Differences in BMRs are associated with changes in energy balance. Energy balance reflects the difference between the amount of calories one eats and the amount of calories the body uses. If a high BMR is induced by the administration of drugs, such as amphetamines, animals often have a negative energy balance which leads…

It all comes down to hormones and the endocrine system. When bodies don't metabolize correctly, as well as when other chemicals are present, it changes the body's chemistry. Honestly, there is way too much to get into and I am at work... quite irritated with your posts. Do some research and you will find what I am talking…

I was at a caloric deficit, with an intake of 1200-1400 kcals per day. Everything was logged. Exercise was daily. Again, you are talking to someone who was in the competitive weight lifting field and who majored in kinesiology. This was a whole new world for me, as it has been for other people. When you are not medicated,…

Not necessarily true. Take for instance Hypothyroidism (extreme cases). I was working out and eating at a defecit and gained over 100lbs in 4.5 months. It wasn't until I was finally diagnosed and after years of getting my levels right that I was able to start losing weight again. And even with that being said, there are…

Might be depleted electrolytes. Add some salt to your diet.

Have you been measuring yourself? You may be losing fat and inches still but the weight stays the same due to building muscle. I don't know your fitness routine, but this happens a lot. Also, not all calories are created equal. Dive back into your food journal and evaluate what you are eating. Can you change up your…

I too am a carb lover - and this is my week 1 on Keto. Honestly, I haven't really craved sweets or carbohydrates at all and I am almost 1 week in (started on 1/1/18). It sounds like with your health issues, Keto would be an AMAZING option for you. If you put your mind to it, and get through the first week or two, you will…

Yes, honey is a BIG NO-GO when it comes to Keto.

Woohoo! Over half way through my day 1 and yes, I have a headache... dang keto flu... but am going to up my sodium intake by drinking some broth... seems to be a trick to get through and amp up those electrolytes :) Today is day 1 of 365 days of keto for me. I have done lots of research over the past year and finally…

Good Morning & Happy New Year!! Checking in for day 1! HW:318 / CW: 314.2 / GW: 155 01/01: 314.2 01/07: 01/14: 01/21: 01/28:

Make sure you are counting NET Carbs - not just regular carbs (net carbs are carbohydrates minus fiber). MFP doesn't let us use Net Carbs on our tracking so you have to do it yourself. I just keep a running toll . Also - it's ok if you are a little over or a little under on your macros. I would just try to keep the net…

Hi all! My name is Heather. After gaining almost 150lbs over the past 4 years due to thyroid disease, I am starting Keto as well as a regular fitness routine to try and bring back the "me" that is still inside of here! January 1 is my start date, and I will be going the full year - no cheats, just going full throttle into…

This is very true, but it is very dangerous outside of a designed program unless you know exactly what you are doing to make sure you are getting the appropriate vitamins and nutrients on said "diet" with the calorie deficit. Medifast is VERY low calorie, at only 800-1000 calories a day. That being said, if you don't know…

Haha, I can't answer that one unfortunately. It isn't anything the program preaches- it only explains that you need healthy fats in your diet... anything further is either something she learned in error through an un-educated "coach", or is making an assumption. The person obviously has no idea what they're talking about.…

The program is not just about eating pre-packaged food. It encompasses skills for healthy eating which are learned through the program including portion control, healthy proteins, whole grans / complex carbs, and the importance of vegetables as well as maintaining an active lifestyle. These are learned through the program…

I am on it currently and love it. Everyone who I know who has been on the program has had a GREAT SUCCESS with losing weight, and keeping it off. The comments about not exercising are invalid.... and whoever those "coaches" are need to be re-trained. Exercising needs to start after about 3 weeks on the program, but due to…

My coach is also fantastic!!! Her name is Suzi :) http://followme.tsfl.com I believe you can contact her through there :)

Join me and do Medifast! It can help too! You may be able to lose all you need to while eating healthy :)

Hi! I just started the Medifast program yesterday (11/9) and would love to keep in touch to support one another!

I just started out today, waiting for my food to get here. A girlfriend of mine started a little less than 3 weeks ago and has already lost about 20 lbs on it. She LOVES it. And I am hoping I can lose the 70-80 I need to lose with this program, too!!! :)

Placerville... outskirts of Sacramento! Always in Folsom/Sac though. :) HI!

I weight train every other day (technically 3-4X per week, pending on the day). I do a full body routine those days, and it lasts me anywhere from an hour to 75 minutes to complete. Step Up (15 ea. side) / Squat (25) Superset - 4 sets Straight Bar Curl - 15lb - 4 sets of 15 reps Cable Squat with Row - 25lb - 4 sets of 15…

I work graveyards right now from 10pm-6am. I have accustomed myself to this, though. I also have to add that I go to school full time, and work out 6 days a week. I also volunteer for a number of non-profit organizations on my free time. I wake up and eat my first meal around 4pm. meal 2 at 7pm (after the gym). Meal 3 at…

I aim for 140 a day of protein. protein is good for you, especially when trying to build muscle. if you're like in the 200s though, i'd watch it. kidney stones. ah!

I know - we didn't see it tonight for some reason though. WTH!
