A breakfast that satiates almost all day and helps weight loss!
Just want to share my experience with everyone. I know oatmeal and fruit and all kinds of sugary cereals and hot drinks are a lot people's choice for breakfast. However, I have found that eleminating all carbs and sugar in the first meal of the day and replacing it with healthy fats (coconut oil, grassfed butter) and healthy proteins(eggs) REALLY satiates me for a long time. As a result of eating plenty of these fats and proteins in the morning I lost a significant amount of weight and maintained it. Has anyone had a similar experience or care to share your thoughts?

Pear-shaped people, how did you lose the stubborn leg and thigh fat?
I'm 169cm and 67kgs and I'm currently under a weight loss process that's been working so far, losing fat from all over the body. But I dread one thing: the leg fat. I'm pear-shaped and I know that even though I will lose a lot of fat to the point I look very thin, I will somehow still have fat in the lower area like my legs and thighs mostly. I have had 55 kgs in the past (my lowest weight and the same height) and still had that stubborn fat in my legs was there, thighs still chaffing, and I was really skinny in the superior area, looked weird. How do you manage that?

Day 250: Down 40lbs 29/m
Last week I officially hit the 40 lb bench mark for losing weight. I've also reached day 250 in MyFitnessPal. Long story short, like many others here, I was always a bigger kid. Never quite 100% comfortable in my body but never had enough motivation to do anything about it. I've "rollercoastered" up and down 20 lbs my entire life.
Fast forward to last July. I was getting over horrible depression from my mom passing away, dealing with a new job that at the time wasn't going so great, and being dad to three kids under the age of 3. I was the heaviest I have ever been, 250lbs is what my fitbit tells me (synced with aria scale). I was lazy, unmotivated, eating like crap and overall felt like crap.
I was having a conversation with my wife when she was bugging me what I wanted for my bday (also in july). After pretty much avoiding the conversation (yay depression) she asked me if i would be offended if she bought me a gym membership. In the 10 years previously she's seen my lose/gain the +-20lbs but saw how much better i did with a gym routine.
I reluctantly agreed (I knew it would be good for me to get over the depression at minimum). Soon after the first couple trips to the gym I knew i needed a plan. My father is an ex-bodybuilder so getting a weight regimen was never an issue. However, I knew this would require more than kicking my ass in the gym for a few hours a week. Ultimately, I found this sub and figured out the idea behind calorie counting. I started with roughly 2190 calories a day. I stuck to the budget and the 3/week running/lifting regimen. Slowly but surely I was losing the 1-2 pounds a week.
here are few before/after photos. http://ift.tt/1SoY2DP
My original goal weight was 220 from 250 but i've since moved it down to 205. I'm currently at 208. I've just recently switched my focus from true weight loss to now bulking up a bit. I'm now on a ~1900 calorie limit but doing everything in my power to get 200g of protein in a day. Let's just say "low cal" protein drinks are my friend now.
Either way, just wanted to share my story. For those looking to start, just do it. Its not easy, but the tracking calories turns into routine. I still very much have pizza, ribs, cake etc but leverage my calories to allow it. Its amazing how a protein drink in teh AM, a salad for lunch and then a few slices of pizza for dinner can still fit into your allotted calories. Of course, dont do it everything but definitely have fun, just stay disciplined :)

