None. I add a splash of cold water to make my keurig coffee immediately drinkable and less bitter.

My lunches are usually gain (quinoa, rice, pasta, edamame pasta) + protein (egg, tofu, fake meat) + veg (broccoli, carrots, cauliflour) + sauce (peanut sauce, garlic butter sauce, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, italian dressing, sweet and sour sauce). I change how I cook things (roasted, baked, marinated, raw), cut things…

Hold up right there. Why are you doing a 48 hour fast?

An alternative that actually works? Eating less. Per the internet:

Did you doctor tell you what diet plan was conclusive to helping with the fatty liver? I'm very surprised by low-carb (unclear if you are actually low carb.. depends on vegetable intake), low fruit. Fruit and whole grains are fantastic sources of fiber, which you want to get plenty of if you have a fatty liver. Fruits are…

I can run every day and gain weight. Exercise is for health, food is for weight loss. Do you log what you eat?

Get a membership to a YMCA/community pool! Youtube has tons of pool exercises, but just power-walking laps is a fannnntastic workout that is not rough on the knees. In my area there are aquatic fitness classes, but you can create your own checklist program. Pick 3-5 "moves" to work on like. "Today I will jog in the pool…

Health issues and fainting? What BMI were you at your thinnest? Did you see a doctor? Why is it your goal again if you had health issues while at that weight?

I lost weight on my last cruise. There was no drinks package, so I ordered wine when I wanted it (vs the colada-calorie bombs). For buffets, I just took very small initial portions. Like, a bite. Then I went back for what I enjoyed the most. Mindless eating / plate finishing is how I gain weight. When we went to the…

Amen. If I burn over 300 calories, I eat back 90-95%. HOWEVER-- I adjust my calories based on how much I know I burned. I don't use MFP exercise numbers. I know my treadmill is more accurate, for example, so if MFP says "you burned 200 calories" and my treadmill says 120 cals, I put in 120 cals and probably eat 110 back.…

I would do build your own spaghetti-bar. Have low-cal options. I have been enjoying edamame pasta, for example. Have regular pasta, an alternative (spaghetti squash, edamame), 2-3 sauces (tomato sauce is lower calorie than alfredo, but people can add what they want), baked chicken shredded/chopped, roasted broccoli and…

31/F/5'11.5 Original starting weight - this go around? 175. Since ever? 215 lbs. June starting weight - 175 June goal - 169 Ultimate goal - 155 1st - 175.0 4th - 174.8 6th - 172.6 11th - 169.6 Looks like I should change my June goal. 4.4 lbs down in 11 days, although some was water weight. New goal--- 167 in June (-8 lbs).

Are you unable to hit 90 degrees with just body weight, or are you already using weights? If you're using weights, cut them out of your squat until you can get full depth.

I use MapMyFitness for cardio but it's not been syncing correctly this week. It's about the same as RunKeeper.

Okay cool, you can absolutely get there in a healthy way. Log your food for a while and that should help. If not, get a food scale and log it even more accurately. As for 'flabby midsection" and post-kid body, you'll want to make sure you're losing fat, not additional muscle. Add in some strengthening (even body weight…

Tastes okay, like a lot of meat-esque burgers. The most realistic non-meat burger is the Impossible Burger.

I was 215 lbs and got down to 142.8 lbs (so, less aggressive than you- 72.2 lbs) exactly 2 years. I was extremely aggressive. I was using MyFitnessPal to log every bite of food for about 90% of my meals. Also-- I'm just shy of 6 ft tall. I'm currently working on shifting 16 lbs and I anticipate it taking 3 months, minimum.…

Good, whole foods mean nothing. Have you tried accurately measuring and logging your food?

If you were still in a calorie deficit or maintenance, any gains are water weight.

You received terrible advice on the first go around. I saw "eat clean" and "Dr Oz" and my brain glazed over. 1. Have you verified that the weight you're aiming for is healthy, per your BMI, measurements and doctor? 2. If it's a good goal, it's all about calories in vs out. If you are not accurately logging your food,…

There are many stickied posts in Getting Started that can help you use the site better. http://fit101.org/the-step-by-step-guide-to-losing-weight-with-myfitnesspal/ is a good one. The short answer is no, it's not normal to eat fewer calories and burn more calories and stay the same weight. Which means you're eating more…

YES exercise calories matter. The reason you eat them back is that the recommended calories is NET. You could be suffering heartburn because you're under-eating. Also--- If you have 75+ lbs to lose 2 lbs/week is ideal, If you have 40-75 lbs to lose 1.5 lbs/week is ideal, If you have 25-40 lbs to lose 1 lbs/week is ideal,…

Why? I can see low-grain vegetarian, low-refined carb vegetarian... but vegetables are carbohydrates.

Are you using a food scale to count calories?

My default eating is like IF. I usually don't eat until 11 am and I'm usually done eating for the night at 4 or 5 pm. That's a 6 hr eating window. The typical IF eating window is 16:8, aka an 8 hr eating window. There's nothing magic about IF. I can gain weight while eating in a 6 hr window. I can lose weight. I still need…

Exercise is nice for health, but not necessarily part of losing weight. Do you log all your food? Do you use a food scale?

Late on board--- just got back on MFP because my weight creeeeeped back up. 31/F/5'11.5 Original starting weight - this go around? 175. Since ever? 215 lbs. June starting weight - 175 June goal - 169 Ultimate goal - 155 1st - 175.0 4th - 174.8 6th - 172.6 Total loss for June -
