Not my statement, I'm not an expert. It's coming from a seminar of GI doctors. Go tell them they don't know what they are talking about. I couldn't find that video, but this doctor tells about it. You can skip to minute 20 https://youtu.be/3hapAjMWmhw

Refined sugar has no fibers, it goes straight to the bloodstream, like alcohol. Fruit has fibers in it which slows down a lot the entrance in the bloodstream. You get different effect in the body. Your brain will demand the quick rush. The barrier that people place in food addiction is because you really don't have the…

Exercise is excellent for health and it helps to lose weight. You burn some extra energy and increase metabolism speed, which will continue for some time after you finish work out. But the main thing is what you put in your mouth. Weight control-wise, and healthwise.

Law and order coming from the other room... While I'm in bed trying to sleeeeeeeep

I'm addicted to chocolate... That is so mean 😭😭😭😭 (I'll go grab a couple of chocolate chips, now I bet you're happy 😂😂😂😂)

@AnnPT77 very good points there

I see a lot of binge there. Please make sure that is really hunger. I don't want to sound rude, but it can be an eating disorder. I can relate to that. I binge and it is not really hunger... At times boredom, at times I'm greedy for food. There is too much calories difference when you binge.

I guess we are different. When I used to count calories I would weigh food to have the exact calories before cooking. I would do that every meal. My dietician gave me the quantities and I would cook them.

I answered that question already. Just go and read the comments... I'm tired of this crap sorry. You people give your advice I give mine. OP will decide.

I have never said to eat 100g of nuts. I said I stopped buying them because I used to eat half a jar. You get the benefits also from 3 or 4 nuts. You are free to use all the oil you want. As long as you are losing weight, you are fine. The OP was having problem with hunger and I gave her a tip on how to eat more food. I…

I know it works, it's a great way to eat actually. If you are counting calories it makes no sense, because you prepare your whole meal at those preset calories. But if you are not counting calories, that is a great way to eat. I don't count calories, and that is how I eat everyday.

Muscles weigh more than fat. That is why it's a good idea to pair up scale and measuring of chest/belly/hip circumference.

I run at least 3 miles everyday. I work overnight so on my Monday I go to work without sleeping for almost 24 hours. If that day after work I'm tired I take it as my resting day. Twice a week I have a 2 hour long martial art class. When weather gets warmer I abandon my car and use only my bicycle (for work, gym and…

It is tough to answer. I am in somewhat the same situation... On your husband side. My whole household was plant based for over 10 years. My wife and daughter a few months ago went back and eat meat, eggs, cheese. In my eyes they are eating unhealthy and I'm sure in their eyes I need to eat like them as well. I used to be…

Yes yes, I was not talking about supplements. I meant food containing vitamin c. Just a simple idea might be an orange diced up in your salad. Or if you like guava they are even lower calories and offer more vitamin c.

That is actually no scientific value. It's a dieting trick that came out a long time ago. The idea is that by filling up with fibers and water, you will reduce the hunger and thus eat less high caloric foods from other dishes. That depends on the salad though. If your salad is bathing in dressing you are much better eating…

There are different types. My favorite is with green olives. There are also different type of dough. In Milan is higher with lots of oil (that makes them so soft) and some salt. If you go to the deep South of Italy they are called schiacciata (translated as pressed). They are lower, with less oil, harder but with more…

Yes we all need fat, but identify one food with one macro is wrong. You find all three macros in every vegetable (just with different ratio). Actually let me correct myself, every food has all three macros as I discovered recently that also meat has a form of carb inside. I haven't had any added fat or meat for 12 years.…

I apologise. I have had this discussion with ketogenic people many times before, that it got old. Everything has a level of satiation. The stomach is a stretchy bag with nerves that work as sensors. These sensor are supposed to tell your brain when to stop asking for food. They measure the stretching, but there are also…

Whatever lol it's ok. I'm not playing this game, and if you really do not know what the difference is I'm sorry if I sound harsh. I gave my advice you gave yours. OP will do whatever he/she prefers.

Same thing. We in the north of Italy call it focaccia, in Rome they call it pizza bianca.

Is that focaccia?

Added fat takes up calories and offers 0 satiation. You can use those calories to swap them with food which give station.

Insulins resistance is not caused by carbs, but by fat... Unless you have other underline health issues that might cause it. If you are interested in details go and look on YouTube videos from "mastering diabetes". He's a doctor (for sure nutritionist, but I think he's a doctor as well) with diabetes type 1 who's lived as…

I don't know. If you don't like me I for sure don't come and annoy you just to know why. My life won't change of someone didn't like me.

I'll give you a couple of tips a dietician gave me many years ago which worked for me. 1- our body is built on burning carbs. So if in a meal you eat carbs and fat, you'll burn carbs and store fat. Try to devide the 2 macros in 2 meals (separated by 3 or 4 hours, time to burn what you ate in the first meal). 2- if you can,…

Pandemic screwed my family up. My wife developed type 2 diabetes. My daughter put on lots of weight. I went from 160lbs to 230lbs and put on statin (heart medication). We were all healthy eaters and jumped the bridge to meet processed food, frozen meals and chip+dip. Last October we sat down and discussed how crappy we…

Me too. It was about 7-8 years ago. Back then it was all ketogenic people so I left the forum because I couldn't find anything useful to me.

I agree. Sometimes we focus so much in numbers that we lose sight of the bigger picture.

Remember calcium value is also influence by absorption. Eat it with some vitamin c food to increase absorption.
