  • No. This is an unhealthy and bad idea. MFP already calculates a deficit.
  • Lily of France sports bras are great if you are on a budget. Under wire + sized by bra size.
  • 1. read fast food nation. that will make you not want to eat it real quick 2. you will crave it a lot less after a while. It's an addiction just like any other. It's that mix of sugar, fat, and salt that keeps us coming back. I used to be the same about 10 years ago (when I was your age), but now I crave it rarely. 3. step…
  • Those who advocate not eating back or having huge deficits seem to only care about fast weight loss and honestly believe the negative health effects won't touch them. Mostly because the scale is giving them the numbers they want and the hair loss hasn't been noticed yet. The weight drops steadily and the health effects…
  • So how are you burning that much? If I kickbox for 1h30min and cycle back and forth (30min total), I burn a grand total of 936 calories. That's a pretty intense 2 hours.
  • I do not agree at all. I came here because of a book on habits - The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business. In it, it describes a psychological study where a group of students kept a food journal. That's the only change they made. What they found is that not only did they all eat healthier, lost more…
  • I agree with the OP about 1/2 way. I've seen people starve themselves into malnutrition, complain about the health problems that come from it, gain the weight back quickly and do it again. All for the sake of being skeletor. That nonsense is horrible to your body. I don't east fast food (except on vacation) and packaged…
  • I'm sorry, but what is the point of this? You need water. You need it to function. Drinking a lot of water isn't a bad thing - unless it's gallons in a short period of time. The 8 cups has always been a baseline for low active people. It's not how many cups of water you drink, but the colour of your urine. If you’re…
  • I use the MFP app to log things while I'm waiting for trains and buses. Then endomondo to track cycling and running. It can track other exercises also, but that's all I use it for.
  • I don't understand the reasoning of "don't log something you did when you were fat." I thought the point was to eat slightly under the calories you needed based on the amount you burn every day. Just because you clean when you are fat, doesn't mean you don't burn calories now during it. I'm set a no activity because I sit…
  • Because sometimes it's actually true. I've seen a lot of people burn off the fat AND muscle by going into starvation mode. It makes me worry about their health when they turn into skeletor. As long as you aren't starving yourself and you aren't under weight, ignore the comments.
  • Fruits contains a simple sugar that is metabolized quickly and easily by the body, unlike the processed sugar that is found in almost everything. All plant foods are predominantly carbohydrate, not just natural sugars, but healthy starches as well as structural elements, like cellulose, that provide fiber. They also…
