Unless you're trying to eat them dry, I disagree. Oats made up with water or skimmed milk creates a gel that is quite filling considering the calories.

Why explain to her when she's already hurting? It pains her every time you refuse food. You're walking talking proof that she's wrong. Getting upset because she wanted you to is pointless
-
Is today the first time you've been? I only say that because you seem awfully keen considering you only signed up "a few nights ago". Hasn't the DOMs kicked in? I guess possibly not if today or yesterday was the first session.

The nutritional content of pulp vs product will vary based on the exact method used; this includes variables such as temperature, time and pressure. Hopefully someone will give you a decent estimate.

It would vary based on method. If you're overly concerned then there's nothing wrong with store bought and it's all made in a consistent way so the packaging information is accurate

My wife is almost exactly your stats, she finds it hard to stick to anything more agressive than 1lb a week but she's been consistently losing weight with calorie restriction. There isn't a magic way for shorter folk to lose weight unfortunately, she was annoyed that I had to eat more than her at first but I kept telling…

Too much coffee and exercise could deplete your sodium. I believe it's called hyponatreamia

Watch out for mercury poisoning and anemia.

Wouldn't the med just return your metabolism to normal levels? Surely the goal isn't to give you an under active thyroid. I'd imagine that most people just carry on eating the way that they did before taking the medication, the meds return their thyroid to normal and they gain weight. You seem to be quite switched on about…

When men gain weight we lower testosterone. So yeah, being overweight as a man can cause low testosterone symptoms

I had this problem. I raised my sodium intake to 2300 and it improved slightly

Eat smaller meals

Scan the barcode then check the packaging that the food came in. If everything matches then you're good
-
Reducing overall body fat is the only way. As you rightly pointed out, you can't spot reduce

Some people never settle down and learn to accept a particular weight. Eating disorders are a tale of low self esteem
-
I only struggled with the last few lbs because I was happier and healthier. It was easier to see how important it was to skip the extra calories when I was overweight and sick, the closer I got to my goal, the harder it got because my reasons for losing weight were largely gone. No idea why you would be scared about eating…

It's under goals > calorie, carb, protein and fat goals.

The lack of weight loss is water retention. Your muscles hold water while they heal

The amount of weight you use should be set by the number of repetitions that you complete in each set. Too light and you risk doing cardio on the spot. 1-5 reps is more strength 6-12 reps is more hypertrophy 12-20 reps is more endurance 20+ is moving towards cardio Commonly people choose 8-12. Starting at 8 reps per set,…

I'm getting stressed just reading that. Yes it is possible to rewire neural pathways but it takes time because most of our core beliefs are rooted in childhood. This sounds a bit like self medication for general anxiety, perhaps the change in lifestyle has given you the tools to handle the stress more productively.…

Calories are a measure of heat energy. If you don't like measurements then stop studying science.

I'm going to say exactly what others have said... just to make sure you know that we're all thinking it lol. Talk to your doctor asap

Stop pushing yourself so hard. Pick one or two things in life that you REALLY want and focus on them. You sound like me when I was spreading myself too thinly
-
DON'T beat yourself up. You need to learn from mistakes, everyone does, but beating yourself up doesn't need to be a part of that process. A calm and rational look at what went wrong and how to improve the outcome next time is all that is needed. When we beat ourselves up we are effectively trying to condition our minds to…

You gain muscle during a bulk, strength too. You can gain strength by keeping reps low even in a cut, just much slower when cutting. Power lifters like to try to keep within a particular weight bracket so they try reduce hypertrophy while training strength by keeping reps low. Strength isn't muscle, muscle becomes strong.

Try nuts

Do you heel strike? You need decent trainers if you do.

The last place I put it on

The irony is, any "younger people" that are able to read this post are already trying to do something about their weight. You could try giving out free advice at McDonalds if that's really your thing.

I just want to say that losing a lot of weight doesn't ALWAYS affect people negatively. I lost 112lbs and only good things happened. People can lose weight by simply eating less food. Eating nutritious foods to support your health and wellbeing isn't a requirement for weight loss. When you eat fewer amounts of already low…
