get a lecture from MFP that it's unhealthy to eat under 1000 calories. Sometimes I go back and adjust my serving size -haha.. i'll change 1.2 ounces of cheese to 1.5 so it pushes me over 1000 calories.. just to…

I have lost 23 pounds eating 1000 calories a day.. CW is 121 (121.4 actually, haha) I do the keto diet and I'm not hungry for more than 1000/1050 calories.. if you don't want to do something as extreme as keto, just make sure you eat fat with every meal. it will keep you full for 5 hours.

I agree with you^ but the fat is actually what keeps you satiated more than protein. eating the right protein amount is necessary so that you do not lose muscle. and to the person above you, you do not know what you are talking about. Ketogenic and ketoacidosis is not the same.. Keto has helped people with Diabetes type 2…

i eat 27 grams of net carbs which allows me to have veggies and once in a while i eat popcorn with butter at the end of the day if i have enough grams of carbs left. I sometimes use up some of my carbs with vitamin water zero... eat enough fat so you don't feel hungry, and your body will, in a few weeks start burning your…

food without "breaks" works also..

You can train your tastebuds to love vegetables. Look at recipes and try cooking them different ways. Or you could sneak vegetables into your food like I used to do to my kids.. grind up a ton of spinach and put it in your spaghetti sauce,, stuff like that.

I just lost 19 pounds being completely sedentary doing the Ketogenic diet.. I love it. In six months when I don't have to do research and writing all day, I'm going to work out, but until then I just eat under 1055 calories (i'm 5'4" and 127). It really is a math problem. Eat less calories than your burn. Your first chunk…

Go Ketogenic! I've never felt less hungry and more energetic in my life. Love it. Not addicted to food anymore.

Any tapping noise, waiting in line (especially when the cashier or customer in front of me is talking about something dumb), and finally, the fact that the CVS by my house has the most awesome, efficient pharmacy, but plays the worst music on the planet while I wait in line (Coldplay, Dave Matthew's, etc.).

Tip: log your food before you eat it so you know how much you can have and make plans to eat more fat/protein if needed..

I've been doing keto for about 3 months. i love it. Use the keto calculator to figure out macros and to get support. https://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/

As long as it didn't have tomatoes or carrots that would probably work

with 9 carbs left, i could eat a little under 1/4 cup of beans.. hmmm. i do miss beans sometimes.

i'm allergic to all nuts

me too!

Giving up carbs was the best decision ever, but I do miss a beer or cider once in awhile.. also veggie samosas! probably could have a shot of whiskey though ;-)

For fruit I only eat raspberries or blackberries (i do the keto thing), but sometimes cherry tomatoes (yum!)

stroke?! dang.. okay.. i'll make an appointment. another factor is that i got my sun spots laser(ed) with pro yellow laser and there was a little swelling in a few spots.. but this sunken cheek seemed to happen within the course of a few days and several weeks after the treatment. I can't find anything about subcutaneous…

can you see it now? was yours like this when you underweight?

I've been addicted to carbs my whole life and binged on sugar nonstop my whole life. I always felt bad because I did not have self control. 105 days ago I went on the Ketogenic diet and I'm not addicted to food anymore. I've lost 18 pounds (completely sedentary) and I haven't needed willpower. I just don't think about…

protein is good for muscle, but if you go low carb, you have to up your fat calories for energy!! I went Ketogenic and weigh less than I have since my before my son was born (in 1990). I'm not addicted to food anymore.. I don't even need will power. It is def a diet you want to check with your doctor about, but it has…

there is some research about diet soda and obesity... i'll try to look for a link maybe... There is usually a small amount of carbs in zero calorie drinks and some of those artificial sweeteners can spike your blood sugar and cause a craving for sugar... google "good and bad artificial sweeteners" I do keto, and i started…
