I would just tell her to try her best and be gentle on herself. It's not my place to destroy someone's dreams, especially with no real evidence that I am right.

Extra lean ground turkey/chicken is my main protein. I use it like ground beef. Just note that the more 'naked' it is, the more it tastes like chicken (I think here the turkey is actually chicken) and it's more beefy covered in things like chili.

I keep em because I still love pizza ha.

I quit the keto diet because I don't eat the same amount of calories every day. I have hungry days. And even though I lost overall, I gained 6 lbs TWICE and both times it took 3 weeks to come off again. Since I have stopped I can eat a whole pizza and still lose. I was so strict most weeks out of fear of gaining 6 lbs…

One of my "friends" adjusted their calorie limit by thousands of calories everyday so it always said they were under their calorie limit for the day on people's walls. I just unfriended them. That kind of delusion and/or trickery is the enemy of weight loss and made me feel a bit weird. You can't control what people do,…

I am a strong believer that your body don't know what time it is. I would think it doesn't matter if it is within your macros and you don't immediately fall asleep, leaving fruit gunk in your teeth. People freak out about "late night snacking" all the time but if you KNOW you will be hungry, why not save a couple hundred…

Psyllium husks giveth and psyllium husks take eth away.

Everything is "bad". I am sick of hearing it. I am from the time where they said butter will kill you and canola was "heart healthy" so I switched to canola oil and canola margarine. Within a couple months I gained 20 lbs, but I felt like I gained 100. The sides of my lips cracked, my tongue was white and I was too…

I need to lose 62 lbs total. I think we need to work on not being so mean to ourselves. In my mind my body went from "very pregnant" to "super massive blob ..that's probably pregnant". Seeing myself in a store window would make me mega cringe. My starting weight was 206. How massive could I have been? I feel like we…

I bought Oikos pumpkin spice greek yogurt today. It's very good and like 90 calories.

I find I take comfort in either carefully measuring and logging everything.. or eyeballing and eating intuitively but not combos of the two. I weigh all my meat and most veggies on a scale and freeze them so there is no guesswork there. You got to watch out even while measuring. I found my 90 second keto bread varied in…

The ones that annoy me most are: -You need to exercise to lose weight -You need an ungodly amount of water/protein But by far the worst for me is when people think you can spot reduce. If I did 100 sit ups a day, besides the weight I lost all over, I'd only gain a 6 pack under my keg lol. Can you imagine a world where you…

That's not sabotage. I have had a guy say he would join my diet just so he can break up the whole operation from the inside lol. I have also dated a feeder before I knew that existed. I had food guilt from all the adults in my life pretending it's still the great depression for no reason so if someone made me a plate of…

As a grown up, I don't always like what I eat but it has vitamins and crap so I eat it. If you physically can't eat, you need a doctor. If you physically can't eat, how will shooting down a bunch of advice help you at all lol.

I am doing keto but I am wondering if it is worth it. Sure I am less hungry but there is a catch. Week 1, lost 6 lb Week 2, lost 3 lbs Week 3, lost 4 lbs Week 4, lost 3 lbs Looks good right? 16 lbs in a month. Then I got my hormonal hunger and kept snacking on pickles, pepperonis and cheese strings for a few days. All I…

I have been through so much trying to online date that I can handle a lazy profile, though come to think of it, they are probably lazy in all other aspects of dating as well.. hmm. The profiles that bother me are the complete story about why his ex wife is a b#$#. Or things on their profile yelled in caps that you know…

So many to choose from. Black/missing teeth, cruelty in any form, finding out the hard way that he doesn't shower before dates, and trying to covertly or overtly use me for sex. There are more though, I online date and it always feels like something. Mainly I stop writing them because they are so short and boring that I…

I think that's your uterus and intestines.

Guys tell me I don't need to lose weight too, it can be very discouraging how they go about it. It discourages me from dating them, not from dieting lol, and I will tell you why. I was 204 and I got the feeling they told me that they like me for how I am now because they wanted a biscuit and a pat on the head, but they…

I am waiting until I lose a bit but I feel I am almost ready. It has nothing to do with rejection for my weight because I use (clothed) full body pics and am like: "YOU LIKE THAT?? Look at em.. LOOK AT EM!" xD.. Ok maybe not that intense but since I read countless men whine of "fatfishing" when talking about their worst…

I do keto for $200 a month and that includes splurges on silly things like spices, fancy oil and many types of meat. It is just like a normal diet for me except I am less hungry, lose 1-2 lbs extra a week and feel like a bag of boiled crap if I don't drink enough electrolytes lol. You can't slip up every other day and…

Look into more than 1 diet. I guarantee there is one out there for you that isn't miserable. I am doing keto which is next to no carbohydrates. But I also thrive on mainly fruits and veggies. I suffer on the traditional diet of trying to eat prepackaged foods and tiny bits of stuff like 1 slice of pizza. A lot of people…

Rainwa beat me so now it looks like I copied her Lol Awkward. Please note they were sent in the same minute haha OP: As long as you are trending downward I's be proud. Slower weight loss is more maintainable.

Use measuring cups or a scale and measure and log each item, with the powder and almond milk. Everything. If you have a favorite smoothie you drink a lot, you can make an recipe under the food section that way you can just log a serving of your recipe when you make it. But you still have to measure the amounts when you…

I may be low carb but I have to stay under calories too. It is just like a normal diet except the macros are shifted and I lose 1-2lbs more per week than I would on a traditional calorie restricting diet.

Junebug: What do I do when I don't feel like eating? I massively undereat and feel like garbage, didn't you read my post haha Re_Banana: You are right. Today I drank nothing but salt water with a squirt of sugar free lemonade crap to help disguise it and I feel a lot less like I am about to die. You ain't kidding, it's A…

I am 38 and feel like I am 15 lol. I don't know what middle age is, I try my best not to think about it.

Are you sure 1200 is enough for a man, I was under the impression that it's the minimum amount for sedentary females. Try fat bombs and keto baked goods, they always pack a calorie punch. I made a mug cake the other day and it was over 400 calories.

I lost 12 lbs in the first three weeks but right now I feel like garbage because I can barely eat and I am too tired to go to the store for foods I know I will not keep out of. I've lost all motivation to eat and I haven't been to the bathroom in over a week. So I can't say it's perfect, but when I get to the store it…
