She's on it for 30 minutes? Yeah, regardless of any defenders she may have, that's beyond ridiculous. She needs to be educated (not necessarily by you, but someone). Just ask if you can work in with her. If she's too dense to get the hint, you might need to sit down in front of her, and stare, until she finishes.

Okay, it's about that time again... If your kid was about to run into the path of a large automobile, would you politely and calmly reason with them not to do such a thing? I think not! There are many fine and knowledgeable individuals that spend precious moments of their arduous lives dispensing valuable information on…

I'm gonna guess at least 2lbs?

Since individuals notoriously overestimate their calories burned, you should always go with the lowest estimate. Also, I recommend only eating, at most, 1/2 of your calories back (unless you want to come back here and post a "why am I not losing weight?" thread). I didn't eat any of my calories back, although that approach…

I don't worry about "servings" per se. I weigh the total finished product, and divide the total calories into that, which gives me 1) calories per gram. When it's time to eat, weigh whatever amount you serve yourself (of course) and multiply what you eat by the result obtained in 1.

It's a crazy world, isn't it?

I weigh daily. It's not "unhealthy" to weigh yourself multiple times daily (unless it's affecting other aspects of your life adversely). It is unhealthy to obsess over the natural fluctuations that will occur.

Almonds (and most -- probably all -- nuts, in general) are a great snack. As you noted, however, they don't give a lot of "bang for your buck." Personally, I'm not satisfied to eat only a handful of nuts for a snack, so I haven't fit them in recently (and if someone can eat 3-4,000 cals a day, of course they can eat pretty…

Of course your hair will fall out if you don't understand the importance of basic nutrition. Your hair will also fall out on 5,000 calories a day if you don't know how to eat properly.

Your "usual" 6% BF? You're either a troll or severely under-educated.

It's interesting that a few here ask others for "peer-reviewed scientific articles" to corroborate their positions (normally, an understandable request). It's also worth noting that these are often the same individuals who post anecdotal (and unverifiable) info about their own health, in order to support their lifestyle…

I stopped reading at "nasty crunchy onions." Well, that sorta explains the previous outlook.

I agree with most of the posters that suggest you should move out (although if that was a convenient alternative, I doubt you'd be there in the first place). Expecting his mother to change her eating habits (which she's probably had her entire life) for you, due to your inability to eat in moderation? It's not like she's…

Taking a sugary, fatty "treat" from the mouths of innocents, as childhood obesity levels in developed countries skyrocket? Oh, the humanity!

Remember, you're talking about individuals that can amuse themselves with endless gifs of kittens.

I see no reason not to eat the ice cream and candy. I mean, with a budget of 3300 calories, you should eat that crap every day. I imagine you're "bulking," which makes things even easier. It's unfortunate that not everyone here is (well, perhaps they are, albeit unintentionally).

I have no idea. I view it as self-mutilation, which facilitates weight loss through artificially impairing one's ability to adequately process food. In any event, I've yet to see an example where the same results couldn't be achieved by application of will alone.

Are there people that actually think they can become as gorgeous as cover models? Yeah, that would be rather naive (except the fake breast part, perhaps). Is wanting to lose enough weight to actually see your abs "unrealistic?" Not to me. I don't think most of those using this site as a weight loss aid compare themselves…

Let's see... User handle has the appearance of a first and last name? Check Hot button topic which has been discussed recently (and to death)? Check Very recent account? Check Initial post? Check Wrong sub-forum? Check Troll?

I think Gary Coleman's "having a problem" days are over.

I think the poster meant "specialty" snowflake...you know, the ones made to order. Wait, that can't be right? :huh:

This is the perfect example of what's considered verifiable information on this site.

Yeah, everyone should take advice concerning their dietary intake from anonymous individuals with no credentials and no accountability. I certainly can see no potential issues with that.

Yeah, you need to break up with the guy. No, not because he can get "better." So you can get better. I mean, come on, a guy whose wrists are smaller than yours? I'm not much for sexist stereotypes, but women want a man to be somewhat physically larger and stronger than they are (well, maybe this is the wrong place to…

I hope this is a troll post. Counting "exercise" when cooking at Thanksgiving? I'm sure anything burned (and what are you doing...butchering your own meat?) will be more than made up for by the indulgence of the day. I'm just waiting for someone to post some ridiculous "exercise" amount, so you can make sure you eat them…

I came here basically at the end of my weight loss journey. Since I didn't lose by following what most here preach, there is no point in allowing others to view my diary (and turning them from the Golden Path). The last thing I'm interested in is an unsolicited message telling me I should be eating back my exercise…

Food "addiction." Eating to ridiculous excess classified as an eating "disorder." Let's see...how many more ways can society find to minimize accountability for overeaters?

Just as showing pics of yourself stuffing wads of greasy food into your mouth won't make people eat indiscriminately. Can't blame folks for trying though.

Thank you! :heart: **thinking** Wait...all of us are? Even that one...and what about this other? Ok, then. :huh:

Hunger certainly doesn't make me "happy," but I know that, once I stopped overindulging and actually allowed myself to feel a bit hungry, food definitely started tasting better. It sort of reminds me of that Eddie Murphy skit about a starving man being given a cracker. :laugh:
