What does the lemon water do??

I eat around 1200-1400 most days and I do not snack, because I am on a low carb diet. IMO that is the key. You wanna be hungry all the time? Keep eating all that bread/pasta/sugar. The only time I am hungry is near my period. I won't be gaining weight back because this is a lifestyle change. I will *never* eat bread again,…

Depends on what you're eating. When I ate a bunch of carbs/sugar during the day, I would be STARVING in the morning. But I'm on a keto diet now and do intermittent fasting. I don't even think about eating until 10am. After breakfast, I don't pig out because there are no carbs making me crave more carbs.

This last time, I've gained about 40 pounds since October because a lot of things in my life went south. I wasn't eating enough, I wasn't sleeping, I was VERY stressed, and at night I'd treat myself to ice cream--I couldn't afford to run away from my life, but at least I could look forward to that one solitary treat in my…

A few years ago, dropping gluten worked really well for me. I'm still gluten-free, but the belly fat is worse than it's ever been for a number of other reasons. What I've heard works is HIIT training, weight training, core workouts/tightening up the abs... I hope others have some input, I carry so much of my fat in my…

It really doesn't matter why she changed her mind, but your bf should have an idea--he lives with her and he's known her for 19 years. My guess is that he knows what happened but isn't telling you/is being a clueless guy about it. There is nothing you can do--she's not your mom, he isn't your husband. You can only hope…

"a bit" of frustration lol, I am full out angry about it lol. Even when I was 130 my stomach used to bulge out. I always wondered why women fatter than me could rock a bikini but my proportions were all wrong and I had preggo tummy. High fat/low carb may work....I'm still too overweight to really tell.

Don't you guys get stubble on your face though? That's the only reason I don't shave my face. I really don't want a boyfriend touching me and getting that rough stubble man feel, gross :( I've only ever shaved my chin though, and that was a stubbly mess even after one day. Too poor to get laser so I do the poor man's…

How much should I be aiming for? I don't always trust the bottles after what I learned about Vitamin D. I seem to find conflicting info about how much magnesium and how much potassium are necessary. I have no problem with salt, lol.

I never used to eat more than like 8,900 cals. But nuts and butter bump it up really easily. Like someone said, two tablespoons of butter on your food gets you 200 more cals. I just ate a tiny packet of almonds and that's 340 cals. You don't have to eat more chicken or a whole other meal. And, people really need to educate…

I have to struggle to get to 1200 calories these days, so I understand where you're coming from. I don't understand why people think everyone is lying just because everyone's bodies don't behave like theirs do.

That might be where you are *today*, but you can change that. I'm obese here as well--have the opposite problem. *No one* admits that I am obese. They think it's a joke, bother me about not eating and say I'm just "thick". Meanwhile the scale says I'm fat, the caliper says I'm fat, body charts say I'm fat and when I look…

I don't know anyone who can run for two hours every day on a 600 cal diet, but I would love to lose 30 pounds in a month, not gonna lie. Won't drop to 600 cals though. Do you have loose skin with that kind of rapid loss?

Be careful with Paleo---if you are low carb, your body may start turning excess proteins into glucose via gluconeogenesis. If you're like me, you'll be even fatter than when you started....although to be honest I wasn't watching my calories either, since I thought that I could be like all those Paleo warriors who eat all…

I have it and hate it. I have all the symptoms except, like you, my periods were never particularly heavier/more painful than other folks... until I hit my 30s. BUT--keeping my weight in check helps A LOT. My periods are more regular when I eat what I'm supposed to, exercise and keep my weight down. Whenever I let things…

It's different for everyone. I have PCOS and a family history of diabetes, and "counting cals" did *nothing* for me. I was just frustrated and hungry all the time. Every time I do a low carb diet my energy levels are sky high, I have no cravings and I lose weight. *Every* time. When I start adding fruit juice, pasta....all…

Bottom line: You need to pay attention to the qualities of the men you choose. The only constant in your relationships is you. I'm not saying it is your fault. I am saying you might be picking the wrong men. You have obviously picked cheaters who like rude, ridiculous women the last two times. Maybe think about why that…

For me, bloaty face happens because of dairy foods. I still eat cheese, butter and yogurt--but I know that's why my cheeks are chubbier than I'd like.

You're right. Men never look at anyone. Silly women, just making up things!

Totally agree. I wear v-necks because they don't make me look top-heavy/tugboat-ish---in my opinion. And since I'm buying my clothes, no one else should have a say in the matter. I have heard sooooo many comments about how I'm "showing them off" and considering what a prude I am, I find it laughable. I take great pains to…

Staring is exceedingly rude. Casting a glance or whatever is fine, but I am not losing weight/working on my body to be ogled by strange men I don't find attractive. To be honest, I'm at a loss to even understand how it would be seen as a compliment. In my experience men stare at everything. I don't know why men insist that…

Can someone please explain how protein is 1g per 1kg even if you are trying to lose weight? Let's say I'm at 80kg and want to drop to 70kg. Would I really need to eat 80g of protein??
