I think you should just stay at home. It seems that you really don't want to go, don't want trouble with your boyfriend and object ( at least that is how I read it from your answers ) in general to the experience. You will have decades yet to live your life and I think in the grand scheme of things it makes absolutely no…

My former husband was ravenous every 2-3 hours, while losing weight. It took two doctors to figure out that he was actually diabetic. Once his diabetes was under control those unusual feelings of hunger stopped. Also, you might check for hypoglycemia....either way; I would consult a doctor and not trust the " everything is…

I have active systemic Lupus ( with chronic fatigue and chronic pain ) and RA since I was at university more than 40 years ago and for the last ten years have no thyroid and am on heavy doses of cortisone. Unfortunately there is no specific diet that deal with autoimmune diseases ( unless you want to try the…

I don't quite understand what you are saying, because the sign only pops up when you eat less than 1000 calories. If you eat 2000 it should not pop up and you might want to contact MFP to solve that problem. But then again from your post, even though you don't go into details, I get the feeling that you eat much less than…

I did well last year enjoying some of my favorite foods and drink by going on maintenance level over Christmas and New Years ( 4-5 days ) including my birthday and I did not gain a gram.....not even water weight. I plan to do the same this year.

I have been eating whole, healthful, natural foods all my life and still ended up 30 kilos overweight. Why ? Because I ate consistently two baked potatoes with my meals instead of just one. I ate easily two cups of rice with two meals a day and four cups of rive is a LOT of calories for a person under 5 feet (me). I also…

You must be on the older and very short side. My BMR is lower than yours, but I am past 65 and under 5 feet tall. Yes, it makes losing a challenge sometimes, but is also one of those cases were people are justified to eat 1200 calories or less. I went about it slowly using a relatively small deficit and still lost 55…

Warfarin was first FDA approved in 1954. Do you really call that " new " ? I think 60 years is a lot of time to gain experience from a drug.

I l-o-v-e home made natural ( full fat for me ) yogurt, heaped with pomegranate seeds and a small dollop of honey. A gift from heaven !

Growing up in Europe alcohol for young people was not a big deal. I had my first glass of wine ( a small one ) with the meal on the day of my first communion at age ten. I did not like it, but drank it , because I felt special. After that I was allowed a glass every Sunday with the main meal, but most of the time…

Actually tongue is not a fatty meat, because it is all muscle.

Since burritos are not well known in Mexico ( only in border areas up North ) I stick with tacos and as many people do here ( in South Central Mexico; Mexico City specifically ) only eat a taco with one tortilla. That does not diminish the flavor but saves for four standard size corn tortillas 220 calories. I would not…

If it seems genuine, or at least is nothing weird; I smile, say " thank you " and move on.

Exercising so a person can eat more has never made sense to me, because it still supports that " eat as much as you can " lifestyle. I exercise moderately to improve my health and for me that does not include eating more ( not even my exercise calories ) just because I can and the food is there.

Thank you ! Finally someone who is well informed !

Spelling is not grammar..... and as a German and grand daughter of a survivor of the holocaust, I don't know how I feel about the use of the worrd " Nazi " in this context. Well, I know how I feel, but don't want to get into it here.

My first love of cheese is real German aged Münster; the kind that runs on the plate and needs to be eaten in seclusion because of it's delicious smell...lol. Since I left my home country 40 years ago, I had to do without. Now I equally love full fat Gorgonzola, Stilton and aged goat cheese that gets runny like Camembert…

Encouraged by the fact that there is no scientific base to the rule that " breakfast is the most important meal of the day " and after eating breakfast for 65 years, I quit last year in April and never felt better. Meal timing and frequency is only personal preference, nothing more. You are perfectly fine, if you prefer…

I do 18:6 every day and on top of it do 5:2. I have Lupus and no longer have a thyroid and this way still have lost 55 pounds. I do not suffer because of an ultra low calorie limit and feel fine. I eat 1200 calories, because I am over 65, under 5 feet and moderately active. Without IF I would have to go so low in calories…

I won't, even though I am over 65. I live in an under developed country and am not convinced that all our vaccines are always for the right strain. And with that I mean for the strain that in developed countries are at least figured out with well educated/scientific guesses . For example right now people are waiting for…

If you eat 1600-2100 calories a day and you are underweight by that much there are three possibilities ( somewhat over simplified ) you either eat a lot less than you think, you exercise a lot more and therefore burn more calories, or you have a metabolic problem like hyperthyroidism, which requires that you see a doctor…

[/quote] Nope. It would be considered an excuse if I claimed to not be able to cook without actually trying to. But that's not the case here. I've tried to learn many times, and I've been unsuccessful each and every time. Yes I can prepare basic things like scrambled eggs, etc, but I don't consider that as a healthy food…

I thought the same. I am under 5 feet tall and 105 pounds is my ideal weight.

Any time you gain weight, you also gain some fat....there is nothing you can do about it. How much fat you gain depends on what you eat, ( since you have to eat at a calorie surplus to gain, this is one of the times where it does matter what you eat ) and on the exercise you do. I bet you can find knowledgeable…

Odten these headaches happen with people who are unaware of the fact that they have elevated BP. Often it is not significantly high, but just within low ranges. I would have it checked out. Good Luck !

You forgot to mention that those who handpick those pods are all wearing silk gloves . They also don't eat any onions and garlic so the pods are not contaminated by foul breath and of course they only bathe in the first dew of the new moon and only if the dew is harvested by virgin unicorns.....:o). You probably have no…

You are mistaken. Cocoa is grown largely in West African, but the chocolate is not made there.

Endive and Chicory are not the same......

You know that " virtually " means that you might, or you might not enter everything in your log. I think your calorie count is off, because you are misjudging your portion sizes. You really need to weigh and measure accurately to have a good chance at weight loss. Good Luck !

Good Luck ![/quote] Hi...if you go back to the beginning, she gives her height...5'2". Don't know if you missed that.[/quote] Yes, I did indeed miss that fact. Thanks for letting me know. BTW: I just checked the numbers and the WHO statistics say that less than two persons out of a 1000 who are seriously dieting ( trying…
