Amazing!!! You must have been so thrilled! May I ask, how is the scar from the tt?

I was doing tons of cardio and eating fairly low calories for about 1.5 months and lost hardly anything. According to MFP, I should have lost 10+ lbs. Something definitely wasn't adding up, so I started researching and came across this article -…

This is what John Hussman's website says re: not eating enough calories. Don't know him or endorse him, but this resonates with me.... "NOTE: If you are having trouble losing weight, it is wishful thinking to believe that eating more calories will help. Do not use the BMR calculation as a reason to increase your caloric…

Excellent point OP! There is a lot of "you need to eat more calories" on here but my gut tells me (no pun intended) that isn't true. I have been having trouble losing, even with lots of exercise and low calories. I've been wondering what the problem has been. Even though I'm tracking everything I eat, I wonder if the…

Thank you Linda! Good to know that some people see blood sugar spike with the sugar alcohol.

Yeah, I was wondering about Sugar Alcohol. Weird that Atkins says ok, but Taubes says no. I feel like Taubes would understand that better for some reason. Those peanut butter cups were way too good to be an Ok food :) Thanks Eric.

I second this topic. I'd like to know what's the most carbs someone has eaten and still maintain weight loss? If I could go 50-100, that would be great to know. I'm sort of afraid to go above 30 or so.

One full day of low carb (25 grams I think - less than I had intended) and I am already fitting comfortably into jeans I haven't been able to wear awhile :) I might even hop on that scale this week. I didn't want to weigh myself until I knew I was under the weight I was the last time I plugged it in here sometime last year.

So interesting! And I'm so impressed with everyone's knowledge about this stuff. I should get checked at the doctor's. But I never had an unexplained sudden weight gain. It's just that I have an extremely stubborn set point! I also don't feel like I have to snack all day. With a higher protein + coffee diet lately I can go…

I don't believe I have insulin resistance, or at least I didn't a couple of years ago when I was testing my own blood glucose levels every day. In fact, I think it was on the low side. It's possible I have thyroid issues. I was slightly hypo a number of years ago but haven't been tested in awhile. Guess I'll get that all…
