What about Pilates farts? I tried to go to a class for a while but I had to quit. All that core clenching, it just seems to... loosen everything up :blush: . It was the one activity they did in pairs that was too much for me. Pilates is a private activity in my case, it seems...

Well, you could get a slice of cauliflower, cut a hole in it, and then get some icing... No, seriously, I don't think there is. All the "baked doughnut" recipes I've seen work by using what's basically a cake batter, which means all the fat reduction from not frying it is balanced by more fat in the actual dough, so I…

That actually strikes me as a really interesting technical question. She's right, you know, blood heat is warm enough that most fats are liquid at that temperature, so I'd expect them to stay liquid and keep flowing round the system (or be stored in cells), not build up in deposits. If you pour fat down the sink (DON'T DO…

I mean, you really can be a bit flexible over the week and just go by your weekly average rather than the daily total. A lot of people do that.

That's really annoying, I don't have a solution, just sympathy - unfortunately there are a lot of bad entries in there.
-
I absolutely agree it's not worth worrying about. An idle academic interest is fine, but it's not worth anything more than that.
-
I completely missed the 150oz water thing. OP, water is heavy. That high turnover of water alone could explain your weight fluctuation.

I don't agree with this necessarily, fart foods are very individual. As a professional bottom trumpeter, I fart worst when I've been eating a lot of meat. Beans/pulses, despite their fearsome reputation, are the food that calms my innards best. Gut flora is complicated, and a lot has to do with what you are accustomed to.…

I know I, personally, am happier AND enjoy my food more when I'm not overeating to stifle emotions. It basically doesn't work.
-
Good point, is it possible you're undereating?
-
I wish that were the case. Bacteria that make you really sick often don't produce any visible change. This is especially true in cooked foods. Raw food like raw meat, milk, fruit, veg - when it goes off, it goes nasty, so if it looks fine, it likely is fine. But eg cooked meat or leftover cooked food you have to be much…

Most of us have been there! You did it once, you can do it again. May I compliment you for your faithfulness in weighing, even when the numbers were going up!
-
Log absolutely everything. No judgement. Then after a while of counting the real cost of these emotional snacks, see if you are motivated to find another way to deal with your emotions. Sometimes you just need to feel the emotions. Give them a moment, say "I'm sad", "I'm angry" or whatever. The feeling will ease by itself…

If I can find such an entry, I do, but you know how it is. Sometimes you're drinking some random Korean Mango flavoured milk you got at the international grocery store and you have to create a new entry based on the nutrition information, which is only in ml. I would still weigh it. It's close enough. That's when I'm not…

Midwife referred me to a dietitian after my first pregnancy appointment because I was clinically obese. I just thought I was a bit tubby. Oops. Unfortunately it's been up and down since then! Various things have been wake-up calls: - Joint pain. I have pronated feet and they can't take the weight, they flatten and throw…

It'll be a challenge, and you likely won't be perfect, so don't beat yourself up. Look at this as a learning experience. On takeaways, some tips: - Drink water or sugar free drinks, you can save a lot of calories that way - Similarly, skipping the fries can make a big difference. Burgers are not too bad on their own. -…

That can work. I do the reverse, my goal is 200cal lower during the week so I can eat more on weekends. It works for me. Try it out.

Yes, do try and get the anxiety treated. See your doctor. There are a variety of treatments, including medication and cognitive behavioural therapy. In the meantime, log what you ate - no excuses! - and tone down the anger with yourself, that will only further trigger your anxiety and create a vicious cycle. The anxious…

It happens. I really, strongly recommend logging it. Even if you can't remember exactly what you ate, make your best guess. Really seeing the consequences of your actions in hard numbers will make much more difference to your future behaviour than melodramatically punishing and condemning yourself. That will only lead to…

This can just be an individual variation. I fluctuate 3-4lb easily from one day to the next, more if I've done heavy exercise. You will get bigger fluctuations the heavier you are, and more fluctuations if your diet varies from day to day (mine does) compared to someone who eats the same thing all the time; but other than…

Ah, the dreaded "wall". They discussed this on a recent episode of the Half Size Me podcast - I'm afraid I can't remember which one - they said they thought it was just down to resistance to change and fear of the unknown. They suggested changing your focus, consciously not thinking of the big picture. Don't think "I'm…

Did he recommend a particular provider's office for fumigation treatment? Is this a personal vendetta? :D
-
I thought high resistance was better for bone health. I'm assuming the low resistance recommendation is more for cardiovascular fitness? This is the problem, "fitness" or "health" can mean different things.

That horrible feeling when you bite in expecting one thing and it's actually something else. Even if it turns out to be your favourite food, that moment is unpleasant! Makes me wonder how Heston Blumenthal gets away with his nonsense.

Yes, you retain a water when ill. Of course you do, you're healing. Don't worry about it, and don't force yourself to work out. Your body is currently focused on trying to fight a virus, which is difficult and exhausting. It's saving your life. Don't stress it further. Rest and drink fluids. Edit: I'm also ill at the…

They're all over my Pinterest feed, along with coconut hemp lattes and various sugar-free monstrosities calling themselves "fudge". Happy New Year.

I've never tried carob. Like others, I just hate it when things pretend to be what they're not. I'm sure cauliflower whizzed into little bits is lovely, but it's not rice. Nor is cauliflower bread, pizza, steak, potatoes or chicken wings. It's cauliflower. I suppose the good thing about these recipes is they show off how…

Just keep plodding on. Sometimes it's just a case of persuading the grumpy toddler in you that she can't always have exactly what she wants whenever she wants it. I find moderating food has a lot in common with parenting.
