https://www.hellolife.net/eating-healthy/b/the-role-of-the-hypothalamus-in-hunger/ Here’s a great article about the hypothalamus and hunger. My son has a rare chromosomal disorder called Prader Willi syndrome that effects it and he is constantly hungry (psychologically) and when he eats sugar or processed foods, it makes…

Also, mfp macro charts take care of how many carbs, proteins, fats.. etc we are supposed to get in the day

="janejellyroll;c-40933168"] Lots of things are great for us to eat, I don't deny that. What I'm challenging specifically are the lists floating on the internet that claim to be collections of "metabolism building foods" or "fat burning foods." If OP wants to eat low GI or high fiber or lean protein, they certainly can.…

I have pins and pins of pintrist lists of foods that are pretty much just great for you to eat. No, they do not say hot peppers. It’s a wonderful cheat sheet for New dieters who are pretty much confused when we tell them to eat low glycemic or high fiber or lean protein.. you may be surprised by this, but a lot of people…

This!! I didn’t lose my 130 lbs by drowning my sorrows in milkshakes.. I felt the guilt, I couldn’t do things others could.. I had guilt.. I had pain... I channeled it into the NEED to get up and get active every day. Even if you’re watching tv, Move for half an hour to start.. don’t bury the guilt.. let it be your fuel!

I’ve lost 130 lbs with this method! I like to think I work smart, not hard! Lol!

I dance. I don’t really do it for any other reason than weight loss and strength and endurance, but I’ve chosen an active hobby that I can get better and better at. I have little goals and little milestones to concentrate on.. (get my feet strong enough to shuffle, get my knees strong enough to bend down, get my hips…

If you just went from eating tons of sugar to not eating any added sugar, you are probably just experiencing sugar withdrawal. It doesn’t last. Usually 3 days if you drink lots of water and eat fibrous veggies, low glycemic fruits and lean protein. Push through the first 3 days and it’ll be a lot easier for you to focus on…

Cravings can be a result of withdrawal from sugar if you have had a fair amount in the previous days before “dieting” that’s why you can wake up ravenous the morning after a big meal some days, but other days when you’ve hardly eaten, you don’t feel hungry at all upon waking. That gnawing feeling in your stomach when…

There is caffeine in thermogenics.. so if you take one, really watch your intake of caffeine elsewhere. If it gets to the point where you feel you need more.. stop taking them for a few days and go back to coffee.. then start back up.. that’s how I manage it.

I use Pam butter spray for a lot of things lol! Lost 130 lbs!

I’m scared of apple cider vinegar! I keep hearing it gives you bad stomach issues as serious as gastroparisis!

This is my problem. OP.. i know when i get around alcohol and food I shouldn’t have, it’s a recipe for disaster. If I know I’m not strong enough yet, or not in a place where I want to take the risk, then I don’t put myself there. I don’t drink, and sometimes I do isolate myself from social situations if they aren’t major…

When someone goes through a change like you did, it’s hard if others don’t change with you because it’s not just your diet that changes. I had the same problem but thankfully, my husband came around. I did, however lose a LOT of friends with unhealthy outlooks and lifestyles. Generally, i think If someone succeeds too much…

Look for a thermogenic at gnc.. they supply energy for workouts. I take one each morning before my daily workout.

I sent you a request.

I’ve lost 130 lbs and struggle with binge behavior even now! I like to think like this.. I work hard regularly to build armor to protect me from the eventual face plant I will make. I’m inspired by knowing I’m going to screw up one of these days.. but the longer I keep from screwing up, the stronger I’ll be when I screw…

Set a specific time for activity every day. I choose the morning when I used to sleep.. an hour.. I thought about all the time I spent watching tv, how much time I give to that. In the beginning it really doesn’t matter how hard you work in that hour, the most important thing is establishing routine. But it’s an active…

I manage bipolar with good nutrition and exercise on top of Meds. It’s the only way to manage my moods. I lost 130 lbs getting control of my lifestyle and I’m so grateful I am able to understand why I may feel a certain way etc.. I underwent a complete body and mind study during my loss because really, that’s what major…

There’s an app for that... Lol.. I actually had an alarm set for every hour, little birdies told me to drink some water. It worked for a good while, until I started ignoring them..

I’m an introvert, part time (bipolar) lmao.. isolation really helped me lose a great deal of my weight! (130 lbs) I did all my workouts from home for the first 4 years! Part of what keeps me going is the creativity of my workouts

I’m a veteran here. Ive lost 130 lbs. I have 15 I’d like to lose still. Im well educated in nutrition and fitness. I quit for about a year so a lot of my friends dropped. Add me!

Oh gosh, you should really only focus on yourself. I know that’s easier said than done, but your success is going to be individual and unlike anybody else’s. My success came from learning my own body and not looking at anyone else. Except Richard Simmons. Lol. I used the motto, moving is better than not moving.. so I just…

Oh god yes! Ive lost 130 lbs and even through that, the whole time I’ve struggled with binge behaviors. I still have times where something will happen or I’ll feel anxious and I just need to blow off some steam. It’s nowhere near as bad as it used to be. I get right back up the day after and continue as usual the next day…

I’ve been using mfp for 6 years. I’ve lost 130 lbs.. I stopped for a little while and went on my own awhile, but my portion control got a bit out of control. I’ve been back about a month and I’m loving it! I’m pretty educated on nutrition and the psychological issues involved with weight loss. If you’d like to add me, I’m…

Ice cream! Candy! Doughnuts and cake! Ribeye! Buttercream frosting! Cookies! Pancakes and soda! Like many people here, I don’t keep bad things in the house. (Except on holidays) I have a problem with discipline only at certain times.. usually in the evenings, so I do my shopping early in the day, and I actually eat pretty…

I have bipolar disorder, and it was really hard for me. Thankfully the depression only lasted as long as my inability to move and exercise enough to improve my mood. I use exercise and nutrition to manage my moods and to have that impaired for so long really threw me over. It really only had me down emotionally for 3 weeks…

Lol.. sorry!!! I didn't really check your gender!! I suppose for a guy, tightening things down there doesn't change that much. For a girl, tightening things changes a lot!

It's just aesthetic.. and for collecting lint.
