Nobody on here has claimed to be an expert, and everyone agrees it is a choice - everything is a choice. Joining MFP is a choice too, and taking the advice of others is another choice. Eating processed sugar is your prerogative, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea. I'm not perfect, and I don't have a flawless diet...…

Not true, your daily calorie intake is supposed to be at most 55% carbohydrates. If you're eating high-sugar foods INSTEAD of protein, you'll be losing muscle instead of fat.

Yeah, this! I honestly don't mean ANY insult to American people, just the institutional standards! I recently read up on obesity rates in the US, and I almost threw up in my mouth a little. When I travel to the US (I'm Canadian) I am always SHOCKED at the serving sizes!! If you want to drink a pop once in a while as a…

Hi there, congrats!!! If I can make a suggestion to keep you going... don't weigh yourself every single day (weight will fluctuate up and down slightly while on a downward trend!) and always weigh yourself either first thing in the morning or right before you go to bed - pick one time and stick to it all the way through…
