  • I had to give up peanut butter once I realized I couldn't stick to 1-2 tbsp. I fell off the wagon 3 weeks ago and I've gained 20 lbs. I don't exercise at all. (Even lost 80lbs in 8 months without it.)

  • The reason the starvation of a reduced calorie diet works is because you're also reducing carbohydrates. If you just restrict carbohydrates you do NOT have to starve yourself. The second law of thermodynamics has NOTHING to do with dieting (Calories In/Calories Out.) Dieting has everything to do with controlling your…

  • Do a ketogenic diet. You'll get results quickly and you don't need to exercise until you feel like it.

  • That's so polite of you to dismiss low-carb/keto dieting out of hand like that. We all think we know best when it comes to dieting. You need to be more tolerant of others' view points. I'm sick of reading these posts of people hungry and starving themselves and not making any progress. Thinking that their willpower just…

  • And for everyone who claims that she just needs to exercise... Sigh. Exercise is a wellness tool. It is not a weight loss tool. Most people feel better and function better if they get a modest amount of regular exercise. On average across the population, thin people get more exercise than heavy people. People who exercise…

  • If you want to lose weight you need to be in ketosis. Don't count calories, count carbs. If you keep your carbs under 20g per day (and don't eat them all in one meal), you will lose the weight you want. Eat plenty of protein and fat and eat to satiety. Stop starving yourself! I'm at ~3.5 months and I'm down 42lbs. Granted,…
