I seem to be the only person on earth who cannot lose weight on keto. I think I am still eating too much protein and too little fat. I just started Metformin a few weeks ago and am looking into some other supplements for insulin resistance. Last year i lost about 30# but the only way I was able to consistently lose was to…

Your diary is closed. Impossible to speculate.

I understand that study involved 37 subjects. Not what I would consider scientifically conclusive. Also screw them.

Then let's try doing a child support calculator. If this guy is not your boyfriend but wants to have sex with you and you cannot afford contraception, make him bring the sponge, foam, film, or magic no-baby spray as an entry fee.

Word. :)

My last comment on this. If your doctor will not prescribe birth control for you, get a new practitioner. Seriously. Go to Planned Parenthood or really anywhere on earth and get some sort of method you will use. If you think condoms make your boyfriend lose his woody, try round the clock nursing and diapers. I really don't…

I think the same place you are able to get Plan B for free (I am assuming since isn't it about $50 a dose?), you can also get free condoms and reduced price pills or shots. Seriously.. it might be free, but it is horrible for your body and much worse than a low dose BC pill hormonally. And as a woman who has had three, let…

Regardless of the weight loss/gain issue, I would be remiss not to suggest considering a Plan A... I don't think Plan B is meant to be taken so often but only as an emergency. Have you considered a more permanent method that is workable for you?

^^ This. I have to say this is one of the biggest annoyances to me. Like in a business setting when I am essentially jogging in heels to keep up with other.. or am walking ten feet behind people who are strolling leisurely while I am nearly running.

YES to every single one of these. A few more? -Tall girls tend to resent you because really tall guys seem to like really short girls -Those obnoxious "shoe-free home" friends who require you take your shoes off when you come over and then suddenly you are pretty much invisible. -the top cupboards of the kitchen (not to…

The Biblical story of Daniel had him eating only vegetables and water because the meat was sacrificed to the king's idols, not because meat was bad for him.

^ this. I used the TDEE - 20% calorie limit and began doing ~3 lifting workouts a week. But the key component for me was that i decided not to give up no matter what. In the past, if I i didn't see dramatic fast results, I quit saying it didn't work. This time I vowed, no matter what, I would stay on a proven path…

If you are going by TDEE- X%, your activity level is already factored in and you are not supposed to eat back your exercise calories.

OH.. strong and rugged for sure. By far.

That 34 is an enormous difference!!! Great results and keep up the great work~

QFT. I know that I spent way too much time bumbling around doing what I hoped would work. I am REALLY grateful for the veterans on this site who have learned good science and what works and is willing to share this information.. for free... so that we can all succeed well. I don't see it as negativity, but constructive. I…

Isn't that Thumper's Mom's rule? I believe the golden rule is "Treat others as you would have them treat you" In this case, I think that educated MFP members are giving good and constructive input that they, themselves would welcome. But whatev.

I heart you for saying "efficacious". Shawing.

I am 4 foot 10 and I eat 1600 calories a day and lose weight moderately. I could never ever eat 800 calories a day.

By the same token, I could go on a different reality tv show and compete against other women in a catty way to vie for the affection of one man who is able to fool around with each woman competing... and hope that this might turn into my forever guy = marriage. TV is insane and eating 800 calories while being shouted at by…

Absolutely totally this. This this this.

I only consume this if it is non-GMO, on Cheat Day, if it is NOT during TOM or else it will convert muscle into fat. It is known.

Whisky - LaPhroiag. Neat... in a good glass with just a drop or two of water to open it up... mmmmm (edited to add lascivious details)

So much win here.

I haven't read through all the pages and I am sure, by now, someone has hit on the semi political side of this. It isn't even about blood diamonds (although that is a huge issue). I get irritated that the diamond industry is so manipulated and completely dishonest. If you read a little about the history of the deBeers…

Bump

I am wondering if you cut out something you are used to eating a lot of and your body is reacting with withdrawals. That said, when I cut gluten/wheat out of my diet, I stopped having fatigue.

This thread interests me... I have the same squat issues. I fight having my knees lead and I think I have the same type of stance when I try to get up from the squat. I have deloaded and have gone back to body weight squats and now light weight box squats. I feel like I am having to work insanely hard to get the form right…

yes. this. I love her work to begin with and had no idea why she had dropped off the radar. Her blog made me weepy and i related to a lot of it. I was just posting elsewhere how I had a blog brewing inside me concerning this topic, but I didn't want to put it out there because there is such stigma and shame concerning…

Interesting timing. I am in the middle of writing a blog about the debilitating effects of depression. Which can absolutely be crippling and make life very difficult to live. After a while, sometimes medication stops working. I have never considered going on disability for depression or anything else for that matter, but i…
