How long is it safe to do IF?
Hi All, I have been doing IF for about three months now, (18:6) and have been really benefiting from it. I was wondering how long it is safe to do it. I'm not in any danger of losing too much weight at this point.

I used to love meat, but now I'm tired of it.
I used to love meat. I couldn't seem to eat enough. Now the thought of it makes me a little nauseous. Does this mean I am eating too much protein? My diary is open and I am open to suggestions. I also seem to be at a weight loss plateau.

Questions about maintenance
I am getting fairly close to my goal weight by eating below 30 g of carbs a day. I don't want to continue to lose at the rate I have been losing and I don't want to gain it back either. I would love to have some advice on how to maintain my weight loss without getting too thin. I have thought of going to below 50 g of…

Carbs and Fiber
Hi, I was wondering if you subtract your fiber from your carbs, in order to keep your carbs low and stay in fat burning mode? I am quickly running out of carbs and proteins, long before calories and fats.

Carbs and Fiber
I am really having a hard time staying under 30 carbs. I am a small person and need to lose 40lbs. I was wondering if I should subtract the fiber from my carbs. One ounce of oatmeal or a small mandarin orange usually blows the day for me.

Staying under 30g of carbs and still getting enough calories
Hi All, I have a question. I'm having a hard time both staying under my 30g-50g of carbs and still getting 1200 calories. I am a 5'4 female and am fairly active. I know I need more calories because I'm 500 calories or so under most days. I understand that I should be eating 100g to 125g of protein a day. (125lbs is my…

Want gr/oz but MFP doesn't have that option.
Hi Everyone, I am trying to be very precise about my logging but it seems that I keep stumbling across measurements such as med. something or other or 1/2 cup whatever. I want to measure my food with my kitchen scale but often the database doesn't have that option. Also I make most everything from scratch but end up…

Getting enough calories
I'm new to the HCLF WOE and am having a lot of trouble getting enough calories. I usually hit the carbs (and sometimes even the proteins) before I come anywhere near enough calories and then of course I stop eating cause I don't want to go over on the macros. I'm going under in calories every day but don't know how to fix…

Looking for Clean Eating Friends
Hi, I've been doing MFP for a month. I'm a "wanna be" clean eater and cook mostly from scratch for my family and numerous guests. I'd love to have some new friends who are clean eaters too. If anyone is willing to share your dairy, I'd like to add you. I'd love to have a peek for ideas. My Best!

Maintaining for two weeks
Hi, I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice. I seem to be stuck. I lost about 3 lbs my first week doing MFP and the last two weeks I haven't lost anything. I have even gained a couple of lbs. I'm eating almost no sugar, or flour and staying below my Calorie requirement. I am "eating back" the calories from…
