Sugar snap peas dipped in soy sauce, because I don't worry about sodium ahaha Radishes by themselves, broccoli by itself, cherry tomatoes by themselves. cucumbers dipped in yogurt ranch

If I were you, I'd use a combo of IF and picking things you know are less calorie heavy. Like when I went to Mexico, there was no nutritional information but I know that a jalapeno popper and a fish taco aren't on the same level. I use IF all the time because I prefer one large meal a day, but you can still gain weight on…

I don't count at all on my birthday, Passover, and Thanksgiving, and I've lost and maintained a 70 pound loss, from a size 20 to a size 4.

I eat like a snake, my wife always teases, so it's: No breakfast very small lunch (200-350 c) huge dinner (800-1,200c) snack (200 c about) I DOUBT this would be ideal for most people, but it works for me.

Beef summer sausage, I will sit there and eat the whole damn thing ahahaha. Same with lil smokies. I can have them in the house, but I have to be careful.

If you're having trouble, mix up the times and macro level you eat at. I do best with a form of IF--I eat a very small lunch, more like a snack, a very large dinner, and a late night snack. This works best for me. Some people do best on 3 evenly spaced evenly caloric meals. Don't be afraid to try new approaches to control…

I can reduce my waist almost that much with a waist cincher, which is what I would do in that situatiion, but be prepared for the discomfort especially if you're going to be wearing it all day and never have before.

I would think hibachi would be pretty easy to eat lighter calorie on. I'd just google benihana calories and pick something similar.

I have a weak jaw, so I have to be at normal BMI before I have a hope in hell of not having a double chin, and it's only at 130 or under that I pretty much never have one in pictures. So your bone structure has something to do with it too!

Lost my first 50 that way, no prob. And I didn't even start running because of a plateau, I just wanted to take it up. Eta: My body shape hasn't really changed--I was hourglassy before, and I'm hourglassy now, maybe even more so?

Yeah, honestly the one downside I've experienced from losing weight is extra male attention. It's pretty normal, especially if you aren't accustomed to it, to feel unease about it, and especially the cultural idea that we're supposed to be flattered by it and if we aren't we're *kittens* or whatever the filter here would…

I drank all throughout my 75 pound loss and now into maintenance. Honestly, the toughest part is not making stupid food decisions when you're drunk.

I pack bentos for calorie and portion control, mine today was cherry tomatoes and carrots with dressing, orange segment, blueberries, half a one bar, pickles, and some little smokies. I tend to eat in a snacky way. I often have pinwheel sandwiches, hard boiled eggs, onigiri, cheese cubes, just whatever I feel like

It's not 'bunk' in the way that keto/atkins/any way of eating is not bunk--it helps some people stick to a caloric deficit. But does it have any magic properties beyond that? Nah, it doesn't.

The Oh Yeah One bars are really good and have 1g sugar

it probably depends now much prepackaged stuff you eat, too. I mean, going over my last five days, the prepackaged stuff amounts to: one and a half protein bars 2 tillamoo cheeses an ice cream bar a package of ramen noodles So it's unlikely, eating so few packaged items, that I can really screw myself up too bad, so it's…

Okay, so my take: I went on an 8 day trip a few months ago for my honeymoon. It was an all-inclusive, and I decided I was gonna just do it up right. And I did--I ate and drank everything, dessert every night, jalapeno poppers by the pool, super sedentary. I get back and I had gained *foreboding music* 8 pounds. Except 4…

I weigh things like, oh, lil smokies, where it says 5 links or what have you, but for bars and individual ice creams and such I generally just record it and chill. I lost 75 pounds and am maintaining doing this. That being said, I don't have a step counter or anything, so I'm not eating RIGHT TO THE LINE, you know?

The whole "Calories from fat" thing came in when fat was the STUDIES SHOW!! Booegeyman, so I'm not too terrifically surprised that 'added sugars' is the one now. It's not gonna change my use of the labels, which is pretty much for calories. I do think it's hilarious that the new example suddenly magically gained a bunch of…

I used to binge at night and then I realized it's because I vastly prefer eating at night. So I don't eat breakfast, have a tiny 200-300 cal lunch at 1ish, and eat everything else after 5. Lost 73ish pounds, now in maintenance.

there's no such thing as a no calorie snack, but I LOVE pickles, and you can eat loads of them for very little caloric load. Cucumbers too (obviously, since pickles are made of cucumbers). I like to dip cucumbers in salsa while I'm watching TV.

No, I was thin my whole life, my obesity came as an overcorrection to being clinically underweight after a friend died and it threw me into a massive depression where all I did was drink and run. When I started putting myself back together, I knew I had to gain weight but I didn't go about it the best way. Now I'm at goal…

No, because to me that would be me saying "I am only worthy of my wife's love and commitment if I am thin enough" and I think that's unhealthy emotionally. I weighed 50 pounds more than I do now when we met. 20 pounds more than I do now when we married. I was lovely and radiant and happy at my wedding. I would have been a…

Is the milk that much of a thing? I ask because, for me, I really liked having cookie crisp, but as it turned out, the milk was a very small part of my enjoyment--cutting that out was must easier than changing cereals. Eating 60g of that was only 260 cals and it was really enjoyable.

My next goal is to carve time off my 5k!

Just take a maintenance break if you're tired--I did midway, for like a year.

My highest weight is always Monday morning and my lowest is usually Saturday morning. I bank for the weekends, too, so that's part of it, but yeah this makes perfect sense to me.

Bourbon whiskey with more bourbon whiskey as a mixer

You need to see a doctor. You are below the line for an anorexic BMI, and weight loss should not be a priority.

They used to be amazing, I weep for this land.
