On personal experience, fats can be very satiating. Which is why my macros (in general but not that "fixed") is 30% fat, 50% carbs, 20% protein. The fat from eggs even keep me more satiated than fiber and protein mixture.

with how she replied to you, it's not hard to imagine the rift between her and her husband

Now I see why the husband was suspicious Very catty when you could have answered it in a more civilized manner.

are you checking your measurements? the scales can be discouraging. but understand that the scales is not linear to give you a picture i started at 108 lbs according to the scale..2-3 months ago the lowest number i have seen is 101. weight in 2 days ago, it was 105 but you know what? my waist shrunk from 27 to 24.5, hips…

There is a way: liposuction LOL

thats the consequence of posting your private life in public sites. LOL. Maybe the OP is fishing for "team her" against her "evil husband"?

Unless you want to gain back all the weight, there is none

I stated that the bottomline is caloric deficit and for one to not be frustrated about the scales, one has to be aware the effects of water weight -- carbs are converted to glycogen. So low carb will include water weight. Many people are not aware of this and they get frustrated if they see a 5lb increase in their weight…

IMO, "thinspiration", "real women have curves [bones are for dogs, etc]" and YES, most "fitspiration" are BS. They don't intend to really motivate just mask insecurities. It does not help than many of this so called -spirations are made up of photoshopped images

^^a lot of the quotes fall into the extreme... "love your curves". Uhm, don't all women have curves due to wider hips (compared to men)? Well, I've seen ladyboys ("women" but were born men) have curves....so what is the issue with the "curves" (or do they mean fat rolls?)

the only quote i agree with is about exercise. the others seem to be just poor excuses?! Curves !=fat rolls. Unless you're a ladyboy, women do have curves as dictated by estrogen

Which is where the macros and personal choices and necessity comes in. But people should be aware that the "cause" of real weight loss (in this case fat loss) is calorie deficit. Going low carb but not creating a deficit will create an illusion of weight loss because of depleted glycogen in the first days or weeks... I am…

Was your doctor, Dr. Lustig? Unless youre hormones are effed up, it's really hard to overconsume fruits since most of them have fiber which keeps you satieted

I think it is better for you to see a dietician

That is where the macro ratio come in. One does not necessarily have to go low carb unless medically necessary -- there are simple and complex carbs. Complex carbs have higher satiety than simple carbs. In that case, rice crispies vs potatoes. One would not feel the satiety when eating sugar compared to eating potatoes or…

Anything that includes forgery must be sued.

Leigh Peele's kinda off to me. I'm at around 25% body fat (calipers and some app tools -- to be exact 24.5-24.7) but I don't look that chubby like the 25% girl in her pics.

women: 20-30% (loved to look like them) men:15-20. Not a fan of "human muscular model" LOL

Jesus...I thought men were visual creatures? How come some dont want a "hot wife"? TBH, I dont want a husband who is obese and slobby.

invite him to the gym and encourage him to be.... "hot" topless

if you really feel it is man boobs -- get a sports bra or breast reduction

bottom line is calorie deficit. If she substitutes carb with other calorie dense food and do not create a deficit, I doubt the extra fat is going away. There may be some moving in the scales but that will be water weight. High carb, high protein, high fat, vegan, etc.. Bottom line to losing the excess fat is calorie deficit

Just eat real food but be sure to have about 30 mins before working out.

Did not lady gaga "Balloon up" when she said she went "gluten free"? I think some people have no clue what the heck gluten really is (hint: kind of protein!) and think that it is what is causing the "obesity crisis".

"Juice" candidate!

I dont think you understand.

For the sedentary person, probably. But for active person? Highly doubtful. The BMI does not differentiate lean body mass from fat mass as well as water weight. And there goes the problem with people who are more muscular since muscle is far more denser than fat. This is why there is such thing as "normal weight obesity".…

You have abs boobs! Just kidding OTOH, looking hot, boy! This is man boobs

I even saw a tofu labeled as "gluten free" in Albertsons in their "organix section". I think some people equate gluten free to "organic"

No "cool label" to attach to science-based diet. Caloric-deficit diet does not sound cool! LOL.
