Sometimes A, sometimes B, C, D, E ... I watch my calorie intake and micronutrients. Don't really care about carbs/fat. I eat what I want to eat.

You clearly never ate good calamari.

You can have a balanced diet while only eating raw. So?

Works very well for me. Sometimes I need a little bit more: a tea or a coffee with some milk.

What's wrong with eating raw if you can meet your food goals (calories, macronutrients, micronutrients etc.)? Besides lol broscience I haven't heard a good scientific argument against raw food. FWIW raw doesn't necessarily mean exclusively fruits and veg. You can eat fish and meat raw too. (I have seen raw liver recipes.)

Here is the main mistake in your thought process imo. Why is the "youngling" weened off? It's not weened off because milk is bad for him. He is just big enough now to get his proteins and fats etc. by himself from another source. And the mother can go on live her own life again and produce more offspring. If the…

There is ~10days in october where you did not log any food. Another 10 days where you logged only ~700kcal which is definitely not enough and might work against your goals. IMO you shoudl try to eat your calories, don't starve yourself! Plus try to be more consistent with the logging. What are your stats. Maybe 1200kcal is…

The scale won't lie to you :) I think losing 38lbs is a great achievement. You're a nurse aren't you? Check what it does to your medical stats, blood pressure etc. I lost 24lbs and I feel so much healthier and fitter! Why don't you post pictures on here. You can do it anonymously without your face etc. People will tell you…

Why would anybody want a sixpack while breastfeeding? It's already difficult to maintain a sixpack during "normal" periods in life. I doubt that you'll find any serious research on that topic.

Hi Jasmine, don't worry. Stay within your calorie goal, exercise and you'll see results. Losing weight is a lot about being honest to yourself, being disciplined and consistent. If you do it on a 500kcal-100kcal deficit it's a slow but healthy process. Don't expect big weight loss jumps. Also. You just started 10 days ago.…

If you're looking for bodybuilding type of protein shakes. I found this shop in bielefeld on the internet: http://www.bodychoice.de/fitness-shop-bielefeld Like I said. All "normal" protein shakes you'll get either in pharamacies or drugstores ("Rosmann", "DM" etc.)

What kind of protein shakes are you looking for? If you want meal-replacement shakes youll get them in pharmacies and drugstores. I usually buy the "Gehe Balance Diätdrink". You'll get it in any German Pharamacy. They might have to order it but then you'll have it in the afternoon or the next day! It looks like this: As an…

http://edition.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/11/08/twinkie.diet.professor/index.html "I wish I could say the outcomes are unhealthy. I wish I could say it's healthy. I'm not confident enough in doing that. That frustrates a lot of people. One side says it's irresponsible. It is unhealthy, but the data doesn't say that."

A plateau can have many reasons. Water retention, body recomposition etc. You should use check more indicators than just a scale: tape measure, bodyfat, lean body mass etc. I found out that during my last plateau my bodyfat actually dropped but I gained muscle mass. So I didn't see any change on the scale for 2-3 weeks.…

Not sure if I understand you correct. (English is my 3rd language) I would try to hit my goal on a day to day basis. Basically looking at a day as an isolated event. If you missed one day and ate too much (or drank) then I would not try to compensate by eating less the following days! I have seen several examples where…

Very often you DON'T EAT ENOUGH. Try to meet your food goal. Eating too little is as bad as eating too much. I have set my goal to a 500kcal deficit. If I eat 100kcal over my goal I steal ate 400kcal less than I need. And I will lose weight. Maybe at a slower pace but I'll get there. Like somebody said: it's a marathon not…

That's excatly what I drink while cycling: 1L water with 1g salt (probably less). Works perfectly.

Congratulations!

You look fantastic! Thanks for sharing! Could be because of the breastfeeding, no?

"Food is any substance consumed to provide nutritional support for the body. It is usually of plant or animal origin, and contains essential nutrients, such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, or minerals.

This.

In a little Italian ice cream parlour. Obviously homemade. basil ice cream Tasted very fresh and yummy.

It's very difficult to lose weight and gain muscle at the same time. It's much easier to gain muscle mass when eating at a surplus and then cutting down (while trying to not lose too much lean body mass). If you don't have a scale that shows your lean body mass (or BF%) it's difficult to judge if you are gaining muscle or…

Hi. Saw your success pics. You look awesome. I think you took them down now, no? Anyway. In order to get "toned" you need to drop body fat. So keep eating at a calorie deficit. Be patient. It'll take time! Lifting is great. If you need ideas for workouts check this link: http://www.muscleandstrength.com/exercises/main.html…

Wow. You look cute. Good job.

Huge difference! Look at your face! You look great!
