  • I know it's very difficult, as a guy I am going through similar stuff as you. I always obsess over my weight and what I'm eating - I'm always worried about gaining weight, eating too much, etc. What I can tell you is that your perception of yourself is probably inaccurate. When you think you're getting "fat", you're really…
    in Maintaining, sort of...wish this was easier. Comment by danfeldman494 June 2014
  • Strawberries are VERY low in calories...one cup of strawberries has about 50 calories. That one cup also contains 3 grams of fiber, which will really help fill you up, plus tons of vitamins and minerals. Also, unsweetened almond milk...one cup only has thirty calories. Often I'll put some berries in almond milk and add…

  • Hey there, based on your height and weight, you have a BMI of 24, which indicates that you are at a healthy weight. That being said, I understand that you still may want to lose excess fat. For people who do not have very much weight to lose (such as yourself) eating less and doing more cardio is probably a BAD idea. As…
    in Plateau Advice? Comment by danfeldman494 June 2014
  • Dietary fat is an important part of the diet, and going too low on fat is definitely no good... that being said, some people perform better on lower fat diets, and others function better on higher fat (and lower carb) diets. There are actually various genetic factors that may determine how you respond to dietary fats vs.…

  • http://examine.com/faq/how-do-i-stay-out-of-starvation-mode.html "Starvation mode, according to the above definition, is for all practical intents and purposes a myth" As others have said, breakfast is not a must. If you feel better without eating for a few hours, this is perfectly fine. What is most important is that,…

  • I think that we have all been there... When I'm feeling ravenous, I try to eat what I consider "free" food...basically nonstarchy veggies, strawberries, and watermelon. Strawberries and watermelon are both VERY low in calories, and strawberries are loaded with fiber, which will help fill you up...focus on low calorie,…

  • Totally fine. Unless you're at risk for cardiovascular disease, or you have high triglycerides, there is nothing wrong with eating whole eggs. From examine.com..."There appears to be no increased risk (stroke and coronary artery disease) in persons consuming 1-6 eggs a week or 'greater than six eggs a week' relative to no…

  • Agreed! You're definitely getting great results! Always great to see a woman who's into lifting! Keep it up!
    in Weight lifting butt progress, Can you tell a difference? Comment by danfeldman494 June 2014
  • I would definitely suggest some strength training! Pushups, pullups, squats, lunges, etc are all great choices to build some muscle. Having more muscle will actuallu make fat loss easier - muscle mass "competes" with fat tissue for glucose - so those extra carbs can feed your muscle rather than your fat. Plus, muscle…

  • Hey add me! My name's Dan. I'm studying dietetics in college, and I used to struggle with my weight myself. I'm now very enthusiastic about fitness and I really want to help out others with their problems regarding food and weight!

  • LittleSallyBrown: Thank you for sharing your story. You should be proud that after all of the trials and tribulations that you have been through, you're still doing your best to keep a positive attitude, seek help, and sharing your story. You deserve credit. Anybody who judges you for gaining weight isn't worth your time.…

  • I think that when you his a plateau (which, by the way, happens to pretty much EVERYONE at some point during weight loss) it is important to reflect on the success that you have had thus far. You've lost 13 pounds! You should be proud! And you were able to go on a cruise and still maintain! You deserve a great deal of…
    in Exercise motivation, and nutrition question, please Comment by danfeldman494 June 2014
  • Hey dude, It sounds to me like you actually aren't eating enough - 1200 cals per day is not enough for a guy. It sounds like you're metabolism might be screwed up. It's not uncommon for people trying to lose weight to eat TOO little and exercise TOO much. I strongly recommend that you take a break from trying to lose fat,…

  • Hi Emma, First off, good for you for taking the initiative to try to lose weight and get healthy. I spent much of my early life setting unrealistic goals and expectations, failing, and beating myself up over it. 24 pounds over 15 weeks is not ridiculous, but it is quite ambitious. In my opinion, if you want permanent…
