You must have a different interpretation of the term "meal plans" When I read that someone wants a meal plan, I interpret that as they want a set eating plan ie Mon breakfast; eat x quantity of xyz, lunch abc, Dinner xyz etc Tues eat blah blah and so on for a week or fortnight and then they buy the food/ingredients and do…

No, logiconspey that is not the answer nor is it answering OP's question - it is flogging your own soap box. whilst I accept that our food intake patterns are at least partly cultural habits - there is no need for OP to skip lunch nor did she ask advice about doing that. OP is an adult and is used to the western 3 meals a…

isnt a loch just a lake, but one in Scotland? Arent billabongs in fact oxbow lakes? Didnt google tell me that? who has heard the term oxbow lake? Shall I suggest almost nobody i n Australia - since we call them billabongs? ;)

I am.

Since Northern Australia is in a tropical zone, isn't freezing of billabongs most unlikely? Will you start using the word billabong and if you do, will your friends know what you are talking about?

No it is not heccesary to give up all processed foods nor all foods with any high fructose corn syrup. It is neccesary to be in a calorie deficit and,, if using MFP, to account as accurately as possible for all foods you eat ( yes I know there are people, me included, who did not account very accurately- but if one is…

is this the bee holder? :p B)

in my case - No. I lost weight without doing IF nor tracking how much water I drank

Isn't Australia a huge country - so wouldn't the answer to that depend on which part you are talking about?

I think it is much socially easier when eating out with a larger budget , not because as a smaller person, of trying to keep up with larger persons intake but because servings tend to come in one size and it is usually more than I need to eat. Buffets are easier - just serve myself less - but table service meals are hard -…

have you not heard of the Australian snow man?

Teejay, I'm not following what you are saying. Increasing CO - ie doing more excercise/activity - IS in the 'losing weight part of it' Sure, you can lose weight without excercising, it isnt required - but that doesn't mean excercising/increasing activity isnt part of the deal for most people or that the CO part of the…

Sure, you can't exceed the pre programmed dose in one injection - but nothing to stop someone giving a second injection. If they misunderstood the instructions Also someone could be given a pen with a higher recomended dose than one usually starts on (not ideal but due to supply issues, sometimes done) - and was suppossed…

yes, CICO so I would say activity level - ie CO - is more significant than 9% I'm not sure about 'out training a bad diet' - but you can increase your activity/exercise level and therefore be able to also eat more than if you had not done so.

Since it never snows where I live, wouldn't my answer have to be No?

I think this would be better worded as '" ideally you should keep sweets to within an overall nutritious and calorie appropriate diet."

No, long-running I would still feel same about "Challenge is my friend". Although I agree that wording isn't as strident as in OP. Because, sure, it is good to challenge yourself if you want to - but nothing wrong with doing something comfortably either without wanting to always be stretching and challenging further. If…

Come to Australia, we would welcome you!

No I don't agree - I see nothing wrong with comfort Nothing wrong with doing things regularly and consistently - just because you are in your comfort zone walking the dog for 20 minutes or doing a regular 5 km run, doesn't mean it isn't doing you any good.

Not in all countries.

Like what is worn under the kilt? Isn't the answer nothing, it's all in good working order?

Tough audience.

Or could he be an AI creation? Isn't it hard to tell what is real nowadays?

Don't we get a bit pedantic here?

Can I go back to plaid suit man photo? Doesn't he look a bit poncy?

do we ever answer any question?? is that even possible when all we post are questions?

Next is the year of the snake.

year of Dragon ending soon

Welcome New Year!

^^ what sneaky trickery is that??
