If you want more insightful advice, I suggest you share your diary* go to https://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/diary_settings * select 'Public' under Diary Sharing.

It took me a month before I didn't notice losing my breath over prior trivial activities. After 8 months, I notice no after effects. Just keep it steady and allow yourself time to heal.

Starting weight: 304 (1/1) Last week: 298 Current weight: 296 Weekly loss: 2 lbs Total weight lost: 8 lbs This week's successes: Yea, my losing restarted, after a flat week on the scale. Next week's challenges: Need to hit my step goals every day.

If I was shown deficient, I always wanted to try cooking with an Iron Fish, a proven solution in developing countries. https://www.bbc.com/news/health-32749629

I get twice your calories on an active day, so I'm likely to be happy I'm under for the day and mark it up to undercounting. However If I were at 1200 a day, I'd double check I logged everything well, then make sure I ate the calories. I like using a protein bar to simply add 200 calories.

I urge you to open up your food diary, essential when you are asking for people to comment on your macros.

I really like all three separately, but I'm still trying to imagine them together - in the same bowl.

The ultimate boring exercise is swimming laps, something I did for hrs a day in my youth. It wins the grand prize because of the extreme sensory deprivation, no sound or TV to distract.

For me it's logging the calories rather than feeling sick. I don't mind going over for special occasions, but also logging it causes me to to say 'WOW' and reflect on 'was it worth it'. Now I'm more inclined to have better portion control when I'm going for junk food.

It's presented as solid research, which it isn't really. It's a large-scale observational study spun into a book with very black/white conclusions not really supported by the data. The 'study' may raise some good questions for further research, but you can't draw their book conclusions from the data.

Being an island simply helps you restrict travel, something AUS, NZ, Taiwan, etc did to contain the spread. As I recall, the UK felt it was inconvenient. I think the conclusion of last year will be that lock downs without also restricting travel doesn't work.

Does a watered down soup last for two meals instead of just one, that might reduce his salt intake. I expect he thinks the extra water helps flush sodium, a common misconception. Since he really likes the soup, you might have more luck trying to increase his potassium intake.

The apple watch needs to be worn on the wrist, so trying different bands seems to be your best option. I second the suggestion of a metallic/magnetic one. I just put one on my Fitbit and really like the fit.

I hate journalists who don't understand statistics. The writer focused on sensational week over week drops and buried the longer term positive trend Found a chart that shows global new cases. Yea for 2021 showing better data!

I'm learning to love it. Been enjoying cabbage soups for years. Just recently discovered 'cabbage pie' which has turned it into a breakfast option, it reminds me of hashbrowns. https://youtu.be/UP9CjIHBXYk

The value of lock downs without also closing your borders is questionable Do lockdowns really make a difference? How two US states with totally opposite COVID strategies both ended up with the same result

Tracie, after researching your post, this is the only thing that comes to mind. https://youtu.be/mBcY3W5WgNU

Right you are. Here is a link to the preprint on the new research https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3771318

Starting weight: 304 (1/1) Last week: 298 Current weight: 298 Weekly loss: 0 lbs Total weight lost: 6 lbs This week's successes: Nothing to brag about. The snow storm in the PNW really threw me off. I was stuck at work and eating fast food again, with minimal steps. I think I should have lost some, but increased salt added…

Some significant research was just released supporting Vit D in reducing risk of ICU and mortality. Youtube discussion: https://youtu.be/oYK9-zvJF_k Research: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32871238/

nope, you can't produce affordable food on those random acres of abandoned land. It's a big commitment to raise farm animals and if they are cutting the hay, it is likely sold as feed. I certainly agree 'people' should eat fewer calories and waste less, but most of those excess calories are coming from processed carbs not…

It’s rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which has many supposed health benefits

I take Fish Oil, Vit D, and a basic multi-vitamin. Added D with the covid quarantine. I plan to start using protein powder in the near future.

I think it works more like a sugar pill than a legit treatment. I've seem some research indicating increased weight loss. They claimed it caused increased 'fullness' with high carb meals. Most of the other health benefits seem to be attributed to the cloudy bits in the raw/unfiltered product. Many supportive research…

yea, there is a wide variation in anti-bodies. I was donating plasma for covid therapy regularly up to 7 months after I recovered. But they haven't called lately, so I expect my anti-bodies finally dropped. My sister who also recovered never had enough to qualify for donations.

I too have had two this week. I remain puzzled at their angle, can't imagine how they hope to monetize MFP friends.

We should also not dismiss everything that's against the mainstream view. I'm sure at one point there were 'thalidomide conspiracy nuts' being dismissed because of what they said. As with any claim or news source, evaluate the argument and look for evidence.

I read they are best used for mild COVID cases? Are doctors prescribing any treatments for mild cases now? Months back when I had it, I was just told to stay home and isolate, no additional advice given.

I suspect you are burning more calories from increased exercise. Also, your TDEE would increase if your muscle mass is increasing. It would be natural to increase your exercise calorie burn as you continue training.

Goal weight:<250 (end of 2021) Starting weight: 304 (1/1) Last week: 300 Current weight: 298 Weekly loss: 2 lbs Total weight lost: 6 lbs This week's successes: Still tracking and hitting my daily calorie goals, also increasing my steps Next week's challenges: Hit my increased daily step goal
