Cheese, bread, and sweets are my favorite. I cut out the bread and sweets when losing weight but the cheese never goes. I eat cheese everyday. They say "hard" cheeses are better for you. As you said, other things don't feel me up and keep me full like cheese and nuts. So yes I will eat these every day to some extint. I…

I belive that if everyone lost weight in exactly the same manner, there would be no need for thousands of different diets. I personally like the 5:2 diet. It has helped me lose weight but also seems to give me more energy. So, find something that works for you...and stick to it.

The problem with most of the studies is to realize all people can not be grouped in the same manner. All people lose weight different and not every method will not work for every person. You basically have to learn your own body and go from there. Nobody denies the fact that in severe starvation mode many things happen to…

No, you still have the calorie deficit in the 16:8 plan. I started with this one because I didn't think I could go a whole 24 hrs without food. Once I did this one for a week and didn't feel hungry, I decided to try the 5:2 plan. The way the calorie deficit worked for me in the 16:8 plan was after fasting for 16 hrs, I was…

basically it was initially intended to help body builders lose reserved fat while building lean muscle. The weight loss was a by product of this secondary to the decreased caloric intake during the fasting periods. They found that while cutting calories also helps to lose weight, after awhile people get tired of the…

I am currently doing a combination of things. First of all I started with 5:2 IF way of eating. Second I started the Jillian…

Skinny jeans on men and open-toe sandals on guys and girls who have ugly feet.

Losing weight is 80% diet and 20% exercise. So therefore you can lose weight without exercising if you follow your diet well. The exercising is more for the toning, building muscle. So if you want to look toned after the weight loss, then exercise

Occasionally I will crave pancakes. I go and get an order of pancakes. Take a few bites after dipping them in a small amt of syrup. Guess what....they don't really taste that good anymore so I quit eating them.

I would say best once a month...but on a minimum, weekly

Haven't read the Crossfire novels but didn't care for Christian Grey. Loved the books but am too independent for that type of relationship. He was very giving..which is sweet. But took far more than he gave

Don't usually eat breakfast. Never was a big breakfast eater. Most of the things I like are high in fat, calories, fat. Then the problems is if I eat breakfast, I stay hungry and want to eat all day. If I skip it, I'm not usually hungry and can limit my calories

I have been a nurse for 25 yrs and up until 5 yrs ago was overweight. I weighed 245# and worked 2 full time nursing jobs. I had such a bad complex about my wt and what people would think that I over did everything. I refused to have people think that I was fat and couldn't do my job. I went non-stop and did more than…

First of all, everyone is different and loses weight differently. I personally have to eat a low caloric intake and restrict simple carbs to lose. That being said...I have lost 20# in 7 weeks and never felt better or had more energy. Sure I could up my calories by eating things that are better left alone but then I would…

I started out 3 wks ago and did the 16/8 plan where I ate in a 8hr window and fasted for 16. I did this for 1 wk but liked the concept. The next 2 weeks, I did the 5:2 plan which I'm on my 3rd week. I really like this plan and find it pretty easy to do. My 2 fast days a week are true fast days. I only take in water, tea,…

I don't believe that's true. If you look at all the research on the IF diet, you will see many people believe that low calories, skipping meals, etc is a recipe for disaster. Modern day wants you to eat 5-6 meals a day with increased protein even though it's proven that too much protein is not necessarily a good thing for…