My weight loss journey, 2 years and 250 pounds lost.
Before/after picture. http://ift.tt/1UvIaDx
I'm not that good in English so be prepared . 4 years ago my doctor found out that I had big problem with pre diabetes and blood pressure . I was devastated to learn that at 24 years old I was sick like an old man ... It really throw me into a big deep depression . I took 70 more pounds in 2 years after that to be at my maximum weight 469 pounds ( I'm 6foot5). Then everything changed . I was sick at home unable to work (I'm a nurse...)because I had so much problem with my health and body. Life at this point was just horrible for me and I secretly wanted to die as quickly as possible. Then I received the phone call that changed my life for ever.. My dad was involve in a fatal car crash ... I was DEVASTATED . He was the only one on earth who understand me and loving me even if I was fat and really a failure for him . It was horrible for me . 3 day after he passed at exactly 3:21 a.m I wake up in my bed at my house cover in sweat because I had sleep apnea it was at this point a what call it ''fire'' exploded in me . It was at that point where I realize that I was really unhappy and in a freaking bad shape for a young men . I had an awakening I said to my self ( wow I'm really fucking fat and I'm NOT ok with this now). In the morning at 8 a.m I have call my doctor office to get an appointment for discussing weight loss . My doctor recommended me the bariatric surgery because my back and blood pressure was too bad for just exercise to lose the weight. I did wanted to lose it all by myself but I deceived to follow my doctor recommendation . I did one month without eating any sugar or bad food before the surgery because my liver was too big to operate my without too much risk . I lost 40 pounds just by cutting sugar , pop , fast food , fried food . Then my doctor removed 90% of my stomach ( I have the picture of my stomach outside me body if you want to see it ). Soon after the surgery I was able to take some walk and then begin my 2 years transformation (28 March 2014- now. I did a lot of cardio training in a gym with guidance of my doctor and trainers and managed to lost a good amount of weight .. 250 pounds to be exact . Started at 469 pounds and as today I weight 219 pounds ( which is kind of good for a 6foot5 guy). I am what I always wanted to be now , I'm in good shape both mentally and physically but the most important for me I don't feel now like a living failure. I will always regret that my dad is not able to see me now .. Happy and no longer morbidly obese . I am not the perfect example since I did get a bariatric surgery but god damn I just feel so alive now it's almost magical . I'm sorry if it was hard to read I'm on mobile and I'm not an expert in English but I wanted to share my stories with you r/loseit because some of you I'm sure still need motivation and if I was able to do it then anyone can do it ... Sometime you just need something to lit the fires side of you that you need to achieve what you want .

Am I the only one that thinks this subreddit does the opposite of its intentions?
I've been a member if this subreddit for a few months and I'm starting to realize that instead of giving me that extra little boost to lose the weight, I feel discouraged and that my efforts aren't good enough.
I keep seeing people lose crazy amounts of weight in short time frames and people applauding it. People losing weight by doing a calorie deficit, people doing keto and people bashing the gym because weight loss only happens in the kitchen.
I feel I've done well in the past year to lose weight, but every time I look at this subreddit I'm left discouraged that it hasn't been enough and I'm not doing it the right way.
Does anyone else feel like this? Maybe it's because of the voting system and the majority have a hard on for the keto diet, I'm not sure.

eating back exercise calories?
hello, I used http://ift.tt/Zpx1rH to calculate how much I should eat to lose weight, and it says I should eat about 1900 for fat loss(15m, 70kilo, 173cm and exercise 3x per week).
When I do my exercise now(bicycling for about 2 hours) should I eat back the calories I burned there? Or are the calories already somewhat calculated in the 1900 calories I should eat?
Thanks in advance

