I had that exact dilemma in my mid 20’s. A young hot guy and his wealthy boss were both hitting on me at an event. I danced with both of them. The boss was older too. I really liked the younger guy and had more in common with him because of age but also really attracted physically. I’m glad I picked him, we had a…

I’m not sure if we’re in the same situation, probably not, but lately I literally forget to eat. There were days I think that all I’d eat was some air popped popcorn and maybe an apple. Then I started tracking to make sure I am eating enough to get enough nutrients. I’m using another app (MyNetDiary pro) that tracks…

I just add a little cayenne, black pepper, turmeric, and ginger, mash it up and add a little almond milk to moisten it.

I don’t eat actual meals unless I eat out but snack throughout the day on mostly things like non-fat Greek yogurt, almonds, cashews, eggs, figs, dried mango, frozen mango, frozen berries & blueberries, bananas, apples, oranges, cantaloupe, watermelon, carrots with spicy hummus dip, broccoli with guacamole, edamame, snap…

The Sims & Sim City. But I’m not really a gamer. Those were actually the only two I played on the PC. But I’m massively into VR! I’m in VR every day doing something, lots of workout games especially but also social VR and watching movies on huge virtual movie screens.

I play on the Quest2 and do all my workouts in VR!

I’m not into PC games (except back in the day, the Sims & Sim City) but I’m really into VR, especially fitness games. Audio Trip, Synth Riders, and Fit XR. Also Dance Central & Creed. And more on the PC that require the s link to the Quest 2. I have a bunch of other games but enjoy the fitness ones the best.

I do all my exercise pretty much in VR. On the Quest 2 there’s the Move app that counts calories but it has very different results than the YUR watch that also does. And some apps have their own calorie counting that is different from both so it’s very confusing which is the right amount! I play Audio Trip, Synth Rider,…

5’8 CW 124 Goal weight 115 Feb GW 122 I had gained weight and was up to 134 lbs and then because of the pandemic, without even trying lost 10 lbs because of no social life, no eating out, and no alcohol because I live alone and don’t drink alone. I occasionally drink on Zoom social calls and social VR but maybe only one…

The other issue I have with the gym is the driving and parking. It’s not that far away but traffic is always bad getting there. Driving both ways and parking is an extra hour out of the day. And I swear every bodyguard and bouncer goes there! All huge bulky men grunting like they’re about to have an orgasm. Sometimes I…

I usually eat nuts, cashews, almonds and an omega trail mix from Trader Joe’s, also chia seeds and flax seed meal that add healthy calories but I’m out of them, have to go food shopping. It drives me crazy though when MFP chastises and punishes me whenever I go under the amount of calories they suggest or tells me my goal…

Gyms are still closed here and I think it will be a while before they reopen. I never really went when they were open because my gym is mostly very muscular men who grunt and sweat a lot and I have to drastically change weights each time I get on a machine and not sure how to even really use them all lol,

Actually junk food does make you fat. All the salt, sugar and chemicals makes you crave more salt and sugar so you eat more junk food full of empty calories and chemicals. And healthy nutritional foods are used by the body as fuel while junk food just clogs arteries, is stored as fat, gives you high cholesterol, is…

I know for me if I focus too much on losing weight, it can easily lead to a temporary eating disorder. BUT if I focus on health and nutrition and eating FOR health, it’s so much better. It also depends on someone’s original weight. If someone is dangerously overweight then weight loss is absolutely necessary. But losing…

Here in California it’s a mandate to wear a mask and I’m glad! In the City of West Hollywood they are now fining people for not wearing a mask and I’m glad! All indoor dining in restaurants is closed but they allow outdoor dining with tables 6 feet apart where mask wearing is not mandated but even then I wear a face shield…

I didn’t mean to say don’t eat protein or healthy fats. I just meant that after you ate the right amount of protein and all necessary nutrients and you’re still hungry, you can fill up on fruits and veggies and they are also full of fiber and antioxidants and micronutrients so win/win. I personally don’t have a very big…

You can’t really eat “anything you want” within the boundaries you mention and be as healthy as you could be. There is hidden extra nutrition in so many common “superfoods.” Eating 100 calories of a hamburger bun and a multi-vitamin vs 100 calories of blueberries is a very different thing. Blueberries, one of the…

Both. Raw for salads or sometimes I cook 1/2 bag of Trader Joes organic frozen spinach, add a little Parmesan and garlic and make a little meal of it. I love spinach! :)

Also, yes, protein powder is good, I get Orgain organic with superfoods. Make sure you take vitamins. Collagen supplements are also good, high in protein and help skin, hair and nails. I eat very low calories too but everything I eat is PACKED with nutrients. When you eat super low calories, you can’t waste it on anything…

I actually AM extremely lazy and get very little exercise. I also have asthma. When watching TV, I at least try to do leg lifts or just move my legs around and have light weights for my arms also while watching TV. Lift your knees to your chest while in bed, one, then the other. Stretch every muscle! You can also do little…

I guess you’re right. The mentality of wanting to put food you know is unhealthy into your body is foreign to me as is smoking cigarettes. I think there are other psychological reasons behind it. It’s not really about food but something else deeper. Filling a hole, a sense of comfort, relief from stress, using it as a main…

Doing 3-5 day water only fasts. Did absolutely nothing! EXCEPT it did make my stomach “shrink” so I was eating less after that and was extremely mindful of what I ate, eating ONLY super nutritious foods. But now I realize I can just stick to low cal super nutritious foods without a 5 day fast! I’m shocked that you put…

How is a shake a “fast”? It’s just blended fruit. If you normally eat a lot of junk, I suppose it could be considered a detox. I often live on “shakes” made from scratch with frozen fruit, veggies, organic protein powder, flaxseed meal, chia seeds, sunflower seeds, non-fat yogurt, sugar-free almond milk, then put it all in…

I know people are saying don’t mix fruit juice with alcohol to get less calories, but in fact a small amount of 100% fruit juice (no sugar added) is actually much healthier than something like a Diet Coke mixer. If you think NUTRITION rather than calories, you should be OK. No empty carbs, if you get shrimp, great, but NOT…

Wow, looking at the pics here of food actually makes me nauseous! I don’t like or eat what’s in most of the photos, but although frozen yogurt and granola are technically not unhealthy when eaten in moderation, I can go way overboard! I’ve eaten an entire box of granola like popcorn out of the box and a half gallon of…

Fruits & veggies! You can eat a ton of certain fruits and veggies for very few calories! You can eat a whole bag of frozen organic spinach from Trader Joe’s for 140 calories! I can only eat half a bag, it’s so big, and add a tablespoon of grated or Parmesan cheese and it’s a full meal! Melon, especially watermelon has very…

Also for temporary relief, try some bread or crackers. For me, it almost feels like there’s some substance causing all the gas and soaking it up like a sponge can help. Ginger can also help. But definitely contact your doctor! Three months is too long! Also see if you can get tested for Covid antibodies.

Weird, I’ve had something really similar to that for a bit over a month. I’m not exactly burping with a burp noise but exhaling or quietly releasing huge bursts of air with no sound and I also get random hiccups but not fits of hiccups, just one then maybe 3 hours later another one. Sometimes I feel like I just ate a huge…

Thanks, I finally figured it out. Sometimes I know the exact calories I ate so I slide the percentage servings up or down until they match the actual calories.
