If you're focus is to lose weight and lean out, then cut back on calories, thats a no brainer. Its really impossible to lift enough to compensate for overeating.Cut back 500 calories a day from what you are eating for two weeks and if you don't see weight loss and or leaning out, cut another 500 and try that for two to…

To Pizza Whisperer at the top of the page. For sure find another alternative to chicken kebabs and when you want some pizza either find a healthier version that fits into your diet or have your regular meal and add one slice of the stuff you crave from time to time. I do believe that over time when you replace the stuff…

@ must be nice. I identify. I don't believe in cheat meals as a regular "thing" and i work my butt off to keep my weight where I want it, a half a pizza and i'd be working all week to just get back to where i was before the pizza. I believe in staying on track and knowing that from time to time you will have days you cant…

We often confuse "cravings" and hunger. They are not the same. Cravings are like some secret signal we think our body is giving us that we "need" something specific to satisfy our body. When in fact it is often just cravings for things we are used to reaching for out of habit and or social cues. For example, dessert after…

Steak and green beans or the grilled chicken salad would both be great options. I don't "do dessert" when I go out but if you feel like splurging cause it will make you feel better I'd think about sharing something or just having a couple spoonfuls. You know yourself best. For some people a few bites and they are like,…

Never had any Keto flu. Not even sure what thats about. So yes you lost some water weight. Whats your weight loss goal? After the initial water weight you'll know if its weight loss. I mean how much water weight can you be holding onto? I feel better when my weights where I want it and like hell when its not. I fluctuate…

Great thread. Someone earlier said your mental health is more important than sideeffecys,of weight gain and she's right, but its not one or the other. Track yiur food intake and add exercise which is goid for aiding in depression trestment anyway. Dont self prophesize you'll put on weight. You can control alot of it with…

High fives to all those dealing with any mental health issues,and fighting to be in charge of their destiny.

Just need to finfmd the right fit. Gym is my…

I use My zone. Love it. Why do I need to track my day at work walking around etc. Thats,my baseline, it's nonsense to track it. I wear it for cardio and lifting, maybe if I hike and once in a,while in yoga for the hell of it. Its,to motivate my workouts. To see my heart rate during Hiit and to keep track of how many days,I…

It's good to know that certain prescription drugs can cause weight gain and yes much of it is from appetite increase and some from how it affects your hormones, insulin etc.. Its important to know this so that if you gain weight on a prescription medication and its out of control you are prepared for it and can add…

i have a little tiny quarter cup tupperware plastic container. If i eat icecream or homemade pudding anything like that, i eat it in that little container. One, it limits my serving, two, I know what i ate. If measuring is such a big deal buy individual serving type products, I.e. Skinny Cow bars or ice cream sandwiches,…

Parmesan cheese wisps!!!!!

@Hearts 2015, Fage yogurt is awesome and it comes in full fat, low fat and fat free last I checked. Also if anyone does use low fat products and it's always an option, make sure that the fat has not been replaced with fillers. Yes on some products when the fat is reduced the sugar content goes up but not always…

Yes!!!!! Ty!!!

So do you think people who are overweight and/or obese should have to pay more? I think something needs to be done to make people more accountable for their health in general. Right now its easier and cheaper to the individual to have the medical community treat obesity and its medical outcomes such as diabetes, knee…

How many total calories are you taking in a day and what is your start weight? I'm guessing you are having some general withdrawals from foods you are used to (like sugar) in addition to way too low carbs and likely way too l little calories. Any diet is a journey. Yes, its great to go in full throttle but if you starve…
