You will have so much more energy if you eat a colourful diet based on healthy carbs, moderate fat and plenty of plants together with lean protein

I decided to check the diary and yes, there is a heap of added sugar on most days - I tend to stick to 50gm sugar from ALL sources but that is my choice. OP seems to be favouring carbohydrates and sugar over protein - they generally do not go over 40gm (some days as low as 29gm)of protein per day but carbs are up around…

I can synpathise but it is a great NSV story - the other day at work I was standing on the bottoms of my trousers and had to pinch a safety pin from the first aid kit to hold them up ....

This whole conversation is why I don't take on what people talk about in the forums - so much ignorance and misinformation - and I don't just mean the 'ketones as fuel' camp. Just about every 'explanation' or 'scientific backing' is flawed .....

For those people who wonder about 'you will weigh xx in 5 weeks' - I have been on MFP for over years and I regularly go back and check the ' you will weigh in 5 weeks' that I copy into my food notes every day, and if I have been eating properly to plan and losing weight, I find it is within a pound either way!. Note though…

I also weigh every day but I love a website I have found which picks up my weighings that I log at www.fitbit.com. It's called Trendweight www.trendweight.com and it does something in the background and shows your weight trend as well as your daily logs. I would say that if you have gains, trendweight would help you…

tennisdude200 - Ketones are actually NOT fuel - they are toxic byproducts :frown: of the body consuming itself (not necessarily bodyfat, just as likely if not more so that it is consuming lean body mass = muscle) and it, ketosis, is actually a precursor to real starvation. The presence of ketones also indicates that the…

To hazelclark, I have seen and read articles that suggest our predeliction for sugar, simple carbs and fat is because we are hungry for protein which, apart from protein-rich animal products is often found in conjunction with carbs (e.g. grain products and carbs) and/or sugar and fat (vegies, fruit and nuts) in smaller…

Yes! If I buy a packet of cookies I eat them all - so I only buy the twinpacks or little packs with 5 in them. That's a HUGE binge - 5 cookies - NOT! A little bit of what you fancy goes a long way I have one large latte made at home in the mornings with raw sugar and a cup of tea in the afternoon with 1 white sugar , the…

Hi Have 'dancing time' to the radio/tv everyday with your kids, they will love it - shake that booty! Also if you are like me and weigh every day (I always seem to go offtrack if I don't weigh daily) then www.trendweight.com is great for being able to see whether your weight trend is up or down. You will need a free Fitbit…

I still have a lot of weight to lose but have found a great tool that takes care of evening out my weight fluctuations so I can see whether the trend is still a loss. My understanding is that it was designed for people on maintenance. It shows a line graph plus a projected loss/maintain/gain and underneath shows how many…

Another factor may be that bodyweight/ strengthtraining exercise may have a tendency to create an 'afterburn' of calories for some time after the activity so you may be experiencing this. Try eating a small snack that includes protein/ complex carbs if you feel hungry after bodyweight exercises - I steer clear of fat and…

Before the weekend I had taken ibuprofen for a sore back on about Wednesday then at weekend got my head whacked by partner shutting lid of trunk (boot) of car on my head plus when I finished on Sunday got a bit of a twinge in my…

I have only just started to run a couple of weekends ago, previous to this it was all walking. I have worn our 3 pairs of good running shows in that time (Asics) and today have bought a pair of Salomon trail running shoes as my latest Asics are mostly white. Not sure how far I have been with my shoes in the past but they…

If you have lost weight via cutting calories drastically (i.e. when you were anorexic) then you will probably have lost a great deal of muscle and retained the subcutaneous fat which you now see as 'muffin' and 'pouch'. To look better, don't try and lose more the same way as you will again target your muscles (not fat). As…

Hi I saw the words 'Trend' and 'Weight' and thought here's another person using Trendweight ,www.trendweight.com. Welcome to the MFP community - I have been here since early 2011 and have lost a total of 20kg (about 50lbs) - not a lot but I am trying to keep to a sustainable nutritional lifestyle with lots of exercise etc.…

Hi I am from New Zealand and weight 109kg and am 60 years old, female. I have lost 17kg and my goal is to live a healthier life with lots of regular exercise and a reasonably clean diet. My emphasis is not on the weightloss but being a healthier me as I get older rather than less healthy. I have just had the result of…

This sounds like an amphatamine (addictive - also known as speed) that I was prescribed for weightloss in the early 70s - they were all the rage then and thought to be harnless. I was like the Energizer Bunny - couldn't stop, couldn't sleep, then couldn't work as I was so tired - a horrible experience and now I am 250 lbs…

Bump for later - great explanations! I have always set my own calorie goal (customize) but eat back half my exercise caloires - activity level set at sedentary as I am lucky to move much at work. I fitness walk and strengthtrain as regularly as I can but find my biggest aid to 'scale loss' is to tweak my protein level to…
