My current weight is about 150 and my goal weight is 118 so we're very similar! Friend request me if you want to motivate each other!

This is not true. Your body will metabolize substances/nutrients in this order: alcohol, glucose/carbs, fat, muscle.

The freshman 15 was very very hard for me to avoid. The biggest problem I have is that eating becomes a social activity rather than one simply to sustain life. Girls want to grab lunch to get to know you better, boys want to stop at the dining hall with you to get dinner. Alcohol carries many many calories and for many…

It depends on the amount of protein that you're already getting in your diet. There was a very interesting study that just came out in about February in which three groups of people were each fed 1000 calories a day over their maintenance calorie budget. One group was very low protein and high in carbohydrates and the…

I've been experiencing this lately too! All of a sudden my appetite is completely gone and I have to almost force myself to eat.

People need to be careful when quoting the study in WW2. It is important to note that the subjects only stopped losing weight and started actually catabolizing their lean muscle when they reached a body fat percentage of between 5-10%. It also should be noted that these subjects were taking part in extremely vigorous…

I read the article and wasn't really sure that any of it really supported your argument nor was any of it really conclusive in any manner. Granted, a lot of it didn't make a ton of sense to me, I'm only a first year science student so a lot of it was foreign.

I'm going to make a very controversial statement that I feel like might get me ostracized from MFP forever, but I do not believe in starvation mode. People say that they upped their calories and "all of a sudden" were losing weight again! Because your life is not a controlled experiment in a lab you cannot draw causation…

It seems that peanut butter is a lot of people's vice! Have any of you guys tried PB2? It's peanut butter that has most of the fat calories removed and comes in a powdered form. You add water to it and it tastes like and has the same consistency as full fat peanut butter minus most of the calories and fat. I believe a…

Wow I can totally relate! I always slip up and think "it's not a big deal, tomorrow I'll start being good for real now" or "I can just start again tomorrow".

Thank you PeggyWoodson! I don't binge because I feel deprived typically its because I'm stressed or because I have emotional ties to foods and once I start eating unhealthy things I have a hard time stopping.

I'm into my third week and noticing great improvements in my endurance! Its helped with my running as well, I'm a lot faster and stronger since starting.
