  • The only problem for me is the ice cream sandwhich won't fill me up , but the celery will. Of course I rather have ice cream!
  • Celery is about 10 calories per 8 inch stalk and I need about 6 to fill me up. So what I do is take one teaspoon of mayo and put it on the side as a dip. The teaspoon of mayo is 100 calories and I eat 60 calories worth of Celery. For me it taste real good with mayo so its like a little treat snack thats low calorie.
  • I had to make another thread because 2 users were trying to make my original thread an arguement instead of being informative . I hope this thread can still civil with just info and learning.
  • You can as long as it keeps you full without craving. Me personally I need veggies to stay full , but I still eat stuff I like but way less of it. The celery is for those emergency days where you might go over your calories as I stated in #2 point of my 1st post.
  • Factors for the scale showing your weight going up and your eating properly 1) If you ate too much salt with your food , next day your weight will probably jump up. 2) If you did a workout that was much more intense then usual , some people will hold water because of inflame muscle. 3) You did not go to the bathroom for…

  • To give your body shape and tone . If you only diet you will lose weight but your body will not look as good because of muscle tissue loss.
  • One issue I do want to go deeper in because I can see this being a problem for some is weight yourself too much on the scale. The scale is a great tool but your weight can change day to day and even hour to hour. The best time to weight yourself is after you wake up in the morning before you eat or drink anything. I used…
  • I think sometimes we just want results too fast and when you don't get them it crushes us. As long as we beat it into our heads that this will take time but we will succeed then we will start to win. I hope all of you accomplish the goals that you set out to do!!
  • Well start by 1) Counting your calories 2) Track how much exercise you really do. 3) Have a reasonable goal , a healthy weight. After that you can think about other stuff like slowly changing the way you eat to include healthy foods.Goodluck I wish you the best!!
  • The scale is a great tool but your weight can change day to day and even hour to hour. The best time to weight yourself is after you wake up in the morning before you eat or drink anything. I used to drive myself nutty going on the scale too much too in the beginning. Some factors you must consider before bugging out if…

  • Veggies like sweet pea's , spinach , or kidney beans have a lot of fiber in them. The impact will be going to the bathroom more regular and your stomach will feel lighter after you eat. Also high fiber foods have a good amount of carbs , which will help fuel your workout.
    in Fibre?? Comment by FTF2014 April 2014
  • Fruit has sugar but yes eat fruit its good for you.
  • Please don't mention low carb here , some other people will take offense to it . Not me but there are some others that will. As long as you eat less calories than you need then you will lose weight. But if you eat too much even if its low carb you will still gain weight. I wish you success!! It doesn't matter if its high…
  • No you actually proved my point in the 1st post hahaha without even knowing it. Now newbies will know what to expect if they open those types of threads. You don't even realize you got outsmarted hahaha this is too funny. But thankyou for helping me prove my point , it was much easier with your involvement. Thank you !!
  • No the point of this thread was started to tell newbie not to open those types of threads or they will get attacked. Then the trolls came to attack me some more. But its over without now cause this is not the intention here.
  • Like I said I haven't logging the info on here but I do write down what I do in a notebook. As far as how good my advice will be its fine I don't do anything drastic plus it will help others who have just started out. Yes it might be different from what some people do here but nothing crazy or fad. I keep it as simple as…
  • Nah like I said I will just make my own weight loss thread and I won't go into any other threads on Weight Loss Help . That way maybe I can sure advice and if someone trolls I will just report them. I only debated for a while cause I thought maybe this would get resolved but you guys are just jerks looking for an internet…
  • Thanks for paying so much attention to me , Iam flattered.
  • Is that your answer ? What is construtive about a whole bunch of adults acting like children. But your right I will just make one thread about how I am losing weight and just answer any questions from there. But I will not make the mistake of going into other threads cause all you people want to do is argue.
  • They die younger than people who eat right and workout. So now your saying its ok to be obese wow .
  • If you dont eat right your body will not cleanse itself.
  • Ok I will give you an example I never promoted 1,000 calorie diet but you jumped headfirst saying What serious point were you trying to make concerning 1,000 calorie diets? Promoting therm? That's not a serious point, that's just asinine. Thats the problem people jumping on each other without reading or understanding what…
  • Ok waste money on what the OP said how can people do it WITHOUT BUYING PRODUCTS !! OP asked how to do it naturally. See your read what the OP said and didnt understand it thats why I jumped in cause everyone is jumping on the OP and didn't even read the question right. INCLUDING YOU AND YOU JUST PROVED MY POINT !!
  • What ??? I never promoted 1,000 cal diet but I won't attack those people like others do on here. I will explain like a mature adult to the person why they should not do a low calorie diet , but I won't attack them.
  • Yes I did say that in response to what everyone else said. You still don't get it , you really don't get the point of what Iam saying. I have no problem tearing down a bully. But someone in need of help I will always try to help them cause I dont know what problems they have in life besides the questions they ask here.
  • There is a mature way to answer people and a childish way. Your not helping anyone by belittling them. I don't do any of the crazy stuff that some people with disorders do , but I treat them like human beings which some of you can't grasp the concept. I rather help people then tear them down.
  • I think this young lady needs to sue. It seems Yale is targeting females and thier weight , I thought school was about grades and learning to be able reach a higher level job. Its sexist and weight discrimination rolled into one.
