2 pounds a week is pretty unrealistic unless you are very overweight. If you have only 20 pounds left to lose then it will be hard to lose them that fast, especially by working out only 2 times a week. If you wanna do that then I would suggest to work out 6 days a week for at least 1 hour. And stick to 1200 total calories,…

Are you implying that I'm a potato?

One of my friends does this with her cats. She has 6 cats. The Facebook page is named at her real name but profile picture and all the other pictures are of cats. It's pretty weird.

Sounds to me that you not get enough "alone time" in your life. Everybody has right for some. I'm getting mine from work.

All my family people are overweight and unhealthy and does not wanna do anything about it. If they would I could add them, I don't mind. I honestly don't get why people mind. Are you afraid that your husband might see something he does not like, like you flirting with other guys on your wall or something?

Are you freakin' serial?

I do IF. I fast for 20 - 23h, so I ate between one and two meals a day. Simply cos it's convenient for me and gives me more energy all day that way. I did originally tried IF for weight loss at first but honestly I did not lost a single pound more fat that if I were when just doing 6 meals a day thing in generic calorie…

I would write as OP did... Oh damn! I guess that means I am a girl?! OMG! Holy crap! Thank you for enlightening me! It turns out I've been living in lie all my life!

I ate mostly raw, not all but mostly. Raw fruits, veggies, nuts, etc. I get most of my daily calories from salads with oils in them and nuts and seeds. About 70 to 80% or so. I don't really consider myself a raw vegan cos it's not 100% and I don't do it for the sake of eating raw in first place. I just do it cos that's the…

Yep... in high school, not in that kind of setting tho. Bullies gonna bull if you let them. Yes, the guy is an *kitten* but it's your fault non the less that you just let him talk like that to yourself and not do anything about it. Report him to your gym at least.

Trolls will eat anything. It could be metal, wood, Twinkies, rocks, you name it. They stomach contains powerful digestive acids. This is a reason why troll has to eat constantly cos otherwise he will digest himself and die. So he cant bother to count macros, he does not have time for that, he will eat anything. Trolls have…

If you don't have access to heavy weights the the best thing to do is to go till failure. That might take 20, 30 or more reps per set, depending how strong you are. But you won't build much muscle and tone with light weights unless you got till failure every set, that's the most optimal way. I would say 3 to 4 sets till…

Well first of all eating 5 times a day is not a must. If a program is saying it is a must then I would suggest you to go and find a program that is less outdated and is up to date with latest nutrition and exercise science. What matters is macros and calories. You can take them in 5 meals or in one meal. Of course 5 meals…

If you can't lift heavy it will be harder to build muscle and you won't be able to build as much of it. You should do a lot of reps and a lot of sets. All sets to failure, that's the most optimal way how to build muscle with light weights - going to failure in every set. Also you will need more sets. For example if by…

Don't know if science or bro-science, doesn't matter either. Just sharing what works for me amazingly. Will it work for her 100% or at all I don't know since every body is different. But don't bash it before you've actually tried it or deeply researched data of other people who did it. I thought this is nonsense too before…

Go like 300 - 500 cals ABOVE maintenance one or two days a week. That will speed your metabolism more than eating small meals after couple hours, which practically does nothing. This is how I lose weight now. Not by going into deficit but by eating 1000 cals above my maintenance two days a week. Since your maintenance is…

Do not try to make up for binge day by decreasing your calories drastically next day. It is not good habit. That kind of stuff causes eating disorders and if not that then it will make you at least feel like complete crap. Don't torture yourself. Not worth it. You pigged out yesterday don't need to make up for it just…

It's normal. Unusual range of motion can do this. It's like cracking your fingers to make those "click, click" sounds what some people does on purpose. It's completely harmful. If it does not hurt and does not crate discomfort I would say it's fine.

Because people like to over-complicate things, that's really the nature... Anyways, 5'2 and 120? I don't even think you should be losing now. Go 10 - 20% above maintenance cals and lift heavy to build muscle. At this point losing any more fat will not make you look any better. Getting toned will tho. And that will most…

You are making wrong connections here, switching to healthy eating can not make sick. Just because it happens that they both started at same time does not mean that they are related. Most likely some kind of virus or something. Of course unless you are not eating enough calories and are in too big deficit, that can make…

9 PM to 6 PM. Might be a hour sooner or earlier, depends. But usually I start eating at around 6PM and at 9 PM im done.

I am doing it. Fasting for around 20 hours for long time now. Haven't noticed any faster fat loss than if I would just be in generic calorie deficit. Personally I think it's nonsense. But my energy levels have increased and my workouts are better when I'm fasted. So that's the reason why I stuck to it. Also there are…

If you feel rested and have a lot of energy then I would say it's fine. 7 - 9 hours suggestion is just an average calculation not a rule. Some people needs less and some needs even more than 9, it depends. The major factor in weight gain/loss is eating and calories. Second important is exercising and activity level. Sleep…

If somebody calls you fat and you are not fat (You clearly are not fat, at least if your profile picture is YOU. You do realize it, right?) then they are doing it for two reasons - as a joke or insult. So you either react it like you did for a joke or insult depending how it was meant. In this case it was clearly a joke,…

Dude thought you are hot. Apart from popular stereotype pimps does not hit on everything what moves... just the hot stuff. Why not accept a compliment? You will feel like crap if you will focus on crap. It's totally your fault that you feel bad, not his, you choose it by focusing on wrong things. It's so easy to turn…

Nonsense. All it does is depletes you from stored glycogen and water so you look smaller and weight less but it's an illusion, it won't burn more fat than a normal calorie deficit would. Only reason it might work is to keep you more full cos you ate more protein so you might not overeat or eat less. But that's all. Also,…

Fat burning happens when you are in calorie deficit, what kind of workout you do does not matter. Exercises are a good way how to increase deficit so you would burn more fat. But exercise itself does not burn any fat, it burns glycogen. Of course unless you are ketogenic and ate zero carbs, in which case it's about total…

Yes I'm on ketogenic vegan-ish diet. I ate eggs tho and I sometimes ate some low fat cheese. No any kinds of meat tho. And I don't want to get most of my fat from dairy cos I wanna stay below 30 grams of saturated fat a day cos of health reasons. Majority of my calories comes from fat, I would say 75% or something. And I…

I think the whole idea about making foods a moral or immoral thing is retarded. Food is about body not morality and it should stay like that. I do not consume many things for moral reasons, such as cow milk from big factories cos they pretty much torture cows there. But at same time I have no problem with drinking milk…

If I would had to die I imagine I would feel quite stressed. I can not get food down in my stomach when I'm stressed. As opposed to emotional eaters I'm pretty much an emotional starver. I would probably order a few bottles of whiskey or something like that tho. :/
