Low carbs special effect?
Hello everyone, So I've been on this wonderful site for almost 1 month so far and I feel great! However, I'm confused about the "low carbs" issue. Some people said that, for weight-loss, it doesn't matter what kind of food you take in as long as you're within you're set calorie intake (Note: I'm getting the nutritions and…
Diet/zero-calorie soft drinks?
Hello everyone! Now I know that zero-calories are not fattening at all so I was wondering if I can have like 3-4 cans a week and be safe? What is the downside to drinking those drinks when it comes to weight loss? Thanks for your help in advance! :)
Ramadan!
Hello everyone! So I'm a muslim and as some of you may already know, we have this month of the lunar calendar called "Ramadan". We basically fast everyday in that month from dawn till sunset.

Eating less or exercising and eating more?
I'm a 19yo 222lb 5'8 male. I was wondering which option is better for fat loss? My shape is too good for 222 pounds as I have built muscles in the past 7-10 years as I'm a soccer player but it all changed when I started university. (I guess my weight is mostly muscle weight) I burn around 3000 cals just by being alive and…
"Nutritious" 1200 calories?
So I've been reading about this thing called "Starvation mode". How true is it? I'm a 19yo 222 pound 5'8 ft. Male. My goal is 180-190 pounds in 15 weeks. I can easily exercise for an hour (leisure biking/brisk) while keeping the 1200 calories intake. Is that healthy? Note that the 1200 calories are coming from fruits/vegs…
