Having a great diet does not cure bipolar. Sure it may have helped for you, but it certainly didn't cure anything. I have had bipolar for 10 years and I have still only managed to slightly control it without medication. I am happy it worked for you, but my diet is amazingly in check (see ticker) and I still struggle with…

With no protein I bet he looks likes a skinny, fluffy pillow.

You are correct, I missed the female part. My appologies. However I do disagree that 1 lb a week is too much for a male.

I would set yoru goal at gaining 1 lb a week. Meaning you would need to eat 500 calories over your TDEE daily. Also you can drop the cardio unless you are really into it. Just straight weight train. I am not sure if spot muscling is possible, I will lead that up to someone else to answer.

Small print on the chain's website says, "Buy one appetizer at $10 each (per person) and get free refills on same appetizer." That means if you want those mozzarella sticks, you have to really want those mozzarella sticks. And it pays to want a lot of them.

Congratulations on your cleanse I guess. Although you could've achieved the same results but uh just living. May I suggest 2 new popular cleanses that are all the rage? Lung cleanse. Give those lungs a break and stop breathing! Heart cleanse. This thing works 24/7 and needs a break! Good luck with both.

Then that's your problem. You are 31 lbs lighter, which means you require less energy to survive. As you lose weight you need to readjust your calorie intake because your body burns less to keep itself rolling.

Shoot I better put these 43 lbs back on then cause I did it wrong

And I guess some people are better at receiving advice than others :brokenheart: On a side not, drop the fad net calorie diet you are on. If you gained weight while netting 1400-1600 calories (given your height, weight, and age) then you seriously miscaluclated what you ate. Go to Scoobys Workshop site and plug in your…

She must be incredible. I can't imagine having a nutritionalist that lets me double my caloric intake and NOT gain any weight!!!!!! But in all seriousness, we all know where the problem is; its your eating and its absurdly obvious. Open up the diary.

I couldn't imagine only eating 700 a day. I just had 700 for lunch......

You are more than welcome to disagree :D Her weight loss has been stalled since March and that is when she increased her exercise. That is over 2 months of getting over the water retention. I realize weight loss is not linear as I myself have lost a decent chunk! Given her net calories (she claims), her age, her weight,…

I think most of us are missing a more pressing issue. The OP is claiming to only be eating 13xx-14xx calories a day and says her weight loss has stopped which is nearly impossible given her age, weight, and height. And no it is not starvation mode. Are you 100% sure you are logging everything correctly? If you were truly…

#2 is a fallacy. If you aren't losing weight while eating a certain number of calories, you aren't going to magically lose weight if you increase what you eat. If you are only netting 13xx calories a day, at 275 lbs, the weight should be falling off of you. Are you sure you weigh and log everything? I see a few entries…

How tall and how old are you?

For it to be a myth, people need to actually believe it first.

Sleeping less holds onto calories. Its the new starvation mode: Sleepation mode!

Where in the actual hell did you read that sleeping less holds onto calories -_- Some people these days. Just think about what you actually typed

If you are using MFP for calories, you should eat back about half of your exercise calories. If you aren't losing weight, its not because you aren't eating enough. You aren't losing weight because you are not in a deficit.

Crap got sucked into a 2 year old thread

I will never understand why people feel the need to restrict what they put in their body. I eat anything I want ranging from fast food to kale. Its all about calories in and calories out to lose weight, nothing else. I gaurentee you I have been happier than you will be on your "diet." I guess you plan to eat like this for…

Because most people implement temportary lifestyle changes. Then once they lose weight, the remove the temoprary modifications and regain the weight. They forget that these changes need to be permanaent.

Nothing else to see here folks.

Looks like you need to shed even more weight than you thought (gym buddy).

And can you elaborate on naturopath testing? I have never heard the term. Who did it and how were you tested?

Cut the cardio, cut the yoga. Lift heavier and for more than 20-30 minutes a session.

I am going to take a wild guess... To get more protein.....

Old thread. And the reason to not do it is because you can blow your entire week in one day. I can easily pound down 3500 calories over maintenance on a "cheat day" thus rendering all my hard work for the week completely useless. Have a cheat meal, not a day.

Your nutritionist is an idiot and I suggest you get a new one. The amount of caffeine in your drink will be COMPLETELY negated by the liquid it is in. For example, coffee and soda will still hydrate you. Yes caffience is a diuretic, but not enough to negate the liquid it is in.…

Lets all be honest. If you have been netting 600 calories per day for the past 8 months, you would have lost A TON MORE THAN 5 LBS before adaptive thermogenesis set in. You are eating WAY more than 1200 calories per day
