Eating healthy shows on how healthy you look. You can be thin and look terrible, or a little overweight and look great. What about how your skin looks , your color looks and how about how when you feel good you seem to look better! This all comes from eating healthy. I’m pretty sure that on days that you got plenty of…

Where’s the bacon?

What I notice about my body is that when I walk I need to eat those calories back because I’m hungrier, and on days I don’t walk I’m not needing to eat extra. I’m on my 4th month of maintenance and haven’t gained any of the weight I’ve lost. And that’s just staying in my caloric maintenance. Regardless of my walling which…

Meal plans!

Why not walk? You can walk twice as much probably and that would even burn more calories! I’m 65 and sometimes get in 18 to 19 miles and when I was much younger I would only be able to run 4 or 5

Not bring overweight is good for you, so for all those overweight people telling you that diet soda is not good for you, let’s see if they think their healthy when they are told that they need to loose weight at their doctor visits. I know that my doctor doesn’t ask me if I drink diet soda! So what I think is if you can…

Stop recording what you eat and you’ll start gaining weight. Even if you overeat a small amount of food over 52 weekends and that will add up to a weight gain !

I lost my 65 lbs by not trying to loose pounds fast. I aimed for a 250 calorie defect per day and didn’t get of track when I went sometimes not dropping weight for weeks. Also what helped me was when I started to eat foods that I like , such as deserts consisting of ice cream and brownies and cake and candy, also fast…

It seems that only overweight people tell me that diet sodas are bad for me. I’ll take my advice from people who don’t need to loose any weight.

I lost 65 lbs and eat my exercise calories back ! I put my goal at 1/2 pound a week for weight loss. It was easy for me to loose that weight because I was patient, only cutting 250 calories a day for my 1/2 pound weight loss. I was never starving!

I don’t eat then log my calories. I log my calories for the day then eat that meal plan. Worked for me.

I eat the full #1 meal at McDonald’s, and even get an ice cream cone for desert. I lost 65 lbs doing that while maintaining a calorie deficit! I’m now maintaining my weight at 175 lbs which was my goal weight, went from a 44 waist to a 34 waist. Why are we still having to explain this. Yes you can eat whatever you want and…

Unless you become fat adaptive you need to up your carbs.

I log in my oatmeal with flaxseed and berries every night as a bedtime snack about 30 minutes before bed. It fits into my allotted calories and keeps me from going to bed hungry or waking me up from hunger. I went from 205 lbs to my goal weight of 175 lbs and am still maintaining that weight. No need to go to bed hungry.…

I’m at my goal weight and am only 10 lbs heavier at 65 years old then when I graduated high school and have a 34 waistline. Am in perfect health and no bad number to deal with! So I’ll continue to drink my diet sodas and stay thin and let the…

I couldn’t loose weight doing low carb then low fat then keto then paleo then intermittent fasting Then I finally listened to my wife who always said count your calories. So I went on MFP and since lost 30 lbs and reached my goal weight of 175 lbs. so I guess that’s the best diet advice I’ve ever gotten.

You can have ice cream on a diet if you want. What is it about calories that you don’t understand? Why are we still unclear about how and why we get fat or not? I’ve lost 19 lbs since I’ve tracked my calories on MFP and I’ve eaten plenty of ice cream! My goal was to loose 20 lbs and I’ve almost gotten their and am just…
