This is sexual harassment on the part of your boss. You should bring this up with your HR department.

What makes people fat is partially overeating but also from having a massive amount of glucose and insulin in their blood, which limits fat from being burnt by their muscles and keeps them hungry even though they eat "enough" calories. I track my calories through MFP but I don't pay attention to where they're at during the…

Every lifestyle change is maintainable if you have any willpower. The clincher is willpower, not the diet you choose. I know many people who have eaten paleo/keto for many years. What is different between them and someone who isn't able to maintain those diets? Willpower. How did humanity follow a paleo/keto diet for…

They're not *the* root of the problem, but they're a main contributor to the obesity levels in the US. Telling people that they need 300g of carbs is not helping anyone. While you can eat carbs and be healthy, most of us don't. I am choosing to eliminate carbs from my diet entirely (save for about 20-30g per day) and in a…

Not to mention humanity for hundreds of thousands of years lived just fine on low-carb diets. High carb diets are unnatural and the reason why everyone is sick and fat. Lots of "science" (read: studies rife with selective bias) promote high carb diets. But that's mostly because the organizations heading up the studies…

This is completely false. The brain requires fatty acids. It requires very little carbs.

What has worked for me is eating like our ancestors did. I don't mean eschewing any modern comforts and eating undercooked meat and huddling in a cave. I mean choosing food items that are ideal for human biology. Skipping things like sweets, grains, sugars, and carbs in general and instead loading up on protein and fat.…

I get a burger as a lettuce wrap and a diet soda. No fries. Maybe a side salad if I'm hungry enough. It's usually around 800-1000 calories. Minimal carbs.

If you can't find a buddy to run with, try to run during active hours of the day, bring your phone, bring pepper spray if you can. Avoid quiet/low traffic streets. Let people know when you're going on a run (you don't have to be dramatic or anything. Just post on Facebook something like "Time to run! Gonna hit up…

Fat acceptance is probably one of the most damaging things to health and fitness. It tells people that fat is normal and acceptable and not a very obvious sign that they need to change their habits. Fat isn't healthy, at all. It's a symptom of eating disorders, health problems, or other issues. This would be like "rash…

I don't have an "off button" but I do have a "snooze button" for hunger: tall glass of water. Sometimes I really crave a sweet and I know I'd be just throwing away calories on it, so I drink a cup of water. I generally feel the craving fade away. If I'm still hungry about ten minutes after the water, I'll make a snack, but…

This has given me such inspiration. I am in the upper 200s right now and my goal weight is upper 100s. I basically look like you in the first photo. I hope I can look like you in the second soon enough!
