Vegetarians and Vegans?
I just recently became a vegetarian about three months ago, and I haven't met many vegetarians or vegans on this site. I'm actually planning to become vegan once I move to a different town (there isn't any support in the one I currently live in) and I would love to friend more people who share the same views as me! Also,…

Why must people on this site be so cruel?
I realize that it's not a perfect world, but seeing people put others down on this website really upsets me. I constantly see myfitnesspal members complain about people at the gym who aren't as advanced as them, or they put down the people who don't do the same exercises or have the same weight-loss method. Everyone loses…

How can people stand being on low-carb diets?
Whenever I eat less than 200 carbs I feel so weak and I have literally no energy. I always try to have some complex carbs for every meal because without them I'm never satisfied. If I could I would live off toast, oatmeal, and bananas. :) I was just wondering what everyone's opinion on low-carb diets were because I know a…

People that only care about calories.
This question is primarily directed towards the people who calorie count but don't worry about fat/sodium/sugar/ect. Have you lost weight on only counting calories? If so, do you think it's better to just count calories and not worry about the other factors of food that can hinder weight loss? I personally worry about both…

What is your opinion on teenagers joining MFP?
I'm eighteen, so technically I guess I can still be considered a teenager; but my question is directed towards those who are under eighteen. Do you think it's appropriate for a sixteen-year-old to be concerned about his/her weight? I know when I was sixteen I didn't care about what I ate and it caught up to me. I…

A tip to help with binging
Today I noticed that I've been binging a lot lately, so I came up with an idea to help me keep track of my "good" and "bad" days. I found a calendar for this month and I'm going to start highlighting the bad days with pink, and the good days with yellow so I know how often I binge. I'm going to reward myself with something…

What is your favorite "Cheat Meal?"
I try to allow myself one or two cheat meals a week because as long as it's not a binge it won't affect my progress. My favorite unhealthy treat to have is cookie dough. If I could I would live off it, and no matter how healthy I eat I'm still going to have some every once in a while. Also I'd like to ask if you find…

How can I get my mother to eat healthy?
I'm really worried about my mother's health. She only eats one or two meals a day and they're both about 1,000 calories or more. She keeps making excuses to not eat healthy, like she blames stress and keeps saying that she wants to get on a diet plan. I've told her countless times that she doesn't need to spend so much…

Is this a bad thing to be envious of?
I know this is a little odd, but I'm actually really jealous of the people who've lost a lot of weight and have phenomenal before and after pictures. Not that I would ever want to be overweight, but I'm just saying that I would love to know the feeling of accomplishing something that amazing and life changing. I can't even…
