If you're not an athlete, it's probably "roughly" accurate. The more muscular you become, the less accurate it is. A lot of overweight people like to say it's highly inaccurate, "I could never be the weight it suggests", but they've never been close enough to their correct bmi to have any accurate idea of the truth of that…

I once did fasting (not intermittent) to try to fix my weight-- 25 days of pure starvation 5 days of not, repeat, I lost over a hundred pounds pretty rapidly... and it (shy water weight, eg: excluding first week) was ~nowhere near~ 30lbs in 21 days... and my metabolism basically went to **** (30% tdee reduction to maintain…

It's called "reduced sodium" and "water weight loss"... and as soon as your sodium increases you gain it all back.

Thoughts on this: "Quick fixes don't work" and "the first weigh in on any diet where you greatly reduce sodium will result in a fairly massive (although not real since it's all water weight) weight loss." Basically they're exploiting water weight loss and touting it as real weight loss, which it isn't. 3500 calories to a…

Quoted for truth.

I wouldn't call a 1000 calories with a moderate level of activity a good method. Doing a rough tdee calculation comes up with a TDEE of around 2200 calories... so you're eating at a 1200 calorie (2.4lb/week) deficit in the last 14 lbs of your weight loss... Losses of .5-1 lb a week are high at what you have left to lose…

Top 4 reasons: 1) You're not weighing food and underestimating intake (Potatoes for example list a medium potato as 148g, smallest potato in the bag was ~190g... so the calorie info on the bag was WAY off.) 2) You're using the actual calorie numbers the various sites and machines give you and over estimating expenditure.…

Add a cup of mixed veggies, some soy sauce, a few cloves of minced garlic, a quarter onion chopped, & half the liquid requirements with chicken stock. Bang, pseudo fried rice. Not as good as the real thing, but it's super easy and fast.

The more you move the more you can eat, it's that simple... if you wanna eat more, move more.

17k is a bit much but 12k is doable... http://www.foxnews.com/story/2008/08/14/michael-phelps-12000-calorie-day-diet-not-for-everyone/

You *need* fats and sugars. I'm unsure why you're trying to avoid them desperately. Fat doesn't make you fat, over eating makes you fat.

Add higher calorie items to your diet, nuts, dairy, healthy oils, etc. Time you eat food doesn't matter*1. It also doesn't matter how many meals you eat a day*2, 1-3-6 whatever... just make sure you're getting enough calories. *1- Edit: Doesn't matter for weight loss/gain. It can matter if you're say running marathons or…

Best advice ever. If it passes your mouth, log it.

Hey Jon, another person here who's done the dieting dance (every diet more or a less, just lack long term accountability, seems like that might be your tough spot too) over the years (350+ to <200 many times)... after I hit my target weight this time I'll have lost right about 1000 lbs since I was 16... (36 currently)…

I like very lean red meat (93/7), tuna, chicken, turkey burgers (they're not half bad!), morning star farms black bean burgers & breakfast sausage, greek yogurt (gold, use 0 cal sweetener or something like stevia to make it more like regular yogurt if that's your thing), jerky (turkey, beef, and pork), tuna steaks, salmon,…

I'll also add for a lot of people (especially those unfamiliar with it) a touch of splenda/stevia/whatever sweetener you like for the greek yogurt filling makes it much tastier, especially if you add a little vanilla extract to that too. All in all delicious!

Basically, no more than taking any fiber will make you lose weight... which is to say, no. http://supplement-geek.com/skinny-fiber-weight-loss-review/

Looks fine to me, but be careful eating back calories, I never eat back more than 70% of my exercise calories because those estimations are very very inaccurate.

If you're feeling "pressure" in your guts you should be going shortly, if you're not feeling pressure don't worry about it.

No. Period. Anyone who is saying otherwise is a moron based on what you wrote and are setting you up for a lack of working out period. It would be better to increase your riding in ways you enjoy than to "crack the whip" and try to force yourself to do something you dislike. If you burn yourself out or hate it and quit…

A lot of people are just rude, I blame cell phones and parents who didn't teach them manners.

If you're actually concerned, talk to a doctor. PTs often as not are just some bro at the gym who went for a few classes (which is not to say there are no highly educated, very good PTs. Just that a lot of them aren't.)

Congratulations! Always good to know your life style changes are improving your life, even from the doctors perspective.

If the salt isn't well above your daily allowance, it's not good popcorn.

The easy way to figure it is... to lose 1lb of weight per week you need a deficit of 500 calories per day. 2lbs/week is 1000 calories deficit a day. If you eat 600 extra calories you might come in just shy of 2lbs but it'll still be close. If you're having trouble with the amount of food you can eat, i suggest you change…

The only thing it will do is increase muscle tone in your legs (which will make them look thinner) and cause you to burn more calories since you're moving.

Oh man... the number of stupid diets I did. Juicing. Carnation instant breakfast (you can actually live off these for months, its just monotonous and when you go off hard to keep it off, doctors sometimes have people use them instead of the more costly liquid supplements if they have jaw surgery). Fast food diet for a few…

If it fits in your calorie goals, it'll be fine. period. You can eat nothing but butter and still lose weight.

At net 500 calories a day you are literally beginning the starvation process. Seek professional help or make yourself get closer to your calorie goal. It's not easy to have a good relationship with food for many of us... believe me, I've yo-yo'd from high 100s to mid 300s a half dozen times... I've lost over 800 lbs total…
