  • My LDL decreased after my diet. It all depends on the food and the activities. It's a fact, sports activities boost HDL and lower LDL. Some food does the opposite. It's not a matter of losing weight, it is about your lifestyle. But in general, Losing weight should improve your cholesterol since it implies a healthier…
  • That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks :)
  • That's not 100% true. For me, exercising has been more effective than diet to lose weight. Assuming that exercising doesn't impact weight loss is definitely false. Of course, diet works well but I believe a good balance between diet and exercising is the most effective way to lose weight.
  • If you get this message, you are not eating the minimum healthy requirement. You can eat less than normal without going below the minimum requirement. The only time I got the message is when I register the diary at the middle of the day (<1000 calories).
  • Quite difficult to know. It might be a change in the daily diet or sports habitudes. Did you change your sodium and carbs intake ? Sodium and carbs are known to help retaining water in your body and you can lose weight significally (you will lose the retained water by cutting sodium, not the fat).
  • Personally I have the Withings Steel HR Sport and the data are pretty accurate. The app is fantastic and you can connect it to MFP. It even looks like a normal watch which is why I choose that one.
  • I do diet, but sometimes I'm eating junk food or go to mcdonald if I have a calories deficit that is close to the the junkfood I want to eat (it happens when I commute to work by bicycle 25km).

  • You will lose the fat on your back first, so even if you lose weight it will takes time to see the result through the mirror.

My fitness tracker calculate base on my heart rate, and Im constantly around 160 bpm during the ride. The weather also make it more intense (32 degrees, really…
  • I'm commuting to work by biking (25km monday-friday with down and hill which is approx. 1000kcal). I do use a sport watch (Nokia Steel HR) to measure my exercises. I'm doing that because I gain 10kg is the last year and my BMI was around 26 (188cm, 92kg). I would like to do a diet that can put me back in the 20 average. I…
  • 1500 is the goal, I'm around 1800 everyday and I'm thinkinh to stick to 1800, this is why I would like to reduce carb to avoid being to low in calorie.
