  • No that means you eat that 1,620 calories every day. Deficit means less than you would need to maintain your weight. So if you were to maintain your weight you would eat about 2,120 calories. In order to lose weight you should eat 1,620. And with exercise you can eat even more. I would highly suggest reading through these…
  • Thanks saving for later!
  • Saving this for recipe for Christmas Eve. Thanks!
  • Definitely change. It can otherwise lead to bacterial infections and the like.
  • Everyone will give you different answers. I do only if I'm hungry. But then again I only burn less than 200 per workout (according to MFP). I know a lot of people say they eat back around 80% of the calories burned to account for any inaccuracies on MFP's part. But if you are burning a LOT of calories, like 500, then you…
  • It's not going to negatively affect weight loss, it will help you if anything to maintain muscle. MFP's value for protein is really low so you should be going over.
  • Well 52 is low so it's definitely ok to go over but 6x seems a bit much (although I'd love to hear reasons as to why because I don't really know). As for excess fat, anything in excess turns to body fat if its over your calorie limits. What are you eating that you're getting so much protein?
  • I eat clean (most of the time). It can be really difficult, especially when I'm at school. I stock up on a lot of frozen veggies as well as some raw ones that I can throw in baggies for snacks. I also keep fruits in my purse and pack a healthy sandwich (whole wheat bread, turkey, lettuce, and one other veggie). For dinner,…
  • Personally, I think this article is bull. Although I'm a psychology major so I'm quite versed on how faulty and uncontrolled these "studies" are. Plus, one of the points of low-carb diets is that they kill carb cravings, which won't happen if you're eating them most of the time. But if you want to I say go for it and let…
  • Exactly. I'm a big fan of drinking, but it will cause problems if you do it all the time. Especially since it slows metabolism.
  • Probably not in your case. I looked at your profile and you've lost 6lbs. That's a lot for one month! I think your expectations were simply too high. Weight loss takes time, but it will be worth it if you stick with it :)
  • Fruits and veggies are carbs! I'm loading up on them as this is my finals week too and eating them keeps me focused. I also love to start my day off with a big bowl of oatmeal (without added flavorings).
  • Wow. You sound a lot like me! I'm 22, 5'3 and recently down to 118. But I can't seem to get rid of those love handles either! I also have a problem with will-power, and I'm getting better with that in terms of my diet, but whenever there's a special occasion or I get upset about something I binge like crazy. I'm working on…
  • I know when I'm up and about for longer periods, especially if I wake up early, I'm hungrier. And if you're hungry just eat, you'll need the energy. On days like that you need to focus more on sustaining yourself than losing weight.
  • I would say no and I think that's the general consensus I've seen in other posts on this topic. Others may disagree but you really need to have a decent amount of water in its purest form to keep hydrated and to cleanse your system.
  • Hmm I also wonder if the green tea is part of the problem. It is considered to be an appetite suppressant, and I know it is for me.
  • Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone!
  • I looked at your diary and I don't think you have anything to worry about! Your sugars are probably mostly coming from fruits and veggies and those are good sugars. Only worry about processed sugars, which you probably don't have very much of.
  • Your diary isn't public so I can't tell you too much. But one thing that jumped out at me was you said water is hard on your stomach. I would DEFINITELY see a doctor about that one. It sounds like there might be something going on there.
  • I eat about half of these things on a regular basis, but I'm trying to add in quinoa and green tea. 1. Whole Eggs - Hate the taste (and smell) of eggs 2. Fish Oil- once or twice a week 3. Wild Salmon- about once a week 4. Berries- Only blueberries and in the summer. I'm allergic to most others. 5. Yogurt. - Yes but I'm…
  • A lot of people mentioned baby wipes, deodorants, and body wash. You should NEVER use these things down there especially if you are prone to infections! The only thing your vagina should be cleaned with is water. If you can't shower right away, pat dry with a towel and change your undies.
  • You don't have to deprive yourself to be under 200! I have a turkey sandwich every day for less than that: 2 slices of Arnold's round bread (100 cals) Low Fat Mayo (15 cals) Lettuce (less than 10 cals) 6 Slices of thin turkey (50 cals) I also like celery/carrots/bell peppers and 100 calorie packs of guacamole
  • Thanks for the responses! Are there types of interval training that are low impact?
  • Unfortunately, my cup size went down to lower than it was before I gained weight in the first place. I was never an A before! :( But I definitely think it varies with the individual.
  • As a 22 year old who has been there and done that...a few pieces of advice. When looking for cocktail dresses I would not go with the ones you picked because unless your stomach and sides are completely flat, they will do you no justice. Instead, I would suggest dresses with rouching, like this one…
  • Hi there. It's not really a program it's just a work-out so there's not a set time limit (it's not a 30-day shred type thing). You just do it whenever you want for as long as you want. I've lost around 5 pounds doing the workouts (which is a lot for me.) I think it's definitely worth trying because it's the only workout…
  • Best website name ever!
  • At a bar, I would say vodka is the lowest. If you're going to the liquor store you could probably find specialty low-calorie brands of most spirits though.
  • I'm more of an oatmeal person, but I do like Rice Chex, which are very low in sugar and still taste really good.
  • I just shop for myself and I rarely go over $50 a week so that should be fine for two people. My staples are: Perdue chicken Yogurt Frozen Spinach (like $2 a bag for Shop Rite brand and there's a lot of servings in there) Lettuce Celery Carrots Hummus Oatmeal Fruits Granola bars Bread Turkey And whatever else I feel like…
