Just stay away from trans fats. All the other types of fats are healthy for you. Yes, even saturated fats. Of course assuming that you do not overdo them. The problem is not that saturated fats are bad, it's just that in general western diet there is too much of them. Hence why all the recommendations to limit them. Many…

Some people can grow till very late age, like 25 or more, in extreme cases. And some unfortunate people stop growing at age of 15 or even less. It depends from your genetics. No foods, exercise or any kind of stretching can change that to any noticeable level. Stretching your spine could give you about half an inch over…

Meh... no thanks...

Percentages is a useless gimmick. Same goes for meeting macro goals. This type of macro counting is only useful if you are one of those fitness models who compete on stage. At that level every gram counts. Also, if you are on low carb diet, in which case do not exceed you carb macros cos that will screw everything up. Duh!…

Plant based diets. = Eating mostly plants, but not exclusively plants. Maybe having an occasional cheat meal where one eats meat once a week for example. Or maybe still eating animal products every day but in very small dosages. Anything counts. Even if it is heavy processed and with tons of added chemicals and what not.…

It matters if you want to gain the most muscle and strength as possible. If that would be your goal then it's best to do cardio first for that bonus 2 to 5% strength/muscle gain. Cos doing cardio after weights undoes some of the gains, like 2% or something so you would get only 98% of strength/muscle gains you otherwise…

About to plan starting to binge watch Game of Thrones later today. Never actually checked it out. Everybody tells me it's good show so now I'm finally getting into it. Season one, episode one; here I come!

Fit it into your calories and it's fine. As long as you are in calorie deficit you can have popcorn, no matter of bland air popped or oil popped with extra melted chocolate and sugar on, as long as you still are in calorie deficit.

Cardio on keto is fine. Any intensity is fine too, even high one, as long as you feel fine doing it. Generally you will feel weaker on keto for first few weeks up to first few months, until your body adapts, at which point your energy levels will be back to normal. This is why people say doing intense cardio on keto is…

I am ugly and fat. I barely move. I am active on MFP forum community tho while eating my bacon.

Protein shakes are processed food in powder form. Just like white flour is processed grains in powder form. If you feel that you need more protein have real food after workout, it's always better than processed crap. If all you want is to lose weight then consuming more unnecessary food would be kinda counter productive…

Different devices will show different results because they have different accuracy levels. Also, during the day you will drink water, lose water cos of exercise, get bloated because of eating, etc which all effects it. For the most accurate results you need to use only one device and measure at the same time of day, with…

Find something else to give you emotional comfort apart from food. Something pleasurable that is not eating. For me it was playing video games. Consume something else that is not food. Like a book, movies, etc.

Those meds can increase cravings for food and/or slow down metabolism. Cravings, well, you just have to deal with them mentally. Train discipline. Drink more water, fill yourself up with lots of fiber, ate small portions more often rather that big ones less often, use smaller plates to trick your mind, ate foods not so…

I would say as long as in long run you are at maintenance or deficit you are fine. You might burn 1000 extra cals, for example, from exercise and ate that day 500 back, then you have 500 still left. You can ate them back next day too, you don't have to ate them back all at the same day. Day is just a human made concept.…

I do not want a fat, creepy man with pedo tendencies climbing down my chimney. You don't come to my house, I will beat you up with my baseball bat!

That is such a sad way how to look at things... Ugliness and beauty is subjective things. Take Tess Holliday as example? Is she ugly? No, according to millions of people. Yes, according to many other people. In Renaissance period being chubby was actually a sign of beauty as well. In modern society being skinny is. We all…

I'm vegan. I mostly get protein from seeds and nuts. I ate about a handful of three different types of nuts and/or seeds a day which gives me about 40 to 60g from that alone. Everything has protein, oats about 8g, beans about 5 to 20g, lentils about 20g per 100g. Even things like potato has about 3g of protein per 100g,…

Like I said, propaganda to make you buy protein powders, more food, etc. Many of so called studies that say you need so big amounts of protein, if you look closer, have conflict of interest. You could find quite a few studies if you would start searching, at least I think you could, never done to be honest. All I have is…

I wouldn't worry about protein. If your goal is to just lose weight and look ultimately like a model or something then it's completely useless to count it. Unless you are one some weird diet like 80% fat, 20% carbs from juices and fiber, in which case yea. Other than that no, if you are eating generic diet with some…

The drawback is that you will be deficient in many vitamins and minerals. There is very hard to get all the nutrients that your body needs with that little amount of calories unless you are a tiny, 12 year old, midget, fairy. If you can menage that then there are no drawbacks. But it will require very extensive nutrition…

I drink from 4 to 6.4 liters a day. I don't just chug water down on itself, I drink green tea cos I love tea. And I drink slowly, around one mug a hour. I feel great. You could get water poisoning if you consume huge amount of water, like 2 liters, maybe even more, in very short time, like in 1 hour or something. And even…

I pre log either for a meal or for a whole day and then weight and measure everything to match.

The idea I think is that carbs are your primary source of energy (unless you are on keto) so if you ate them before your workout you will not burn as much fat during workout, so don't take them before when cutting and take fat instead. Same goes for training when fasted when cutting with intention for body to use your body…

As long as you don't go too crazy with it I guess it's fine. But for many other people, if they will not start tracking sugar soon, they will soon GET a medical condition. Which one OP is I don't know.
