I did log everything and I did not eat more calories on low-carb then now. And I did not feel that my work-out is that much intensive now. I know that carbs make it harder to lose weight because of the insulin and that is why I watch which carbs I eat now. I read that there are some type of protein that also cause our body…

I switched to maintenance for about six weeks. I was reluctant to do so since I am impatient and the summer was about to come. But it was actually the right thing to do. I did not gain weight in that time and afterwards I started to lose really fast again. This time only 7 lbs but in about 3 weeks which is pretty good…

I never felt that my body was mine, it always felt wrong and alien. So even if I often forget how big the difference is, I now feel that I have nearly reached the body that I should actually have and that it is healthy and fit and I really really love that feeling. So yes, it made me happy. But I have lost weight before in…

Why can't you just like posts here? Also: just because people repeat that there is evidence doesn't make this true

That's one of the things I love about men: The inner scientist of many of you is a thirteen year old boy. ;)

Sorry, bad translation into English. The right word would be "secondary sex characteristics". I was not aware that the term was that misleading as to inspire several replies. Sorry for that

Sorry, I don't really get the point of A). As far as I know women do have higher BF% as men and I thought that for women BF% 12-20% is for athletes, 20-25% is still fitness level, 25-32% is still acceptable. Is this info wrong? You have to consider that women store quite a lot of fat in and around their primary and…

Those pills won't help you. We have established that by now. So if you are not losing with what you are eating I see three possibilities: 1. You eat more than you think or that you are aware of. Logging everything would help. 2. Breakfast, dinner and the snack are higher in calories than what you need and thus there is no…

I have been teaching pedagogy for nearly two years now and I took psychology classes in university: From a scientific perspective spanking will probably not get you what you want: In most cultural and social circumstances spanking - and an authoritarian style of education - is linked to psychological and social issues…

Thanks a lot (and also thanks to the others). The links are interesting interesting :). My theory was that the weight gain might be due to some stress induced water retention. I did take care how many calories I ingested, but I had no safe way to determine whether I gained fat or water..

Inulin... I just love Inulin. It's just fiber, but it adds some sweetness and Inulin and similar fibers are used to make non-fat diary taste like "normal". I add it to all my low-fat diary (unless it is something salty..) Edit: And I find it makes things less bitter

I totally get why what he said hurt you. And showing you pictures of celebs he liked is very insensitive. However, I find that some people here overreact suggesting divorce or counselling or that he is an idiot. He might be insecure or need time to process the change and if that is the case it might be best to talk again…

I think that the 9 or 10-inch rule is not very useful. There's gotta be a difference whether you are 5'2 or 6'3... using the same 10 inche difference sounds weird. But I guess it is nothing really scientific anyways

Hahaha this is my test result: Sorry your body is not in the 4 shapes we calculate Muy bust is 41.5, waist 30.5 and hips 40.

What? Why Romanian? What's wrong with Romanians now?

You see, this was too much: You could have continued the whole night but after that you just seem too much like a troll or highly delusional.

"I no longer have to coerce your daughter into being FWB. She's already down." Did he just write that? This is wrong in so many ways...

They might like you because they don't know better and I guess what you mean by "damaged" is that they contradict you. Also: The younger many girls are the more they care about beauty. In every girl's life there comes the point where they start caring about personality and maybe this when they stop liking you for who you…

Anybody noticed that OP wrote in another post he dated only girls that were 8 to 12 years younger than him (between 15 and 19)? I guess he desperately needs a girl that makes him feel accepted. He seems really insecure. I guess this is why feminism scares him that much. And why he reduces himself in some posts to the mere…

Actually, I know many feminists that do fight for equal rights. For example they fight that men have the same chances to have their children live with them after a divorce as women. As I said: The term is historical and there were intents to find a better name but as feminism grew it is kind of established and it is harder…

There is more than one type of feminism nowadays and many of those branches don't push for more rights for women but for equality and against the ideal of what the OP (and others) might call alpha as the only acceptable personality type of men. The term feminism was coined when women had much less rights than nowadays and…

OMG what a freak

Great reply. thanks

This!

I need feminism because women aren't burgers.

BUMP to read later

When I started I ate about 6 small meals a day and I ate a huge amount of fibers: I bought Konjac noodles and ate them like normal noodles. They are filling and have practically no calories (They do have some and I logged them, but my point is that they make you full without having many cals). I was fine with that. However…

I want to join the badass club, too. I want more cool MFP friends. ;) I have lost 27 lbs and I want to lose another 27.

IMHO many here have a very simplistic view on the human body: Obviously you put energy in your body, your body works with that energy and if you put in more energy than your body uses your body will store it and if you put in less energy your body will try to meet its need in other ways. However, your body is a very…

That's cool. So then I can just train for strength once I reached my goal weight and if that will get boring I can care about other things :) I really thought by saying you can just gain or not gain he said that hypertrophy vs. strength gains was nothing that could be influenced...
