Weight and SSRIs/Zoloft/Anti-Depressent
I've been on generic Zoloft setraline for about 6 months now and my weight has slowly creeped up about 10-12 lbs. I've tried every diet in the book, including the Medifast Optavia diet. Many many people lose tons of weight on it and I was struggling to shake off a mere 5 lbs. I had enough and decided to call my doc to…

Salads = low carb killer. Could it be?
This may sound crazy but...has anyone found that cutting out salads has helped them hit their macros? I'm in induction so I'm at 20g carbs and found that when I focus my meals on protein and my oils, I just hit the mark. The second I start logging a big leafy green salad with broccoli and cauliflower and string beans, my…

There are HOW many carbs in that?!?
Did anyone else have this moment of awakening when they started the LCHF lifestyle? I used to chew packs of sugar free gum at a time..and now I see that each piece has 2 carbs! The passion fruit iced tea I used to get from Starbucks (unsweetened without lemonade) has 12 carbs! Sugar free halls have 5 or 6g each! What are…

Carbs or net carbs?
I know this has been talked about a lot. But I've been in ketosis for 3 weeks and haven't lost a pound. I've been hitting 24 g carbs per day---probably 16g or so net. I want to go by net but I'm not even losing when I fall under 20! I strive for around 60-65 g protein, 95-110g fat. I'm 130.0, 5"3. Help me! What can I do?!…

Ordering roasted veggies at food bar
How many calories do you add when you order roasted veggies at a prepared food bar? I logged roasted cauliflower but I don't think this accounts for the oil used. The food isn't particularly oily but it's not oil-free by any means.

RX Bars and PaleoBar by Designs For Health
I recently had a shoulder injury so I've been replacing a meal or two per day with a Vanilla Almond coated PaleoBar by Designs For Health (filling and easier to eat with one hand!) These bars have some questionable ingredients so instead of ordering another box I decided to order a variety pack of RxBars. I'll typically…

Weighing food
Hi! Just got a food scale and have some questions. Hope someone can help: Do you weigh food raw or cooked? Hot or cold? Does this make a difference? With salmon or chicken, is the 5 oz rec for the cooked weight? As far as veggies so, I assume a cup of raw cauliflower would weigh more than baked. Would cool baked…

Losing Weight/Calorie goal
Hi there I'm 5"2.5 and hover between 129 (on a great day) and 133.

I've gotten there about five years ago. The MFP app recommends…
