To add to that though I think the more education the better so at some point children should be taught how macro nutrients and calories work, the basic mechanics of it, the more knowledge people have, the better. But I don't think they need to be told what to do WITH that information.

I absolutely think that children should be educated on how to live a healthy lifestyle. It's very important that they learn to eat well and stay active. However I don't think telling children to count calories or that they have to earn dessert is helpful. Frankly I don't think adults should really have that mentality, it…

I've been running for years and people have yelled at me a handful of times. It's been sexual in nature but I also experienced someone yell "you suck!" I don't suck so I don't know why someone would say that lol. People can be mean but unless it's someone who signs my paychecks or my significant other saying something…

This was sort of my experience. When I first started running I had actually spent months doing cardio on the elliptical so transitioning to running was a bit easier than just starting from the couch. However I took a year off in 2014 and in 2015 I couldn't run a mile anymore so I started C25K. I got maybe a little over…

So then that would be the point of a keto diet while training for a marathon, so that you train your body to use fat for fuel no matter which intensity you are running at.

So if all of this is true, and low intensity runs will train your body to use fat for fuel, as the first poster said, and all long runs are low intensity, then why doesn't everyone who trains for a marathon's body adapt to burning fat for fuel instead of carbs? Then everybody who has trained for a marathon could show up on…

Yes I have had stretch marks since 6th grade since I went through puberty, I have accepted them as part of life!

They must eat SOMETHING though or else they would die.

Probably straight, the one inch difference between bust and hips isn't much and for an hour glass it's supposed to be your waist is at least 9 inches smaller than the bust. People always assume hourglass if the top and bottom are the same but not necessarily.

I used to be really in to nail polish, at one point I had over 500 bottles, I have tried so many different brands, from high end to drug store and indie makers, my favorite brand to this day is still OPI.

I guess it would depend on how long the run is and fitness level. Like someone said the goal is to get through the assigned mileage as quickly as you can, and that can mean going slow. Some people need to go slow to get through 15 miles, some people need to go slow to get through 1. If you can go fast for 3 miles then…

Everyone's too worried about what they look like to notice what you are doing, no reason to worry .

I didn't say that the people following this plan for marathon training aren't doing long runs, I said maybe they don't want to do low-intensity runs. To be low enough in intensity to be in the "fat burning" zone, assuming it's not a myth, for me as a 29 year old female, I would have to do a long run with my heart rate at…

Maybe, but perhaps they don't want to do the runs at low intensity.

Oh that's true, I suppose if you are losing at a younger age your skin will bounce back more easily. So do young people still get loose skin or is it more of the older crowd?

My chiropractor was telling me he just started doing it, he explained (and I also saw it in Runner's World magazine) that some runners do it so that their bodies will get used to using fat to fuel instead of carbs. The idea is that by the time you go to run the full marathon your body is used to this and you don't have to…

Also the fact that he can't add people makes me suspicious.

I wish I could gain muscle in my thighs and butt, I would also like to know the secret to going to the gym for a month and gaining so much my pants rip.

Basically the OP wants to know how to beat cravings for sweets, and everyone's getting caught up in arguing about whether one can lose weight if he or she drinks diet pop or whether it's actually an addiction, etc. Basically I think the important thing is to have a plan for when the cravings hit. I absolutely love sweets…

I'm getting married in February. I started to try to lose weight focusing mostly on a marathon in October but I recently realized I really need to lose fat and gain some muscle to find a dress I like.

I make sure I drink a glass with each meal or snack.

It's not high school, I don't need to be told that I "fit in." It's fine to not join a gym if you're not comfortable but I don't need affirmations on my workout equipment.

I don't care about a gym serving pizza, nobody has to eat it. I just don't like their overall attitude. Why do they have to put others who ARE serious about health or weightlifting down? I've seen the commercials featuring muscley guys and good looking, thin women and they tout that they aren't like that there. I guess…

I think MFP is different by nature, but on other platforms I do think it's because people need to feel good about themselves. I read an article encouraging people to post selfies because it shows love of yourself but I completely disagree. When I think of the people on my friends list the people who post selfies the most…

They aren't really the same thing, but I do think clean eating is important. A lot of people on here are only interested in CICO and say it doesn't really matter as long as it fits your calories or macros. That's true for weight loss, but there are so many other aspects to health other than weight. I think it's a lot easy…

IDK I just used the iifym site and it says my TDEE is 1700, I usually eat that much or a bit more and I lose weight.

Even as someone who is just a few pounds overweight (usually between 5-12 pounds overweight) I can definitely say that it effects my performance with sports. The lighter I am the better I run. And I'm also less hot in the summer. So it drives me crazy when people say I just want to lose weight for vanity because I really…

No

Depends on if they're mostly breast tissue or more fat. You won't lose breast tissue. Personally I think I look a little better when fat comes off mine and they're more breast tissue even if they are smaller.

Dang, what's the point if I can't make it!?
