I always overeat at breakfast!
My general intake is around 1500 cals, but I often wake up super early in the morning feeling extremely hungry, usually around 5 am, but sometimes as early as 4! For whatever reason my urge to nibble and graze after eating the +/- 400 calorie breakfasts I usually prepare in advance (unsweetened oatmeal with fruit and nuts,…

Binge eating spiraling out of control :(
Around this time last year I was comfortably at 125 lbs (I'm 5'7") but looking to tone up (that's the weight I am at in my photo). I realized I was going to put on a little weight in doing so, but that's ok. Ever since I have begun taking on more life responsibilities however, it feels like I've been moving so much less…

How to manage appetite increase when starting birth control pills? Will it go away??
A bit of backstory-- I am currently 22 years old and been successfully maintaining a 75 lb weight loss.

For reference, I'm a 5'7" 133-136 (fluctuating) lb female, 21 years old. Been eating 1,530+ calories as opposed to my regular 13-1400, adjusted my macros to what my trainer specified, and I am pretty sure I am just getting fat. My body feels softer, my face looks fuller, my boobs got bigger (a sure sign!) and my clothes…

For reference, I am 20 years old, 144 lbs, 5"7 and my measurements are 34-29-37 I started out at 203 pounds, which I put on very rapidly with depression and emotional eating. 3 years ago I started the Medifast diet and lost the bulk of the weight that way in a little under a year, which I realized way too late was a…

Is Maintenance Really Impossible?
Everywhere I look I am confronted by statistics saying anybody who loses a significant amount of weight WILL gain it back, there is almost no doubt. They said 99% of people who diet will regain all the lost weight and then some... I can understand that some people are naturally larger, and maybe just don't have the right…

Extreme nausea and inability to finish meals, help?
I've been on Medifast for over five weeks and I LOVE it, feel wonderful, have had no problems with the food, but recently I began taking birth control and have been so nauseous I can barely eat all 5 meals, some of them even make me feel like puking just by looking at them! I have another week before I can stop the pill,…
