I don't decrease my calories the day after I exceed my calorie budget because the contrast between overindulging and a deficit makes me feel deprived. I find it easier for my mental health to go back to maintenance. It's not like I go supercrazy when I go over my budget. Last time I went over my calories was on New Year's…

5'9" and 128lbs. I eat 2,000 cals every day on a carnivore diet

I know! The price tag is not ideal... You pay for the convenience, but if you take the dosage that says in the jar, you can drink 1 cup a day for more than a month. I'm too lazy to make my own, lol. Also, I'd need to find a way to store several quarts of it and with the concentrate I just have a jar in my fridge. I want to…

I'm not a fan of snacking because I do intermittent fasting, but if you are more of a grazer and feel like eating this way will help you comply with your plan, I'd do it but still try to stick to an eating window, 8 hours tops.

@melmerritt33 Don't obsess with being 100% strict carnivore ;) Like Violet_Flux says, most people are not 100%, just-meat-and-water carnivore. It's an spectrum. You have to find where in the spectrum you feel more comfortable. I even eat some cacao paste or homemade chocolate from time to time, I drink tea and black coffee…

Boiled egg loaf. I crack 6 eggs into a greased loaf pan, break the yolks a little bit without actually beating the eggs and bake at 325ºF for 25 minutes. The yolk floats to the top and creates a yellow layer. The end result is no-peel boiled egg with a bit of yolk in every single bite :)

I stick to one cup per day in the morning/afternoon. I can't it drink in the evening or I'll find it hard to fall sleep at night, as in I'll be tired and my eyelids will feel heavy but I won't fall asleep, which is the worst kind of insomnia ever. Seltzermint555, have you tried rinsing with saltwater right after drinking…

I guess it depends on your approach. For me it's macros since I follow a LCHF diet and with this diet it's all about the effect of macros on your hormones, especially on insulin which is the hormone that stores fat in the body. Carbs affect insulin the most and fat affects insulin the least. That being said, if you eat an…

I encourage you to read the book The Diabetes Code by Dr Jason Fung and watch his videos on YouTube. He is a nephrologist who uses fasting and the ketogenic diet to treat type II diabetes with a lot of success

That's AMAZING, Candy! 😄 Woot woot! 💃 Keto makes miracles. I went keto a couple of years ago for sugar & carb addiction and binge eating disorder. I don't crave those anymore. I went carnivore though because I still overate nuts and dairy, and honestly veggies were doing nothing for me but bloat me. I like Rheddmobile's…

Eggs Fish (salmon, sardines) Black coffee Green tea

I do both. Keto is great but you can overeat on it. I actually gained weight on keto because I ate a lot of nuts & dairy. Now I do zero carb and I eat some raw cheese (mainly parmigiano reggiano) but I'm super careful when I eat it because I had some infamous parmigiano reggiano binges in the past. I have 2 rules: I always…

I have to, or else I would never eat! :D I do zero carb and I'm never physically hungry but that doesn't mean I don't have an appetite ;) I love food and look forward to my meals very much

I used to be sooooo guilty of this! I tasted everything I could while meal prepping. I stopped doing it because I realized that if I put it together it was a lot of food

Is your goal getting compliments or getting healthy? Forget the compliments. Enjoy your health! I actually hate it when people comment on my appearance, no matter if it's to tell me that I look slimmer. It feels like and intrusion and I'd rather be left alone. I'm very self-conscious and I don't like being the center of…

- Gym (strength training + yoga) - Grocery shopping - Meal prepping - Food logging ;) - Picking up parcels - Laundry - YouTube: dressmaking tutorials (1st sewing machine), vloggers, Dr Berg, etc - Reading - Origami - Weekly oil hair mask (castor, argan & almond oil) - Concert (Ara Malikian)

Under 20

Edit because I misread the topic of the thread, lol

Meditation, yoga, swimming (I'm terrible but I love the feeling of being in the water), weight-lifting, getting my beauty sleep, crocheting, knitting, mandala painting

I do zero carb and I literally have no cravings. When I was keto I binged on nuts and dairy pretty often. I could eat so many Macadamia nuts, brie or camembert cheese and Greek yogurt! I quit nuts and all dairy except for raw cheese. I mainly eat authentic parmigiano-reggiano which I still find addictive but I eat it with…

Anxious

That's right, MPF doesn't do it for you, but my advice is don't overly stress about tracking them. Just eat keto-friendly foods and you're good - animal protein and veggies that grow above the ground, some nuts & dairy if they don't hinder your progress (they're problematic for some people). If you eat like that, it's VERY…

The Elder wand, obvs

Way to go! I'm coming back to MFP after a loooooong withdrawal period. This is my first time in the forums. My problem with MPF is that I can get too obsessive with the tracking to the point of needing to quit it for my own mental health. I'm back again but I have to tread carefully

As someone who just had a pound of frozen broccoli florets for dinner, go frozen! It's as good as or even better than fresh, since freezing it helps preserve all the nutrients

So many great suggestions already. Can't think of anything else to add. My snack game is pretty bad because I've been doing intermittent fasting for a few years now, so I usually eat once or twice a day. I don't get hungry between meals (or ever) since I'm on the keto diet

1. I live in Spain 2. I have severe social anxiety 3. I go to the movies every single Wednesday 4. I also fast every Wednesday 5. I live by myself (no pets but I'd love to)

Sorry to break the mojo - Is there a thread like this but with measurements or dress sizes instead of weight? The number on the scale is kind of triggering for me and I prefer to go by how my clothes fit

I used to be very into origami. One year I folded this sick origami jack-o'-lantern: I even took one to my office but my boring coworkers were too plain to appreciate my lantern in all its awesome glory. I don't remember if it's hiding in an office closet or if I took it home with me. If I find it in the office I'll take…

$10 a month? $10 A MONTH? 😯 Just to track your calories and a bit else? Seems a bit steep to me
