im not an expert this is just my opinion. also im semi-new. but.. its true you can burn calories doing any intensity or duration but for the maximum efficiency you need to find out your heart rate zone and then stay in that zone for at least 20 minutes. If you have all day long to work out and you don''t get bored then any…

its not your fault. if you google the word "hyperpalatability" it will tell you how modern food is designed to be sooooo goood that it boarders on drug like reward system in the brain.

calories are what make you fat. it is the whole premise of how MFP works. I was vegan and semi-raw vegan at my fattest. you might not get colon cancer but you can get fat on any type of calories. there were obese people before refined sugar was ever invented. before ovens were invented too probably.

I used them and followed their instructions for about a month. If i lost any weight it was not more than 1 pound. the shakes were 250 calories each. a canister had 10 servings. The whole time I thought.. why don't i just eat 250 calorie meals instead of drink this stuff? the shakes did not suppress my hunger more than 250…

most diet vegetables are really depressing to me . you know like celery and carrots and lettuce. other than lettuce i dont eat those. the ones that i do like are: radishes jicima slices cucumbers and pickles i pounce them on NOSALT sometimes i put yellow ballpark mustard in a saucer and eat that with a small spoon. i know…

Follow MFP exactly. if you have sushi for dinner, record the soy sauce, wasabi, pickled ginger. EVERYTHING. I got a scale to weight food and discovered 1-tablespoon is not the size I think it is. Eyeballing volume and portions dosnt work for me. use a scale. for activity level it sounds like your active or very active.…

instant coffee crystals and cold tap water and ice and truvia.

how did eating fewer calories result in weight gain? if we could figure out how you did it then we could cure world hunger!

His weight sounds ok with me but if he wants to gain weight I can tell you this.. I gained 45 pounds in 1 year when I quit smoking (9 years ago). Eating high calorie foods like you listed is vague because I dont know how much of them he eats. I know a lot of elderly frail thin people who only eat cake and pastries and ice…

are you sure your symptoms arnt from phentermine? I remeber that fen/phen combo was dangerous and killed people like 10 years ago. I understand phentermine alone is safer but still.. I had no idea what Lipodene injections were so I googled and the symptoms and side effects that came up said PROBLEMS WITH URINATION.

I forgot to mention MFP said my potassium was low. since i have high bloodpressure anyway, I switched to NOSALT which is potassium chloride. it boosted my MFP potassium up 100%

if you google CARMEL COLOR CANCER you probably wont drink pepsi any more. if you think sprite or 7up or fruit soda is better because it dosnt have carmel color, then google BROMOLATED VEGETABLE OIL (BVO) and you will never drink sprite or 7up or fruit soda again.

Not only do you look much thinner but you de-aged yourself by at least 8 years in my opinion. The new you looks younger,

I think overdeveloped machine built physiques look awful.

My friend had her gallbladder removed and she said anything with seeds gave her problems. She did not have diverticulitis. She said after her gallbladder surgery anything with seeds did it. and by seeds i mean what is inside tomatoes or strawberries or raspberries. all seeds. not just sunflower seeds etc. If you get cold…

my smartphone is almost 6 years old and really slow. MFP takes ages to load and I literally have to wait like 90 seconds after pressing any button, because of memory lag. Its dreadful. But I log my calories. For things that I eat daily or often and know 100% calorie amount, :smile: i use the ADD CALORIES feature instead of…

HAHA!

a drunk middle aged woman at a bar told me i looked like rob kardashian and she meant his new obese look not his old look and i was mortified.

So they are saying drinking 1.05 glasses of red wine per day is heavy drinking?

Hi I never used WW but when you say you enjoy the meetings I totaly get that and have maybe a suggestion for you. you can go to over-eaters anonymous (OE) meetings for FREE and then use MFP for FREE. Even if you don't consider yourself an over-eater the meetings are there for us free of charge and you can get the type of…

I know it sounds bizzare/corney but when I can't get to a gym I use charles atlas dynamic tension it really works when you can't get to a gym or have access to weights you can learn the movies on youtube or diagrams online you can also use those rubberband cord things they work great for toning. these two things will keep…

I tried every fad invented and i was vegan for years and vegetarian most of my life. I mostly eat organic. I can tell you the only thing that ever worked for me and with ease is as follows: If you follow the MFP calorie budget and do some type of cardio/aerobic exercise 30 minutes a day you will lose all the weight you…

For me the danger is not the calories in alcohol, its how hungry alcohol makes me. After 4 drinks I really don't care if I go over budget or not. bad. It destroys any type of impulse control I may have, where food is concerned.

It is super boring. I catch up with my reading by putting every book ive wanted to read, in audio format, on my ipod, listen to that while doing elliptical machines for 1 hour.

I think of it like financial accountability. I constantly have to check my bank account. Record everything. Decide priorities. I have do it with money and I have to do it with food or I lose track. It's just a fact of life for me im fine with that. Its not traumatizing at all.

I don't blame you for rejecting shakes. Egg white omelet fried without oil. such as microwave. or eggbeaters^tm. 0 fat. 25 calories. 5g protein per 45 gram serving. Hard boiled egg whites. Fat-Free dairy products. Things made into "fat free" are kind of freaky in my opinion, but they really do cut down the calories! Sadly,…

I think you should eat back your calories. You said you don't, but then say you cheat sometimes, so im not sure what what that looks like on paper. I eat all my calories back and it keeps me from being crazy hungry. If I eat back calories im FINE. I think of calories as a type of money. like $. can't always get what you…

On the weekends I drink my exercise calories back instead of eat them. I switched from beer to vodka. Beer gives me a gross beerbelly and MOOBS. There are articles on evidence that beer is more fattening in those areas that an equal number of calories from something else, so I drink vodka soda lemon. 64 calories (when not…

I wasnt able to see your diary. Make sure you eat back all your exercise calories. Make sure your ratio of carbs fat and protein are on track in the pie chart. If I had to guess without seeing your diary Id say you arnt getting enough carbs. They are crucial for sustained energy. >>>>GLYCOGEN is your friend.

I use an elliptical trainers computer to calculate my heart rate zone. Mine is 123. I maintain a heart rate of 123 for 60 minutes and then stop. I Don't know if thats good or bad but its what I do. I feel like it has increased my daily life stamina TREMENDOUSLY.
