Start eating more protein and hit the weights. Track everything and read some articles from PT's that know what works for different people, one size fits all is not the way to go. You are not heavy so if you do the work and eat right you can look and feel really good. Have a look at guys like Phil Learny talks a lot of…

Well who looks the idiot now, miss quoting the OP as she clearly states she is looking at a cleanse of weight loss. You want to post with adults then you name call and insult folk. Now go and stand in the naughty corner.

Working with weights and some cardio. As has been said you want to cut the muscle loss to a minimum, so using heavy weight will help this. Do some cardio, an elliptical, rower, or walking. Get those muscles working hard and repair them with plenty of protein. Good luck

Snake oil, this time a bottle of powdered grass and sea weed. Label it superfood and charge lots of money for it. Why would you waste your money when you can buy fresh fruit and veg for a fraction of that price.

What is your definition of eating clean? The answer varies so much depending on which school you buy into. Not wanting to argue, just interested.

Many years ago in the UK, a TV add asked if you could pinch an inch. With your forefinger and thumb pinch your body in various places and if the amount of flesh between is more than an inch you have too much body fat. A simple guide, but relatively accurate. The BMI charts are not that accurate as you have said, The Rock…

I'm with jruzer, been programmed to keep the mouth shut. Hey you look great; " so I didn't look great before then". I tried it and when the mood is wrong, nothing I say is right, so say nothing. I need to loose weight, it is enough for me when I do and I can notice.

The thing with running is to start at the top and work down. If you say you hate running; you will, hate running. So start there. The phrase should be; I want to enjoy a 5k run, so I am going to train to do it. I am going to buy some good shoes and plan the runs. Expect some hard days and some good days. I was never a…

Skinny is no fat and no muscle. You have little fat and good muscle tone. Buy yourself a scale that measures body fat as week as weight, not that expensive. If you want to put on muscle, you need to eat. Once you are happy with your maintenance calories, increase your protein intake by small amounts each day and check your…

Excellent advice. I will add that MFP breaks the macros down with a big bias towards carbs. I early eat more than 100g of carb per day, the bulk of my intake is good protein and good fat. I am never hungry; no insulin spikes. Diabetic chocolate and any other diabetic labels foods should be shoved up the moron that thought…

Only difference with weight watchers and MFP is the price. Eating too little can cause the body to slow its burn rate (metabolism) and hold onto the fat. Listen to the experts, they are experts. Why did you not loose on WW? Whatever caused you to not loose weight, should not be repeated as the cycle will continue. Insanity…

I read your post wrong, I thought it said you had eaten seven pounds of PB. I was impressed lol.

You need to eat somewhere else for lunch. 1200 for a lunch is a lot of high calorie food.

You cannot loose 1.5 kg of fat overnight. What you can loose is water, you sweat whilst asleep so you will loose weight. You also will burn some energy, converting the food you have eaten into heat. Also due to the time of the day and the rotation of the earth, your position in relation the core will have changed and…

22 calaories per 100g not going to cause you a problem.

Eating carbs will give you an insulin spike. Your body will shortly after want more carbs, the cycle goes on. Eat more protein, have a protein drink after the run and reduce the carbs. I am allowed 1900 calories per day to loose and I train six days per week. I eat an average of 70g of carbs per day and function perfectly…

Always working in the so called fat burning zone will do little for fitness, you need to mix it up. Don't eat at least an hour before training. If you are physically sick when you exercise, go see your doctor. http://www.coachcalorie.com/the-fat-burning-zone-myth/ and lots of other examples if you look at the science.

I don't believe in science, so can I use it as an excuse?

It is a lifestyle change, it taught me to eat a clean diet, I lost weight eating less food but put it all back on, I kept it all off with snake oil because I learned. How can using a product full of preservatives and thickeners for a few months and then relearning to eat real food be a lifestyle change or clean. If you…

I eat 20g of roasted almonds every evening with an apple, goes really well. I never eat the amount of carbs shown in the tracker; far too much, so I don't mind if I go over on the fat.

@Amblight, mainly eggs, or eggs and bacon as a treat. I can cook a three egg omelette in the time it take the coffee to brew. Pan already on the stove, eggs straight into the pan, whisk as I turn the heat on, add flavour, soy sauce etc if needed. Job done in a few minutes. With oats, the bigger the oats the better the…

If I want a carb based breakfast I would only ever eat porridge, made with good organic jumbo rolled oats. Cooked in microwave with skinny milk for four minutes then add a couple of tea spoons of maple syrup, loverly.

I eat breakfast every day. It varies from eggs, porridge, eggs with bacon as a treat. I am never hungry before lunch. Most people that crave carbs after breakfast have eaten a cereal based breakfast (oats work better) and get an insulin spike and then a drop. Eat more protein and or oats for less of an insulin spike, feel…
