food supplements dont work.. eat less food or eat less junk food. Calories in vs Calories out.. supplements are the biggest waste of money around and wont help the most critical factor in loosing weight.. a change of mindset and the way you approach food. Supplements dont teach you to go from emotional eating to eating…

you need to get better discipline.. simple really

unless you are getting MORE than 1.5g of protein per pound of your bodyweight.. dont even think about it

pff if you pay for that holiday and DONT go mental.. then in my opinion you failed the holiday lol.. go nuts seriously and just fast.. start it when you head back to the airport... 2 days of flying/airports/unpacking/facebooking your holiday pics made the time fly so fast I wasnt even hungry

Hi, absolutely trust me on what I am about to say. I just got back from Turkey and I ate and drank at least 6000 calories a day. I got back and found I was 4 pounds heavier. However it takes your body more than a week to actually convert surplus calories into solid fat so just do this.. eat and drink like an animal and…

squats.. do them.. seriously

your in starvation mode!!! thats why!!! my god man

Try intermittent fasting. Breaks plataues like crazy. Your body will never just "refuse to budge" if you are eating less calories then you are burning, you will loose weight, doesnt matter if you are 70 lbs. I am gonna guess very little, but how much muscle do you have on your frame?

no scales or floor are going to be dead accurate, however your variations in weight can be dead accurate if you keep everything the same. Make sure the floor is as flat and solid as it can be, then be sure to put and stand on the scales in the exact same way everytime. hey presto!

so you told us what you eat at breakfast and a small snack at work.. wheres the rest of your food? if you say none.. theres your answer and good luck being skinny fat

seems you have more issues mentally and emotionally then you do physically. put focusing on weight loss to one side and concentrate on becoming content with your current life.

my fitness pals macro nutrients are dumb. They set too low protein goals, too low sugar goals, too high carb goals and kinda get fats/sodium ok. Ignore ALL of the goals MFP set (except calories) and just get 1g of protein per pound of your bodyweight, eats fruits and veg and anything else that fits your calories.

"you have to eat to loose" errrm this is a dumb point.. thats like saying you have to cry to be sad..

nope your not. you are not eating 1000 calories and doing 90 minutes cardio for 4 weeks and not loosing weight. this is physically an impossibility your body has had to consume energy from somewhere. so you are either: not measuring calories right not weighting yourself accurately and at the same times of the day not…

I remember going down these roads before :D brings a smile to my face. You really do need to care about being skinny-fat. Someone who is 170 pounds that did not crash diet and worked out will look leaner, healthier, stronger and better than someone who crashed to 140 who still has a hanging belly and feels like chit.…

Stay in your calories, get 1g of protein per pound of bodyweight and your fine to eat watever else you like as long as you throw in some fruit and veg :)

I am fed up of people saying there is no such thing as "clean" or "dirty" foods... there really is.. yes you can eat watever the fook u want and loose weight if it is within your caloric goals, yes you can gain muscles while bulking if you are within your caloric goals. But! you will not get the same results you would get…

Simple.. you went over your calories today? now you have to make up for it tomorrow. if you did 200 or 300 calories more than you should have, subtract them from your calories tomorrow and punish yourself tomorrow. If you be sure to do that then you will stop cheating as you know you will only have to suffer for it…

weight loss wise: you could eat nothing but raw sugar and still loss weight if you are in a deficit Health wise: not a problem if a majority of this sugar is fructose (fruit etc) and not really a problem if you arent diabetic. Try to limit eating anything too sugary first thing after not eating for hours (first thing in…

Well my opinion (based on personal experiance and the experiances of others) is I cant see it being a coincidence. I know people personally who have lost more weight on certain timings or certain macros then they did on other schedules. There is more to it then just calories in vs calories out.. just has to be..

Yeah I really thought so as well. I am now so unsure as to wether it was IF that stalled my weight loss or just a massive coincidence my plateu started and stopped the very same weeks (it seeems too hard to believe) I switched diets. I am almost tempted to get back to IF just for curiosity to see if my weight stalls again…

I know this :) I did not change my calories during IF as to what I was on during small meals. So that is not a variable that could explain the results that I got.

I certainly agree that if you round up 200 people.. stuck 100 of them on IF and 100 of them on small meals at the same caloric deficit. I am certain that they would average the same weight loss and hence the study would state "meal timings have no effect on weight loss".. however I do not believe a study of averages can…

Time to go shopping me thinks, how thick should the consitency be? Should it be "I aint letting this muder fuding spoon go" thick or should it be "imma wanna be drippier then titanic"?

Oh wow those pumpkin ones look dang tasty! so using this guides! thanks! no way was my mixture as thick as that though, probably the reason those dang sugary carby little raisin ba***rds sank to the bottom and I was left scoopin them out.. Gj team.. I WILL HAVE PANCAKES

that was helpful thanks! My protein shake is about 60 quid so its kinda high end (I guess, me donts know me *kitten* from me elbow when it comes to shakes. Got recommended to me by a hench bloke). So imma give it another stab with a non-stick pan and spray that pan up like I was fake tannin de bugger and see how it goes.…

Dang the science of a pancake.. I just wanted a way of getting my protein shake and eggs in after the gym without eating eggs and drinking shake lol. I thought.. ooh pancakes with eggs and shake is the solution!! God damn cottage cheese and shake... that must of been freakin aweful bro. Dont think the pan is non stick :/.…

No I agree with you! going at any number of calories will eventually create a platue even if is a deficit, and yeah its not starvation mode its just adjusting to the deficit and the routine. Just like a gym routine that you stick at for too long.. your body gets used to it and you stop gaining as much muscle. Shaking your…

Days and days.. Ignore this starvation mode.. its the biggest load of BS in the dieting world.. seriously. It is the most commonly believed myth in the world. Yes it does exist, but you will never hit it.

Sorry to say but yo teachin be dodgy Starvation mode aint hit over night.. it aint even hit in 2 days. But I aint gonna nit pick temanoilgy.. There is no way in hell if you stay at a caloric deficit that your body is gonna start storing fat... it aint gonna happen.. Your metabolism will slow (no where even close to the…
