I used to eat so many.... Id put a huge spoon of mayo over them with pepper. Now I can probably do 1-2

This. Work your way back into it if possible. If you are able to move both legs, you are one of the lucky ones.

i could have done better at dinner, but did great at breakfast. Had a few too many glasses of Proseco, but did somewhat ok on the desserts. Got on the scale, and this morning I was down a lb :)

It sounds like you're a tough cookie, and thats great. But, not everyone is. It doesn't make it sad either, it's just different for everyone. Sorry to hear about the health issues and hope they get resolved.

The Frozen yogurt!

Sounds difficult, but if it works for you guys!!!

This sounds like, vasovagal drop....I probably butchered the spelling. I had this a lot in my late teens early 20s, doctor said what everyone else did: eat more salt, caffeine. If your tests come back ok, try to add an extra cup of coffee to your day!

Why 500? I fast, mostly 16:8, but sometimes 20:4. But I always eat the 1200ish

so needed this thread right now as a reminder that de-stressing IS possible even though changing some circumstances is not. The holidays are incredibly stressful for me, wishing everyone the best coping mechanisms possible!!

maybe some self care things in the meantime, treat yourself by getting your nails done, or something you enjoy. It is paramount!

I find drinking tea really helps. My cupboard is stocked so I always have variety of teas

Intermittent fasting

The comment literally above mine.

I only come here to see the hate for IF. I love it, I've also noticed that it's helped with digestive issues that I have. Genoa me stay in my cals, I feel like I have more energy. I'm happy on it!

chill out there Mashed Potatoes, and stop throwing the baby out with the bathwater

Not just Google but Google Scholar! My university of old doesn't maintain licenses for alumni...the reader can check out the articles to see if they are peer reviewed if they are so inclined. There are positive and negative and neutral effects I am certain with anything, even with IF. Everyone can say it has no positive…

I happen to think that having a wide breadth of studies, negative and positive, are helpful. There are positive ones in there. If I just wanted POSITIVE I would have changed my boolean query...instead, I used a very unbiased 'intermittent fasting'.

That I'm just a lazy girl with things given to her. I am far from entitled and my parents made me work for everything, including love that is clearly not available from them, so when people assume that I've had it easy I want to smack then. Also, a lot of ppl assume that I'm "too nice" because I'm quiet. I just don't like…

I try not to weigh myself daily because: A) I'll be disappointed if I don't lose B) I act like an addict. If I do lose I behave as though it was easy, and that breaking my calories will be easy to bounce back from. Which it never is. I try for weekly just to make sure I'm on the right track and for a bit of motivation

I know I am going to get boo'd for this, but I also have some kind of IBS. I'm 32 and have had a colonoscopy which is still fairly young to have one. Mostly my stomach KILLS me before I need to dismiss myself. When I was in labor last year, I was like "this feels familiar", that's how much it hurts me. I started IF a few…

I think it's odd that we eat meat at all. We think we are so smart that we condemn other cultures for eating animals like dogs. As if their lives are more important than a cow, which is revered in other cultures? Obvious points, but points nonetheless. Btw...I eat meat (or should I say, "animals")

I have barely looked into research. That being said, I don't experience stomach pains anymore. I think eating my calories in 2 meals close in proximity is definitely doing something to my digestive system. But I've only been at this for a few weeks so I will report back.

I hope you tell him that too!! People often dont know when they are minimizing

By this thinking, no one food is bad for you. Just like food can poison is it can rejuvenate us. Not in the ways we always want, and moderation is best, but don't throw out the notion that some foods actually are "super" foods.

Seriously, there are so many beautiful places in the world. And we choose to live where it is cold af.

All those women are muscular. You would have to work out incredibly hard to become more muscular than them.

Studying for my network certs. Fell off the wagon with a lot of work stuff, but I'm hoping to certify by end of year.

I am in love with IF. Started a week or so ago. Most days I do 16:8 and others 20:4.
