It could be initial loss, but one thing you said concerns me, "The whey I think has really helped me stay full (I am new to using whey) but this plan has kept me around 1400-1600 calories per day minus whatever I burn running for my net calorie intake." Are you eating back your exercise calories? If you're consuming only…

It's Day 6 of the No Sugar Challenge! If you've kept a diary on MFP, you can calculate the % of calories from the (hopefully natural sugar) you've eaten. To calculate the % cals from sugar for a day (or a meal), multiply total sugar grams x 4, divide by the total calories per day, & multiply by 100. How'd you do? Here's…

Shelly, I knew you might think I was a pain in the *kitten*, but it's the only way I knew how to be supportive. I think what you're doing is really brave and intelligent, and I want to be here for you. It's only one week that we'll do this on myfitnesspal, and as you can see, a LOT of people on here are tackling or have…

Nubygloom, We're all accountable to ourselves, and each of us has different requirements. And the more I learn, the more I realize that it's the "added sugars" that are bad. For this challenge, fruits are allowed, and honey is allowed. Some may allow themselves artificial sweeteners (no problem with stevia, for example),…

Mikey, Your thoughts on added sugar in products go me searching the net for a good source of information. I found a very long .pdf put out by the govt. with product numbers and the amount of added sugar, but I found it too complex for most of us. Thankfully, I just found another document that's informative but meant for…

Anne, Thanks for your input. A friend of mine inspired me to do this challenge, and her health needs require that she abstain from sugar substitutes as well. She is okay with fructose. Most of us will have different requirements, and some are joining just to give a particular friend support, so most are abstaining only…

On Truvia / Stevia in Coffee A while ago, I joined myfitnesspal to lose some weight, and I started watching where my calories come from. I was amazed by how many calories milk has, which was a problem because I was drinking 2-3 lattes a day (3+ cups of 2% milk). Obviously, I had to cut down some milk calories, so I started…

To reply to both of you, first, I apologize for not clarifying here in this thread the details of the challenge. I didn't expect so much interest, but I'm thrilled to see people getting motivated to join this challenge. Okay, Fruits are allowed! We're going sucrose free. So processed foods like cereals, candies, cookies,…

In response to July24Lioness' article by Elizabeth Walling of Natural News . . . Thank you for this excellent article on healthy eating. This thread may be old, but it came at a good time. My trainer today told me my average of 40-70 fat grams per day was "waaaaay too much," and that "the body doesn't need fat to survive."…
