As far as I know, you can't. The app opens on your news feed page, ads and all. If you want the app to open up on the food diary, put the MFP widget on your phone's screen. Problem solved.

Welcome to MFP. Hope the tracking tools and the community will be very helpful to you.

30 pounds in 2 1/2 months? :o That would require a 3 pound weekly loss. My only tip is to maybe aim for a more realistic goal? Congrats on your daughter's upcoming wedding though!

For me, there is no "were". My eating habits are bad. My urge to overeat is the fundamental cause of my weight problem. Not too many carbs, not night eating, I just tend to eat too much. It's a constant and daily struggle that for me at least, will never go away.

I hate to veer off the IF topic, but this just isn't true. I do occasionally overeat. When I start eating something I really love, I find it quite hard to stop. Like white castle sliders. But it has nothing to do with "sugar addiction". Just badly ingrained eating habits.

How ironic that intermittent fasting is really just about creating a calorie deficit. But book writers have laughed all the way to the bank with the 5:2 diet, the 8 hour diet, the 5 hour diet, the every other day diet, and now the fast 800 diet. smh.

I just shoplifted a donut at the Mini-Mart, so I'm out. :/

I will be so happy when the diet pendulum swings back to the middle toward the sanity of portion control and calorie counting. . Even if it swings to the other side and the low fat craze started again. It would be better than this keto madness. Even as we speak, a keto thread every five minutes.

Forgive me for going off topic, but sapiosexual? I've never heard this word. Is that having a thing for maple trees? :o

This morning the phone rang, and I left the bacon unattended for 5 minutes. Talk about a fat burner. :/

Yes they are. Starches are monosaccharides (sugars) in a slightly more complex form called polysaccharides, which the digestive system easily breaks down into sugar, although not as fast as simple sugar. Fiber is a carbohydrate that is mostly indigestible, but still sugar in it's most basic form.

It doesn't work. I ate a bag of Doritos commuting home on my mountain bike, and gained two pounds.

What? First of all, carbohydrates are sugar. The body doesn't need to "convert" carbs to sugar.. And even on a zero carb diet, there is still sugar circulating in the bloodstream which the body can obtain from dietary protein. OP, I agree with above. Diabetes is a serious disease, and I would consult with your Dr or a…

Walmart has low carb butter on sale, only $4.99 a pound! I'm stocking up.

Go for gluten free, lowfat vegan keto beer. :#

I was alive and well in 1975 when Dr Atkins Diet Revolution was the weight loss diet of the year. He said then that ketosis was the magical key to weight loss, turning the body into a "fat burning machine'". In his follow-up book a few years later, he backed off of that claim, and admitted one could gain weight even while…

Turkey pepperoni. Bought it once, never again. Cardboard has more flavor.

Why are you waiting until Feb.1? What are you doing until then? Just curious.

I would call my insurance carrier about that. "Nutritionist" can mean just about anything. I would ask them if my policy covers consultation with a Registered Dietitian, through your Doctor's referral.

I love getting both woo reactions. This is a fun community and I try to not take things too seriously here. Like egg diets, and the "cheat days" threads that pop up every five minutes.

Well, I was afraid I would get a warning if I made a yolk. :/ dang someone beat me to it. so eggasperating.

It happened to me also buddy. Not a pleasant experience, but it was a wake-up call for me. I strongly urge you to raise your calories back up. We all want to lose it asap, but doing it that way never, ever works. Everyone here will tell you. THINGS WILL BE OKAY. just work at it one day at a time.

Is it too early for a Cadbury Egg response? Fad diets don't work!

I'm thinking of keto rice. Stir fried maggots instead of that nasty carby rice.

I'm convinced they do. I had a diet coke at the Golden Corral all-you-can-eat last night and I am up three pounds.

I once saw a recipe for keto doughnuts. Ground up pork rinds mixed with egg white and deep fried. sprinkled with Splenda. The thought of it almost made me upchuck.

Oh dear. MFP sort of frowns on topics where people starve themselves for three days at a time. Maybe better you find a fasting forum somewhere else on the internet? Regardless, good luck.

That book, if I believed in it, says I should be eating the polar opposite of what you eat, based on my blood type. The medical community panned the book and it's theories as rubbish, but if your diet helped you take off your extra weight and makes you feel great, that's awesome. Aloha! Send some Hawaii weather my way. :)

I've heard it's triggered by an inactive lifestyle, lack of sleep, aluminum toxicity, fungal infection, the herpes virus, too many carbs, and now gingivitis. Tomorrow Alzheimer's will be linked to square dancing. :/

Don't feel bad. I once resurrected a thread so old, dust poured out of my screen. :/
