@tarryn After one week of IF (aka skipping breakfast) I have suddenly found myself less hungry and snacky. This week I did eat breakfast, albeit smaller than my usual, because I was less hungry, and I felt more "in control" all day. Wonder if I somehow reset my appetite during that one week. I...

@lapinot My question is, I seem to be getting different information from different sources - eat less, eat more, fast, don't fast - and I wonder which direction to take. I also wonder if there is something to Smalletics beyond eat protein and build muscle. My goal is to lose fat and gain msucle...

(Yes, I have searched the forum for mentions of Smalletics and read all the threads. :-D ) I've been doing CICO in addition to my usual (longstanding) strength and cardio routine since June with modest results (0.5lb weekly loss). I recently stumbled across the r/intermittentfasting sub and...

@cevans07 I hear what you're saying. I was just so bowled over by the 37% number. It seems so, so high. I know I am fit too. My cardiovascular fitness is on the up and up. Just a soft and squishy physique. not gonna lie, my husband loves it. I am just having trouble understanding how it can be.

@dragonite No, he is not telling me not to weight train. He is telling me that in the particular block we are currently in, he doesn't want me to do weight work that will take away from my ability to perform increasingly difficult intervals. I am doing calisthenics now, but limited. Weight work...

@randks I'm on it!

@anonymitycodeboanerges I have a lot of flab unfortunately. I have been too embarrassed to take before pictures, but I have some of me in my kit and I plan to take another in the same kit in another 7 or so pounds.

@knicole97 Are you saying your scrambled tofus are a sweet variety? I've never heard of that, how interesting!

@perfpearl My thought was to "reset" and just start using the Index instead of continuing to get dexa scans. So if I just keep going and see a differential, that would be good too. But I take your point, and the point of others here, thank you.

@hjkisorjr That doesn’t look too hard actually.

I had a dexa scan in July that said I was 131 lbs and 37% bf. Ouch. So since then I have lost 14 lbs. I recently bought a Garmin Index smart scale. It says I’m 115-117 and 35-36% bf. I was so disappointed bc I figured losing over ten pounds would make at least a small dent in bf%. I’m not...

@joshslusser I will read up on insulin response. Thank you.

@hjkisorjr Can you recommend a recipe source for good and easy lentil curries?

I bought these pants from Target one time - they were on the clearance rack - and they are AMAZING. Super soft, good pockets, and they don't roll down my waist while I'm working out. My current batch of workout pants keep sliding down and I am always hitching the waist band back up. Alas, they...

Is this even possible? I would like to be more plant based and protein forward, but I don’t know how I’d get in 100g protein without meat and dairy. I don’t want to rely on protein powder because I’d really like to have all my calories as real food. Does anyone do this? Alternately, are there...

@aussiealways Purchased!

@aussiealways I will - thank you!

@aussiealways At my classes I will work until I have to move to one weight or body weight. I don’t press 200 if that is what you mean. Doctors orders due to back condition.

@tongdtbds4 I have a pear/hourglass shape naturally, and I'm very soft. Also (dunno how relevant this is but it messed with my head) recently I was bra shopping, and either I've been wearing the wrong size all this time or I've grown because I had to buy a D cup instead of a C cup. My husband...

@shadowinthelight Agree with the above and will add, focus on diet now and maybe work in some walks if you can do it. 80% of weight loss happens in the kitchen. You have to find a sustainable way of eating so you don’t feel deprived and fall off the rails. You might want to check out r/loseit...
