| I can also attest to this as a male. I hate the way that I look... at a 22 BMI, which is healthy. So where's the problem? In my head. Can I blame the media? No, I can only blame myself for subscribing to what they feed me. In either case, it's absurd that I would not be happy at a 22 BMI considering that I used to be closer to an unhealthy 30 than the low 20's. I'd like to get back into the upper 20's, but not with fat this time. and, yes, as a male some of us also compound the body building aspect into it. I've personally been spinning my wheels for about two years in the gym now... I'm still going to the gym because it's one of the only things that I genuinely enjoy. I can't even bring myself to log in here anymore because of all the extra pressure that's added by things like calorie counting. I just saw this thread and couldn't resist. Sorry to complain. This article just happens to speak to my exact mood over the last few weeks. Perfection - hrmp. =/ |

| Okay - this is absurd, but I'm kind of intrigued. What about sweat would you talk about? I mean... what did he say about sweat when he was giving you this lecture? That whole situation is just surreal. |

| I used to use their salad dressing religiously. We only carry it in select stores in Florida... at least that I can find. We don't have Kroger. Anyways, the dressing is a bit watery, but considering it is 0 calories, I can deal with watered down dressing. The only reason that I stopped using it was to gain weight. Otherwise, I'd probably still be using it. Good stuff. |

| how much have you lost? I lost a total of 45 lbs is this the 1st time or a repeat performance? 1st timer for me are you finished? Yes, definitely, I can't afford to lose more how long did it take? Only about 8 months, give or take how long have you kept it off? I've kept most of the fat off for a couple of years now. I've jumped back up to almost 160 lbs over the last couple years, but that's my goal; cut down and then build up. what approach did you use? Calorie restriction and viggorous exercise for reduction, eating everything healthy that I can fit in my gut and viggorous weight lifting for gain |

| "The Easy Way to Quit Smoking" by Allen Carr This is also what made quitting smoking close to effortless for me. The first few weeks were easy. It was after the affect of the book wearing off where I began to have problems. Still, I just made myself move past it and even that was easy because I was no longer physically addicted. Great read. Wonderful insight. |

Hard on what? The treadmill is easier on your joints than payvement. The treadmill does some of the work for you as it propells your legs backwards, instead of you pushing yourself forwards decreasing some of the work load. Outdoors is wonderful. I just do it on the grass or in the sand. I'm lucky enough to have a really, really long trail by my house that has grass beside the payvement that I can run on. |

| Foods | what foods should i eat when I'm in "starvation mode"? | Apr 11 2007 00:46 (UTC) |

| I can't really give you a definitive answer as I'm afraid that no matter what I say there's probably something that you could eat that might be better. Personally, I wouldn't sweat missing one meal and I would just eat what I would normally eat for the next one... maybe add a couple hundred extra calories to the next meal for the one that you've missed. I know this isn't the answer that you're looking for, but I don't know that any type of food is the answer so much as just making sure that you don't go too low on calories for the day. If you're too low on the calories, eat anything you want. Just stay in range. But even if you do go under on the calories for one day, it's not going to hurt you. Starvation mode takes a month to multiple months to slide into as I understand it. Sorry I can't be of more help. Obviously nutricious, whole, non-processed foods would be best. |

| Ohhhh. I see now... it should take a lot longer than one meal to put you into starvation mode. I didn't mean to imply that you were starving yourself as in not eating... just not eating enough. | |||

| Try to keep healthy food choices, but the bottom line is simply that you need to eat more (as I undestand - I'm by no means the definitive source on this issue). What you choose is up to your pallet. How long have you had the feeling that you've been in starvation mode? |
