What are those two ingredients??????

If you are concerned about the amount of calories you are eating being too low vs the amount MFP tells you the best place to go is to your doctor or a nutritionist that can more appropriately gauge you, your body, and your health history. If you are determined to get more caloric bang for less input in some healthier ways…

Yep and I still find it sad quite often. I loved the experience of a good meal from the taste to the texture to the smell. I wasn't necessarily being overindulgent, but I really enjoyed every part of it and trying new things and learning about new cultures through the food. Then I found out that a lot of those foods were…

It really depends on your body. How does your body respond to foods with those ingredients? If you can eat things with whey or casein and still lose or maintain easily they would be okay, but if cheese and dairy aren't your friends try something veggie based like pea. If carbs aren't your friend pay close attention to that…

I've always been advised by my doctor that tea can be counted as water. Good for you for adding green tea. It has some great health benefits without having to worry about extra calories.

Weighing the raw pre-cooked ingredients and then adding in any extra calories contributed to the cooking of said ingredients will give you the most accurate values.

It's true. People can be very nasty when it comes to certain things and one of the biggies is that particular diet. I don't necessarily like the atmosphere either, but some days I just need to have some camaraderie with others doing the diet thing and pop in and read and occasionally reply. I'm so worried about anyone…

What gets me most in these types of posts is the blanket statement that "all medical professionals" warn against VLCD's. It just isn't true. Doctors base their treatment of that individual patient's own health and medical history. Doctors take into account risk vs benefit and at some point the risk of some VLCD's are less…

I've given up a lot. Sometimes I think I've given up food. I've given up... Soda, both regular and diet. The closest thing I drink to soda now is carbonated water. I had a liter a day diet coke habit and when I was nauseated, which was most of the time, I drank regular coke. Sugar , both artificial and refined. I now opt…

Yes! Gluten intolerance can cause weight gain. The damage done by eating gluten when you are intolerant causes your body to poorly digest the foods you are eating. This means that though you are eating your body isn't getting the nutrients it needs. The body then thinks you are being malnourished and this puts you into…

I did it a few years ago and made it about a week before I became too ill to continue. The salt water flush made me puke, the lemonade concoction often made me puke causing bad burn from the cayenne, the tea gave me terrible cramps and the diarrhea sets your bum on fire. When I started feeling ill it came on with shaking,…

It really depends on the person and their situation. There is a point where the risk vs benefit shifts. For the average person slow weight loss that includes long term lifestyle changes and a new view on health is the ideal. For others who are ill or extremely overweight and it is putting a huge strain on their bodies…

I was pretty sick of it too, but in the last couple years all those doctors stopped when they realized the extent of my endocrine problems. If you are unfortunate to be screwed up enough they do finally stop those speeches. It is tough to lose weight when your hormones are against you. It is very frustrating and difficult.…

Oh my goodness that sounds yummy!
