I have been pressure cooking for more than 60 years with stove top and now InstatPot. It is hardly a fad. I love it.

You need some strength training and balance too. GrowYoungFitness.com is for seniors. I do his free videos every day. Easy and not too long. I am 77. I have celiac disease and severe COPD.

Yes you can. You will also lose muscle along with. The largest muscle is your heart. Start with seated exercises and progress to more as you lose.

You are not building enough muscle in 3 weeks with the exercises you do.

I eat 50 net carbs. A stall means you have not lost or gained anything for 6 weeks. Unless you are extremely active, you may be eating too many carbs.

The protein is probably high because he is helping her gain muscle.

People eat crap loaded with sugar and feel virtuous because they are in a calorie deficit. Actually what you eat is more important. Protein requires more calories to burn than fat, followed by fat, with carbs a poor third. CICO has been disproved.

Goal is to log everything daily, 300 minutes of exercise, more water (I drink too much coffee), stay within my macros. 😃

Calorie count on most machines is inflated.

Low carb/keto has been around for over 80 years. It is not a fad. It has science behind it and is useful in treating epilepsy. People need to know the facts before making judgements.

I have had mine for 3 years. I love it. It connects to My Fitness Pal. I particularly got it because I do water aerobics 5 days a week and it is waterproof. Very accurate.

Unless you are walking 10,000 steps in addition to your normal daily movement, they aren't all exercise.

Low carb like Atkins is actually low carb, moderate protein and higher fat. I keep net carbs to 50, protein to 100 and eat the rest in fat (avocado, olives, nuts, healthy oils). Those flavored creamers are sugar bombs. Use Heay cream. Melon and berries should be your first choice for fruit.

You need protein for healing not sugar. Have a protein shake.

There isn't a.maximum. You also shouldn't snack.

If you do Atkins by the book, 20 carbs is only for 2 weeks and then you start adding back 5 at a time until you find your optimal amount of carbs. Of the 20, 15 must be from foundation vegetables so there isn't much room for cream and sweeteners. There is also Atkins 40 which bypasses induction altogether and you start…

Fat promotes satiety and also stops cravings for sweets.

It will surely keep your cravings for it alive and roaring. If you crave sweets, eat some protein or fat. 1 oz. of 70% dark chocolate would be better than cake.

Totally untrue! You really need to do some research before posting junk like this. The body will die without adequate protein and fat. It has 0 need for carbs ( remember the Inuit?). I see you don't recommend any vegetables - they are carbs, too and the kind that are useful. As for fat, Science has now proven that low fat…

Actually the body has no need for carbs at all. The body will convert fat to glucose for fuel.

The treadmill is cardio. For your dream body you need strength training as well and you need to be consistent.

You definitely need to see at PT to get an exercise schedule for your back, not us.

That is perfect. After a few weeks, up your carbs to 40 grams and cut back a little on the fat. You can't get adequate nutrition with just 20 grams of carbs. My doc had me on 50 carbs, 100 protein and the rest fat and the weight fell off. I really learned to eat clean and keeping it off is easier. And the difference…

Science has proved, and you can google it, that CICO is a myth. It's what you eat that counts.

Too many carbs also result in constant bloating in the belly area which some see as a fat belly. Cut back a little on carbs and eat more fruit and vegetables for a week and see what happens.

Having done 3 Whole 30s and currently doing a 4th, let me give you some Whole30 facts. It is not a diet. It is only for 30 days that you eliminate grains, dairy, sugar and sweeteners. After that you begin adding them back taking careful note if any give you adverse reactions. You will lose weight but it will not be a…

Your body needs 0 carbs. You will not die without them. You will die without sufficient fat and protein. It has been proven scientifically more than once that protein and fat are more satiating than carbs. We get into the habit of thinking we need carbs to be satisfied. Habits are not needs.

I lost 214 pounds and thrift stores and consignment shops were my friends. I gave away the clothes as soon as they became big so I'd have nothing to wear if I gained and also because I knew I'd want different styles when I was thinner. I still have a problem (after many, many years) with body image and when I go to get new…

In the winter, frozen vegetables are often a much cheaper option. Frozen vegetables can actually be more nutritious than fresh because they are frozen soon after picking and fresh has been warehoused, driven around, stored at the store and half the nutrition is gone.

I count it as 2 eggs because most of the calories is in the fat. It could also be 1 egg + 1 yolk.
