Oh yeah, it's a thing :p https://www.huffingtonpost.com.au/2017/11/26/is-bulletproof-coffee-good-for-you_a_23286795/ And... it gets better lol https://blog.bulletproof.com/how-to-make-your-coffee-bulletproof-and-your-morning-too/

Don't you mean the smoothies are full of calories? I eat green smoothies a few times a week and they can be calorie bombs-not from the fruit though, but from the Greek yogurt (big calorie variations), and the chia and flax seeds that I sometimes use in them.

You are in so much trouble :D https://www.walmart.com/ip/Cool-Whip-Mix-Ins-Oreo-Whipped-Topping-8-oz-Tub/905892809 https://www.walmart.com/ip/Cool-Whip-Mix-Ins-Double-Chocolate-Brownie-Whipped-Topping-8-oz-Tub/548864088

Just gave it a try and it tasted really good! Reminded me of chocolate mousse :) I'm not a big sweets fan but it was a nice way to end a savory meal!

Thanks, love the ice cream cone idea!

No clue, I don't track it because it's kind of an arbitrary exercise. I get fluids from everything I drink and eat and it all counts.

Of course-16:8 is just a time frame that you're eating in, it has nothing to do with weight loss by itself though, unless you're also at the correct calorie deficit for your weight loss goals. Tracking calories will help you to create that needed deficit :)

Being overweight is not special to those who's diets are higher in carbs-they're consuming excess calories from all sorts of foods and macros ratios combinations. The typical SAD diet is full of foods higher in fat AND carbs, as well as excess protein. I'd also love to see the studies where it shows that most people…

Either eat it in smaller portions/in a way that fits within your calorie parameters, or find lower calorie substitutes for the things that you're eating. There's lower calorie ice cream options (Halo Top etc) etc.

I'm at 1,350 calories a day, for the .5lb setting, currently taking care of some maintenance vanity weight. I eat at least 7 servings a day of veggies and fruit. I eat a lot of fiber (30+g a day), I hit or exceed my protein goals and then most importantly-I've learned what true hunger is vs wanting to eat for other…

Welcome to the forums :)

Yep, there's no one way of dieting that's been proven to be more successful than another, after a span of time. It all comes down to reducing calorie intake. And to take it a step further, within 2-5 years most people fail at weight management after a weight loss and regain, (many times with extra gains), regardless of…

I eat a plant focused diet and I keep thing simple-whole grains toast in the morning, large salads with lots of different veggies/add-ins for lunch (I usually add a serving of beans to these, I just buy canned and throw them in-no need to heat up!), afternoon green smoothie or yogurt bowl with add-ins and then supper is…

Yesterday, before supper: Vegetables & Fruit--6 Dairy -- 2.5 Grains --3 Meat -- x ; Beans (alternative protein)--1 serving Added fat -- 1 (olives) Nuts and seeds --1 Then we went out for supper and I got a Mac n' Cheese bowl, (tender elbow noodles, beer cheese, sharp cheddar, smoked gouda & crushed kettle chips, with diced…

My husband has diagnosed IBS. We started with allergy testing to rule out food allergies (which run in the family), and then he did the FODMAP protocol, which helped him narrow down most of his triggers. He's cut those things out for the most part, and that's helped. Since the beginning of the year he's also been taking RS…

A note of caution-there are a LOT of inaccurate database entries (inputted by users), so make sure you're choosing accurate ones!

Total gaming nerd here (and I'm 40 yrs old lol). I have MFP pulled up in one window on my desktop and Goodgame Empire pulled up in another :D

Because of the plan I'm following right now (NIH's DASH protocol), I track my veg/fruit intake by servings instead of by calories, (aiming for 7 or more servings a day)-but while I'm not counting the calories of the veg/fruit, the plan has already done the math for me and the calories from the veg/fruit are factored in.…

If you're tracking calories as MFP is set up, then yes you need to log them. There are some here who are doing different plans (WW, low carb, DASH etc), then they may be tracking differently, but those plans usually factor in the veg/fruit a different way. MFP is set up to do straight calorie counting :)

Welcome to the forums! Weight loss comes down to being at the correct calorie deficit for your weight loss goals. All plans-be it keto, paleo, WFPB, IF protocols, high carb/low fat, Weight Watchers, NutriSystem, Medifast etc etc etc, are based on this scientific fact. The key is to find a method that you find enjoyable and…

Oh good grief, I didn't even think of this! Yes, we have a couple acres so plenty of space-I've never gardened before but I could probably manage something in a pot starting out lol. Thanks for the idea!

If you enjoy eating keto/low carb then keep trying to get your numbers nailed down, but realize that you don't actually have to eat low carb to lose weight. Macros ratios is mostly a preference thing-weight loss comes down to being at the correct calorie deficit for your weight loss goals (regardless of what macros ratios…

If you do not want the input of strangers on the internet then maybe you shouldn't post on a public forum asking for input, from strangers on the internet.

I have a 10 year old son who's very aware of his weight/not happy with it, but he's underweight due to his ADHD/meds, and he's very self-conscious about how he looks vs his friends (he won't take off his shirt to go swimming etc). We work closely with his pediatrician and it's been really helpful for both of us-I'd…

Could you elaborate on this a bit more? I went from a fairly heavy meat diet, to pretty much cutting it out besides fish, and I've noticed no difference with how I feel/digestion. Curious to know what you're referring to, thanks!

Thanks for the insight so far :) I'm definitely not stopping with my higher intake of produce, but wondering if I should try to buy organic kale and spinach, since they're daily staples now. I'll take a look at the above links, thanks!

Interesting experiment, it's been a while since I've played with TDEE calculators, I might have to do that again. Which calculator did you use? I've only ever used scoobys (I think that's what it was called)?

I sort of became a pescetarian at the beginning of January, to make room for more fish and then plant based foods like beans. I went from having meat 1-2 times a day, down to non-fish meat 4-5 times in the past 11ish weeks, (all social settings), and I haven't missed it. Started out as an experiment but I'm enjoying how…

Set your loss goal to .5lb a week and you'll get more calories to play with.
