Oh my lord. All the red flags in the world.

6 days a week. If I'm not training for anything, that's about 20 miles a week. If I'm marathon training, it'll go over 50 miles a week during training.

This is terrible advice.

This whole thing just makes me sad. For this kid, I mean. Who will grow up and spend her whole life thinking the only thing her mother cares about is that she be slim and pretty. Trust me. I know. I was never heavy, and I still know that the only thing my mother cares about is that I be slim and pretty... and also, that I…

You are clearly not happy.

Whey protein doesn't agree with me either... but there are tons of protein powders from other sources, including egg whites.

like hell, I'm wearing a pop tart.

Food. Eat food. It's not really that complicated.

It's "curbed" your appetite. And I agree with the first poster. Didn't your doctor tell you this?

It was only a matter of time until someone invoked "starvation mode". Sorry I'm not sorry that some folks think I'm not nice enough. I don't really care. I do know I am right. If you eat at a caloric deficit, you will lose weight. There are no special snowflakes. Yes, there are people with medical issues, but they too will…

That's not exactly how the internet works. You can't just dismiss me from an open chat board just because you don't like what I am saying. And frankly, every thing I have posted has been helpful. Try opening your diary. Try answering the questions you've been asked, like are you weighing and measuring everything you put in…

This whole thread is ridiculous. No one is a special snowflake. Eat less than you burn and you will lose weight. Maybe not in a linear and predictable way, but you will not gain 9 pounds from eating too little. That is just nonsense.

What matters is that your calorie intake is lower than your calories burned. You must eat at a caloric deficit to lose weight. So either you are (a) eating more calories than you think, (b) burning fewer calories than you think, or (c) you have a medical anomaly that should be discussed with a physician. edited to add that…

I like protein shakes every now and then... but Shakeology just tastes bad.

Allow me to introduce you to "the Rule of Holes". When you find yourself in a hole, the very first thing you should do? STOP DIGGING.

Me precise thought. Why why why do people always try to eat as little as they possibly can?

It's stuff like this that makes me want to pound a "like" button.

FAT SHAMING!!! /jk

Perhaps you should see a doctor?

EVERYONE has time to exercise. You choose not to. And that's okay. But it's not because you don't have time.

How about if I just disagree with your premise that it's okay to tell people what to do.

The FDA 100% has jurisdiction over nutritional supplements pursuant to the DSHEA Act of 1994. Makers do have to prove both efficacy and potency. Lots of nutritional supplements are neither dangerous nor useless. I am not commenting on diet pills, but on your completely incorrect statements about nutritional supplements.

Just send me your money instead.

Jeez. This is ridiculous. Plenty of people, women AND men, are bitter. Not one response here has been the result of said bitterness. You need to lighten up, Francis.

I love the PB&J flavor and eat one for breakfast most days of the week. I get mine at Vitacost too, because they're cheaper there, and there are often good sales.

Clearly.

I don't think that word means what you think it means.
