Very sensible advice indeed.

[rant] Drink when you're thirsty or if your urine is dark yellow. We are the products of millions of years of evolution and have very good mechanisms to keep ourselves hydrated. Maybe in extremely hot climates, altitude or after extensive exercise making sure we take in fluids is important, but for the vast majority of us…

Definitely not a hoax - I can remember reading about this chap when he was at his highest weight and bed-bound. It's a huge achievement to have lost so much weight, but it has left him partially disabled due to the amount of excess skin that he carries on his body.
-
It must be horrible to have that much loose skin - I'm surprised that he hasn't been able to get some removed on purely medical grounds by the NHS.

Well done Sir - very impressive and motivational! ^ Thanks for this summary - I'm hoping to do the same

No, your metabolism doesn't shut down and halt! If your metabolism halts then you are dead!

@ majope I think we are fighting an uphill battle here :(

Sigh... Why? If you are peeing a lot that means you are drinking too much water. Water may be good , but more does not always equal better. Your kidneys do a pretty good job but "flushing" them with lots of water is not necessary - in fact you may lose some water soluble nutrients.

@nerdlyness Such as?

Why? Almost all the nutrients of an egg are in the yolk - eat the whole thing!

That's a terrible waste of food !

I'd say concentrate on your finals! don't stress about what you are eating. You won't get a second chance at your exams but you have the rest of your life to deal with dietary issues.

This might sound counter-intuitive, but have you tried skipping breakfast completely? For me eating breakfast seems to get my appetite working, whereas I'm fine to lunchtime if I don't have anything.

Great advice!

I thought this post was someone complaining that the weight units on MFP are not in Newtons :)

sorry mate - no

Evidence please.

As the result of millions of years of evolution we have by now developed the ability to keep ourselves hydrated under almost all circumstances through our sense of thirst. If you are having to force yourself to consume fluids, peeing every 15 minutes or having colourless urine you are overdoing it. Under extreme conditions…

Well done Sir! Very impressive and inspirational :) 5.2 lbs lost/week (= 2.4 kg/week) !

If your Dr suggested this diet, then he/she ought to give you guidance on what you should be eating. Zero carb AND low-fat will be very restrictive in my opinion.

When I was 1 month old Yuri Gagarin became the first man in space.

If you having to pee a lot then that means you are well hydrated and you could cut back on fluid intake.

Yes
