Health checkup, first dexa scan, quitting my diet
Went in for my yearly health checkup today. I been waiting 3 long weeks for this day as I was planning to quit my diet 3 weeks ago. But figured since the health checkup is around the corner I’d keep it up until the checkup was done. As each day got closer, the hunger pangs were getting unbearable. All I could think about…

chicken broccoli and rice diet
Chicken, broccoli and rice. Egg and oatmeal. How many people eat this on a daily basis and do you do it because you believe that it's the best diet to reach your goal or for some other reason?

Obviously there are discrepancies, but trying to figure out which one is more accurate.

How to set an appropriate goal?
I have never had a weight or body fat goal in mind that I was trying to hit. Instead I always used the "try to be the best version of your self" approach. Unfortunately, I am losing motivation to be the best version of my self now. Even maintaining at this point doesn't seem like it is worth the effort. How do you set your…
