Nausea even on a moderate calorie deficit
Does anyone else get indigestion and nausea for the first few weeks after “getting back on the wagon” I am currently doing a moderate caloric deficit (I am not under eating) and I have nausea and indigestion by the end of the day. This happens almost every time I get back on the wagon with calorie counting and eating at a…

Getting ready to run - injuries
Every time I try to start running I get shin splints even if I start out VERY slow. Slower than couch to 5k slow. I have gone to running stores and even was fitted with good quality shoes. I have had trouble with collapsed arches in the past and have tried doing minimal support shoes during the week and around the house to…

Is hunger on deficit like this for you?
I've tried cutting my calories to around 1400 to 1500. I'm only 5'3 with sedentary Job so I didn't think this would be too intense. I've been eating high protein high fiber whole foods and after a day of eating 1400-1500 calories I'm woken up in the early morning by severe hunger pangs. Those of you who've eaten lower…

Intuitive/mindful eating
It seems silly to ask this question on myfitnesspal, a calorie counting website, but I am curious if others had a similar experience. For a very long time, I have yoyo'd between being on a diet (counting every bite i take) and off a diet eating all of the food I desire. I was at the end of my rope with it and decided if I…

Getting back into running
When I was in my teens I really enjoyed running outside and used to do 2-3 miles 5 days a week. Fast forward to a desk job and it's gotten a little harder to stick with it. I really want to get back but every time I start trying I get shin splints almost immediately, even with supportive running shoes I was personally…

Hangovers on a deficit
I've been back on the wagon tracking consistently for a few weeks. This weekend I went to a wedding and ate light in the beginning of the day to plan for the food and booze I would consume later. I drank a fair amount and the next day I was ravenously hungry along with my mild hangover. Eating on a deficit with increased…

Don't Stop Believing
Well, I have. Have you ever lost faith in yourself with trying to lose weight? It seems that I've tried so many times and I just keep failing. At some point, it feels like you're a lost cause if you can't get it right. Have you ever been this low about weight loss and come back from it? How did you do it?

Binge eating/emotional eating
I've been on a binge diet cycle since I was about 12 and now 29, I don't want to quit entirely but I want out of the cycle. I am ready to be patient and kind. I know everyone is very pro tracking on mfp, but for those who have conquered binge eating...would a good first step to really ending my binge diet cycle to stop…

Is "metabolic damage" real?
I've been seeing some youtube videos and posts about healing "metabolic damage" from being either a severe yo yo dieter or having gone on a very restrictive/borderline starvation diet in the past. Is metabolic damage even real? I thought that your cells were fairly resilient to your changing environment or have others…

Why am I so hungry
I'm a 5'3 woman with a desk job and I am trying to get back on track and I am having the hardest time. I am starting at 1600 calories to try to get used to eating less since MFP puts me even lower than that. I do everything all the articles say drink water, eat high fiber, high protein foods, don't eat refined carbs, and…
