Time for reverse diet?
I have been on a consistent 1775 calories per day for the last 100 days (some days higher some lower but that’s been my weekly average). I just completed a 12 week work out program that consisted of 5-6 days a week if 45 min circuit strength sessions followed by 30 minutes cardio. I am otherwise fairly sedentary. My tdee…

Help with macros- Do I really need 170g of protein a day???
I just read that to the best macro ratio for a cut is 1g of protein for every lb of body weight. I'm 170 lbs. Do I really need that as a woman? I just want to lose fat. I have a good amount of muscle and don't need to bulk or anything

Bad DOMS - could that explain sudden weight spike
Ok everyone, my diet has not been perfect but I. Have been keeping everything between 1600- 1900 cals on "cheat days" and closer to 1300 cals every other day. I was doing Keto fairly successfully and went down to 164. Then there was a cheat day that included sugar- boom out of ketosis and immediately up to 168 for a few…

Starting whole30 June 1st.
I'm preparing to start the whole30 in June 1st. Looking for a buddy or two to keep me accountable. I don't have any chronic health issues but am hoping to see the lbs start to drop easier and clearing up my skin, brain fog, sugar addiction etc. Anyone who wants a buddy- connect with me and we can keep each other in check.

If one's BMR is 1500 - is it wise to eat a 1200 cal diet
I have been calculating my BMR to see why the last two weeks haven't been a bit more fruitful. I wasn't expecting a windfall of weight loss... but it would have been nice to see a down on the scale rather than an up. Based on my BMR of 1532 - and a TDEE of 2106, I should expect to lose a lb per week at 1600. Not so much...…

Can I loose weight without starving?
Is it possible to loose weight if you eat when you're hungry and stop when you're full? Or do I have to starve? It seems the only time I've ever succeeded with loosing is through starvation (HCG a year ago and unhealthy crash diets in my 20s). I have given myself a good "break" from dieting for a good 9 months but I don't…

Need a Pep Rally. Help me get on the scale
After about 4 months of not weighing myself... in an effort to gain control of my emotions by not living and dying by the scale... It's backfired and My. Pants. Don't. Fit. Anymore. I'm about 5 weeks in to a heavy weight training plan and I'm definitely getting stronger, so I don't want weight gains to scare me into…

Recovering HCH dieter... trying to loose weight naturally now and NOT happening
I have completed two rounds of HCG and lost 15 lbs each time, and each time, I gained it back because I started to eat normally. Normally for me is clean, gluten free, dairy free. The weight just crept back up FAST each time as soon as I reintroduced starch/sugar. I stabilized around 154 and then went on vacation for 2…

Eat your exercise calories?
I'm a breastfeeding mom of a 6 month old and in the past, I have found that when I eat the calories set for me plus the extra 500/day plus my workout calories, I don't loose weight. I'm afraid though, that if I don't eat my workout calories, I will crash my metabolism. Any thoughts???
