Why would you not get results "starving yourself". If you have 150 (or so) grams of protein and adequate calcium, vitamins etc in the 1200 calories, which is possible, why would your body go for muscle as a source of energy when there is a lot more efficient source of energy in fat plus your muscles have got the protein…

I don't know it and I don't care about it at the moment. I eat enough to give me the energy to do the work outs I do and the nutrition my body needs. I am losing weight without caring about it so I don't see why I should care about it until I get close to maintenance.

Catch some fish and cook it on the camp fire, lovely

sounds like a sauna treatment required. play about with water weight is about the only way to do something so quickly

ask your trainer what you are using to do the gym session if your body is holding onto the calories that you are eating.

My abs are awesome, and my hair is almost too wavy and blond. People can take offense far too easily. Are you sure that a public forum that allows people to express their opinions in the way MFP does is the right place for you if someone saying that they prefer a different body type to yours upsets you so much. There is a…

I did not see any point in your post that said people put down others who do not fit into their preferred body shape, only they champion that shape. From what you have posted it seems like you are reading beyond what is written and extrapolating that into a personal put down.

That sounds like cheesecake surprise. I do like how this rant post has changed into a cheesecake thread

It is only how people use words. It is blatantly obvious that other people outside the group of people they are talking about are actually real. There are men who like curvy woman and think that the way a woman looks is high on the list of requirements when choosing a partner, so for those men if a woman is not curvy they…

If vibrating things helped you tone up there would be quite a few females who have a certain part of their body cast iron solid.

I am too lazy to look for anything better

Weight lifting does not burn that many calories directly, but a greater % muscle will mean that you will burn more calories doing activities (or so I have been told)

white fish is really great, I say white as its a lot lower calorie. You can also make a significant difference by eating higher protein veg have a look here http://www.3fatchicks.com/top-8-vegetables-high-in-protein/ skimmed milk is a great post work out drink both for protein and calcium.

you could be nice and start leaving loads of clothes catalogs lying about. Let him go retro first before he discovers the internet. 12 is about normal goes along with puberty.

500g Cottage cheese and 2 beaten eggs = about 475 calories so half = 240ish calories. Had a look at your diary, is it 500g or 300g of cottage cheese?

Took me 3 weeks to lose 30lb, and the best part of another 100 have followed it so I doubt they will come back.

exactly 72g per day is great it's so Germanic.

I am fairly certain the answer is no, everybody is not adding them, some are some are not.

Some of my carbs are low and some are high. The potatoes are stored in a cupboard beneath the work top and the baked beans are stored in the wall cupboards.

21 is just a number as a guide everyone is different

For an obese person who will have to be losing weight for a considerable length of time there is very little if any link between eating habits at the start or middle of the weight loss and eating habits whilst on maintenance. I am using an obese person in their weight loss to make the point clearer. The difference in BMR…

I have been drinking 2-6 cups of black coffee almost every day this year (since I started my weight loss). Not an in depth study but I would say it does not hinder weight loss.

I am glad you made the bed before taking the photo.

Are the guys being picked in the 14% ish BF range as per the BF$ thread or has the mood of the MFP nation swung to lower BF?

I think you may go over your calories today

I nominate Bob in his bacon bikini, I mean her bacon bikini

I just had a nice high protein lunch. White crab meat with low fat cottage cheese, ginger, soy sauce and horseradish (had no wasabi)

Make sure you are tracking your exercise and calories as accurately as possible. You are on a low calorie diet being on 1200 calories per day. Although this can be healthy whilst overweight, you have to be very careful with what you eat to make sure you get the nutrition required. There is more to body weight than just fat…

I used frozen jelly, but it is a great stress relief breaking it up. You might wake up the kids doing it.

It really annoys me when he does not finish his plate in man v food
