It varies. Generally anything less than a quarter of your daily calories from carbs is low carb https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK537084/

What he said + after emptying your bowels if you're backed up and not on the morning after eating a late dinner.

I took a deep dive into the GLP-1s because they're very interesting. You WILL get a metabolic boost on these drugs because they make your body more sensitive to insulin. In other words, your body makes less insulin. Less insulin means less fat accumulation. Dieting alone can do the same thing, but not to the same degree…

You will reduce muscle loss by increasing your protein intake to at least 1 gram per pound of body weight and continuing strength training. A 20 percent calorie deficit is reasonable for losing weight without incurring too much muscle loss, but you need to be consistent and fairly accurate about your calorie burn…

Ozempic aka Semaglutide will make you lose weight faster even if you did the same calorie restrictions without it. You won't want to eat as much though because you'll feel full. The hard part is keeping the weight off afterwards if you return to bad eating habits. It's your call.

No supplements, no results. They make vegan supplements.

Layers. Thermals. T-shirt underneath, long socks underneath. Sweats pants, hoodie, ski hat, gloves on top. For sub-zero add sunglasses and ski mask/balaclava.

Get a trainer to set you up with a plan and stick to it.

ChatGPT and Bing Copilot do this. Just lay out your macro goals, calories , number of meals and get as detailed as you want

See your doctor. Try an elimination diet. Try gluten-free.

I used invalign and it worked great. You have to pop them out, floss and brush each time you eat. So there's an incentive to eat less meals. Your mouth will be a little sore from the pressure the first week and you'll speak funny. This too shall pass.

Breakfast today was a protein shake = 1 scoop protein, 1 teaspoon creatine, 8oz grape juice, 8oz ice and 4 hardboiled eggs (not in the shake). I like the flavor and the convenience.

Eat your calories back. Just make sure you don't overestimate your calorie burn. If you ate 1000 calories and burned 3000 calories the same day, you would be stressing your body severely and you wouldn't recover well from that burn. You would lose fat, muscle and essential nutrients. Keep it up and you would get sick and…

Here's your executive summary: 1. Eat less calories than you burn and you'll lose weight. 2. Increase your protein intake in those "less calories" and you'll be less hungry and lose less muscle. 3. Add strength training to maximally protect that muscle tissue. 4. No need to go to zero carbs and ketosis to get these…

B12 is good for you, but it doesn't help with weight loss. No need to take shots unless you have a medical issue that requires a quick boost in your levels. I take a methylated B complex capsule because it supposedly absorbs best.

Get your vitamin D level checked. If it's low, your immune system is weak. Supplement as needed.

Bad smell means bad eggs until proven otherwise. I would tell your supermarket about the problem. Not worth getting salmonella over this.

You can dissolve 1 scoop of protein powder in less than 4 ounces of water. You can also eat it dry, but watch out for sneezing.

Go to My Exercises>Add Exercises and add your exercise name and details including calories burned into the database. You can create as many workouts as you want and name them however you please.

There's no precision in the numbers. If you want to lose fat and gain muscle at the same time, your best bet is a mild calorie deficit with high protein intake and regular weight training. A mild calorie deficit is 10-15%. A high protein intake is 1g/ lb of target body weight. Your percent body fat is only as accurate as…

1. Get a cooler and some ice. 2. Get some meal prep containers. 3. Stock up on foods that will go 2-3 days in the cooler before you start a trip and stock up as needed at supermarkets along the way. Roasted chickens are cheap and available everywhere. Get some fruits that don't need refrigeration.

Just go into chatGPT and ask how many calories you burn for your age, sex, weight, and height. To lose 1 pound per week, eat 500 calories less than you burn each day. If you want to lose more each week, eat less, but don't go crazy. You can't really gain muscle on a diet because building muscle requires eating extra…

I've been targeting 1800 net cals daily for the past 3 months divided into 3 daily meals, not a snacker. I pick a protein of 400-600 cals per meal - steak, ground beef, chicken, pork, turkey, seafood and build a salad around it, sometimes add eggs, cheese. I grill most things, do stews once in a while. Not boring. Example:…

Full fat dairy is the same as saying high calorie dairy, so you need to limit your portion sizes to keep the calories down.

Calories for meat depend upon the leanness of the cut and whether it's raw or cooked. Raw is most accurate. Search google and then find the closest match in MFP.

Weight loss requires that you eat less calories than you burn. Exercise helps, but it's only half of the equation.

It's not the size of the ball, but the air pressure in the ball that determines "squishability". Get the 55cm ball and inflate to a sufficient pressure to get to a level of adequate compression.
