Hi Tracy, I use food! I just eat less of it than I did when I was slowly piling the pounds on. Shakeoloy doesn't work unless you eat at a calorie deficit, so why not just shake it off and buy real food that you can share with your family?
-
Time consuming? For me, it's less than a few minutes either the night before or the morning of. That's not time at all. :) Do what works for you.

Oops, missed this part before I answered. :)

Do you mean you're trying to help your new man lose weight and you want to know if weight loss can be done without veggies? Or, you want to not eat vegetables because he doesn't? Those things asked (without judgment :)), the only thing required for weight loss is a calorie deficit. What you eat is preference only. Also, if…

Run for your life! They just want your money. There is no special diet you need to lose weight, as any diet will work if you eat at a calorie deficit and no will work if you don't.
-
Give an example of this, please. Because, the only way to lose weight is to eat at a calorie deficit. ;)
-
Not if you're not already losing weight. Increasing calories is never the answer if you're not losing weight.
-
Yep, this too. :)
-
@@lclarkewalker, don't trade in your good home cooking for packaged meals. Your family will probably be very mad at you, and you will be mad at yourself. All you need is portion control. :)

More than 60 grams of carbs in a meal does seem like a lot, but....really? What happens to carb 61, or if you eat something that has more carbs than that? Sorry, but this does not sound right to me. ;) Source?
-
Nope, not this early in the game.

If you have been losing and gaining the same three pounds, you are not eating at a deficit. You are underestimating your calorie intake and/or overestimating your calories burned. This is pretty common when learning how to diet in a sustainable way. Food type has nothing to do with weight loss, though we might feel better…
-
This weight loss is in your first 4 days? If so, that is normal water weight loss, but it will slow down. How much are you trying to lose, and at what rate per week?
-
Absolutely not.
-
kushunarodri, your doctor put you on a VLCD because you started to gain weight back? That does not make sense, because weight gain means to simply cut back a bit on calories until you find your maintenance again. That 900 to 1000 is drastic.
-
This. ,

Why would you want a fat burner supplement? The only thing required to lose weight is a calorie deficit. Take your pick of fat burner supplements- any will work as long as you eat at a calorie deficit, but none will work if you don't eat at a calorie deficit. They are a waste of money.

You're fine, and doing very well. He's just having difficulty with the change. If he's truly your friend, he'll come around. I hope you reported this workplace harassment. Those type of comments are 100% inappropriate at any time, especially in the workplace.
-
Did you log your food and stay within your calorie deficit, or at least make sure that you stayed within maintenance calories? Food type does not matter when it comes to weight management. I hope you had a blast in NY. :)
-
This does not sound healthy at all-punishing yourself for eating too much. This is heading straight into eating disorder territory. You might want to talk to a counselor about this. 38 incline is pretty nasty. Was that constant? Why not alternate between the inclines so that you don't hurt yourself? Your ankles probably…
-
I see. Still, I'm wondering why your doctor put you on a VLCD with only 60 pounds to lose. That said, I have never tried this one, but I did try VLCD fad diets in the past. They made me grumpy, hungry, deprived and a pain to be around. :) P.S. I just noticed you added your avatar photo! Very cute!

The only thing required to lose weight is a calorie deficit, and that can be done with real food instead of Slimfast shakes. In fact, the word "Slimfast" is just a silly sales gimmick to get people to buy their product. The shakes will work only if you stay in a calorie deficit, so why use the shakes at all? Just plan out…

Ashley, 100 pounds at 5 ft 2 is considered underweight. You don't need to lose weight.
-
Wait a minute....yes to what? There's no question. All the foods she ate are fine in moderation, calorie dense or not. Ashley, 102 calories over is nothing. :)
-
What are your stats? How much are you trying to lose? When you say you are under medical supervision, do you mean your doctor or a dietitian and not a nutritionist or a rep of the diet program? Just know that the only thing required to lose weight is a calorie deficit. Diet type is up to your own preference and does not…
-
It's all about what works for you. Some people work out better on a full stomach, others not so much. Just remember with IF that you need to still get all your calories in. It's a way of eating and has no magic when it comes to weight loss. :)
-
Your body weight naturally fluctuates. That's all there is to it. :) As long as you stick to your calorie goal, you will lose weight. If you don't like seeing natural fluctuations, you might want to weigh yourself about once a week.

There is a difference between teaching nutrition, but telling kids she ate nuts for dinner because she was out of calories was really dumb. She could have left that part out. She also has no business telling kids to restrict calories either-and, no, that is not teaching nutrition, etc. It seems to me she is projecting her…

That's great you lost a lot of weight, but I can guarantee you lost a whole lot of lean muscle mass as well. That is never good. However, you did not lose weight (and muscle mass) due to the cleanse, but because you ate at a calorie deficit, and one that was way too extreme. ETA: there is nothing at all wrong with fasting…
