Can you follow the Special K challenge for the rest of your life? No? Then don't even attempt it. Doing stuff like that is what causes yo-yo weight loss/gain.

Cauliflower mashed fauxtatoes are gross. Just set it on fire.

There are a lot of opinions and a lot of studies to back them all up. Ultimately, it comes down to what works for you. Personally, I do high fat, moderate protein, and moderate carb because that works for me. I figured this out after trying a primal diet, realizing it wasn't sustainable for me, but liking how I felt…

I also considered it a few months ago, but realized quickly that it wasnt sustainable for me. At the very least, pasta is one of my favorite foods and it was one of the biggest no-nos. I did, however, like how I felt, so I've set my macros to 50/25/25 f/p/c and it's been working out well.

I am 5'0. I'm a little over 130lbs right now and my goal weight is 110lbs, but my biggest goal is to tone up and be less jiggly.

Don't buy it! You can find all three levels for free on YouTube! I've just started it, but I love it so far. Once I'm done with this, I'm doing Ripped in 30.

If he's acting extra hungry, it's probably a growth spurt. You should be eating at least 500 extra calories per day to sustain milk production.

I'm at about 133 (recently went up from 130 due to the holidays) and my goal is 110, so 20lbs almost exact.

I have a Fitbit Ulta and I love it. If I had to replace it, I would get the One. The other two can't track sleep (which is nifty), but, more importantly, they don't track stairs, which is a big one for me and not worth the trade off. The Flex also doesn't appear to show the info until you are able to sync it and view the…

Any soup can be under 100 calories. It's all in how you portion it out.

I use our deep fryer fairly often. I just find like for like on the database and use that. For example, if I'm making fried chicken, I've found KFC's original is most similar to my recipe so I use that.

That's because fat is not evil and you need it for basic functions to live. This is why the diet is suspect and why the OP is being told to have her father either get a second opinion or have him get a referral to a dietitian who understands his needs, can work around them, and give him ideas. At any rate, it sounds like…

Breakfast: two eggs, basted or oatmeal or a smoothie Lunch: chicken noodle soup or chili or a ham and mayo sandwich on whole wheat Snacks: nuts, smoothies, Jelly Bellies (but that's more to fix a sweet tooth than a snack), fruit, a small ham and mayo sandwich on whole wheat, cheese

I had a juicer for a while and got rid of it after the novelty wore off. Get a blender (I personally recommend the Ninja Master Prep) and make a smoothie instead. It's so much less wasteful, nutrition-wise and usually tastes better, plus you can add stuff like yogurt, milk, chia seeds, oatmeal, protein powder, etc..

I'm cutting out alcohol because it seems to stall my weight loss, it makes me bloat, gives me reflux, and makes me sleep terribly. My last drink for a while was for my birthday last night. I will consider adding back a glass of red wine a night after a few months. I'm also in the process of cutting out soda. As soon as I…

I'm female, 5'0, currently about 133lbs, and my goal is 110lbs.

Anecdotal evidence and all, but I wasn't eating them back for a while and I was irritable and grumpy and always tired. I upped my intake by a mere 300 calories and feel way better, so much so that I'm considering upping it another 200. I'd rather lose weight slowly and feel good while doing it.

First off, which Fitbit do you have? If you have the Zip, it won't do it. It has to be an Ultra or a One. Second, if you do have an Ultra or a One, you just hold the button down until it starts the stop watch, go to sleep with it in the wrist band on your non-dominant wrist, and in the morning, hold the button down until…

Crawling too! I found that one out after chasing my toddler yesterday.

Make it a threesome. It's the best part.

Weight before pregnancy: 160 Weight when I delivered: 145 Current weight: 132 Goal weight: 110 Age: 27 (on Sunday) Delivered: Dec. 22, 2011 My pregnancy was kind of a freak of nature. I had almost no symptoms (not even morning sickness) and I lost weight without even trying. A couple of weeks after my daughter was born, I…

Well that lasted like two seconds...

Got a source? Or is anyone who doesn't say "McDonald's is the devil" being backed by McDonald's? The diet he follows after his experiment is over to get back to normal is very anti-McDonald's (it's a paleo/primal diet) so, even if your statement has some validity, the crux of the film isn't even about how awesome…

Not to mention there have been several follow-up experiments that have had vastly different results (including those in the film Fat Head, which actually questions the authenticity of several of Spurlock's claims).

My husband and I are going to Disney World, probably for a week in May, and we're getting the dining plan. Two meals per day, including dessert, plus a snack a day (we usually split a coffee and a pastry at one of the bakeries for breakfast). Their portions are HUGE, even for the "fast food" stuff. I've decided to not fret…

Thanks for the heybales suggestion. While I'm doing ok on 1200 calories, I am a little concerned I'm eating too little. I decided I am going to go ahead and give his calculations a shot and see what happens after a month or two.

I love my Ultra. It's one of my favorite gadgets and by far the best gadget I've bought for myself health-wise. I'm way more motivated to get moving and it's been very accurate for me so far. I would recommend it to anyone, dieting or not. It's a great little tool.

I'm 5'0. I follow my Fitbit's calorie suggestion (which is based on my individual stats and activity level). Their suggested consumption is usually 1200 calories per day (sometimes more for an active day, rarely less because chasing a toddler helps keep me at least marginally active). It starts me off at 900 calories for…

I have a fitbit and I love it. I would recommend it to anyone, looking to lose weight or not. It really motivates you to get more active.

How have I not heard about this site yet? That's kind of awesome.
