Intermittent fasting, I don’t get it
Pretty much what the title says. I’ve seen all these posts about how 16:8 changed people’s lives, and I want to understand. Is it really so normal to be eating more than 8 hours a day anyway? I feel really stupid but I don’t understand how it’s different from just a normal day.

Basmati Rice/Bread
I was trying to get my carbs down by replacing the rice I have with meals (such as curry etc) with things like cauliflower rice. I do like these taste wise, but none of them fill me up and I'm ravenous only an hour or so later. But if I eat the portion of rice (weighed out), it fills me up for hours. This is the same as if…

Zombies, Run! for fitness
I've found that Zombies, Run! has helped me keep exercising more than literally anything else. So I thought I'd see if there were any other Runner 5's around, and maybe might be interested in starting a group to chat about Abel, New Canton, and getting fit that way. For anyone who doesn't know, but might be interested.…

I am so unfit, can't even get up into a push up position, and can only manage about 15 minutes sweating on the elliptical. I made some awful food choices,…

Advice on sugar goals
I’m consistently over the sugar goals MFP sets me (though usually under calories), does it matter that much? I just eat a lot of fruit and having a mango, couple of apples, satsumas, and a banana sends my sugar goal through the roof. Should I cut back on fruit? Honestly I’d rather not, fruit helps me stay full, is…

Fitness Tracker and MFP exercise
I have my garmin connected to MFP and usually it's great, but for the past few days it's gone bananas. It's been sending every exercise to MFP about 10 times, meaning is looks like I've done about 6 hours exercise per day, when really it was about 45 minutes. Anyone else have this or a similar problem? How do I stop it…
