I can tell you my experience with the "starvation mode". Back in my HS days I went into a 400 cal or less diet per day after being called "fat" by some guys at school (I was only 103lbs back then. Kids are mean!) I persisted with that unhealthy diet for 3 weeks. What I noticed was my hair loss, and I mean tons of them.…

Cannot agree more with the OP. I don't understand the whole Paleo thing. Why excluding legumes and so many other things that are proven to be so beneficial for your body? However, my philosophy is, people can do whatever they want to themselves, as long as they don't affect me personally. What pisses me off more than…

I've accidentally found out how to achieve the texture of the twinkie sponge cake. What I did was prepare a regular yellow cake mix and cook it like a pancake, in the pan, on the stove. What came out was a spongy cake that if made in square shape, slathered with whipped cream / butter cream, rolled and cut, would taste…

I've never been interested in Twinkies, may be I'm just weird :)

MFP sets me at 1200 at light activity level. Even if I set at the highest level it's 1370...

Thank you for your reply. My weight is fine I think. I don't actually go with weight (I stop weighting myself regularly) and go by look. Basically all I want is to gain some muscles and definitions. I just don't know if I feel hungry because I didn't eat enough or because I didn't yet get used to the right amount I'm…

Would you mind sharing some days of your diet? I don't think you can fit a whole lot of food in 1200 unless you're eating celery (and I HATE celery). I always have serious stomach growling if I eat less than 1500 and myfitnesspal app sets me at 1200...

Same problem here. I always gain weight coming back from a trip because when I don't have to cook and get to socialize with people, I get hyped up and eat a lot... :(

I'm still living with my parents (college student money saving mode) so I get to hear my dad talking about how I need to eat more all the time. I'm trying to control my diet because my metabolism is slowing down tremendously comparing to high school. I put on weights more easily but my parents refuse to understand it.…

I love Shiitake mushrooms :) My mom used to braise duck (I'd rather use skinless boneless chicken thighs due to the fat content) in soy sauce + sugar (stevia in my version) + salt + pepper + ginger + garlic + nutmeg (optional) + white wine and serve over white rice. I'd always pick out the mushroom instead of the meat…

I'm on week 4 now and while my bf says his calves hurt for a while, I felt absolutely no pain on my calves watsoever. What even stranger is his calves are very muscular and lean; mine are very not muscular nor lean. I feel lots of pain on my thighs however. We will get through this :)

Sign me in :)

I used to weigh myself everytime I went to the bathroom. Now I don't care much about the weight anymore but the way I actually look. I might lose fat, but then I might gain muscle from working out so the number doesn't tell me anything... I'd say I weight myself once a week?

20 here :)
