Also, drink lots of water! If you are ill and having difficulty keeping solid food down, maybe consider some delicious (but not exactly "healthy") juices! Orange juice is my favorite when sick. You need to keep hydrated.

No, Halloween candy is not contributing to the obesity epidemic. Even if, theoretically, Halloween candy was consumed in its entirety in one week, you said that's about 10,000 calories? We can't know for sure, but let's just say. And let's say those were all excess calories, that's 2.5 lbs of weight gain. Obviously that…

But a lot of body positive activists claim that you can be healthy at any size and that being overweight/obese doesn’t actually cause negative health outcomes... That’s one of the main problems I have with it.

I followed that statement up with an additional issue contingent upon a tax on unhealthy foods. Also, given those countries implemented the tax in 2017, I doubt there is a visible trend yet in obesity rates. However, my hypothesis is it will not make much of an impact. All tobacco products are taxed at a higher rate, not…

Like others have said, any little bit helps! Just like small changes to diet help! Also, I read a study that correlated working out in the morning with healthier decisions throughout the day so it may have even more benefits than you realize!

Not that this is of any kind of statistical relevance, but I tried an expensive weight loss app before this one that gave me a calorie allotment of 1200/day with 40lbs to lose. It also gave back only 50% of exercise calories. I didn’t meet my goal one single day. Now I’ve only been tracking for a week, I know, but I lost…

This is a good idea in theory but I think it would be virtually impossible to implement. Who decides which foods are “unhealthy”? Every fad diet proclaims some food group as the reason for all our health problems. And even if you got a common consensus on a set of products, then you have the huge issue of food desserts,…

^^^^my mistake. This is incorrect. Emotional support animals are not the same as SERVICE animals. I wrote this at almost 1am, I need to just go to bed 😂 so this is the revision: “Service animals are (supposed) to be well trained animals that perform a specific task for a person with a disability. However, service animals…

There are a lot of common misconceptions here. If you are talking about the US, an emotional support animal is NOT the same as a support animal. An emotional support animal is a companion and is given extremely limited specific rights. Essentially the animal can fly with you on a plane and cannot be barred from pet free…

I’m not trying to be a smart aleck, I am legitimately wondering; what are people supposed to do about the fact that they have privilege? So, yes I have privilege based on certain factors. But besides acknowledgement, what am I supposed to do with that information? What is it’s actual application? To answer the original…

Weight loss for men and women generally correlates with an increase in fertility, but that isn’t a hard rule. Your doctor will probably recommend you lose weight but it isn’t an absolutely guaranteed solution.

What helps me going to restaurants is looking up the menu and logging calories before I go. That way I can really consider if the burger and fries is worth it from afar—without all the smells and pictures tempting me. Consider texting your order to your husband so you don’t have the opportunity to change your mind! Or…

I think it could supply an added layer of motivation on those particularly hard days. People use non food rewards for themselves all the time. I’m getting my hair colored at 15 lbs down. I think it depends how you look at it.

There seems to be a bit of confusion going on. CICO will work. Just because CC doesn’t work because you find it difficult to stick to-as opposed to diets based on eliminating food groups, like keto-doesn’t mean it physically wouldn’t work for you. If you were at a retreat that provided you with non-keto meals that were…

I had a fairly large baby 6 months ago and have loose skin. But it’s gotten much better and in the mornings it’s almost nonexistent. I’m going to wait until I’m done having babies, lose weight, wait a year and if I’m still not happy with the results naturally I’ll seek out surgical intervention. I wouldn’t do so now…

I don’t know if any of this would/could/should be changed as a matter of law but I’d like to see: -insurance companies cover visits with dietitians or even subsidize the cost of or add incentives for participating in validated weight loss programs. I think it would ultimately cost less for them in the long run. -healthier…

This happened to me once with deadlifts. A personal trainer (who also happened to own the gym) taught me how to do them over a period of several weeks. He was very concerned with making sure I had good form before adding any kind of weight. A guy thought he should comment on my form, I think I just sounded confused and…

Hey mama! My little one is almost 6 months old so I’m in a similar position. I’m trying to work on my eating habits, which have been the biggest hindrance to a healthy lifestyle. I try to stay active. Getting a baby carrier helped a lot because it gives me so much freedom. I can hike again! Also I have a jogging stroller…
