@slant It doesn’t have to be all or nothing. When I stopped in the past, first I went to just estimating calories versus weighing and measuring, and aiming for total daily calories within a 300 cal range, depending on my hunger and activity level for the day. That was effective for me.

@roseuk yes totally. probably cream (most fat, least carbs) is best for staying close to a fasting metabolism/not triggering insulin...

@tongdtbds4 thanks for your message! I just wish I could do TRUE IF but man plain tea or coffee is so depressing! I just like some milk or unsweetened soymilk in my coffee. Skipping breakfast does help me stay in my calorie limit tho as well even if it's not IF!

@roseuk Do you do black coffee? I am okay not eating til noon or so but I need a coffee and I don’t like it black lol!

@joyinyah I use a little brown sugar style monk fruit sweetener and then a dollop of creamy peanutbutter on top. It gets melty... so good!

@joyinyah I found this really tough when recovering from an ED. I think the best thing you can do is work with a dietician or nutritionist on a structured food plan. It shouldn't be crazy strict or anything, but eating a healthy amount at healthy time intervals will help you relearn what a meal...

@hendricks62 By "looking like you work out" sounds like you mean "looking like you have really low body fat and tons of visible muscles." If you pay attention, people who are fit DO look different - even if they're not very lean.

@kingshellie I suggest finding ways to workout at home/not at the gym. Get a weight set and resistance bands; find workout videos you like; get a Peleton; go running at night, whatever. If you are a night owl, trying to work against that rather than with it is setting yourself up for a lot of...

@athleteto Eating healthy doesn’t inherently lead to weight loss - a calorie deficit does.

@called2 Running is the best ab workout IMO Swimming and rowing as well

@wargame_junkie Dehydration, low blood sugar, or both.

@wedemars You’re at a great, healthy weight for your size right now. If you feel good... let it be! Feel good and enjoy lifting heavy.

@jordan221 It depends on you. I am prone to hypoglycemia and my blood sugar is more stable when I eat less carbs - including fruit - and more fat. I used to eat a lot of fruit but now I limit myself to one piece/serving a day. If you’re worried about the glycemic index, pair it with something...

@allthingsarebecomenew Exercise is a life-long habit. Half-assing it is a lot better than nothing! There are times when we won't have the time or energy to go hard and that is okay! If you can't make your schedule work, maybe some external structure will help like doing fun classes. But...

@hlb I think instead of fighting your impatience you should find ways to workout that you enjoy. Dance classes, martial arts, rock climbing, hiking, long walks with the dog, yoga, whatever. TO be healthy, you just need to MOVE. you don't need a perfect workout scheduled. Moving in ways you enjoy...

@jesusisking1 For me yes. Especially because belly is where I tend to gain.

@jeremiahk Wear a mask to work. Consider you may have immune compromise from COVID if you are constantly getting sick. Take care of yourself accordingly.

@jeremiahk Why is it impractical? Are you modeling or working with people who need to read your lips?

@sweetkf omg I lost three pounds and two people commented on it. I was like YIKES I know I can see the difference but it's actually visible to other people??? :😱:

@jamie2 Avocados + avocado oil, nuts + seeds + their butters, olives + olive oil are all excellent for you! Those are my "green light" fats. My "yellow light" fats are more saturated: coconut, coconut oil/cream/milk, cacao + dark chocolate, vegan butters.
