Update about moderation...
Yesterday I posted a thread saying I will try to eat sweets in moderation while keeping them in the house... http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10093065/scared-of-trying-moderation UPDATE TO THAT THREAD: Yeah...uh....I think I'll stick to just keeping them out of the house and buying single portions...because…
How long does it take to get used to lower calories?
Hi everyone. So, I've been sick with a tummy bug and for most of that week I ate like 500 calories a day because of that. I've had a few days of maintenance after that (to replenish lost energy), and now this week it's back to my deficit. It's such a small deficit, (only 250 calories a day) yet now I'm STARRRRVVVING!!!…
Flavoured water
98% of the water I drink everyday is flavoured with something, wether it be coffee, tea, lemon, cucumber, or sugar free concentrated flavouring. My mom tells me water stops serving it's purpose of flushing out your system if you add anything to it. Is that true? If it is, how come I still pee so much ??
I can't keep sweets in the house...
They bother me and whisper to me until I eat the whole container of whatever it is. In this case chocolate truffles. I had a container of 12 and just ate all of them. Guess I'll have my "cheat" day today then in place of tomorrow... eh. :smiley:
Tips for you to lose weight successfully
I see so many people here that give up so quickly, because they aren't seeing results as fast as they should. So I thought I would share what worked for me. I'm a 22 year old female and have lost 50lb in the past 2 years. I have been counting calories that entire time. My secret and motivation? Well the truth is, I didn't…
Netted 500-600 calories -- worried
Will I lose a terrible amount of muscle if I'm sick and kind of uhm... (ok don't have a heart attack) netted only 500-600 calories the entire week? I'm in the middle of a cutting cycle but I admit I netted way below even half my normal calories. When I'm sick, I have no appetite. At all.
A little trick to get more protein in at breakfast
In my stryggle to try and get enough protein in, I discovered this little tweak. It's probably not new or anything, but it is new to me and I thought I would share it. I really like cereal. Any cereal. The funny kiddies cereal, oats, any breakfast cereal. But they don't give a whole lot of protein, so I started adding a…
One day "off" per week
Will it hurt my progress (of building muscle) if I have one day a week where I don't care about my macros and eat what I want (still in my calorie goals)?
Carbonated water
I usually add some zero calorie flavouring to carbonated water (I use an old fashioned soda-stream) and I drink that instead of still water, almost all day, every day. I love the fizzyness. Is it bad for your body in any way to drink carbonated water instead of normal water?
I've been advised to snack
My personal trainer suggested that I eat a snack between meals, but I know (and have seen) what that does to me. As soon as I start snacking, I want to snack...and snack....and snack....so snacking leads to more snacking. And then boom. Calories gone. For the next 3 days I need to live on salads to try and keep a deficit.…

I like to draw, and would love to share my art with a friend, in exchange for anything artsy you yourself have to show me or some good chatting..if you like. I will also support your weight…
Feeling sad and discouraged
I feel a little bit sad that I didn't keep my deficit this week. Because of...well, hormones. This time of month I eat EVERYTHING I normally don't eat. Lots of candybars, ice cream and....haha....dairy products. (Like ANYTHING with dairy, milk, cheese, cream you name it and I devour it) I'm probably a little over my…
Protein shakes... and gas.
Why do protein shakes make people fart so much?
Muscle soreness
So, is there anything else that can help DOMS go away faster, or is it really just rest alone? Stretching and protein shakes doesn't help a little then?
Wait what?? How??...
So I had my bodyfat % taken yesterday. Now a few months ago, it was 3% lower than was measured yesterday...the puzzling part is, my weight never changed? So a few months before I weighed 60kg, and my bf measured 26%. I still weigh 60kg, but yesterday it was measured at 29%. Besides human error with measuring, are there any…
Should I deal with the pain or wait it out?
Hi everyone. So I'm trying to build muscle. I wanted to know if it's bad for building in any way to use medicine to take out the built up lactic acid in them faster (or to get rid of the pain faster)?
My first bulk and cut...
Hi everyone. This is probably a bit weird but starting next week I'm starting my first EVER bulk and cut cycle. I'm SUPER excited about it. But my PT doesn't seem to be able to give me any advice on eating. I'm just wondering how the heck I'm supposed to eat so much protein...? I've worked out a little bit and it seems I…
