i probably have a different opinion about it since i have used coconut oil for whole of my life for cooking. The whole state where i come from are completly depended on coconut oil. We all dont have cholestrol. nor more prone to getting... its a myth.

You can apply coconut oil on hair and leave it in for an hour or so before washing it off. I do that atleast twice a week.

All my life i used to coffee with lots of sugar, that too 5-8 cups a day. it was recently that i calculated calories im wasting in my coffee. I wanted to use that calories to eat more real food. The day i started cutting off sugar, i was the most horrible around. Angry, tired, a bad headache.. it was way better on 2nd day,…

I started to take off sugar from my diet just 6days back. Day 1 was horrible I must say. Headache, tired , cranky... I did cheat on 2 times, but I have pulled myself back on track. Day 6 was perfect with no sugar at all.(I do have natural sugar ie fruits) now I'm starting to feel that its not an impossible task. Give a try.

Nice job. U look awesome.

Update 3 months before i posted this query I was a person trying to walk on my own after recovering from my injury. My mom used to stand behind me to hold me when I fall down. Fast forward to my attempts to get myself moving, its you guys who directed me to weight training. By October I got a PT and weights in the mix gave…

Super awesome. How did you do this?

I have 20 lbs to lose. I changed my diet from march 1st. Lost 3 lbs so far. If scale moves this slow I probably won't even notice :neutral_face:

I'm from Kerala in India

Divert urself to smthing other than food. Go for a walk or start a new hobby to fill in that time..soon u will fall out of that habit

Welcome! You can find awesome support here in MFP. I'm from India as well.

Tea , snacking infront of tv, not thinking before reaching out food

Thanks a lot guys for this much info. Pls help me break it further BMR - 1255 cals means my daily intake can't go below this TDEE - I lead a sedentary life. 9 hrs Desk job. Online calculators show me around 1650 cals Exercise - I make it to gym atlst 5 days a week. Some days i burn 700-800 cals. If i take an avg, i burn…

So as body fat goes down, BMR will improve?

I am looking for losing weight. And its getting tougher and tougher to lose any more by now. That m/c at my gym, I m really not sure what u call it but that was calculated in the morning, fasting and I have to step on that and hold a handle like thing.

Not a calculator. I got this from in body analysis m/n at my gym. So the more active I am on a day(other than work out), I should be fine?

I'm 5'5" and 150 lbs.

I was not weighing every food. More of estimation.Yesterday I got myself a weighing m/c. But its turning out to be tough. We have so many ingredients in a curry, I don't know if I have to weigh all the spices as well.

I am in. 9kg to go in 3-4 months.

My body weight increased by 1 kg in 3 weeks. Today my PT told to take off non veg which I was having everyday(mostly chicken for lunch, added chicken for dinner as well for last 3weeks). Will continue 2 egg whites after work out.

I am increasing my intake from today. will come back with an update after 3 weeks. thanks all

well I don't have eating disorder bcz I do end up eating if im hungry but then pin all blame on that extra food for me not losing weight as easily as I want. I will add 40g of protien approx. 250 cal more and a see how it goes. And may be a fruit more... And on muscle mass I had no clue I am not building muscles yet. Every…

I guess I have no option but to up my intake. I am kind of worried here bcz its getting harder to lose weight and I feel so guilty for that extra bite of food. Also,Is it true that I cannot lose weight and build muscle at the same time? My strength and stamina is definitely increasing which I can make out from the weights…

Can I add more protein in my dinner? I was told to lower protein intake after evening snack as it can affect digestion. I don't have HRM to measure calories. for cardio my machine show abt 900cal. cals for strength training is from what my trainer told.

Also yes my this month report do show that im losing on my muscle mass.

Well as per my today's diet Protien~ 95, Carbs ~150, fat~ 30 I'm a female with current weight at 68kg and goal weight at 60 kg. Current Fat % of 38, goal 25% Current goal is to bring weight down to 60kg and later to 55kg and maintain at that weight

Wow You look awesome!!

I will add in some weights soon. Marie, I just loved your variety. Just reading through some of your goals made me all the more excited. I should find out few more activities I will enjoy doing and won't make me feel like exercise as some kind of punishment I must endure. As of now i have registered for a 5k which is…

I started gym just 1 month back. Is it okay to add weights to my schedule now itself? Or shld I give myself a month more? Just bcz I'm out of practice, I'm getting tired by an alternate day cardio itself. My medication included steroids for some duration. I have noticed that weight is not coming down just by managing my…
