I don't mean this sarcastically. Try hypnosis.

I did 1200 calories diet for 2 months. I switched all my regular foods to fat-free, surgar-free, diet or lite versions wherever possible. This cut down on many calories. Invent low-cal recipies: instead of pizzza i melt fat-free cheese on a racecake in the microwave; and then put on sliced jalapeño peppers and garlic.…

1. a book by dr parricone is supposed to be good ive heard j=lo uses it to get great skin. I havent read it myself http://www.perriconemd.com/category/the+doctor/diets/the+28-day+diet.do 2. this other website i use a lot it has all nutritional data and gives each food a quality rateng*** it also tells you the foods…

For two years I ate the VEGETARIAN burrito at chiolte. it says VEGETARIAN on the menu. After 2 years I discovered that the pinto beans in the VEGETARIAN burrito is cooked with pork. I WAS NOT HAPPY.

vodka club-soda with lemon

I buy everything that is lite, diet or fat-free sugar-free of the things that I would eat normally anyway. I eat all the same stuff I ate before but I will opt for a lite version if one is available; every time. I do not eat celery or other "diet" type foods. I eat all the same things as I did before but like I said,…

If you quit you will probably be nervous energy and be able to run or do elliptical trainer more than ever. you can try to fixate on working out instead of eating food during the first few weeks of quiting. If youre like me you will feel super-powered when you first quit and be able to work out more than you ever did…

I would stop MFP and all dieting until you recover. The flu can be very serious.

I did a few cheat days and gained 5 pounds back. and fast.

if you plan on doing 30 minutes of elliptical every day thats 200 calories (according to my elliptical machines computer). If you eat back your exercise calories like MFP wants you to, thats 1400 calories a day. Which I think you said is what your doctor wanted to see you at? Sounds good to me.

Work out and eat the exercise-calories back. That is the only way I keep from feeling hungry. Im on 1200 calories but I eat back 400 more per day. I've maintained it for 60 days in a row because I eat the additional exercise calories.

I saw on tv JOAN COLLINS say she never drinks diet sodas because she only see's fat people drinking them.

is this post some type of joke?

yeah because the countries that have people who live on rice are so fat. ?

post punk kitchen is all you need. i have 50+ cookbooks i never bother with them i just go online to http://www.theppk.com

This isnt the best answer by any means but you can lose weight on junk food or low quality standard american food if you just count calories.

for saving time i use frozen diet dinners . the low-cal brand. someone made them by hand somewhere, so thats hand made right? :) for saving time option 2 i use a pressure cooker. something that takes 1 hour to cook can be prepared in 15 minutes in them. the new kind are safe, believe me :)

i've read what wikipedia has to say about starvation response and after having read it i fail to understand how anyone could still be considered in "starvation mode" with a belly full of fat and adipose tissue? PERIOD. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starvation_response

the point in giving out free samples is to encourage someone to buy the product, so i don't see why ignoring large people would accomplish that goal, in anyones mind.

this reminds me of a clip i saw of the singer wendy o. williams getting kicked off a talk show for saying ice cream is bad for you. (it is by the way). Some people are way too blunt but at the end of the day, she was right. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idpkBfAv7uc

I lost 20 pounds at 2 pounds per week using MFPs preprogrammed advice. It worked great for me. Be sure to work out and eat back your exercise calories. Thats how I kept from feeling hungry. I'm a 6 foot tall man.

you should join the MFP vegetarian or vegan community. if you post questions or comments in the general message board, like the above posters have already done, you will just get pictures of steak. or bittermost creepy sarcasm. Ive been vegetarian for 25 years and direct all comments and questions about that topic away…

"eating clean" . as if that means anything.

You can eat anything you want if you stay inside your calorie goal.

the calories in your coconut oil is as much as my entire lunch, or dinner. Do you need it?

If it makes you feel better I think that kind of heckling is more about sexism than anything else. . If you want to get really intellectual about it i think its a type of sexual harassment and not really about your weight or how you look.

thats like saying balancing your checkbook is pointless. I guess it is if you have unlimted money.

I would ignore it

alcohol makes me go over, when i do go over.

i like it too. and do you know what? if you look at the box it says the calories are for UNCOOKED. and if you want to know the cooked calories you need a microscope. i have very very good vision and i can't read what it says on the back of the box where it says cooked/uncooked. its so evil of them. i wanted to tell you…
