No, You didn't miss it. That one I didn't cite because I don't care, MFP sets people to 1200 and only cautions them about going lower. This own website that you're posting on has set that at the limit, and they have liability concerns to think of, They've probably built in a margin of error, to make certain that their…

Huh, interesting assessment, seeing as I am the only one on this thread that thinks that 1200 calories a day is fine. Everyone else seems to characterize it as an eating disorder. I'm also the only person who is saying things, and then CITING the study in which it is said. You all can have your Broscience. Good luck OP!!!…

I didn't give her personalized advice, telling her how many calories to eat, numbers to follow. I gave her general guidelines on how to accomplish her goals. I don't hate everyone, I hate intolerance and ignorance. There is no reason why people should shame this person into eating more than what she is hungry for. When…

Sorry, all their talk about healthy eating, and starvation mode and everything is pointless. Don't eat when you aren't hungry. If you are overweight, then eat less. Your cut can be small, or it can be drastic, depending on the results you want. All their talk about damaging your metabolism and not eating enough is…

I didn't say they were meaningless, I said they were unfullfilling. I eat plenty of healthy fats a lot of the time, I love fish. I've just never eaten a spoonful of peanut butter and said with a smacky mouth "MMM, I am SO *full* right now! That hit the spot!" And if you want to talk about getting healthy, losing weight =…

Yeahhhh, I don't have one. Which is why I don't go around telling people that they aren't eating right, or that they are eating too little. I also don't load my days with meaningless, unfulfilling foods like nut butter *just* to get to that calorie mark. I'm fat, I'm not starving, I can stand to stick to low calorie foods…

I'm not going to sit here and argue with you guys, but I have to ask you where you learned that. From lessons and classes getting your trainer's or nutritionists license? All of you eat more types pull numbers and stats out of thin air, and I'm tired of ignorance. There's nothing wrong with Fasting, Calorie cutting,…

:wink: LOL, Please stop saying please stop!! There, mexican standoff.

The self applied logic falls short of brilliance right here - If that applied everywhere, then why are two people, of the same height different in appearance? Some people are blessed with great metabolisms, they can eat anything and still be skinny. A lot of thin guys who are trying to bulk on muscle just CAN'T, they have…

No, he's being a d***head. Unless you care about weight loss, about bodyfat, you're GOING to have that additude, and he obviously doesn't care about controlling calories. I feel the same way about high powered foods. Bread with fat and fatty protein on top? why don't I just down a can of reddi whip and top it off with some…

WHY?

Take an empty gallon jug, and fill it with water. Weigh yourself on the scale, and then weigh yourself AGAIN holding the gallon of water. Water weighs 8.3 pounds per gallon. That's 2 pounds per quart or 1 pound per 16 ounce large glass of water. This is why weight loss shows like The biggest loser Dehydrate the contestants…

Same here. I tried all of the different methods for calculating different ways to lose, but the big hangup is finding the correct numbers, your ACTUAL BMR, as measured in real life (or finding your TDEE through what calorie count keeps your weight steady) I'm just doing it MFP style, using a general outline of what my BMR…

what? If it fits your macros. now stop raining on my white rice parade!

By eating white rice. There's really no reason not to. It's rice, taking the bran coat off just makes it less chewy while removing an insignificant amount of fiber, and an insignificant amount of nutrients. Have a fiber one bar if you need more, or something, eat more fresh vegetables. Those have more fiber in them than…

All of them. Jk, eat what you want, in moderation, and make sure it fits your calorie goals for the day. It's simple!!

IPOARM. It wants you to eat only 20% below your TDEE, and calculates it using the "level of activity" multiplier, like, if you're very active, it wants you to multiply your BMR by 1.5. It then tells you to eat back your exercise calories. I think that it's double dipping, you should eat your excersise calories only if your…

You have GOT to tell us his reaction!!! AMAZING job, I'm in awe :love:

My weird thing is I can grow an epic, full beard in about ten days. I recently stop shaving it because I was SO tired of having a 5 o'clock shadow that was, in reality a 3 day lazy-*kitten* beard

Internet calculators are sorcery and witchcraft. Go get it measured by someone with fat calipers, buy some calipers at GNC, or go have a bod pod assessment. You look awesome btw.

yes.

QFT Cutting off fat, and changing your body composition is probably the hardest thing on earth to do, because it requires that we starve ourselves. And I don't mean starve as in go days without eating, I mean starve as in, eat less calories per day than we need. what's your diet composition, your macro goals? what things…

Sure thing. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! Hopefully you'll find a treatment that works! Our western diet has gotten a bit crazy.. when you think about it, how do you not eat sugaaar?

http://www.sucraid.net/about-csid Why was the conversation with the nurse so short? They have enzyme replacement therapies out now, different kinds of treatment options, ways of managing the deficiency so that there is less of an impact on a diet. It seems to me that the diagnosis shouldn't have been given over the phone…

Why was a nurse telling you this and not a doctor? From what I can read, it takes an intestinal biopsy to confirm this kind of diagnosis. Low sucrase doesn't mean NO sucrase. so things that have natural sugars in them are fine. But high powered, sugar loaded stuff is OUT. However, if your son didn't have a biopsy, I'd be…

one or two =P

You ARE beautiful, you look stunning. And you're an inspiration to me!

I remember reading this 45 days ago, and I'm STILL laughing..
