I skip breakfast every day. Eating makes me insanely hungry. I’m not usually hungry in the morning. But if I eat, it will make me (again - INSANELY) hungry. When I eat, I just get hungrier and never get full. So I never eat breakfast. It would ruin my day!

In my experience, it is possible to cut calories and not lose weight. Many people will tell you that you are counting them incorrectly. But it is possible that by eating less, your body will burn less. The solution to that is to eat even less unfortunately. I don’t believe that muscle gain is a big factor. It is very…

I studied Mindfulness Based Stress reduction under a teacher through a hospital pain clinic for a year. Then I worked with a researcher at the National Institutes of Health who was studying the effects of meditation on the brain. We worked together for 2 years. Then I began zen buddhist meditation under the guidance of a…

Yesterday I got to move that big block on the scale from 250 down to 200. I came in at 248. So maybe it’s actually working this time. 2 pounds is probably not enough to tell. But it’s also only been less than 2 weeks. In the past, I’d weigh myself every day and write it down and then at the end of a week, add up all the…

I had been using Lifesum. MyFitnessPal gives me 2100 to lose 1 pound. I have a desk job. I had my blood tested two weeks ago and the cortisol levels were low. TSH a little bit high. So they asked me to test again last week and TSH normal and cortisol on the low side of normal. I really do log everything. If anything I am…

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the practical advice. I’m not sure if I’m being clear however. I am 6-3 and 250lbs. Male. 53 years old. At the start of the pandemic (March 2020) I weighed 280. So I started monitoring calories. I ate 2500 per day. I exercised every day. One day I would do 20 minutes of these body weight and…

I appreciate the comments everyone! To answer some of the questions, I’m 6-3 and 250 pounds. Agree that carbs make you hungrier. But all good food for thought here! No pun intended. For those of you dieting, are you hungry? Or Is your diet just eating healthier food that fills you up. If you are hungry, how do you deal…

Thanks. I have been to the doctor and we are running blood tests. At first it appeared that my cortisol was too low and my TSH too high. But subsequent tests put everything in the normal range. My fasting blood sugar is at the very high end of normal. So that might have something to do with it. Insulin resistance and the…

I’m in the same boat bud! Trying to figure how little I actually have to eat to lose weight.
