Haven't had fried food in many years and I'm healthier because of it. You could measure how much oil is left in the pan and subtract it from the total amount you started with.

You don't build muscle when you are in a calorie deficit and 7 pounds in 2 months for a female would be exceptional unless you are a well trained body builder. We need more info to help you. What do you eat in a day? What exercise are you doing? Age, height, current weight. All that plays into figuring calories burned. Do…

There is no one size fits all diet. Many of us do better with low carb so please contribute something helpful besides eating like you do.

Actually peanuts belong to the legume (bean) family, they aren't a nut at all. Almonds are a tree nut and better for you.

Greek yogurt, berries and a few nuts would be a healthier choice with a lot less sugar. Granola is not a good choice for weight loss unless you only use 1-2 T.

When you have been the exact same weight for 4 weeks, you can say you are on a plateau. You could change up your exercise and eat more protein and fewer carbs and see if that helps.

Unless you are under a doctor's car with regular blood work, you should not be eating less than 1200 calories a day or you won't get adequate nutrition. To be at 900 is not good!

You need 1200 calories minimum to get adequate nutrition. Are you using light, reduced fat, fat free type products? Use the real thing. What are you eating in a typical day?

Never heard of a problem like that. I because carbs cause your body to store 4 grams of water for every gram of carb, you might be very bloated and your skin is stretched taut so when you tough it it hurts.

The only accurate way is to be weighed under water. As you have found, measuirements aren't accuate, even by a professional.

Whole wheat waffles do not have enough whole grain in them to be called a whole grain. They are a processed food , If they were whole grain, you would have whole pieces of wheat throughout.

When you are on a plateau, you need to change your exercise because your body becomes very efficient and burns fewer calories when you do the same thing all the time. Add strength training 2-3 times a week. Shake up what you are eating. Eat fewer carbs and more protein.

It's a scientific fat you can goggle that you have to exercise for at least 60 minutes for it to affect your weight loss. Weight loss is 80% what you eat and 20% exercise so you didn't lost all your weight with that little exercise.

Exercise gives you energy.

How to you intend to get a 3500 calorie a day deficit? You're saying you'll lose a pound a day. That isn't healthy or possible.

You need to be doing a variety of exercise. JMFBM 3 days a week is fine but you need at least 2 days of strength training and other cardio on strength trainind days and the other day and then take one day off. When you do the same exercise all the time the body becomes used to it and becomes efficient at using fewer and…

The National Weight Loss Register has been tracking maintainers for many years. The 2 things that keep on track is to continue to journal all food and to exercise at least 6 days a week.

A kids hula hoop is not heavy enough for adult exercise. You need a weighted hoop. It is great for strengthening your core.

Yes you would log the runs, you don't do them as part of your daily activity.

You'd do better with a protein shake than and Atkins bar in the morning.

How much strength training do you do? That is what tons the body and builds lean body mass.

I tell them no thanks. What I eat is my choice, not someone else's.

I had mine removed way back in the olden days of 1977. I still cannot much fat or I have bathroom issues. I had morning sickness for a full year after it was removed. The doc said some people just react like that.

Actually its 30 minutes to be healthy and at least an hour for weight loss. Weight loss is 80% food and 20% exercise. Cardio is great but you also need strength training 2-3 times a week to keep the muscle you have and stay strong.

How old are you? Male or female? Need more info to help. Actually being 570 calories under means you lose a pound a week.

look at a package of regular ground beef and one that is 93/7. See all that white stuff in the regular? That is fat. You can't rinse it away. You'd have to cook it until the fat became cracklings before all the fat was out. There are always ignorant people who think a comfort food dish like beans and toast is beneath them.…

There was an article in today's paper on weight gain after menopause. The average woman gains 12 pounds and the fat moves from the hips and thighs to the belly area. This was a research study conducted by the Mayo clinic. The conclusion was that to lose the belly fat it is necessary to cut the carbs and increase the…

Ayalowich, you only eat very low carb on Atkins for 2 weeks if you do it properly and then you start adding 5 grams of carbs a week until you find the amount that gives a healthy 1-2 pound a week weight loss. You add in fruits and grains. Atkins is a 4 step process. You need to be informed before commenting on Atkins.

You do not have to be high fat for low carb. Fat has nothing to do with energy. Your body burns glycogen for energy and that is converted from the foods you eat and stored in your cells. I do low carb and lower fat (less than 40 grams a day) and it works just fine and I have tons of energy.

You clearly need professional help. It is not normal to want to look boyish. You need to learn to love your body the way it is right this minute.
