you can loose weight on high carb diet, if you make a calorie deficit by limiting your calorie intake and exercising (even if you are eating "bad carbs")

i understand, as i heard such comments, and the sad thing is, the jerks who make such comments think they are "just joking" and "being funny". they don't realize that they are mistaking vileness for humor. may be you should call him out, post his message on your wall and let all your's and his friends see what a nasty…

you could modify your work out to burn more calories in less time, once you start working and get busy. for example, if you walk on treadmill, you could increase the incline and burn the same amount of calories in half the time. or some other kind of intense work out for 20 or 30 minutes that burn the same calories as your…

when you input your details at mfp, it will calculate your daily metabolic calorie burn (depending on your weight, height, activity level you put in.) say 1600 calories. that is the number of calories you burn with your normal activities. that means, if you eat 1600 cals, you maintain your weight. when you answer that you…

i am eating under 1200 calories a day (have been from the second week of January) and doing treadmill walk. i found that if i try to skip breakfast, i get hungry and develop "self pity" and over eat at lunch. so now i drink a latte with nonfat milk and eat a banana or a clementine or an apple for breakfast. i stick to lean…

i am also looking to lose 35 to 40 pounds. i have a skinny family (my husband and 2 sons) so when they eat at home (not school lunch or lunch at work place) i try to "nourish" them, so dieting is hard for me. also we cook south indian food at home, which is rice based, and lots of carbs, portion control is a problem too.…

i think this is just an isolated incident, one lady "from the school district" came to the school and was trying to show her power. all she showed was insensitivity and unprofessionalism. exactly the reason why even the people who do not directly work with children needed to be selected carefully. in many schools…

i think the key is calorie intake control. if you do not control it, no amount of exercise could help. like op, i find it easier to control cravings if i kept myself busy. also i tend to get hungry and end up eating some junk if i stay up late (to watch movies, or reading etc).

i find it creepy that people find it creepy! he is trying to help her by offering a visible motivator. if you are into teaching, or psychology, you might know that offering things that we can see and use are better motivators than self determination. (in other words, external motivators are good to enhance internal…

1. chick fill a spicy chicken biscuit 2. Thai fried rice and Panang curry from my local Thai eatery. 3. jalapeno chicken and rice noodles 4. indian parattas and butter chicken 5. pizza

same here dear! 2 weeks in, and i was gradually increasing the time on the treadmill, and was feeling real good, but today i had a cheat day! had 2 slices of pizza left over from my kids from yesterday, and in the evening my teenage son decided to make some cupcakes- devils food chocolate cupcakes and i ate two, and for…

sorry to hear about your recent heart break. what you need now is a way to find your "self worth" back. food satisfies and pacifies some parts of our brain and act similar to anti depressants, so we eat when we feel down and depressed. and we do not feel like exercising because we feel like " what is the point? i am not…
