Need a TDEE partner or at least TDEE advice/ guidance.
I'm 5'2 and 124lb. I want to lose 10lb. I want to not be controlled by calorie/ macro counting. It doesn't work for me.

Thoughts towards probiotics supplements?

Why is juicing so popular?
I've read that juicing is supposed to be extremely healthy for you. That they act as a diuretic, aiding weightless and digestion, and iare full of essential nutrients, but aren't the juices very high in carbs and sugar? Wouldn't they do the opposite of what people say the juices do?

Lose fat, not weight ?!
How can I lose fat but maintain my weight? I'm 5'1 and 116lb. I've read a million things, but they all say to eat a calorie deficit. I thought that if you burning more than you ate would cause weight loss. I don't want to go down on the scale, I just want to become slimmer...
