I am near "ideal" race weight and my performance improved drastically as I was moving closer to my current weight. However its hard to evaluate how much of that was because of weight and how much because my increasing mileage. I have a feeling most of my progress was a result of increasing mileage, not decreasing weight,…

Drinking water after every meal is great for cavity prevention, particularly when you do not have access to a tooth brush.

So fiber is the key? Can I just add some Benefiber to my soda for the same effect? OP, On a serious note, it is fine to cut out specific high sugar treats if they lead you to binge eating and exceeding your calorie/macro targets. Focus on the specific foods causing the binge eating, not sugar itself. Sugar is not the…

This is not true for everyone. I suggest you experiment with both the size and type of your meal (if any). Sometimes I eat first, but I usually perform best if my stomach is empty beforehand. Everyone is different

It is sustainable for some people (there have been multiple examples listed in this thread) but fructose is not the major problem. Vitamin B12 deficiency for example is a much bigger issue. If there is something to fear it is the impact of minimal protein and fat consumption not sugar. I personally love fruit and have gone…

I recommend you order whatever you think will taste better (and include a beer if you so desire) and try to have fun! You can adjust your calorie/macro targets on the day before/after the date if necessary to compensate.

There are a few people on this site who log everything months in advance down to the last tic tac and piece of gum. Others never plan anything until it enters their mouth. I recommend you do what works best for you!

I have 2 problems with this: 1. The cost is the same so the cost per calorie has gone way up! 2. I often DO eat the entire pizza by myself (and fit it into my calorie/macro targets) so this skinny slice pizza is likely to leave me hungry! I can maintain a BMI near 20 (perfect for long distance running) while regularly…

Don't worry about what other people think. Sumo wrestlers run marathons. Nobody will laugh at you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rm07iPOl4ko

1. Calculate your TDEE 2. Consume less that your TDEE 3. Lose weight

I think you will find this group helpful: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/49-intermittent-fasting For the record, I fast on occasion. Some days I consume 6000+ calories and some days I consume 0. I always am near my weekly calorie/macro targets and maintain my goal weight (for long distance running) year round.

Reading this thread makes me crave free pizza, bagels and tootsie rolls

Good idea. For the record I run a similar amount and use a TDEE of 2800.

Welcome to MFP! Not everyone here needs to lose a lot of weight. There are many people who want to lose 10 pounds or less. You are not alone There are a lot of people here who actually want to gain weight and build muscle as well!
-
I recommend you eat lots of vegetables. Clean eating can definitely help make you fat as long as you remain sedentary and consume in excess of your TDEE. Good luck!

Count me in! 6000 should be pretty easy for me tomorrow. I am fasting today to prepare myself. Lets have fun!

nice work!

I am way over 3000 calories every year. 3000 calories are not impossible to fit into your daily calorie requirement. Just go for a long morning run on Thanksgiving!

My mantra for buffets is "get your money's worth!"

Unless you are unconscious on a feeding tube you are responsible for your caloric intake. 99.999% of people on a diet should add "sabotage" to their "excuse" thesaurus entry.

Sometimes the truth is not easy to hear but his answer looks perfect on all counts.

Halloween is just one day. Have fun!

The answer completely depends on the shape you are in to begin with. Some people skip the entire program and run a 5k (or more) on day one (because their endurance is already developed from swimming, cycling or some other activity). Other people may need to repeat a certain day/week multiple times. In general, the slower…

I am not on a keto diet but would also be interested in seeing such a study. Has anyone heard of any athlete ever winning an endurance event on a keto diet?

+1 The only thing I would add is to be sure to use a full range of motion for your pull-ups. I see many people in the gym perform many reps but "cheat" by not using a full range of motion. It is better to do fewer reps with proper form than more reps without a full range of motion

Trying this tomorrow for breakfast. I will consume 1 gallon of whole milk plus some greek yogurt and string cheese. GOMAD! Who else wants to join me? I do food challenges quite often and my diary is open (if you are on my friends list). I will be at a caloric deficit tomorrow. GOMAD can be used for cutting or bulking…

Bump! New members, this is a great place to find knowledgeable people to help you out. Ignore the cat gifs and fad diets. Ask advice from those who have succeeded and want to give back.
