Makes perfect sense. When you exercise you deplete energy. Food is energy. How much further down the metabolic rabbit hole would you like to go?

People who binge have emotional issues they associate with food. Regret, remorse, guilt, shame. Worry, panic, fear. Anger, frustration. And of course you'd think it's foolish, you're the one who binges without understanding why. When you think about binging, what's the number 1 emotion listed above that best represents…

Sugar cravings generally exist in people who consistently diet on too little calories per day. Sugar addiction, I know I'll trigger some butthurt, doesn't exist within itself. It could exist as a part of some other bigger picture issue. What's the big picture issue? Here's a example: If you're addicted to sugar and i…

Nutrients are key. Nutritionists will break things down to the ridiculous for lay people so it's a pure numbers game. If you search the Twinkie diet, you'll find a professor who dieted down with full blood panels showing before and after that the blood serum vitamin levels were near perfect, but he had dieted down solely…

Time and consistency, the best body shaper.

With a BMI of 18 youre smart to not want to lose weight.

Take body weight 151lbs x (13-15) +500. So 1963-2265, avg 2100+500=2600. Full battery of micro nutrients from colorful fruits and veg. Natural fats. Protein close to 150g a day unless you get too constipated. Resistance train a couple tines a week and walk. Sleep well, stress free life.... Go you!

Lol any diet with a name is a fad diet. You know what they say about those.

Check sleep habits. Do you have a libido? Do you have specific cravings? Are you avoiding anything specific?

I dont!

Hire an online coach.

Weight maintenance is between 5 and 10lbs believe it or not. I can weigh 6lbs lighter tomorrow if I choose to and still eat my full allotted 2700 cals today.

Calculate calories needed to maintain your GOAL weight. Eat those calories daily. Walk daily Resistance train 2-3x a week Sleep 7-9hrs/night Live generally stress free Calculating and eating at goal weight maintenance ensure that when you reach goal, youll never have to "diet" again. So to maintain at your weight you'd…

Ideal weight at her height is 130-150lbs.

Big red flags: 1) Username 2) Over exercising 3) Obsessed with weight 4) Thinking in terms of wrong and right Well beyond my scope of practice.

Zero difference in high fat vs high carb diets. If you like high carb, eat high carb. If you like high fat, eat high fat. If you like cycling high fat on rest days and high carb on training, go for it.

The quantity of food dictates weight. Quality dictates level of leanness. That said,if you are lean, macro counting can help get you leaner. If counting macros brings stress and anxiety, probably safe to say its not for you.

I love midnight snacks!

Dont. Just eat at a slight deficit daily and do resistance training a few times a week. No magic pills!

You could take photos weekly and watch the changes. You could buy a measuring tape and chart your measurements. Scale weight really isnt the best source of info.

In a glass of water you squeeze a lemon, then mix a spoon of baking soda. Should work within an hour.

Is she? Or dies she need some rest days from exercise and just needs to move more?

BTW this warrants a trip to the therapist.

So eat something sweet. Lol

SS hit the nail on the head. Certain personality types are okay with outcome goals. They can accept the idea that fat loss or muscle gain won't be linear and they are okay with it. For the others who stress about every ounce fluctuating on the scale, I'd rather them improve their lifts by 10% every 6 weeks. Its something…

What's working with your program so far? What was starting weight and how much have you lost since then?

OP needs to talk to her doctor since she's still within 6 months from giving birth. Its advised to eat higher calories if breastfeeding but I believe she said she isn't doing that. 1) Pelvic floor muscles will hinder progress. Get assessed by a doc then a PT. 2) Hormones may still be out of balance. Get assessed by a doc.…

No. I cannot sell my services on the open forums on MFP. Amy was a former client.

What's working with your program so far? What was starting weight and how much have you lost since then?

How much is too low? Are you obese or morbidly obese? Only then should you even think. About eating close to 1200.
