Umm, don't eat less, eat more! Why on earth is a 31 year old man who trains 4 times a week only eating 1200 calories!? Unless you are very short and very light you should be eating more. I'm female, 5'7, 159lbs, with a desk job and I eat 1600+ exercise cals. Rethink what you are doing.

It's understandable you'd be paranoid, but your Doctor will know your family history and they'll keep an eye on you because of that. Just try to be as fit and healthy as you can, don't smoke and don't drink more than you should, that'll give you the best possible chance of staying healthy even with genetic predispositions.…

Please try not to worry, it is true that exposure to estrogen increases breast cancer risk BUT eating soy, even often, has a negligible increase in your risk. Do you know what causes the biggest increase in exposure to estrogen? How many periods you have; so starting early, not having a baby or breastfeeding, and having…
-
The worry about soy is greatly exaggerated, so unless you're having any allergy symptoms don't worry about it. I eat a lot of soy (A LOT) and have done for the long term, and nothing terrible has happened to me yet!

That is hilarious! Sorry no advice, but that has tickled me. :joy:

Comiserations OP, I have the opposite problem my boss is a huuuge fat guy, who has been on weight watchers for like 5 years and is in a continuous cycle of losing 40lbs, putting it back on, losing 40lbs, putting it back on. I moved jobs recently to something that requires printing off reports, and he tried to make me move…

Not really, but I do plan pretty much everything in advance. For example, work lunch is lentil chilli that I made a big thing of and split into 5 tupperwares for the week, and for dinner I'm having stir-fry so I've already logged 100g pork, 100g of carrot (which I know is usually a small-medium carrot) etc. basically I…
-
That's exactly how I cook, which is why I find a white board easiest to manage everything. So it's like; a carrot is 100g, write it on the white board, apart from this bit which is squishy or I dropped on the floor, re weigh, change it on the white board.
-
I do the same, but have a wipe-able whiteboard stuck up in the kitchen to write everything on.

My friend walked in on her 5 year old son in front of the mirror, squishing his tummy and sucking it in and frowning, He already gets upset because he's the shortest in his class. It's crazy, no one should feel like their not good enough, especially at 5!
-
I think this is an important way of talking to any child about their body, Daughter or Son. Boys are also subject to creepy pressure about their bodies.
-
Just weigh it like I do everything else.

I got the thin wallet too, I though it was a super weird targeted ad as I've literally never owned or bought a wallet in my life.
-
That's so funny because that's exactly how I keep pace, singing along with my ipod unfortunately my running playlist is combo of rap and songs from musicals. I also joined the gym over the winter and need to keep reminding myself that no one needs to hear me huffing and puffing along to gross rap or the wicked soundtrack.

Please think about what you're saying. Eating spoons of oil to lose fat on your stomach, how does that make any sense? Eat less calories than you burn and do it in a way that fits your lifestyle and goals, simple.

On the topic of other menstruating mammals, and to cheer everyone up PMS-ing or not; My friend's dog has finally 'blossomed' and bled for the first time. My friend hears a shout from 3-year-old who is playing with the dog in the other room. "Mum, Maggie's just dropped her bum jam all over the kitchen floor!" Periods are…

There are no muscles holding up your boobs, your pectorals sit behind the breast tissue against your chest wall.

Also because of the Hot-Crazy matrix. and the fact she's dumb as a bag of rocks.

True story.

It's because there's no recommended guideline for the amount of this particular fat, If I recall correctly.

How can you hate your body? It's where you live! I'm not trying to belittle your feelings or anything, it's just I'm genuinely shocked that people can hate their bodies. I have a friend who hates the way she looks and how 'gross' her body is. I'm just like, dude you have children, your body literally made those bodies,…
-
I'm happy with my body, after all it's the only one I've got. Regardless of how you look the human body is an incredible feat of engineering, and I feel sad for people who don't like their own body. I'm 5'7 but my excellent posture, and (over)confidence make me seem taller, I'm also an hourglass even at my highest weight…

Not the way he's doing it :joy:

What is a power food? Detoxes are cow poo, Dairy is delicious and good for you. But it does sound you're not eating enough, You've got a lot going on at the moment, maybe consider dropping weightloss down to 1 or even .5lb a week? Also I'd make sure you're not pregnant, just in case.
-
Waaa? But science...What? That...science...
-
That's completely dumb. So the 10lbs I put on in the 4 days before my period I should track? Because otherwise I'm avoiding and denying the fact that I've put on weight? What about the 10lbs of water I piss out on the first two days of my period? I should count that as a loss right? Yay I lost 5lbs in a day! You know…

You can also use the dry potato flakes as gluten free 'breading' on stuff.

The banana girl is a daft bint, Please do not take notice of her 'lifestyle advice'. She believes women have periods because their bodies are toxic :neutral_face:
-
Not often, but that's just the way my routine has worked out. I'm not a breakfast-er and I start work at 7am, So my first meal is 11am, a small lunch usually 200-400 calories. Then I might have a snack when I get home from work about 4pm, unless I go running in which case the snack will wait till after, or I'll just have…

The plot thickens!
