Thank you guys! This was helpful I will check the website and the app. Cheers!

Thank you guys for your help. Fully body it is then. Would you recommend using the weight machines at the gym? Esepcially the legs and quads ones.

I’m the kind of person who does not agree with “it is a holiday, just enjoy” attitude. Especially two weeks is a long time. Also nothing feels better than going back home and feeling good about your holiday. Tips that I personally follow in my travels. Book an airbnb instead of a hotel. This way you don’t feel like going…

Thank you everyone for helping. It seems that articles discouraging the use of antibiotics all goes back to one Israeli study and their sample is very small. It still kinda makes sense that using probiotic may hinder the body's ability to produce on its own. I think I will stick to eating healthy and fermented food with…

My colleague's father is a popular surgeon and he does bypass surgery as well. She told me that almost all cases regain the weight back in 1-2 years. I personally know one person who only lost in the beginning and then gained all the weight and more. And another girl but she was not obese she was only overweight so most…

I second seaweed. I also recently discovered these healthy meringues with 2 calories each with many flavors. I think you will find it in healthy stores.

One trick that I use is masking the food with spices I like. For example, I don't like chicken or tuna but I love curry so now I just spice whatever I don't like with curry and turmeric or even italian spices for other dishes. If it is mainly the texture then maybe you can change the texture. for example having minced meat…

What I don't understand is why many people here are judgmental and patronizing. There is a way to advice ppl if you think their diet is not right, if they ask for your opinion. This is quite common in FP unfortunately. Ppl are very eager to give their patronizing and know-it-all replies. Every person is different. Size and…

Thanks for the helpful comments. I'm getting a scale soon.

Thanks for the replies. I recently moved to a new country, so still on the hunt for a scale. But I will definitely do. Shadow soul, ignore my ignorance what is recomposition?

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you so much for your reply. It really answered my question on point. I think because I always quit after few weeks and so I've never seen that fat loss. Cheers!

Thank you for the advice. I already follow all of it except for the exercising part where I only rely on walking and hiking and I've lost most of the weight, but I really want to get into weight training or floor exercises.

Thank you dear! did you increase any increase in inches or clothing size doing Pilates?

Thank you for your reply. I'm not into tracking and I don't have a big appetite so I just eat healthy and move a lot.

You can always make a healthy version of English breakfast: e.g cook egg in little healthy fat, bake hash browns, and add healthy vegan smoked sausages. And get healthy takeaway later like sushi or dim sums or some middle eastern grills. HBD!

I have a big family and cousins and I understand what how frustrating it is to hear silly comments. To be honest I think it got to do more with insecurity and trying to make themselves feel better by making you feel bad.

I'm not sure about best food but from personal family experience, avoid coffee and spicy food. Also monitor how your body feels about milk, yoghurt, cauliflower and cabbage. Good luck!

The first and most important change that really helped me is constantly checking my iron and vitamin d level and making sure it is alright. Other changes: * Ordering water instead of juices or coke or diet coke or anything when they ask me "and what about drinks?" in restaurants * Sharing food always whenever possible…

Many of the almond milks in the market these days fortified with calcium

I was vegetarian for around 4 years on and off. Before that, I was one of those ppl who never gain weight regardless of what I eat. In the beginning, In the beginning, I lost few pounds but with time my metabolism got so slow and even though I started eating healthy vegetarian food (veggies, legumes, green smoothies and…

I personally think that the best way is: to cook your own (at least most of the time) and cook reasonably healthy food, healthy but not strict diet: lean meat, veggies, healthy fat, healthier carb. And make healthier choices when you do grocery shopping and when you eat or drink out. This way you will lose slowly and will…

I totally feel you! I used to be in the same boat so I found some of these popular exercises online and did it home. But I would stay hate that time of the day, and I would hate it when I'm exercising, and even though I saw change in my body it was so slow. Only until I started walking for long distance that I really…

I'm 5ft. I started at 152 lbs and lost 25 lbs and looking to lose 12 lbs till the end of May for my birthday. I lost it by starting cooking at home and turning food I love to healthier reasonable versions and also walking a lot. I dropped wheat but I would still eat carbs in different forms like starchy veggies from time…

Thank you all for helping. So I did body composition analysis and also bought an HRM. The test says that my BMR is 1130 kcal and I burn 400 kcal by exercising every day. How much should I eat to lose 1 pound minimum a week?
