  • When was the first time you can recall being this way? Was this something you've discovered about yourself? Or was this taught to you by a parent?
  • Thought this website was for 18 and older...
  • Look into Felix Economakis. He's a hypnotherapist who deals with morbid obesity. Some of his videos will give you an idea how it works. I use IEMT for clients but that doesn't deal directly with weight loss, just the emotions that could be holding them back from getting started. Hope that helps.
  • Find a community of like minded people. Create a group, find 40 friends, hop in and see what happens. Hope that helps!
  • XXXL shirts and a size 38 waist had me thinking something was wrong. A weekend in the hospital want good either. Fat and sick, time for a change. Researched weight loss, committed to it, here we are.
  • I never said stop taking Vitamin D. Did you read this article?
  • Just popped into my feed http://www.precisionnutrition.com/stop-vitamin-d
  • Wow Steven thanks for this. I'm taught to have clients taking multivitamins and omega 3 supplementation when changing habits and trying to live a healthier life. It's a good insurance plan and the Omega 3 does have a good amount of literature on weight loss. Thanks for this insight. It's much appreciated.
  • Car analogy coming... You give the engine the proper care and it works better than if you didn't. Look at all the deficiencies in the US population from eating the SAD. Vitamin D, K2, magnesium, zinc.... A body getting fewer nutrients will crave more energy as well.

  • Working on my certification through them. Excellent program that simplifies the process.
  • That's something you'll have to experiment with. Overall, 1g protein per kg will do. You could also experiment with intuitive eating or using Precision Nutrition portion control. Experiment and understand that weight maintenance is up to 10lbs +/- your optimal weight. As a side note, if you live near a college that teaches…
  • You have to stick with what you can be consistent in. Hell I lost my weight using CICO! 1600 2 days and 2000 the rest. Now I maintain on about 2600/day due to activity but I'm.also the healthiest I've ever been.
  • You can reduce calories from TDEE and not exercise and lose body weight. You can eat at TDEE and add activity and exercise and lose weight. The quality of food and exercise will effect the quality of weight loss. Figure out what your calculated TDEE is from anywhere on the web. Look at the amount you eat daily. If it's way…
  • Energy balance Homeostasis = energy in is the same as energy out. Weight loss = energy in is less than energy out. Weight gain = energy in is greater than energy out. However, a calorie isn't a calorie due to micronutrients. A persons ability to absorb said nutrients varies vastly from one person to another.
  • I agree you'd think that. If you knew me better you wouldn't. Please understand that I'm simply trying to help and in no way trying to offend.
  • Sure I do. :) It's not the only answer when it comes to fat loss.
  • It's a stock answer that's simplistic and forgoes the complexity of obesity. After educating myself and while building a business based around helping GenPop clients lose weight and live healthy lives, it's not always the answer CICO. I'm not disparaging the help, I simply want people to use critical thinking when giving…
  • It's one day. Srs Eat anything you want and enjoy your family.
  • This is a couple questions I'd love for you to really think about it before answering. What habits do you have in place that support your attempts to lose weight? When you binge or decide to eat junk food that's offering relief, what are you seeking relief from? And what else coukd you do to find relief without food? In…
  • This is so sad. This is a time for family and friends. You plan on letting one day bother you? Eat and be merry!
  • I was listening to Evil Sugar Radio when it was pointed out by a therapist who deals with obesity. It's one of the reasons I've switched from college level nutrition to psychology.
  • No. However I believe it can come to a crawl when systemic issues are present ie nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalance, sleep issues, and medications.
  • Lack of sleep, high stress, medication can cause weight gain SS. Like I said before, people throw CICO at everything. It's not always the answer. Of course I can go with n=1 and talk about my wife who maintains her obesity eating 800-1200kcal a day. @SideSteel you of all people understand that we need to employ critical…
  • Set a 6 month goal that's reasonable and write it down. Working backwards you write down what you plan on completing each month. Improve sleep? Reduce stress? Drink more water? Take a multivitamin and fish oil daily? Walk 10k steps a day? Exercise 3x a week? What's your plan?
  • Most people will say CICO, however... http://www.shiftn.com/obesity/Full-Map.html It's far more complex. Too bad we can't simply install critical thinking to the pack mentality on this forum.
  • Great work on getting started! The people around you are your biggest influence. For the first part, and this cones from experience, just focus on the here and now. Think of it like a lighthouse in the distance. You know it's eventually your destination but the road will be windy! Process oriented goals and installing…
  • A couple days of overeating should be fine. If you zoom out on your past year, how many days have you done this compared to days in a deficit? You'll be fine.
