A recent paper suggested that interval training is better for cellular change, which may correlate with better results. I do HIIT and results are easy quicker than slogging on the elliptical for an hour.

Losing weight slow or fast doesn't affect your long term success. You seem to be yo-yo dieting. This is a lifestyle change, not just a diet. If you lose the weight and go right back to what you were doing before, the pounds will pack on again.

I was on Depo for several years and gained almost 50 lbs. I thought it was just because I was eating far too much, which I was, but when I tried it again a few years later, I found that I was super hungry all the time and craved sweets. The second time I was actively on MFP maintaining and I gained 15 lbs back in 3 months…

The food scale is obviously a big one as everyone has mentioned. Another idea is to try and see if these are normal fluctuations by logging your weight into an app like Happy Scale. It will let you know whether or not you are on the right track. Hope this helps!

So it seems like no one has really answered your question. Cells cannot be "restarted" based on diet. Stem cells will "activate" and produce new cells when you need them, but this is not based on diet. Other cells cannot divide and will live their normal life span. You mention something about blood cells. There are…

That makes more sense! Thanks!

I'm set at 25 grams.

Reflux, Food intolerance, celiac disease, carcinoid tumors and gallstones can make you feel this way. Any increased thirst? Any family history of diabetes? Also, how much are you eating at once? Are you eating a lot at once?

I just did 1 hour of cardio and then went to bed within 10 minutes. Figured it was better to work out late than never! I've actually never fallen asleep faster!

I'm not entirely sure what your concern is. Is it that you aren't losing enough weight? If so, you may not be measuring things accurately. And you eat out a lot according to your diary, so the calories that you are inputting may be way off, since the calorie reporting doesn't have to be accurate at all. Another thing that…

I would highly discourage you from attempting what this man did for several reasons. I saw the movie and while he did lose all that weight in 2 months, his friends make it a point to say in the movie that he has always been on a weight roller-coaster. Its very tempting to do this, but its also very difficult to do without…

As a physician, I've seen a lot of things that go wrong with these patients. That said, I've also seen a lot of people who do well. There are many options, from the traditional Roux-en-Y to the more temporary Lap-Band to the hot new gastric sleeve. Some the initial questions you should consider are: how much weight do you…

Her physician is a bariatrician, or a physician specialized in medical (as opposed to surgical) weight loss. As a physician, I agree with you, I don't know much about nutrition. However, in this case, the doctor has information that we do not have and I would try to stick to what she says, as this drastic diet may be…

Montreal!

My BMR is calculated at ~ 1600 because I'm tall. Furthermore, I have a fairly large muscle mass. However, I must be one of those weird people that has a very low metabolism, because if I eat more than 1400/day while exercising 5-6 times a week, I gain weight. So I don't think the BMR calculator is very accurate... Now, I'm…
