Addison's Disease / Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome
I know this won't get any responses, but just checking out there in MFP land and yes I want to vent... Has anyone else been diagnosed with Addisons Disease? Apparently it's not something doctors check for even if you have all the symptoms. I had to ask for the test after my chiropractor told me what he thought he had. You…

I'm doing standard keto which is no more than 20 grams of carbs a day. My macros are set at 75% fat, 20% protein and 5% carbs. I'd love fellow ketoers! Add me as as a friend if you'd like! I've been on this food plan for about 6 weeks now.

Protein/Fat/Carb Ratios....What's working for you?
I lost the weight and am into managing my body fat. I think my Carbs are set to high by MFP. I don't want to randomly adjust it. Any suggestions on what is working for you? I've heard 55/30/15 (Carbs/Protein/Fats) is good, but the carbs seem so high. I usually try to get about 100 g. protein a day (and that isn't easy…

Men envision all women they see...
Naked??? Seriously I heard this on a radio talk show on the way home from work..... Men envision all women naked. The topic stayed with me the next day as it was a little unsettling at work with all the guys around. The ladies started chatting about it at the water cooler. One of the guys walked by and he agreed. He says…

DON'T END UP IN THE "ER" FOR SOMETHING THIS EASY TO FIX!
DRINK YOUR WATER! True story . . . My husband ended up in the ER on Saturday night. He was out with his brother, some friends and our adult son. He told my son he didn't feel well and then hit the floor. He was out for 10 minutes. He came to and passed out again a few minutes later. They had already called 9-1-1 and the…

SERIOUS HELP - Need low sugar food choices.
My calories are way under every day, but I'm usually over on sugar - which I get mostly from fruits and veggies. My doctor and my nutritionalist both say "sugar is sugar, it doesn't matter where it comes from". They say that is why I'm retaining the belly bulge even though I'm 5'6" and down to 132 lbs, 27% body fat. So now…

Zerona Laser Treatments - fat removal?
Has anyone heard about Zerona Laser Treatments? I've heard good and bad things, but mostly good. Just curious if anyone has considered it or has had it. Just in case you haven't heard of it, it's a cold laser treatment where "the lasers painlessly glide over your body" where it "emulsifies adipose tissue so the fat can be…

RUNNERS BODY FAT 20% UNREALISTIC???
I met my weight goal and then slacked off on my walking, which I was doing every day. My weight has held steady but I need to get my body fat percentage down.

Any body fat challenges out there?
I am almost at my goal weight .... 5 pounds away, but my body fat is still any issue. I'm at about 30%. I'm going to start my workouts (steadily now) next week. I know as I add on muscle my weight will stay the same or go up, but the fat % will go down. My scales is pretty accurate with the body fat % compared to my…

Need to up my calories but not my fat, carbs or sugar...
My calories are always way under. I already eat an ounce or two of almonds every day. My protein is already way over each day. My carbs, fat and sugar are borderline so I can't up too much there. I need something else that I can munch on sporadically throughout the day. My job doesn't allow for much sitting to take a break…
