The key to successful maintenance is keeping yourself accountable. Whether you prefer daily or weekly weigh-ins, keep doing them. It's much easier to nip regain if you're weighing yourself regularly. Out of sight, out of mind as they say. I personally find success with intermittent fasting. If I have a social event coming…

I sometimes have a little unaccounted-for snack before bed. I hate going to bed hungry and sometimes dinner just isn't enough. Usually a couple hard-boiled eggs, a packet of instant oatmeal or a piece of fruit.

I love Yoga with Adriene! I try to do one of her videos every day after work.

Take any food-related documentaries you watch with a grain of salt. Most of them are produced for entertainment, or for shock factor and use cherry-picked, flawed studies and references. You'll find plenty of documentaries that conflict each-other, because they're all trying to promote different ways of eating. "Sugar…

I assume you've done a bit of a 180 on your diet, and your body is adjusting. - Did you eat enough salt? Your body needs sodium. - Did you cut out a lot of carbs/sugar? If you're low enough, you may be experiencing the "keto flu". - Did you increase your water intake a lot? You may have diluted the sodium/electrolyte…

Black bean soup with pepper and onion, and a big bowl of spinach arugula salad with sautéed pear. Yum!

Lady, not dude. :) Any citrus can replace the grapefruit. I personally still don't see the point of following meal plans when you can just eat whatever you want and lose weight, but to each their own!

Thanks all! All the other women in the classes have been so friendly and kind too, that definitely helps! I'm happy to see that a lot of you enjoy group classes too. :)

Examine.com has lots of interesting nutrition and supplement articles if you want to do some more reading.

If you bring one home with you, you could weigh it to see how many grams it is. Then you could match it up with a chain shop entry. Is this one similar? https://krispykreme.com/menu/Doughnuts/cinnamon-sugar http://kkd-nutritional-panels.s3.amazonaws.com/2018CinnamonSugarDoughnutRetailPanel.pdf

I really like Yoga with Adriene. I do one of her videos almost every day. All you need is a yoga mat!

I'm a woman and I have no trouble sticking to an 18:6 schedule. I usually eat between 1pm - 7pm. AKA skipping breakfast. No ill effects.

I assume you've been looking at those restrictive crash diets that recommend you eat grapefruit, cabbage soup, plain toast with 1 egg, etc... Throw all that crap out the window. You can eat literally ANYTHING you want and lose weight. You can eat cake and pies and MacDonalds for every meal and lose weight. It all comes…

I basically drink Mio-sweetened water exclusively. Nothing bad has happened to me yet. :)

But the yolks are the tastiest part... :'( Here's what works for me: - Rarely drinking my calories. On an average day, I only drink water (sweetened with Mio) and tea. Sometimes I'll indulge in a sugary alcoholic beverage but not often. - Weekly meal-preps. Always having a tasty meal in the fridge takes the guesswork out…

Instant Pot, KichenAid, Victorinox knife, Le Creuset dutch oven and Lodge cast iron frying pan!

OMAD (one-meal-a-day) is a viable way of eating. But obviously you need to fit all your calories into one meal - I don't know what your daughter's TDEE is - it could be anywhere from 1800 - 2500 depending on her activity level. So yes, she'll need to consume a lot of calories during that one meal.

Once they're cooked, they're good to go however you want to use them.

Try drinking some broth to get some sodium at least. :) You could try some saltine crackers too, or other bland foods. Feel better soon!

When setting up your MFP activity level, think about an average day for you NOT including intentional strenous exercise. So if you work a desk job with a bit of walking here and there, that's Sedentary. If you're a waitress who works at a busy restaurant, that's probably Lightly Active or Active. Then you'd manually log…

In that case, you can weigh the cooked, drained beef and use this USDA tool to get the calorie count: https://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/beef/show

In those rare cases, I usually just log half.

I was about to post my favourite NY cheesecake recipe of all time, then I noticed the "low-calorie" requirement... oops, haha. When I make cheesecake (and that's not very often), I definitely don't go low-calorie with it. :D

If you want a good MLM laugh... check out this subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/antiMLM/top/?sort=top&t=all As for OP - congrats on beating cancer! Sounds like you've had plenty of good responses so far. There's no need for expensive shakes or organic products - just eat a balanced, varied diet. :)

I hear Happy Scale is a good iOS equivalent.

Sounds like a potassium deficiency. You can buy salt substitutes that are made up of potassium chloride, much cheaper and more potent than the tablets. You can sprinkle the potassium salt on your food or mix it into a drink. Daily recommended intake of potassium is around 1600 - 2000mg. Foods highest in potassium are:…

Hah, yeah. I've overheard some ridiculous diet-talk in my office. I just ignore it. There was one guy who worked here who kept flip-flopping between keto and veganism, changing his story every month. "Carbs are evil, I only eat meat and veggies!" "Meat is evil, I only eat carbs and veggies!"... It was pretty amusing.

Agreed! Frozen fruit is usually much tastier and higher in nutrients than canned.

Check out Skinny Taste for some recipe ideas: https://www.skinnytaste.com/recipes/breakfast-brunch/ Personally, I like: - hard-boiled eggs - instant oatmeal - greek yogurt with berries - quiche

What's your height, weight, age and sex? What's a normal day look like to you? Desk job or on your feet? There are a few potential reasons you could be hungry: - Your calorie deficit is too steep - You're not eating enough satiating foods - Your body is still adjusting to being in a calorie deficit
