Lol I do get up at 5 am or so every morning and then promptly sit around and play video games for an hour. I don't go to the gym until after work. This probably seems weird to some people but I am happy with this schedule.

This is not my personal experience, but rather secondhand information from my wife who has CD (I don't). Before she cut gluten out entirely she found that sweet foods like pastries/cakes were less likely to upset her stomach compared to, say, sandwich bread or pasta. I realize that eating pastries while attempting to hit…

This article is a pretty clear case of "well this works for me, so it must be what works for everybody! (Because I'm too narrow-minded to consider that not everyone copes with things the same way as me.)" That said, for me social connections totally was the key - I never stuck with a workout plan until I started attending…

Yeah, that still sounds disgusting

Yeah, my wife and I have found eating out together to be almost impossible because even restaurants that claim to have "gluten free" items don't do enough to avoid cross-contamination and she still gets sick. We live in a town of over 100K people and there is only one restaurant in town that we've found to actually have…

Sodastream is a good deal! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XGd8w9RhUM

OP, if you think an allergen is causing your problems, go ahead and go to the doctor and get an allergen workup and gluten sensitivity test. That said, what you are describing does NOT sound to me like a gluten allergy. My wife has celiac disease and when she accidentally eats gluten she gets violently ill, not just a…

This is huge and is the #1 reason why this system works for me where any previous attempts at weight loss did not. Despite tracking intake I don't have to completely give up pizza or ice cream or any of the other things I love to eat, I just have to work them in to my calorie totals - which isn't actually that hard if I'm…

You will still make progress so long as your intake is less than your expenditure, and even if the elliptical isn't burning as many calories as you might hope, it's still good for your overall stamina. There is no reason to stop.

I'm gonna be a broken record and say that you need to ask professional physicians and psychologists, not random internet people.

Typically if you are using the MFP calorie goal you should eat the exercise calories back. That said, you should be warned that both MFP and many exercise machines tend to overestimate calories burned. For example, MFP claims that if I run for 30 minutes at a 6 mph pace, I will burn 380 calories. However the formula found…

Yeah you will tend to lose a lot of water weight right when you start a weight loss plan, especially if you weren't exercising much before, so you might see a big loss initially. Your weight loss will probably slow down, but if you keep eating a deficit, you will keep steadily losing.

I want to address your post in two ways: 1. 800 calories a day is not sustainable for anyone, especially if you are a more active person. You will feel awful and lose weight too fast. Please don't attempt this low of a daily intake. 2. Once you pick a more realistic/safe calorie limit, then yes, the MFP tracker does expect…

Some of the hype surrounding intermittent fasting seems like health woo to me; however, I usually do it anyway because I just want to be able to eat a big dinner, and it's also a good exercise in self-restraint, which I never really had before. So most days I don't eat breakfast, eat a small lunch (300-500 calories), and…

I feel like "counting calories" has such a negative connotation for many people that I just say "I'm careful about how much I eat." If people inquire further I'll point them to MFP.

I guess this is my response to these kinds of articles: The general misconception these articles give is that everybody who "does CICO" (whatever that means) is doing things like eating 1960 calories a day but only eating donuts and drinking coke. Of course nobody does that because you'll just feel like junk and be…

I have been doing 20%. I might cut it to 10% deficit and see if that helps. Yeah, admittedly that was my first time lifting heavy after doing a bunch of cardio focused workouts for the past few weeks, so that's a good point.

Yeah my daily caloric goal is 1960 right now w/ "lightly active" selected as my daily activity level and that has been working, but I feel like I'm struggling to get 150+ grams of protein every day. I think I may increase it to ~2100 cals and try to eat more chicken lol

Sure, those were just examples, not proscriptions.

That just points to the fact that "healthy" is a vague term (just like "body positivity" and "fat acceptance.") Where the precise line between "healthy" and "unhealthy" is isn't always clear. Instead of categorizing things (and activities and people) as "healthy" or "unhealthy" we should be looking at "more healthy" vs.…

I have only been doing this for a few weeks so you can take my opinion with a grain of salt, but IMO it's nearly impossible to eat an enormous amount of so-called "bad" food if you are accurately tracking and limiting your calories, if by "bad" food you mean stuff like beer or candy or whatever. What I mean is, if you want…

I agree with the others that "body positivity" is an overly vague term. I try not to judge others for their weight or value them less because of their weight (emphasis on "try" because I think we all have biases and prejudices that creep in if we're not careful). I'm not their doctor and it's none of my business to…

no, that sounds brutal. could be fun to do with a team though.[/quote] Yeah we're a week behind the Comptrain schedule so we're doing it tonight. I am NOT looking forward to it. Especially the bench presses where I am weak af.

Did you do that 100 back squats/100 dead lifts/100 bench press WOD last week?

Right, like I could technically ingest 300g of sugar in a day and still hit a low calorie goal (say, 1500 cals) if I consumed nothing but, like, 10 cans of Coke or some other food where the vast majority of the calories come from sugar. But then I'd probably get super sick from malnourishment so in the long term it's…

Yeah @lemurcat12 @janejellyroll city design is different depending on where you are and in my experience Chicago is as you describe - great for walking. I live in Lawrence, KS and while the older east side (where I live) is pretty walkable, the western suburban sprawl has areas where you can go for three or four miles…

Yeah to be clear by "way over" I mean like 200g or more, which isn't that hard to hit if you're like me before I started logging calories - Fruity Pebbles and milk for breakfast, maybe a soda at lunch, Snickers bar in the afternoon, maybe ice cream after dinner.
