Lol well yes there's your opinion too. :)

There's a yoga app I used for a long time called GAIAM, you can pick your difficulty level, length of time you have, and even target specific areas for chronic pain. I get super tight from sitting in an office all day so their 10 minute yoga for runners has been a live saver for me. Did it 5x/week for about three or four…

If you keep targeting those areas in particular during exercises you're going to actually make them BIGGER, not smaller, because you're going to be adding muscle underneath the fat. Quick example of one of the biggest misconceptions is thinking 500 crunches a day is going to give you a flat stomach... no... it's going to…

Man you are so disillusioned, haha. That's okay though.

Two-Good yogurt has been the one I haven't found anything to beat it. Runs about 2-3 grams net carbs I believe.

It's interesting how you're assuming I'm calling potatoes unhealthy here... this is a stupid conversation but nonetheless OP said they were concerned about getting enough protein during a family dinner. My suggestion was take out a filling carb and replace it with more protein that is available to them.

I never said it did? But it 100% affects my mental state. And speaking personally, trying to fine-tune myself from 20% to 18% body fat, yes, the little things start to matter. A potato on it's own isn't inherently "evil", no, but if we're talking your grandmothers famous butter-smashed potatoes with whole milk and sour…

Completely disagree, but it depends mostly on your mental attitude. Honestly I feel extremely proud and triumphant for passing on delicious but unhealthy foods and opting for something that is going to fuel and nourish my body.

I'm going to attempt to answer this question without jumping on the wagon of "omg that's so much protein, why". Protein is 4 calories a gram. That is non-negotiable science. So you're staring down the barrel of at LEAST 640 calories of protein every single day. Some expensive but easy options that won't make you feel like…

Totally down! Feel free to add me and we can share food diaries.

That's awesome, great job!!

Feel free to add me as I make my food diary public! Keto and fat-adapted since January/Feburary.

A week of anything is "okay", it's not going to kill you. If you want a higher protein percentage, put more protein available on your plate. If Easter dinner is ham, potatoes, veggies, etc, nix the potatoes and double or triple up on ham. Easy.

Just started my first day, doing 16-hour fasts on cardio/mobility days. Good luck!

If you're trying to eat at 1450 and not able to do it, chances are it's just too low for you. That's why your weight keeps bouncing from loss to gain. Scale back reasonably and go from there.

Cheese is great if you're going low-carb. It's a very filling high-protein/high-fat food that's easy and portable. "good for you" all depends on a lot of things. Obviously eating 5 cans of Cheese Whiz a day isn't good for you.

Thank you! I've definitely felt food-guilt before as well. And it was always before I started this 'scheduled cheating' stuff. Often times if I had a little too much to drink and someone busted out the potato chips, or asked "hey, who wants to order pizza?". The next day I wake up and just think god what did I doooooo.…

Mid-month I'm starting IF approx. 4 days a week and interested to see how my body responds. Basically forces me to skip a meal and do some fasted HIIT. Hoping it accelerates fat loss. 16 hour fasts, nothing outrageous.

Anything by Thich Nhat Hanh I’d recommend for anxiety or stress.

Legit if I need extra calories from fat at the end of the day I’ll just pour some EVOO in a shotglass and shoot it lol

This is something your doctor would be better off answering, but if you’re feeling pain then yes I’d stop.

So the first number is your calorie allowance for the day. The second number is the calories you ate. If you hve 2000 calories a day and ate an egg (70cal)... 2000 - 70 = 1930 calories left for you to eat that day. Now if you exercise (third number) you are GIVING yourself the opportunity to eat extra calories. Say you…

I appreciate you taking the time to provide the screenshot, I'll give it a try. I guess what makes me leery is I take about a 2-3 minute rest between sets so it's hard to think I'm actually burning as many calories as MFP says. Usually I've just been logging my cardio.
