Why do people choose to do LCHF?
So it seems like low carb isn't very healthy because it makes people go into keto, yaddy yaddy ya. But if this true, if low carb isn't healthy and it causes all sort of health problems, why do so many people go on low carb diets/start a low carb lifestyle? I guess what I'm trying to ask is: just how bad is the LCHF diet? I…

Net carbs or total carbs?
Which should I track? Are there any low-carbers out there who track net carbs? If so, why? The same goes to all low-carbers who track total carbs.

Is there a way to log food but not calories?
I want to keep track of what I Eat but I've stopped counting calories. But I still want to keep track of the different things I eat to make sure that I'm eating as healthily as I think I am. Does anyone know how to do this/does anybody do this? Should I just manually make all the calories 0? The goal is to make MFP…

High Carb Low Fat / Raw 'Till 4
So I am trying a modified version of HCLF Raw 'Till 4 and I was wondering if anyone has had any experiences. My name is Canaan by the way. I am not planning on eating a minimum of 2500 calories, because that is WAY too much. I'm keeping my goal closer to 1200 - 1300. And I will eat lentils and other legumes. And I am not…

Feeling hungrier on high protein diet
Recently, I've attempted to lower my carbs and eat more protein and fat. I thought it would be the best way to lose fat, yaddy yaddy ya. Long story short, I ended up feeling much hungrier than usual, and I turned into a carb vacuum a few hours later. Am I doing something wrong? I thought high protein and fat was supposed…

What would happen if we ate like wild animals?
This may sound like a very odd question (bordering on the troll side of odd) but I am quite curious as to what would happen. So. To explain myself further: You know how several wild animals (let's take lions, for example) gorge themselves on food when it's available then go for a few days without eating? What would happen…

How to make veggie noodles without a spiralizer
So you know how people can take a carrot or a sweet potato and turn it into spaghetti? Yeah well I would like to do that but I don't know about convincing my parents to go out and buy a spiralizer. Does anybody know how to make carrots into pasta? Or sweet potato? Or zucchini? Could I use a potato skin peeler or a knife?…

How do I use this?
So how do I use this handy new machine I found in my basement? Do I just swing away like I'm on a funky treadmill?

What's the difference between a lifestyle change and a diet?
I know I'm supposed to be doing a lifestyle change, but if the new lifestyle is counting calories, isn't that just a diet? If I decide to count calories for the rest of my life, does that count as a lifestyle change? How much has to change before a diet becomes a lifestyle?

I think I'm losing weight too quickly
Hello my fellow myfitnesspalians! So today I hopped on the scale, and lo and behold! I weigh ... 155 pounds. Great!!!! The only problem is, I weighed 156 pounds yesterday. I know that healthy weight loss is 1 - 2 pounds a week ... not 1 -2 pounds a day. Am I doing something wrong? I think I ate pretty healthily yesterday.…

Why is measuring food using cups so inaccurate?
You know how people say to always weigh their food instead of using measuring cups to judge how much you're eating? Well I was wondering why measuring cups are so inaccurate. Like it makes sense that using a measuring cup to measure out 1 cup of flour could cause some discrepancy depending on how much the flour is packed…

Is there such thing as bad motivation to lose weight?
So my cousin and I were discussing reasons for losing weight, and one of my reasons were so I look good and feel confident in a crop top. I have other reasons, such as the energy I gain, and the fact that healthy food just makes me feel better overall than unhealthy foods, and how much I love to see the progress and yaddy…

How long until I can feel results?
So I have a certain pair of jeans that I want to use to track my progress, but I have a few questions. My first is, how often should I try them on? I can *barely* fit them over my legs, and when they are finally on, I can't move. Should I try to tug them on once a week? Also, assuming I am losing 1 pound a week, how long…

Intuitive eating and calorie counting
Forever trying to find ways to lose weight in a sustainable manner (aka trying to make a lifestyle change), I stumbled upon intuitive eating the other day and I decided to give it a try. The only thing is, the main tenant of intuitive eating is no restriction, and I feel like if I try to incorporate calorie counting with…

Am I supposed to be this hungry?
It's the end of the day and for some reason, I still feel like eating something. I know I'm not physically hungry, but I call it hunger because I want to eat even though I don't need to. Am I even making any sense? The thing is, I feel physically satisfied. But for some reason, I can't shake the feeling of "I want to eat…

Is anyone else losing weight without a specific goal in mind?
Wazzup MFP. So here I am. 5'10" 163 pounds. Not fat. But pretty darn close to overweight by BMI standards. A little nervous about that. I want to slim down. I have a picture of my goal in mind. I want a body like Raven Elyse (google image Raven Elyse instagram). She's an inch taller than me, with a similar body shape. I'm…
