Considering T-rexes have tiny arms, yes! Jokes aside, my upper body and arms needs serious work so probably not.

I don't believe it is formulated to make you want more. Here's the thing- foods in general have different effects on your body. For instance sugar causes a spike in your blood sugar, then your body increases its insulin production in order to tell cells to absorb the sugar. Then when your blood sugar drops, you can have a…

You are my hero for the day :)

I think a lot of people want all foods to be seen as "available" during a diet because studies and experience prove that allowing yourself an indulgence or a treat is 10 times more likely to result in successful, safe and maintainable weight loss. To me, it isn't so much about defending fast food as it is helping people…

Honey won't degrade or spoil ever. A bag of pasta or wheat flour or sugar can sit out for several years without going bad (unless some bugs get into it or moisture). Mayo, ketchup and mustard can be kept out of refrigeration because the amount of vinegar in them makes it impossible for bacteria to thrive. Just because a…

Our "quitting" fast food wasn't a matter of believing fast food is evil. But the price sure is! lol We took a look at our monthly bank statement and decided eating out wasn't for us anymore. We want to buy a house this year and fast food wasn't in the budget plan for that. I started cooking at home and found that if I ate…

Both of these but mostly the part in bold. Exactly what I was saying about my Christmas dress. It made me feel good and that little taste made me want more.

If you know anything about Tess, you would know she works out regularly, lifts weights and eats a well balanced diet set by her nutritionist and doctors advice. As a larger woman myself who is trying to lose weight, I feel that no person should be made to feel ugly, unattractive, unloved, unappreciated because of their…

Dear OP, There are always going to be those on MFP that will say such and such food is bad for you. And there are going to be those that say no food is inherently bad for you and as long as you can fit it into your calories and your macros, go for it. I agree with the latter. But I also understand that you may have already…

This. Promoting an unhealthy short term extreme diet can lead to a long term eating disorder based on a skewed view of "I dropped 10 pounds before, I can do it again... and again... and again"

What about becoming friends with some other moms in your area? You can often "trade" sitting services or playdates with other mommy friends. You watch for them 2-3 times a week, they watch for your 2-3 times a week. You both get some time away to yourselves and the babies get to make playmates and you get to make new…

Firstly, at a higher weight, your body requires more to maintain. I am the same height and weigh about 207 and 1700 calories a day would boot me into .5-1.0 pound of fat loss per week probably. But considering the difference in weight, you will probably lose more than that at 1700 a week. When you lose some weight, you…

They are both great! But different flavors lend to different things. Additionally, their nutrients are different. Calories are similar per weight but they both contain good things in them. I can eat either personally. I think sweet potatoes offer a bit more versatility in that they can be a side item or a dessert. Or a…

And you had your goal set to lose 60 pounds. The heavier you are, the more your body requires in calories to maintain. So your calorie deficit at 1200 might be around 800-900 calories a day before exercise. Her calorie deficit at 1200 might be about 300 a day before exercise. That huge difference in numbers is why someone…

Lose ten pounds of weight in two weeks? You could cut off a limb. But I really don't recommend that. Very unsafe. But so is trying to lose 10 pounds of fat in two weeks. It takes a deficit of 3500 calories to burn a pound of fat. That is 35,000 calories deficit total for 10 pounds of fat loss. If you ate absolutely nothing…

That was my second thought. You asked if it was too low. Everyone has thus far answered that it is. But you don't seem to like the answer and are using everything you can to rebuttal it. I promise, people here aren't just answering to sabotage you.

I haven't been miserable yet. I feel fantastic. It's all about mindset. And the mindset that you have to lose it all fast is dangerous. Not only are you likely to lose lean muscle mass by eating so little, but you are more likely to gain it all back plus some when you move to maintenance because your body will be so used…
-
You have a couple options 1) Build more lean muscle. Muscle burns calories even while resting so that at the same weight, or even less perhaps, your body is requiring more calories to maintain and would allow you to eat more to your satisfaction. This is probably going to require lifting which you said you don't like to…

Wow this thread has really grown!!! Thought you guys would enjoy this- a TARDIS belt buckle. I hope to do a themed shoot with the family soon with all of us wearing Doctor related gear. My daughter will be in a pair of hand painted galaxy leggings with a TARDIS applique, my husband will wear this, I will have a hand…

Glad you got the joke. But really I keep protein powder on hand in case I have a wonky day where I somehow just don't get enough protein. I typically get 80-90 grams of protein a day with my meals and snacks but on the rare occasion that I don't eat right (out of the house all day or a stressful day maybe) I use my protein…

I guess I've been doing it all wrong. Darn plastic food!

Protein does the same thing.

No food is inherently bad. If you aren't dealing with a medical issue that requires you watch your sugar, and as long as you are fitting it into your calories, you can still have sugar and have weight loss. I cut out most added sugar personally but that is a personal preference because I have never liked the way super…

Not being rude but even if your medication caused you to retain weight by somehow turning incoming calories into fat, CICO still is in effect. If you are as active as you say, you would be burning a lot of calories- more than your body could retain at less than 1,000 incoming calories a day. Energy can neither be created…

Amazing job! I'm nearly in one-der-land myself as well!
