Shirataki Noodles?
All I know are the advantages of Japanese shirataki noodles (zero calorie, lots of fibre), but do any health conscious MFPers know if they’re secretly bad for you? They’re very tempting if I can go nuts on the noods and not worry about calories

Russian twist + tailbone
Does anyone else’s tailbone feel like it’s digging into the mat and ground when doing Russian twists? Mine gets very uncomfortable, like there’s too much weight on that little point on the end of the tailbone when I get into that position and am wondering if I’m doing it wrong?

Met calorie goals but very hungry
I’ve lived the 1200cal life before, and didn’t find it very hard last time but I’m constantly hungry on my 2018 diet.
