Depends on the diet you're on. If you're a low cal dieter, my diary won't do anything for you. If you're a LCHF/Keto/Atkins then send me a FR.

Bitter orange has always worked great for me.

BAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! So true. OP, please keep taking Plan B at least 4 times monthly until you develop some sort of cervical/uterine/ovarian cancer and can no longer reproduce. Please. As has been said already, more unplanned kids being paid for by welfare is the most stupid idea ever. (You can call me an @sshole, I call…

Wait, your doctor won't give you birth control because you have not yet had kids? Is he fcking retarded?? You def need a new doctor who does not want to see an unplanned pregnancy... unless you're one of those females secretly hoping to get pregnant in order to "ensure" your current relationship (that never ever works…

I love how the ppl who nay-say butter use man-made oils like margarine and canola and........ these ppl need to get a reality check if they believe animal fats are so unhealthy yet man-made oils are so healthy. The research is out there.

1) I'm eating more fruit and veg now than I did prior to my "excessive" 75% intake of animal fats. 2) This "excessive" 75% intake of animal fats has helped me lose 10lbs a month, kill my junk food addictions, eliminated my need for a multi-vitamin, and makes me eat way less food than I did before. 3) Macro nutrients should…

Yes. If you're suddenly worried about a particular person when you have never been concerned before, perhaps you should trust your instincts and figure out why you're concerned.

If those pics are recent, you are not fat nor disgusting. You're pretty wow. This!!! Yes! I look back at my pictures and where I had a six pack and was super thin and I think "how the eff did I think I was fat?!?!"

I've always seen a fat person in the mirror, even when I was thin. I tend to look at the bad parts and ignore the over-all sexiness. My bf is helping me change that; when I look in the mirror to see the reduction in fat, I end it by looking at all the things the bf says are incredibly sexy. So now I see a fat sexy person…

For fibro sufferers: I was originally diagnosed with fibro; it has since been altered to central sensitization, myofascial pain syndrome, degenerated discs, Willis-Ekbom disease, and arthritis. Yes, mofo'ing arthritis was originally filed under fibro. I remember full well the pain of lying in bed, the mere weight of my…

For a long time I've had super-heavy periods and cramps so bad I couldn't get out of bed. This last period was still super-heavy but the cramps were... normal. So weird, I didn't even think of a connection until you asked this question. I've only been on keto since Feb, so hopefully Niagara falls will calm to something…

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums/show/1511-reddit-keto Awesome resource for keto from ketoians. Also www.reddit.com/r/keto. btw, I accept all friend requests :)

This, plus the person who said to take measurements. Sometimes measurements are the better way to determine how much *fat* you're losing, especially if you're building muscle. Also, make sure you're eating only whole foods. And by whole foods (you'd be surprised how many ppl have no clue what that really means) I mean the…

Every other sentence I read I was like "omg, why is she with this d-bag??" He stays at your place only if you have food to eat; he makes @sshole comments to you regularly; not only does he eat all your food, but he eats all the food everyone else he knows has in their homes; he has no job, seems unmotivated to get a job,…

I have chosen to surround myself with supportive ppl who just want to see me healthy, regardless of what I do to achieve that. Anyone not supportive can gtfo. I can already hear it: "But they're FAMILY!" And? Just because you share genes with a person does not mean you need to take any sort of abuse. IMO, the remark your…

measuring spoons and cups = 4 scale = 10

This is called central sensitization. Thanks for the heads up, but I have been dealing with this *kitten* for about 5 years now. This is also what I am trying to get across to ppl. Fibro is used far too often, hell, it was MY diagnosis until I pushed the doctors to deal with each individual pain. And now look; I have…

Carbs 10% Protein 15% Fat 75% I seem to eat slightly higher protein and slightly lower fat than my macros in order to feel sated. However, the macros aren't specific enough for me to bump one up a % or two and the other down a % or two, so this is how I'll keep them. Edit: Well then. Thank you!

I could have sworn that MFP gives you goals to stay within. Isn't using this goals system all about learning a different way to feel about and look at food? These goals are also suppose to help us eat when we're hungry but eat the right things and not a lot of it. So, if you have eaten only 1200 calories, and you still…

My apologies, I didn't realize the OP was anorexic :huh: Besides which, anorexics use all sorts of tricks to refrain from being hungry; fizzy drinks, gum, chew and spit method... so many more I can't recall. Anorexics do get hungry as the body will do what it has to do in order to survive, and that includes forcing you to…

Do what your body tells you to do. If I gain an extra 200 calories to eat by walking, but eat only 1200 calories that day (instead of the 1800+200) I don't fret - as long as my body isn't hungry for anything. Same extra 200 calories on a different day and I eat the 2000 calories now allotted to me *because my body is…

What he said. Not to mention, unless you're morbidly obese, you need to choose between building muscle or losing weight. Muscle weighs more than fat; if you lose some fat plus build some muscle you may not see any difference on the scale. This is why it's important to take measurements as well as (instead of?) weigh…

Getting rid of processed foods in favour of whole foods (the stuff without an ingredients list) No more sugar! (Refined sugar, not this fairy-tale "sugar food group") Heavily limit my starches and natural sugar sources (aka fruits, berries, potatoes, rice, etc) Eat as much high fibre, low carb veggies as I can stuff into…

Go to YouTube and watch the documentaries "Globesity:The Fat Frontier" and "Way Beyond Weight". It'll give you a clearer understanding of sugar. The gist is, as little as 50 years ago we were eating breads, pastas, ice cream and sweets and ppl were healthy. The difference between then and now is that then it was a…

Your poop can be the first indication that something is internally wrong with you, as in internal organs. Poop colour can change if your pancreas or liver function screws up; a change in poop colour (or blood or mucous in your poop) can also be an early indicator of kidney disease, stomach cancer, Crohn’s disease,…

Agreed. That's a huge loss. Are you concerned over not losing your butt and back? Then focus on tummy and back tightening exercises and reduce your butt exercises. That's right, reduce your butt exercises. I use to be straight as a ruler, then I read that doing butt/hip exercises to reduce their size often works against us…

Winnipeg!! And Spring is nigh! We had a fab warm day today and the dogs and I enjoyed it as much as we could. Ppl can feel free to add me :smile:

Depends entirely on what kind of pain it is. Is it something like fibro where the pain does not signal injury? Then push yourself as hard as you can. Is it arthritis or some other pain that DOES signal injury? Then exercise until it starts to signal injury and stop. (My signal of injury is a sharp, stabbing pain vs the…

Thanks for your replies :) Turns out we have a new mystery surrounding this issue. My doc started me on clonazepam to subdue my PTSD rages and it has also eliminated the dizziness and nausea :/ It has also reduced my appetite to around 1100 calories a day; that could be a good trade off if my appetite wasn't so freaking…
