I had to check what seitan was. I don't know if I will find gluten here though. Maybe an Asian store? I will definitely check it out. Whey powder is not real food ;). I would like real food. :)

I live in Switzerland, the land of quark! (just kidding). I tried quark, very low calorie and high protein but I don't really like it and it ends up going bad. I tried mixing it with sugar, not much better. I will give your ideas a try. What kind of fruits?

I didn't read the other answers. Two scenarios: this guy is a jerk and is doing it on purpose and enjoying it. Nothing to do here except avoidance. Or this guy has no social skills whatsoever and doesn't understand what he is doing. I actually have a friend like that, who has said things to me like: While eating "You eat a…

Not the subject, but do you Garmin users find Garmin accurate? I am thinking of buying one.

No it doesn't work for me. If the "verbal abuse" is from someone I don't care about, I will brush it off (but it still hurts a little) and forget about it. If it is from someone I care about, I would probably have a meltdown and EAT my heart out. My mum tried the tough love approach, which resulted in crying and fighting…

You need to spend 3500 kcal more than you consume to lose one pound of fat. Whether you do that in a day or a month is your choice. And calorie is a unit that measures energy. So one calorie is one calorie, same as one pound is one pound and one °C is one °C.

How did you manage to look so toned after losing so much weight? And you completely changed your body shape! You look amazing, good job!

How can anyone be full eating 700 kcal a day?

Hello. I became a vegetarian when I was 12. I started eating meat again at 21. The reason? My hair was falling out ( I thought I was going bald!), I was lightheaded, my nails were breaking... I went to the doctor who ran some tests and it turned out I was missing iron, biotin and a bunch of other stuff. I was medicated and…

I have added photos to my profile. You have to click on them to see more than my middle section. In the one where you see my back you can see the rounded, slumped shoulders. I have wide shoulders too! (I notice that when trying out dresses or shirts that don't feet around my shoulders, but are too large around my breasts).…

Peanut butter is such an American food. :) I'm not even sure I can get it here (Switzerland).

I'm 65 kg, and 165 cm which translates to 143 pounds and 5'4 (?). MFP says I should eat 45 g of fat a day. I am eating around 35 g of fat a day. I am eating at a deficit, my goal is 1350 kcal a day (TDEE - 20%) but I almost always go over so I am mostly eating at 1600 kcal a day which is fine with me.

Thank you for your answers. I'll eat normal yoghurt instead of light and add olive oil to my diet. I cooked a lot with olive oil but I stopped because it has so many calories. Avocado is also a good idea. As for what I eat, I absolutely love pasta, rice, bread and all kinds of sugary stuff. So in order to eat those and…

YES! I do mean slow down the metabolism.

I can sit and watch and write it down, but it would be weird. I think my parents would be worried I would be developing an eating disorder if I did that. I talked to my mum about counting calories and she doesn't think it's a good idea. My parents just think I should eat healthy and exercise. Plus, I am very touchy about…

How do you estimate?

I though the gaining back was in part due to the metabolism being slower after a restrictive diet.

No! But 1/ English is not my native tongue and 2/ I am new to dieting so I may oversimplify things. For me eggs, meat and fish are protein and fruit are sugar/fiber. Carbs= pasta, potatoes, rice and fats= oil, milk, butter

Thank you for your answers! You can read a lot of stuff about your body adapting and your metabolism dropping by as much as 50% when you don't eat enough calories. I was just imagining myself not eating anything and getting fatter :S. So I can expect to gain weight this week but then I could lose steadily if I have a good…
