Soup is always a good, low calorie, filling meal

Awesome! Thanks guys for all your tips!!!! Everything sounds so good...lots of different ways for me to try now! :-) (I didn’t know you weren’t supposed to spray nonstick pans...whoops! Good to know!)

Awesome, thank you!!!

I currently weigh 185 lbs (some days 187 lbs). I did a Biggest Loser competition at work 6 years ago when I weighed 144 lbs. For the competition, I started eating 1200 calories (I wasn’t using MFP, that was just a number my husband told me to hit), a day with no exercise & in 10 weeks got down to 124 lbs & won lol. I…

You guys are so thoughtful, thank you so much for taking the time to reply! I love hearing others experience & your advice is very encouraging & helpful to me! :-) MegaMooseEsq, you are so right about maintaining this for the rest of my life & not going back to my old eating habits!! That is exactly what I need to hear &…

Wow, 100 lbs already?!! Congrats!!!! That is so motivating to me! Thanks for the Halo Top tip, I will def be trying that out! Do you drink diet coke? I love it & I’ve found in the past that it helps fill me up...guess its the carbonation lol

Such awesome advice, thank you so much! It all makes total sense! Good to know you also went from eating lots of calories a day to just 1200 & that if I just stick it out, it gets easier as I go :-)

Awesome, thank you!!! Congrats on your weight loss so far! :-)

You sound a lot like me! I’m thinking if I set it at a 1/2 lb per week it’ll take forever! Have you stalled at all? Thats another thing I worry about..that if I start at 1200, i’ll stall & have to cut back even more to keep losing ?

awesome! thank you so much! i will take a look at this! :-)

oh i love this analogy!!! :-)

oh ya & i was afraid to slow down my metabolism by eating less & my body adjusting to it (Fung), but duh, if i weigh less my body obviously wouldn’t require as many calories as it once did to stay fat

thanks!! honestly, i was just falling for all the false info & keto success stories. i KNOW it is not a lifestyle i can keep forever..geez after only a week i was bored with my meals because they didn’t feel like “meals”. i’m sure i’m repeating what others have said many times when i say i can’t imagine never eating carbs…

i’m not sure, but now i’m mad i spent $$ on 2 of his books!! haha everything he says makes sense to me, but everything i’m reading here also makes sense to me!! ;-)

in a way i guess he is recommending less snacking (by means of IF & extended fasts) to reduce over production of insulin. (don’t shoot the messenger guys, i’m just relaying what he said lol)

I believe he said its all based on WHEN they eat...they don’t snack like Americans...that they don’t have an insulin problem because of this (????)

what about autophagy? i’m worried when i lose this weight, i’ll have sagging skin...which extended fasts over 36 hrs are supposed to kick you into this autophagy

ccsernica - Fung says when you reduce calories to 0, you finally get a break from your “fed state” & insulin goes down, your body can start burning your stored fat as energy as it thinks its starving..and that we were created to exist this way..we didn’t always have an obesity problem, that when we constantly snack, we…

ok thank you..i appreciate your feedback guys! i honestly wasn’t trying to be a smart butt..really wanted to hear your reasons why you dislike his beliefs & i understand what you’re saying. you have valid points...all which i previously believed too, until i listened to him talk & read his books...now i’ll all kinds of…

Just curious as to why the people saying Fung is crazy, why do you believe so? Have you read his books or listened to any of his podcasts? Can’t really claim he’s crazy if not. And he’s not all about making money..anyone can watch what he has to say on Youtube for free sooo.. How do you not accept the science behind it??…
