25% carbs, 35% protein, 40% fat. Keep in mind though I am a type 2 diabetic.

50% carbs would make me gain weight like there's no tomorrow, but everyone is different. Why don't you try it and see how you feel?

I'm a type 2 diabetic so I really have no choice but to eat low-carb. Just a warning though, a lot of people here don't like 'low-carb talk' because they think they're God's gift to fitness. You might get lectured from everyone and their mom for posting this. There is a low-carb group forum where you can get better…

Take a 5-HTP supplement. It works wonders for me. It increases the level of serotonin in your brain and is being used clinically to treat binge eating disorder. It will wipe out your appetite completely, but take it right before bed because it will make you tired ( you'll get a great night's sleep). I get mine for about $5…

It causes cancer PERIOD, but then again so does breathing air... ...we're all screwed.

Yup. Health and fitness are a big part of my life and if we don't have that in common chances are we don't have much of anything in common.

My pants felt wet and...

My first name is Catherine and my middle name is Elizabeth... ...and so is Kate Middleton's...

God's gift to women.

1.) How do you know you should be eating 1400 calories? Based upon your body composition your needs could be a lot MORE or a lot LESS than 1400 calories. 2.) Weight-loss is excruciatingly slow. If you've been at this for less than 6 weeks come back and try again later. 3.) How much weight do you have to lose? 5 lbs, 10…

WEIGHT LIFTING, WEIGHT LIFTING, WEIGHT LIFTING, WEIGHT LIFTNG, WEIGHT LIFTING. Sorry for the all caps, just wanted to make sure you 'heard' me lol. Cardio is great and is absolutely essential, however, if you rely on it alone your body will simply 'shrink.' In other words, you will look the same as you do now, only…

So does breathing air and living on planet earth. We're doomed.

Are you getting enough rest? My appetite has a night and day difference depending on the amount of sleep I get. Also, your serotonin levels might be low. Recent studies have shown that low levels of serotonin are correlated with decreased leptin levels.

You're about to get lectured by everyone and their mom for posting this topic. About 30% of the people here are actually nice and the rest take beef with everything. I know it says these are 'support forums' but they're mostly just a bunch of people telling other people their stupid, incapable, etc. because they hate…

Lol you gotta keep your clothes on bud, or else you'll be swimming in the drool. ;D

*facepalm* <--- BAHAHA I love this.

OMG I love this.

BAHAHAHA :laugh: Love this.

Yes. Both men and women are 'wired' to cheat. HOWEVER, it takes brains to overcome those 'animal instincts' and make a choice to cheat or not to cheat. Hence, you can gauge one's intelligence by the probability of them cheating. Men and women who cheat are less intelligent than the ones who don't (yes I realize that this…

OH SNAP!!! Now whose complaining once the tables have turned hmmm??? We live with images objectifying women in our face 24/7, 365 days a year and for once it's time for some man-candy. Don't get your panties in a bunch, the sun will rise tomorrow and then we can all go back to looking at images of outrageously thin women…

I'd play operation with him any day :wink:

Yup. It's about time we see some men in here ;)

I SAW HIM FIRST! BACK OFF! Lol JK :wink:

Then why are you here?? Exit left.

That's refreshing to hear being that there are so many men threatened by progressive and successful women.

Amen. But on that same note, I hate to hear women talk trash about other women just because they are 'curvy' because in evolutionary terms, the 'curvy' women have better genes than the skinny ones talking trash :wink: (and no, I don't mean YOU personally shorty35565 - I'm just speaking in general :smile: )
