Yeah I've noticed this phenomena but honestly the occasional junk or treat isn't going to take a lot of willpower to deny the next day. Yeah if you go on vacation and eat loads of crappy food it might be a bit hard but that's once a year. And honestly you have to live your life. If you are so concerned about weight gain…

Depends on intensity 20 minutes can be plenty. The important thing is you push yourself. If you keep testing your limits pretty soon you will exceed them.

If someone did that to me I would punch them out. Period. Even the most morbidly obese person on the planet it still a human being.

I just think it's all pretty funny tbh. I mean everyone was so wrapped up in "high fat diets are bad science pwooves it!" And now everyone is like "Carbes are tah devils science pwooves it!" Apparently people haven't learned their lesson yet.

Because exercising your body all the time and not eating enough to be even close to fueling the activity is probably just as unhealthy for you as being overweight in the first place. You can't just eat nothing and force yourself to burn burn burn. You WILL hurt yourself doing that. It's not less self destructive than binge…

Perhaps it's something up with your waterworks. I got something similar once. Though obviously not exactly the same. Turned out to be a mild urinary tract infection. A prescription cleared it right up.

Depends on your levels of physical activity. If you spend the majority of your day in front of a computer then binging on fruit probably isn't a good idea. However if you work on a construction site or have an athletic career or even good exercise habits you could probably scarf fruit until you feel sick and you would…

Personally. Let me start by saying that I don't recommend being zealous about a target weight. It's good to have something to aim for. But overly focusing on attaining a goal that proves unreasonable will only cause you to backslide. Happened to me so yeah .. I know. The truth is once you feel healthy and happy and…

His ears are actually antennas ZOMG IT'S A ROBITTT!!!

Yes it is. You just don't like it. Because I heavily disagree with you. Many paths up the mountain indeed. Use a real argument. Not one from a fortune cookie. At least before accusing me of being "unreasonable".

Corsets. People stopped using them for a reason peeps. Trying to compress your fat and organs into a singularity is a very very bad idea. If you mean to ask will it aesthetically improve my body shape .. probably ... yeah ... for a while. Just bear in mind you aren't actually shedding any fat or getting healthier you are…

It works for some people. But not for me. I've definitely heard some real success stories though so give it a shot.

I *kitten* to take my mind off being hungry.

k cool my bad there's no punctuation for sarcasm. Perhaps it's time the internet invented one.

I don't believe that applies. In order for weight loss to succeed long term then people have to make sweeping changes in the way they live. If this includes giving up their favorite foods then this will last until the next highly stressful event. Which considering the way the world works these days is probably arriving…

You aren't lack of self control != addiction.

Mon : 5min Tabata cycling when I get up. 1 - 1.5 hours moderate intesity lifting/resistance training. Tues : 5min Tabata cycling when I get up. 5km Run Wes : 5min Tabata cycling when I get up. 2 Hours walk (To and from Gym) 1 hour personal training(Content Varies but always intense workout) Thurs : 5min Tabata cycling when…

My red food is strawberry's. Because strawberry's are awesome ... and red. Also tomatoes. Blaming your lack of restraint on particular foods and restricting them is an insipid crutch doomed to fail.

yes this is possible because as an obese individual this persons fat is capable of generating large amounts of calories. which can cover rather larger shortages without impacting the energy available to lean tissue for growth. However fat is like a calorie farm the less you have of it the less calories it can account for…

When it comes to exercise individual mileage varies a lot. Especially when you consider how intense your workouts are. If you're workouts are draining grueling slogfests that leave you sore and aching it probably isn't a good idea to do them every day. However if you are only putting in the time to make sure you don't lose…

The more fat you have the more calories that fat can mobilize. Think of fat as a farm. If the field is bigger it can produce a bigger crop. Because each lb of fat can potentially produce the same amount of energy. This is also why when you get down to very low body fat percentages losing fat weight becomes so hard. Because…

Because 3lbs of WEIGHT is not equal to 3lbs of FAT. Carbs are only really a problem if you are inactive. If you have anything like a decent exercise habit they shouldn't be an issue. Even then as long as you maintain a calorie deficit you should still lose weight. This is a real good way to end up skinny fat though. Don't…

Well you can overdo it just like anything else. But protein is quite difficult to overdo. You have to be rather excessive with it over a period of time to do any damage and even then it isn't usually anything unfixable. Like others have said the problem becomes when you aren't getting enough fat and carbs cos your protein…

Crunches are actually kinda bad for you ya know. The only thing they are good for is making your ab muscles pop so unless you are already extremely low body fat they wont even do anything. They don't really improve the strength of your core either and in those volumes are liable to give you wicked abdominal pain when you…

Nah it's a pretty huge generalization. I'm just saying that calling him out because he "hasn't been on the board long enough to know better" Is also .. a huge generalization. And therefore a rather silly rebuttal. That's all.

True but you could be a bit nicer about it hmm?

This is exactly why I always grocery shop after I've just had a meal. My worst bit is when i go bye the bakery. I can resist stuff when it's just sitting on a shelf but ... that smell of baking happening. DAMN!

I sympathize I gained 34lbs over the winter after losing like 120lbs last year and some part of me feels like a failure. But I've been training thought and have once again declared war on my fat *kitten*. My advice is don't dwell on the weight you gained. Just say to yourself .. this far waistline .. this far and no…

Sooo .. being a long term member of Myfitnesspal somehow makes you an authority in the matter? And being new means your talking trash? I know there are people who make new accounts and come on just to troll and start arguments or to be contrary to popularly held opinions on this board but that statemtn was just very very…

Look guys here's the truth. Everyone's situation is different. I am NOT SAYING THAT YOUR METABOLISM IS DIFFERENT. But different amounts of fat and muscle in the body change the situation dramatically. For example someone with a decent amount of fat. Say .. 20 - 25%, Or even higher. Has a larger fat metabolism and can…
