I have both lost and gained weight while on mental health medications. No matter what meds you are on it all comes down to taking in fewer calories than you are burning. One of my meds increased my appetite for a while, a different one made me retain a lot more water. But in the end its all CICO. Part of why I gained…

ON gold mocha cappuccino

Pelvic floor weakness is super common among women...particularly if you had children. There is physio that can help with that

mushrooms. cause they make me puke. but this conversation is very odd. eat what you enjoy in moderation. I get cranky if I say anything is off limits

As someone who has suffered from chronic depression and generalized anxiety disorder for around 10 years and PTSD (untreated and undiagnosed till last year) for 8 years I can tell you it is possible to gain and lose weight the same way as everyone else. CICO is the law. The mental health conditions can make it harder to…

ALl of the local Ys are more expensive than my gym. So thats a no go

Optimum Nutrition mocha cappuchino. amazing in hot chocolate or coffee :smiley:

Just so you are aware - Lustig is considered a quack by almost all actual scientists and doctors.... Just so you know who you are citing

Pesto and shrimp. My go to

it makes you pee. like all water

Squatting will definitely strengthen your muscles but to actually build muscles you need to be in a calorie surplus.

squeaky is the only word that comes to mind

coffee with cream and sugar. nothing unhealthy about that. I do coffee with milk and sugar or equal depending on my mood.

none. just eat a calorie deficit

Sugar is sugar. Its all the same to your body.

Did you really just say Fruit has no sugar??? .... :|

I am on several mental health medications and I have noticed that as I get better my appetite increases. This caused me to gain weight simply because I was eating more. I also began to enjoy going out with friends and other social events that involve food. As I had not eaten that much over the years I suffered, I gained…

I highly recommend strong lifts 5x5 its fun

what ever you prefer taste wise. I like becel cause it spreads better on bread.

Mercola is a quack. he is the only doctor in the known universe who recommends (and even sells) tanning beds. I would find better information if I were you

Juicing is just another way of eating your calories. There is nothing intrinsically magical about juice. I prefer to chew my calories but to each their own. So if you prefer drinking it then fine, but this idea that juice will somehow make someone lower their weight is fundamentally flawed Also you will pee more but thats…

I have GAD as well. I use VEGA pre workout. Its a pretty smooth and mild boost. I work out at night and it gives me enough to push hard but doesn't keep me up or increase my anxiety

No worries! All you need to replenish is water lost. They can be dehydrating

you don't. saunas feel nice but the calorie burn is not at all significant or relevant.

Pelvic floor physio can help with that

Treadmills create momentum. When you run outside you don't have that extra momentum. A way to help balance that is to increase the incline on the treadmill to mimic outside. Usually 1.0 is recommended at a minimum.

Unfortunately you cannot spot reduce. Calorie deficit will lower body fat overall. The location of that body fat is genetics

gift cards to gym clothing stores and a super sweet blender ball power pack. epic epic stuff. Also all teh coffee in the world

Also if selsum blue extra strength isnt working head and shoulders clinical strength has worked for my seborrea issues. Can be used the same way selsum blue extra strength can as body wash

Ah the candida diet. Its been a while since Ive heard that one! I bought a workbook on anxiety (to work on my generalized anxiety disorder and PTSD) and the book is great but I literally ripped out the section on "medical conditions that can cause anxiety" because Candida taking over your body was one of them. Also adrenal…
