The way this reads to me... My nutritionist put me on 5 meals a day and I feel great so if everyone else in the world eats 5 meals a day they'll lose weight and feel great too. Eating more meals doesn't make you lose weight. Eating less calories then your daily caloric burn is what causes you to lose weight. The reason why…

cprys8942, you're losing weight and you're doing it in a way that works for you. I wouldn't let the negativity get to you. Seems to me a lot of people forget the only weight loss plan that has a chance of working is the one you can maintain. Based on what you've said you plan is working and you can easily maintain it. Go…

I don't take it as an attack at all I know I have a lot of weight to lose but you've missed a lot of the research that is available that disputes exactly what you're saying. And no not all of the nutritionists work for cereal companies but I guarantee you that most of them being "published" didn't graduate college within…

It takes 72 hours of not eating for the body to even consider it's in starvation.

You don't need to eat breakfast to kick start your metabolism. That's Just what the breakfast cereal companies want you to believe. If you eat your calories and hit your macros in one sitting, you don't find yourself hungry then you have nothing to worry about. I never eat breakfast anymore. I eat all of my calories in an…

I'm in the every day but log once a week group.

I've been doing the IF for about 30 days 18/6 style and I can't say it's improved weight loss but it has improved my energy levels and my workouts have been better. I'm doing a combination of 18/6 IF and the Spike Diet and I'm continually losing 1.5 to 2.5 pounds weekly.

Her Goal weight is 139 not 114. 114 is what her projected lean mass will be.

I see the what x2 and raise you a "Huh?"

I eat nearly 4500 calories in a day 1 time a week and nearly every week. I lose between 1.5 to 2.5 every week. Bearing that in mind, I do eat at a deficit the other 6 days and for the overall week which is part of what helps me lose weight the other part being that on the day that I do eat 4500ish calories I'm boosting my…

I'm surprised that nobody else has mentioned this option but have you considered a gym membership. Most of them are pretty reasonable. I only pay 10 bucks a month for mine. I used to feel working out in the comfort of my home was the way to go but now I realize that was my problem. Home is too comfortable and there are…

Actually you're just fine, you don't need to eat when you get up to get your metabolism going. I used to believe this myth as well but it's simply not true and there is plenty of research and articles to support it. I don't ingest anything besides a few cups of coffee and a lot of water every day until noon. I have easily…

Fresh in season fruit is healthy, celery and carrot sticks are healthy, I buy fresh 5-6lb lean chicken breast packages every week from my local walmart at 1.88 a pound. Canned tuna fish in water can be as little as 3 6oz can's for a dollar. Lowfat yogut 2 or 3 for a dollar if you don't need greek yogurt. Low fat…

I agree, and this is another one of the good posts.

I never said to not make better food choices. In fact I outlined several ways to make better food choices that fit within what she's stated she already likes. However, telling someone they will fail if they don't eat more vegetables is utter BS. My Diary is public, I have lost 30 pounds in 75 days, by eating mostly meats,…

That's not what I said, I said I can't believe people have the audacity to say such things.

Amazing, Atkins is not a bad diet if you follow it to the letter. Only the first 2 weeks of Atkins are carb restrictive. After the first two weeks you introduce more carbs each week until you know where your tolerance is then back off just enough to continue losing. Once you reach your goal you add carbs again to the point…

Triple post by accident

I'm utterly amazed at how many people are just telling the OP to suck it up and eat what is clearly not appetizing. Statements of that nature are what cause people to up and quit their weight loss journey. One thing I'm sure many of us can agree on is this isn't a diet it's a lifestyle and if you force yourself to do…

75 days here.

^^ This I used to worry about how eating breakfast and between meal snacks every single day and honestly it got on my nerves. Through some research and seeing the results others were having I pretty much skip breakfast and any morning snacks I do eat lunch at noon at least 4 days every week now I have an afternoon snack if…

I "cheat" every Saturday, usually 4000+ calories, and this past week was Pizza, Meatball sub, Arby's Roast Beef, curly fries and triple chocolate cheescake. Then I eat clean for then next 6 days. I typically lose about 1.5 to 2.5 pounds a week. My Biggest loss is usually shown on the morning of the cheat day. My diary is…

I started MFP at 275# and 1800 Calories a Day w/o any exercise at all. Less then three months later I'm at 245#, 1700 Calories a day + one spike day and still losing weight at a healthy rate and I exercise about 3 times a week. I'd seriously look into a second opinion.

it's actually not that absurd, the George Foreman grills works on exactly the same concept of draining away fat to make a fatty piece of meat leaner and thus less calories. However, I don't see there being any real easy way to track it in your own kitchen.....

So going for 30 Day shred in 15 days? LOL

6 to 10 US dollars.

Level 1 for 10 days Level 2 for 10 days Level 3 for 10 days Some people adjust as needed... for instance only 7 on the first level but maybe 12 the 2nd and then 11 for the last. My wife and I have this video, kicks my rump This video is the reason her abs are starting to show though...

I think you look great! That's why I'm proud to have you in my circle of supporters... BTW - Showed my wife your pictures, she's in much better shape then me and she thinks your abs are rocking. Her's are just starting to show and she's excited about that. Don't let people who are obviously hung up on textbook definitions…
