The drug prevents your body from absorbing of fat. But if you eat a low fat diet, then the drug is a complete waste of money as it does nothing for you. But if you tend to eat a fatty diet, the constant fear of oily discharge should force you to eat less fat. Good lessons for sustainable weight loss...... :s

Under cardiovascular use the general category strength training. Calorie burns are estimates. For something like seated cardio (check out youtube) use the category low impact aerobics.

For weight loss? There are various fasting protocols and groups here on MFP - https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/120735-fasting-diet-intermittent-fasting https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/111854-intermittent-fasting-hflc-16-8-18-6-20-4 If for weight loss - consistent calorie deficit is the key. Pick a…

https://physiqonomics.com/the-weird-and-highly-annoying-world-of-scale-weight-and-fluctuations/ You might look into a weight trending app to smooth out daily weigh-ins.

If you enjoy swimming, then swim. If you enjoy roller blading or pole dancing or pickleball - the list goes on and one - then do those. The point is when you get enjoyment out of exercise you will be more consistent. Wunderkind is correct - make your own plan.

Chocolate mint tea perhaps? I add a splash of milk and 1/2 teaspoon of splenda. Hot beverages take time to drink so it lasts longer. Not chocolate, but this time of year I like to heat 4 oz. of apple cider/juice and water and add a ginger type tea bag. A low cal mulled cider. I use Bigelow Ginger Snappish - Yum

Your body burns calories 24/7. You can't target fat loss thru exercise (or diet). Fat will come off where it wants to. Take in fewer calories than your body uses each day. Google TDEE (total daily energy expenditure)......eat less than this. When you eat at a calorie deficit, your body will use fat stores.

2% Greek yogurt, half thawed blueberries and a couple spoonfuls of Fiber One on top.

Thin crust, lots of veggies, and limit to one meat topping. Have a nice salad, and a small serving of pizza. When I get pepperoni on restaurant pizza, I like to dab the grease off with a paper towel. When I make homemade, I have more control. Thin crust (only a little oil in my recipe). A pizza stone will give you a crisp…

High fiber will net you lower carbs....avocado, cauliflower/broccoli, kale, chia & flax seed, asparagus

Slow and steady. Instead of going all out and then burning out, build up to regular exercise. Start with a small sustainable goal say 60 minutes per week. Certainly you can find 60 minutes somewhere. 6x10, 4x15, 3x20......it's all good. Make yourself accountable. Mark this on a calendar, track it on a spreadsheet,…

A calorie deficit for weight loss, period. Track calories and find a way to stay within your calorie goal. Carb balance is personal preference - for satiety, medical issues, or fitness goals.

You might look in the groups section................. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/groups/browse/search?Search=over+60

You didn't gain weight (as in fat) by eating less than your calorie goal. You would need to eat over maintenance to gain fat. Water weight fluctuates. Ignore day-to day weigh-ins, instead look at the long term trend. You might consider a weight trending app. Re: diary. A couple things - you're not meeting your calorie…

I like white bean chili: https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/white-chili/ This is pretty light with chicken and chicken broth. https://www.skinnytaste.com/15-light-and-healthy-chili-recipes/

One can a day - A&W diet root beer. Is water tolerable? Stainless tumblers keep ice all day, just keep refilling it with water. Add lemon slices if you like. Make sure you don't get thirsty. Unsweetened iced tea is nice too. You can use flavored tea bags for making iced tea. Ahmad Raspberry Indulgence and Twinings…

Lots of protocols lots of groups - https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/120735-fasting-diet-intermittent-fasting https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/111854-intermittent-fasting-hflc-16-8-18-6-20-4 https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/126211-5-2-intermittent-fasting

When you sign up the app asks for your activity level. Use the guide below to gauge your activity level. https://www.10000steps.org.au/articles/counting-steps/ You can also log deliberate exercise (above & beyond) activity level. But logging all steps as exercise will result in some double counting so that's not such a…

No. Let's say your maintenance is 2500 calories. 7 x 2,500 = 17,500 calories per week to maintain. Let's say your goal (for 1 pound loss) 2000 calories. 7 x 2,000 = 14,000 calories to lose 1 pound per week. A 3,500 calorie deficit. Let's say you ate 3000 calories. 7 x 3,000 = 21,000 calories to gain 1 pound per week. A…

You have some choices - Take a less aggressive cut and eat more. You may lose a little slower, but do what is sustainable to you. Google your TDEE (total daily energy expenditure)....this is an estimate of your maintenance. You don't need to eat less than BMR, you need to eat less than TDEE. Unless you are petite and very…

This Weight Watchers recipe looked interesting: 1 1/8 cup self-rising flour 1 cup of plain Fat Free Greek Yogurt 2 eggs 1/3 cup of unsweetened almond milk 1 1/2 tsp of vanilla Self rising flour recipe - for each 1 C flour add 1.5 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt

Most of the 15 pounds you lost is water weight. You're apparently done with that phase. Fat loss is a much slower process that is based on calorie deficit. A 3,500 calorie deficit to lose 1 pound. For most people 1-2 pounds per week is good progress.

Eating "clean" whatever your definition, is not a requirement for weight loss either. For me it's actually more helpful to eat what I want but log portions. Learning about foods I typically eat can be helpful. You will find most people here log food. That's what the site is designed for.

This^ Find a fast food equivalent: if KFC doesn't give you a per piece option try Krispy Krunchy or Broaster Chicken.

I've had 2 rebounders. A cheap Gold's Gym model. This was so stiff, it was like jumping on the floor. Awful, don't bother. My second rebounder is mid-price, a Jump Sport. I like it, it's fun. Mine has bungees which makes it very quiet. This is is not the softest bounce out there but good enough. Bellicon's are supposed to…

I don't do low carb, but you might want to join one of the low carb groups here. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/groups/browse/search?Search=low+carb

Jessie - if you're not familiar with foods scales, they have what is called a tare button. That button sets the scale to zero. This is helpful in two ways. Place your dinner plate (or whatever) on the scale and hit tare. Then spoon your "serving" onto it. This is the weight of the food. This is great for building salads…

Create your own recipes here. Under the Food heading, look for the Recipes menu. I start with the importer (look for something similar) and tweak it from there. Favorite recipes websites - Skinny Taste and Cooking Light.

Yes it can help people estimate better. Sometimes people have jobs that don't really fit My Fitness Pal's set-up. Let's say someone is a waitress 3 shifts, and works in a more sedentary position the remaining shifts. How much of a difference does that make?
