I have this same reaction... my wife has to eat a couple of hours before bed or she gets really bad reflux, so she usually eats early - like around 5. I prefer to eat later at 6:30 to 7. If I eat early, I am hungry again before going to bed between 9 and 10. We make it work by cooking the evening meal early and I just heat…

A single serving of peanut butter, weighed out, is simply sadness... :(

You took the words outta my mouth - I was thinking steak and eggs as well!

No you don't have to be a criminal for it to be an addiction, but there are some behaviors that go along with the 'addiction'. I would be willing to bet that when the urge, binge or whatever you want to call it happens, you do not run to the sugar bowl on the table (or the sugar container in the pantry) and start scarfing…

Yes, coffee counts as liquid intake... so do foods like soup which are mostly water.
-
No, they aren't. Some people may have a binge response to eating something sweet, but that does not mean the sugar (and or flour) are 'addictive'.

Which is just one more reason why WW's arbitrary and silly rules never made any sense to me

Unless you are an elite-level athlete trying to get that extra 1/10% performance gain, meal timing comes very low on the totem pole as regards weight loss and working out and results from the workout.

This is a naturally occurring statin (just so you know).

This is just plain silly.

not any more than any calorie restricted diet.

And yet the ID you are posting this from was created this afternoon... just want to rage quit w/o losing everything you have to this point?

I'm not sure what you are saying here... is it that protein does not produce an insulin spike, or maybe that people who choose the OMAD diet should get most of their calories from protein, or maybe both of these?

What specifically are you trying to accomplish with the intermittent fasting?

High sodium can mask weight loss by making your body retain water, but I don't know of any way it impede weight loss.

5.4 A1C is in the normal range, not pre-diabetic.

Cheerios - pour them in a cup and eat them like popcorn (no milk). Veggies Cheese sticks

If the person is already having issues, taking in a massive amount of fiber at once will simply make the problem worse! A gradual increase in fiber might be called for, but please, do not do all of this at once! OP - are you having to push hard, or are you simply not going as often as you used to? Struggling to evacuate is…

I have been drinking a fairlife chocolate protein shake after dinner lately - very chocolaty, smooth, low-carb and 30g of protein per serving. Satisfies my chocolate craving and gives me a good protein boost at the same time (for only 150 calories a serving).

Congratulations... you had a normal reaction to eating food (esp. sugary food like plums). Other than that, this is a meaningless data point. If you really want to see how your body is responding, you should check the BG at 1 hour and then 2 hours after eating to see if the BG readings have returned to normal levels. If…

I am glad that you have found a way to eat that works for you, but as previous posters have said, it is not a cure-all for everyone. I naturally IF as I am rarely hungry in the morning and prefer to eat more substantially later in the day. For my wife, on the other hand, IF would be a total train wreck - she is…

For those who actually understand how the human body works, this is the perfect answer... for those who don't... oh well.

What's wrong with ketosis?

Seriously???? If it's all based on the luck of the draw, why do you even bother getting out of bed in the morning?? After all, your actions will not affect the outcome, so why bother? As for what niner is saying, I think he has hit the nail on the head - some people skate thru life doing the minimum that they have to do to…

Yes, the responses have always been listed oldest-first. The threads are managed as 20 responses per page. Once a thread gets over 20 responses, then at the bottom right of the first page (immediately under the last comment on the page) there will be buttons that can be used to navigate to particular pages in the…

I'm jumping on the 'eat the popsicle' wagon here... 1, not everything you eat needs to be 'nutritious' 2. your body doesn't give you extra credit for going over on nutrients (and going over on some can have VERY bad results) 3. way too much effort 4. POPSICLES!!!!

They are not saying that source matters, they are saying CONTEXT and SOURCE matter. For the average non-endurance training person, neither context nor source matter. If you are running marathons (or even just running more than a couple of miles) or doing long distance biking, then the source does matter - because in that…

First off, sweating has very little to do with FAT loss... it can contribute to weight loss by decreasing the amount of water in your body, but that weight (water loss) will return as soon as you hydrate yourself. Actual FAT loss is accomplished by eating fewer calories than you burn in a day. Fat/sugar are used by the…