Doing the Impossible: Reversing Type 2 Diabetes and Losing 80 Pounds
Here’s how she did it (you can probably guess).
The Email
First off – your updated site is absolutely awesome – very professional, yet extremely user friendly! Congrats to all who worked to improve it!
Now, my update. You added my story a while back about ending my 26 year insulin, metformin, and a ton of other medication dependence.
The heaviest I was ever in my life was 264 lbs (120 kg), way back in 1992. From that time I had dropped to circling 200 to 220 (90–100 kg) for many years. I am 5’5″ (165 cm) and at 64 years of age I was morbidly obese.
I discovered Dietdoctor.com in early 2015. I studied it for several months then began following this way of living seriously in April of 2015. I was dedicated and determined and followed the plan of very strict low carb closely, until I would blow up and do something foolish, and begin again. This way of eating is simple, satiating and easy to manage and completely eliminated any need for insulin, metformin and all things diabetic, BUT, and this is a big but, one toe over the line into the carb world and my sugars soar! Thus, I call myself totally in remission, but not cured completely. The physiology of the plan for me is simple and when I added some long-term and short-term intermittent fasting, everything changed drastically!
Current stats, I am still 5’5″ (165 cm) but I now weigh 130 pounds (59 kg). I have eliminated all diabetic and cardiology medications. My blood pressure is a stable 94–97 over 64–68. My sugars are a constantly 4.3–4.9 mmol/l (77–88 mg/dl), quite amazing really considering they were frequently in the 30’s (500’s mg/dl) before!
From 210’ish (95 kg) to 130 lbs (59 kg) in just short of six months! More impressive are completely reset sugars, blood pressure, even my Crohn’s and esophageal diseases are improved. I think the fasting, many 3-day short term fasts and two 21-day total fasts really helped me. I find fasting very easy to do, once you get past the historic teaching of ‘need for food and to eat regularly’ you are, for the most part, fighting only your own mind and incorrect teaching about what our bodies can do! And that, in a nutshell, is my single remaining problem – the psychology of ‘carb addiction’. I can easily and strictly fast for 21 days but on day three of back to ‘normal’ eating I have ‘blown up’ and eaten a bit of junk…read carbs! My goal now is trying to learn the psychology of this system, cut my remaining carb addiction and live happily ever after as a diabetic in total remission with zero cardiac issues and almost completely free of medical challenges regarding diabetes and cardiology!
After 26 years of up to 172 units of Lantus daily with a sliding scale of short acting insulin and 2000 mg of metformin a day and statins and medications – this IS A MIRACLE for me!
If anyone has any insight into why I would fast completely, only water, for 21 days and then eat Scottish Tablet… read ‘fudge’…arrgghhh, on day three post fast. Please write and tell me! I am an older, wiser, retired RN who lives to read and learn – how could I be soooo stupid ? Yet, I have done it, not once but twice in just short of six months! Please email me (themynotts@gmail.com) if you can help… I surely do need it!
I can NEVER, NOT EVER say enough wonderful things about the ever evolving Dietdoctor.com and Dr. Andreas Eenfeldt and his guest Dr. Jason Fung! They LITERALLY saved my life! They can help you too! You just need to listen, learn, read and believe! Once I understood what my body could do to save me, thanks to Jason Fung’s teaching, and followed the lifestyle Andreas Eenfeldt is preaching. EVERYTHING in my life changed – every little thing! Thank you gentlemen, so very much!
Sincerely and with huge thanks !
Barb

Was worried about eating popcorn with salt last night...
Because I've been struggling with the last two or so pounds. However, I managed to break through those two pounds and decided it was time to have some air popped popcorn with some salt as a treat (it's been over a month since I've had some).
Dreading going on the scale this morning because I'm expecting some water weight from the salt and the carbs so late at night...
Scale says I dropped another 1.6 pounds since yesterday! Hopefully this is to be added to the progress I've been hoping for the past two weeks, since I've been working my arse off! A bit of a whoosh! That would be a real treat. Hopefully the loss sticks around.

Stuck in the same weight, any tips?
Hi, I'm a 20 yr old female, 5'9, weighing 153 pounds. My measurements are 34-29-40. I have lost 34 pounds since April of 2015. My highest weight was 187. My goal was to reach 135 pounds but I have difficulty going down past 150. I've done it before but that was 2 years ago when I weighed 155 and lost 15 pounds. Even though I lost that weight I feel like I didn't really do it in the best way, I ate out a lot but healthy food like pollo tropical or subs from publix. And I started playing soccer again and going running on weekday mornings and sometimes skipping meals. But it worked, my question is, what would be the best way to lean out and tone my body? These are my activities: Monday/Wednesday/Sat/Sun: 1hr intense soccer Tues/Thurs: 1hr of Herbalife exercises (push-ups, squats, weight training with dumbells, etc) And some weekday mornings I go running for 20 minutes. This is how I lost more of my excess weight, I really like Herbalife exercises but idk if that will be enough to tone my body or if I should sign up for planet fitness. What do you recommend for me? Also what kind of food should I eat in order to reach that weight and lean out my lower stomach and thighs?

Starting again and I'm a little discouraged
I have finally decided to get my health back on track again, but I'm afraid it's useless. 5 years ago I weighed 305lbs, and decided to do weight watchers by using the calculator and doing my weigh ins myself to save money. After 9 months I was down to 215 and felt amazing. Unfortunately due to poor habits and coping stategies for stress and depression I am once again 305. It has been a gradual climb for the past 3 years. I definitely want to get down in the low two hundreds, but I feel like after I put all that work in again I'll just screw it up and gain it all back. Any tips you guys can give me to improve my confidence in keeping it off if I lose it again would be much appreciated.
