I'm a qualified nutritionist. If you want to continue putting yourself at risk then it's up to you to sort out your priorities. You have the facts in front of you, continuing in this manner will put your long term health at risk, and your dancing will certainly suffer. IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A HEALTHY BODY & a healthy…

Look you are clearly ignoring the risks here. Whatever, no-one here is going to tell you what you want to hear. You need to eat more, you are putting yourself and your dancing career at risk.

I love keto. I've lost over 100lbs total, more to go. I lost at least 30lbs on keto.
-
Just all wrong, completely wrong. Weight standards are standard for human beings. Ballerinas are underweight if they become underweight, just like everyone else - you have a body that has a level of health that is put at risk if you are under a certain weight.
-
Girl if you are being forced to lose weight then you need to leave, I don't care if they are the most amazing dance studio in the universe that is abuse, if you really seem like a minor here, this kind of behavior will lead to a very poor relationship with food. BTW, the threshold for being underweight isn't dependent on…

Decathalon do amazing workout gear for all sorts of activities.

I used to use sparkpeople, lost 70lbs with them - there's a good community there, but I found that MFP tools were much simpler to use & here we are. There is a recipe builder here also.
-
I weigh raw for consistency & because I tend to cook mostly from scratch (so they are raw ingredients) It's probably more important that you just log how you weigh.
-
moderately healthy? As long as you are feeding yourself enough protein & energy for your workouts there shouldn't be an issue, you'll have to figure this out yourself based on your energy levels if you're eating enough. If you do start to plateau you'll probably have to switch to counting calories. If your only goal is…

You choose not to, you don't need one, it's not too cold & you don't have to run anyway. If you don't want to xcise, you don't have to. If you think you want to stop making excuses. x

It's not necessary, but it does help to create a deficit. Also you must bear in mind that weight loss includes muscle loss & this can be minimised with strength training, which will help to keep your deficit as high as possible (muscles metabolise) Exercise will contribute to your overall wellbeing including physical…
-
Why would you want to replace food? Eeek Sometimes I will have a protein shake if I cba to cook after a good workout, does that count? I'd much rather eat though, delicious meals.
-
Yep. My fibro and RA seems to get much worse, and I have far more frequent migraines while on high carb. I also find it much easier to get my iron in while low carb & am less often in that wonderful anemic state. My 'trigger foods' are also all very high carb/refined sugar types of foods like pastries, so I have really…
-
I'd like to chime in that I drink bulletproofcoffee or tea/hot chocolate when I haven't eaten enough calories for the day, or am struggling to eat enough. It's a way of bumping up my calories for the day while also giving me extra grams of fat. If you want to lose weight you will want a deficit; if you are otherwise eating…
-
It's not just BMR that is in question, 1200kcal is around about a good number for minimum because it would be extremely difficult to get all essential micro-nutrients from less than that number per day. We're talking your potassium, iron, vitamins to help those minerals work correctly - all of that business. 1200 is an…

Every single time, if you are logging accurately and at a deficit or maintenance then you have not gained weight. Water retention will happen after a change in activity especially if that is a strength related activity like weight training. You can "gain" like 5-15lbs in a week from water retention alone, most people find…

110lbs down now, another 50-60 to go!
-
I got firbo, RA and anemic most of the time. I definitely relate to rollercoaster - been trying to get down for 4 years now. Would like friends!
-
Good quality dark chocolate, it's very low in sugar - so tends to have less calories than the milk & white types, if you don't like bitter 70% is still quite sweet, so a good compromise. My favorites include Green & Blacks with ginger, lindt excellence 70 - 90% & their orange (with almond) & mint. I also find because the…

poppilates on youtube is quite good, those workouts are like cardio mixed with pilates, good for building overall body strenght, and obviously free.
-
The corn was so light on calories it completely flew over his head!
-
That only works if you have buy my special vinegar fat break-down tea, it contains the active ingredient fastbustidol which breaks down all your bellyfat which you simply wee out. ONLY $90 A MONTH WOW
-
Pectoral muscles being built lifts up the tissue underneath it, so it absolutely does help you stay as perky as possible, it just doesn't make your boobs any bigger. To add to the cupsize convo - I started out wearing 38GG, I'm now wearing 30Ls or 32JJ my boobs haven't gotten any bigger, they've just about stayed the same…

coconut oil has saturated fat, so if you eat it you will get fat & die.
-
Well BPC doesn't have much to do with weight loss, it helps people who are in ketosis (which kills appetite) to eat more calories & also hit their fat macros. It's about energy more than anything, it's designed to have a high intake of calories. Your friend lost weight because they ate at a deficit. 'Selling BPC' why? It's…
-
You're the one who asked me a pedantic question & then tried to say there was food demonizing while replying directly to me. I'm not bent out of shape, I'm just replying to you.
-
I don't see why not, however it would need to be at a high temperature first to melt the butter & coconut oil (the usual) so as long as you mix it very well while making it up hot first there's no reason not to. I've made bullet proof hot chocolate before, tastes just as creamy and luxurious as the coffee - i've even mixed…
-
Seriously! I mean don't get me wrong, this works really well for some people; people have this style of eating worked into their lifestyle, and that's really awesome & good for them. I just can't see a life without baked potato smothered in cheese and mayo. Nope, no ty. OR pizza.. omg.
-
I never once said there was anything inherently wrong with them, or that you couldn't lose weight using them. Considering this thread is about Paleo there is actually very minimal food demonizing here, so what even is your point?
-
I'm over 100lbs lost now, RA and fibro - yeah it's really difficult with the pain, my exercise had to start of with VERY light resistance training & light cardio like walking or using the stationary bike, and i get tons of days where I am in too much pain to get up. Swimming is a great form of cardio which is entirely low…
