Careful what you read on MFP as you can get many idiots. Low carb and high fat has a potential to make your condition worse. If you really want to figure out if a high fat diet works for your medical condition, go to the doctor and get your enzyme level tested again after changing to a high fat diet and include a lipid…

Yes, you are obese and no you are not big boned. You are in denial and the reason studies show that larger people live longer is due to modern day medication, not because they are in any way, shape, or form healthy. It's only a matter of time before you have a some combination of diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood…

I see lots of bad advice in this thread that can be harmful and damage your body even more. If there is anything you need to take away from this thread it's what I'm about to say. Listen to our doctor, not what anyone here has to say. I'm assuming your doctor told you to do a low fat diet? Is that right? I see a suggestion…

I have the brand One A Day Men's Multivitimin and i does not contain any iron. Your symptoms coincide very well with Anemia caused by diet. Tell your doctor your diet and symptoms(dizziness during workouts and feeling cold) and he'll tell you take Iron supplements also. I'm 99.999% sure that he'll say that. Being cold all…

You don't have to eat exercise calories back. Not eating them back will make you lose weight faster. Eating them back will make you lose weight slower. If you want to eat them back because it keeps from binging, then do it but that's the only real reason you'd need to do so. Proof below of someone who did not eat them back…

Eating 1100 calories every other day is fine, even two days in a row but when you get past that third day it can cause some side effects. Have you also been extra cold lately? If so, you are probably Anemic which basically means you're low on blood cells because you're not getting enough iron. Take an iron supplement and…

No, she never called. It's over. She hates me. I had a horrible day. Just horrible. I'm going to eat a bucket of ice cream to make myself feel better.

You don't have to eat your exercise calories back. If it keeps you from binging, do it but you don't have too. You'll also lose slower when eating those calories back. Link below to someone who ate 1200 calories and did not eat exercise calories back.…

Sunday is almost over and she didn't text me. It's over. I'm going to cry myself to sleep.

I honestly don't feel like she's going to say anything about the lunch date. It was just a crush. Just a crush.

We're suppose to go have lunch together on Monday, this was planned after she cancelled on me the second time which was Thursday night but I already deleted her phone number. So I guess if she really still wants to grab lunch, she'll let me know.

Playing the hard to get game. I hate that. What's wrong with being straight forward? I don't get it. I am reminded that I was in love one time before and I was a jerk, so she's gone now. I don't think i'll ever get that feeling again. I can only hope but most likely i'll have to settle.

So true. I've used them before. Any other guy here want to admit to that besides me?

Well, I'm not sure what you're expecting to hear from a guy who just got rejected. Joy? Should I be happy? lol. Escorts are a sure thing, doesn't require maintenance, and are a sure thing.

I knew deep down that it wasn't going to work out anyway. All i'll ever have is fake love from escorts. :(

You guys are right. It just sucks because I thought she liked me when she asked for my phone number and started texting me first. I'm all bummed out now. Horrible night tonight. Just horrible.

I like the club idea.

If you're going to increase your fats, especially if you get it from red meat and whole eggs, you need to get a lipid panel test. I was on LCHF and it raised my total cholesterol above 300 which is considered ridiculously high, and my ratios were not good either.

Are you asking me? My doctor told me to do a low fat diet but i went ahead and did the ATKINS diet anyway. I was eating 15 whole eggs every other week and and 1 pound of steak every week. On top of that I'd also eat bacon. I had good sources of fat every day that included salmon, chicken, and olive oil. That was daily on…

You need to get a lipid panel test when doing this diet to make sure it's okay for you. My cholesterol went above 300 on the ATKINS diet even though I was losing weight. I was down 20 pounds and it was above 300, very shocking. It's fine for most people but there is a small group of people who's cholesterol will continue…

I've had the same thing happen to me when i tried to reintroduce crabs back into my diet after going Zero carbs for 3 months. My bloating occurred near the upper portion of my abdomen, around the spot of the pancreas. If that's the same spot you're experience bloating, than I'm going to assume you are experiencing some…

Anytime you experience pain, you need to see a doctor as it can be a sign of something serious and it sounds serious to me. A normal checkup procedure that doctors do is pressing on your internal organs. Ask someone or you can do it yourself and press deep at different spots on your body with your hands to see if you can…

Saying that Type 2 Diabetes is "genetic" is a cop out for people who do not understand how Type 2 diabetes works. It's very similar to saying, "That person has AIDS because he has genes that allows him to get the AIDS virus". Skinny people can become Type 2 diabetic but saying that it's genetic is a cop out. You can read…

Just go to a family clinic. I do it all the time without insurance. It's about 150 $ to see the doctor and 30 $ for any test they can run in house. However, you're most likely a normal healthy individual. If your body was wasting, you'd know it. Constant peeing or diahrea are key indicators of wasting.

I haven't posted on here for a while and try to stay away because you will receive a lot of bad and harmful advice, especially from the people who constantly promote eating more and eating lots of "dietary" cholesterol. You are with out a doubt receiving a lot of bad advice on this so hopefully I can help clear things up.…

Being young, your skin should adhere back with no problem. I'm guessing the time frame to be a little over a year. However, there is something you can try that I know work for someone else. Just anecdotal evidence but, increase your fat ratio to 30% of your daily calories. Try and stick to good fats like olive oil.

I find this thread interesting because people are so critical of others who only eat 1200 calories and the feared mythical creature, starvation mode, but they are accepting of a very low calorie diet program like Medifast. They are even so critical to demonize one's doctor when said doctor suggests very low calories.…

I would be interested in the links to this research. Reason being, there is a lot of evidence that says fasting has been shown to reverse type 2 diabetes

You sound like you're taking it personal. I'm only trying to have a civil conversation and posting informative links for people who want to learn more about their condition. Following your doctor is a great idea. Never said anything was wrong with that. I'm curious though, how many calories did they start you off eating at?
