Those who think eating clean is bunk usually exists on package/fast food and are some of the unhealthiest people around no matter what their weight.

There are no healthy fast food meals. Take a look at the over 50 ingredients they put into their grilled chicken breast - and that includes subway.

The American Diabetic Association has done research and no longer approves sucralose for diabetics because it causes a rise in insulin just like sugar.

GB or any other weight loss surgery doesn't stop binge eating. You need to solve that with the help of a counselor.

The sure fired way to gain weight is to stop tracking. This is supported by the National Weight Loss Registery. Those who have kept if off, kept on tracking.

I tried to look at your food diary but you don't enter anything. Hard to help.

Cardio is great but you need to add strength training twice a week,

You don't gain muscle eating at a deficiet and doing cardio. You need strength training to gain muscle. Eating too little can stall weight loss. Keep your calories up for a couple of weeks.

Sorry, but it's the price we pay for being overweight. Mostly your genes will determine how much excess skin you have.

Sounds like a good plan to me. It's very healthy. Why did you go to him if you doubt his advice?

You don't log normal activity like work as exercise.

Carbs, comples or simple, are the least filling food. How much protein and fat did you get from the chicken?

Another myth heard from.

That little bit of protein + all those carbs = hunger. That protein bar is little better than a candy bar. Eat real food.

Checked your profitle and you are underweight for 5'9". Maybe she has a point.

I say no because you are missing out on a lot of nutrition that comes with eating real food. I have one scoop in the morning with 2 HB eggs and a sausage patty. I try to get in 100-110 grams per day so I aim for 25-30 grams with every meal and then the remainder is divided among snacks.

Cottage cheese is not a high protein food - 12 grams of protein is only half a normal protein serving.

Sugar is sugar no matter what its from. It's what comes with it that makes the difference. Brown sugar is white sugar + molasses. No added sugar is healthy to eat.

I have found 0 calorie, 0 carbs coffee syrups in Hazel Nut, French Vanilla, and Carmel at the Dollar Store. Makes wonderful iced coffee.

According to findings from the National Weight Loss Registry, you have to continue to journal and exercise if you want to keep the weight off. You should not wait until you gain 10 pounds before doing something about it, but takes steps at no more than 2 pounds.

I guess you love the chemicals and preservatives in regular yogurt. Not for me. I don't eat junk.

Hush puppies, fried oysters and French fries for breakfast....really! A load of processed fried food does not give energy. Poor food choices lead to low energy. I'm 71 and do water aerobics, yoga, pylo, resistance training, power lifiting, a step class and water zumba. 3 classes per day 6 days a week. I am a low carber and…

If you don't eat enough, your body will burn muscle as fuel. He's way under eating. A sub doesn't have to be a treat, it can be lunch. He needs to at least eat higher calorie foods.

You do not count your normal daily activity as exercise. Exercise has to raise your heart rate for a sustained period and be something more than your normal routine. So your steps per day are not exercise. You should have activity level set to moderate.

Your breakfast has far too many carbs. You need to get some protein there. Too much reliance on protein shakes. Eat real meat, fish, poultry and you['ll have better nutrition and more calories. Add some veggies to tea.

Attaching a date to a weight loss goal can be bad. What happens if you don't meet that goal? Instead focus on the steps that you are going to do to reach your goal - I'll eat healthier food, I'll exercise ____ times each week, I'll drink 10 glasses of water every day, I'll journal every bite, like and taste every day. If I…

Stavation mode is a myth. If you make good food choices, 1200 calories is fine.

You show your ignorance of this way of eating when you make statements like this. If you haven't researched it, don't comment on it.

What you eat and how much activity, especially strength training, you do has a lot to do with how you will look.

Weight loss must be slow and steady to allow time for your body and mind to adjust to your new lifestyle. 1/2-2 pounds per week is healthy weight loss. Your goal is not healthy unless you are very obese. You can't spot reduce anything.
