Keto works for me, combined with IF. There are people who have maintained keto diets for years on r/keto. Keto isn't as inflexible as some pretend. For example, it's easy to get a double bacon cheeseburger without condiments or a bun, and if you're feeling adventurous most places have low carb salads too (maybe lay off the…

The Generators - Walking Away. The older I get, the less interested I become in forming bonds with people.

I was not regularly eating to the point where I was stuffed when I was gaining all this weight. But I guess you know me better than I know myself.

Eating to satiation is what got most of us here in the first place.

A couple donuts and a medium iced coffee from Dunkin' Donuts. That was about ten hours ago.

I've always wanted to lose weight, but what inspired me to go out and buy a scale, join MFP, make a serious commitment to weight loss, etc. was me taking pictures of myself and being unhappy with what I saw. I also kept outgrowing my clothes because of the weight I was piling on, and that made me feel very ashamed of…

The Wendy's Ultimate Chicken Grill Sandwich isn't a bad source of protein if you're craving fast food.

I simply cannot give up sugary beverages. I love them too much. I can easily drink multiple cans of soda a day. My weight loss stalled for a while. I'm now skipping lunch so I can fit the soda/sports drinks into my calorie deficit. It helps that I have a job, which keeps my mind off of food.

My junk food confession is that I can't give up sugary beverages, so I skip lunch to free up the calories for me to consume the stuff at night.

Well, no one says anything when men are the ones being shamed. Men have body image issues too. Five to twelve percent of male high school students have used steroids by the time they are seniors. Off-topic, I know, but isn't the entire premise of viagra that you as a male are inadequate and need this magic drug to make…

I do agree that the ad could have been done in better taste. But this is a business, not a charity. Is it that it's socially unacceptable for larger women to walk around in bikinis, or is it just that most larger women choose not to walk around in bikinis, so if one does, she is drawing attention to herself by being…

So, you're saying they should waste money on another ad targeting men even though they have less male customers just so they won't have people calling them sexist? You've obviously never seen a fat, shirtless male being laughed at for being, well, fat and shirtless.

How is it sexist, though? They could have easily done the exact same ad with a male. The reason they didn't is because they likely have more female customers than male. In fact, here's the very quote you posted: "MOST of them are women. How could we possibly be sexist?" You make money by targeting your ads to the people…

Down 35.6 pounds. At 5'5", I made my commitment to lose weight at 248 pounds, and today I weighed in at 212.4 pounds. I'd like to weigh somewhere around 130/140/150, I figure I'll know when I've hit my goal. I'm really excited that I'm so close to weighing under 200 pounds for the first time in my adult life.

I work as a courtesy clerk in a supermarket, and I realized that by spending as much as I do on my typical lunch breaks, I was spending most of my paychecks just feeding myself. So, I cut back my spending and will either just drink water or I'll eat something small to keep me going. Since then, I've started to lose some…

I like Kraft's Classic Caesar Dressing. I don't do "light" dressings, and I don't particularly care for vinaigrette or Italian style dressings. I want something creamy. 80 calories for two tablespoons isn't horrible, I think. Kraft also has a Poppy Seed Dressing (80 calories for two tablespoons) which I haven't tried, but…

Not really. I had bad eating habits, but my parents added fuel to the fire. My mom cooks whatever the hell she wants to for dinner, then it's somehow my fault that I'm overweight. Don't give me that "a calorie is a calorie" crap either. Yes, you could lose weight if you ate 1600-1700 calories worth of Skittles every day,…

How much fiber are you eating? I am ravenous if I neglect my fiber intake. Protein is filling, but then I get hungry again in a few hours. Fiber curbs my hunger throughout the day.

To better my health and to feel comfortable in my own skin. I'm doing this for me and no one else.

You want naturally high fiber foods like fresh fruits and veggies. Protein doesn't do it for me, at least not without the fiber.

Well, yes, but is that such a bad thing? I shouldn't have to apologize for having a good life.

I work in a supermarket and they sell salmon jerky, but it's a dog treat. :D I usually get Greek yogurt on my lunch breaks. I can also eat chips/carrot sticks and hummus all day. I like nuts, jerky, edamame is pretty good too. If I'm in the supermarket, I like to pick up Morningstar Farm veggie burgers. The faux chicken…

I'm about to try Kashi GOLEAN again for its fiber content. I don't normally get enough fiber, so any way I can sneak it in goes a long way.

Anyone can make a claim, though. The question is if there is any validity to the claim. When we don't question accusations, we get the Salem Witch Trials.

If I don't get enough fiber, I'm ravenous throughout the day. No matter how much protein I get. I simply cannot stay in a calorie deficit without fiber. Where the fiber comes from matters too. I've found that the Fiber One cereal (Nutty Clusters & Almonds) does nothing for me. I ate nearly an entire box one day and it…

Snack on foods with more fiber. Protein doesn't really fill me up unless I eat like 40-50 grams of it in one sitting, and then I'll just be hungry again anyway in a few hours. Fiber is what satisfies me and gets the weight dropping off for me. Blackberries, cranberries, guavas, kiwis, pears, pomegranates, raspberries, and…

I was raised in a non-religious household. I guess my mom and dad would consider themselves Christians, but we never really talked about that kinda stuff. I, however, am an atheist and see little value in holding up tradition for tradition's sake. B) No disrespect meant.

I like Greek yogurt, beef jerky, and the Healthy Choice meals (I like to pick out the ones with an okay amount of fiber).

I tried it (bought a pair of dumbbells a year ago right at the start of me deciding to lose weight) but I don't enjoy lifting at all, so I don't do it. It's my loss, I guess, but I'm more interested in doing something sustainable. Forcing myself to do something I don't enjoy would be miserable.

I like to eat small chunks of Parmesan cheese. :smile:
