I log/plan the next day sometimes. Frees up some time that next day and also minimizes the chance of impulse snacking when everything's already set up.

What? Where am I? Must have taken a wrong turn. Anyway feel free to add me! I'll show myself out now.

Every day, science strides proudly forward, giving long awaited answers to important questions like these. How is the layout of our solar system? How does evolution work? How do we perceive farts? On a related note, this is my new favorite interwebsite: http://examine.com Although I don't think it has the answer to above…

Overthinking can be dangerous. I waste so much time on that. I did two weeks lowcarb (keto) so far in February but I just missed rice, potatoes and the lesser consequence of an occasional "cheat" too much so now I eat carbs again. The important part however is I still counts my calories and I except to keep dropping fat.…

I'll second what snowbike said. It is very unlikely you will see a 2 pound weight loss the first week, if any at all. For the reasons he mentioned. If you're going to make it a one week experiment, forget about the scale completely, it will likely disappoint you. You will need to replace the calories you got from fat…

If that's true, all it tells me is that peanut butter must be really healthy.

Trying something for a week and seeing how it works for you sounds like a good idea, but don't expect miracles from going from one restricted nutrient to another. I think a lot of people fall into the trap of the "pre-made diet" mindset. Your point 3 is right, energy in/energy out is the main goal for weight loss. All…

No, it's not a good article. I'm afraid It's not written to help anyone, it's written to generate clicks and sell ad space, no more, no less! Especially the points about breakfast and meal skipping are just wrong and I cannot grasp how spreading those myths still happens. edit: on that note, I'm glad you just copied it…

Request processed and approved.

Not sure if it's what you meant, but I'm definitely interested in the science behind nutrition and fitness. I'm very much a rookie, though. I just started two weeks ago and suddenly got very excited about learning what exactly is happening in my body in regards to metabolism, digestion and exercise. Partly because I want…

Her er det liv ja! Bare å adde meg den som vil. Kar på 25 år / 188cm, 100.8kg på dagens måling, startet på 106kg for to uker siden. De første ~3-4 kg var vanntap, ikke muskelmasse eller fett så der er det ikke noe magisk! Jeg startet et halvstrengt lavkarbo-kosthold den 4. feb og det har gått veldig greit så langt. Jeg har…

Yep, calorie dense is the important word here! Drop your "lean meats" (if that means low-fat), they are just more expensive because more cutting works has been made. Don't be afraid of fat. Fat has 9kcal/gram while carbs and protein have 4kcal/gram. Try upping your daily fat % macronutrient. Nuts are a good suggestion as…

Yes, as long as you input less energy (kcal) than you spend, the body will take energy from its stores and spend that instead -> losing weight. That's thermodynamics and there are not many ways around it. But it's not irrelevant what your fill your daily quota with. Not enough protein and some of the weight you lose will…

I'm on at least daily. Feel free to add me.

Rock that bikini with confidence, because you look great. Really. -Guy.

We're not too different, then. I am 25y old, 188cm (6'2") and I was about 112kg a year ago (almost 250lbs) and I dropped to about 102kg (225lbs) during three months of heavy weight lifting (Stronglifts 5x5) combined with disciplined eating, but no calorie counting. That was March to June last year. I just replaced a lot of…

My diary is open for friends and feel free to add me. I can not promise non-scandinavians will understand all the items, but just ask if you're curious. I'm rocking a 65/30/5 (% fat/protein/carb) low carb diet for at least the first few weeks to kickstart my new attitude on eating and nutrition.
