Yes, I'm the same way, which is why I only eat two meals a day. You might want to look into Intermittent Fasting. You gotta do what works for you.

Yep. Happened to me too. Biotin supplements help

All the time!

lol meal timing is irrelevant

cut up a huge plate of veggies and pair with your dip of choice and munch away! I like eating while I study too, and that's what I do

100?

usually 2 big meals and a few snacks over a 6 to 8 hour period.

Peanut butter, greek yogurt, milk, cottage-cheese, avocados, cheese

I do best with 16/8

If you're having this much trouble with it right off the bat, do you really see yourself being able to maintain this diet in the long run? And if you can't, what's the point of doing it now? Why suffer unnecessarily? If low carb isn't something you enjoy and are able to adhere to, there's no need to do it. Eat some carbs.

There's nothing unhealthy about pizza in moderation. Fat isn't evil. It is a necessary macronutrient. Man, you people are dumb.

I was fitting into US 14s around 215-220.

Honestly, if I was still obese and came across this post I think it would make me hate myself and want to die. It would make me cry, want to give up and eat myself into a coma instead of even TRYING to work on getting healthy. Your tone is incredibly hateful and disrespectful. You are not helping anyone by posting this…

My hair thinned out a LOT when I lost weight, and it's still pretty thin. I lost 60 pounds over a year or so, so I didn't lose super fast or anything, and I definitely got enough protein and fat. And I probably averaged 2000 calories. Sometimes just being in an extended calorie deficit will cause you to lose hair even if…

Why not just eat normal food?

You're on to something there. My theory is that not only the idea of breakfast, but the whole concept of "eat every three hours to rev your metabolism" . . . just snacking in general, is something the food industry created to sell their snacks. Think about it. If eating every couple of hours is good for you, those 100…

Yep, I have successfully lost a lot of weight and maintained pretty well without ever eating breakfast. In fact when I do eat too early, I am ravenous throughout the day and tend to overeat because of it. IF has been great for me. I'm really sick of people saying breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Meal timing…

you left out the most important piece of info - what is your calorie intake and what is your TDEE? Are you estimating or measuring and weighing?

tofu peanut butter nuts string cheese whatever fruits you like whatever vegetables you like I don't really eat them very often but maybe protein or granola bars, since you're on the go a lot?

The Trader Joe's crumpets are AMAZING. I toast them and eat them with peanut butter and jam :)

You're not losing weight because you're not in a caloric deficit. Not because you don't eat breakfast. I eat my first meal at around 2 pm every day and I've lost plenty of weight by making sure I stay in a good calorie range. Are you measuring and weighing everything, or just estimating? That can cause an inaccurate…

False.

Meal timing doesn't matter. Do what works and is sustainable for you. I am not a breakfast person at all - I feel nauseous if I force myself to eat something as soon as I wake up. So I do IF. I wake up around 10 and eat my first meal around 2 or 3. It's worked very well for me.

anyone else can add me if they want, too :)

HELL YES your profile pic is a Dalek, of course I'll add you :)

I'd say eat more. I have never plateaued when on plan, and I've always stayed between 1500-2200 calories (depending on exercise and hunger) throughout my loss. I lose 1.5 pounds a week on average without really trying too hard (I do work out a lot though).

Cinnabon. Waaay too disgustingly sweet

Start with a weight that is challenging but not impossible. You should be able to do at least 8 repetitions with it keeping good form. I started out with ten pound dumbbells.

Why are you only using one pound weights???
