what did people try for constipation food wise before reaching for pills

how much lean mass did people lose and how did they even know
resistance training is not optional if you care what you look like at the end of this. my opinion, held strongly
smaller containers
coffee on an empty stomach with slowed gastric emptying is a rough combination. i eat something first now
front load it
coffee on an empty stomach is making me feel awful, is that the drug or is that just coffee
i lost 5 and about a fifth of it was lean by dexa, and that was with lifting the whole way through
target weight 75kg
1.6 g/kg = 120 g/day
1.8 g/kg = 135 g/day
spread over 4 feeds = 30-34 g each
which with no appetite is the actual problemif you are at 700 calories a day that is the thing to fix before anything else. please eat more
fibre from food
at 90kg and 1.6 per kg you are looking at 144 grams. i have never once hit it on a bad appetite week

sarcopenia at my age, is that a real risk if im losing 35 in 10 months
how do you hit protein when literally nothing is appealing
you will feel weaker while losing. whether you actually are is a different question and only numbers answer it
is cold food easier for anyone else or is that just me
160 grams a day sounds enormous until you notice a chicken breast is 30 and a shake is 25
dexa twice a year if you can afford it. the cheap scale will tell you a new story every day and none of them are true
i weigh my protein sources for a week every few months to recalibrate, because the estimates drift badly
i lost 38 and about a fifth of it was lean by dexa, and that was with lifting the whole way through
protein first
i stopped counting calories and started counting protein, and one number is much easier than two
i was wrong about protein for a year. i thought losing my appetite meant i should eat less. it does not
greek yoghurt
genuinely, eat more. nobody here will congratulate you for 700 calories and we have all watched somebody get hurt by it
coming back to this the room is quite firm about eating enough and i think that is the best thing about this channel
anyone tracked their protein properly for a week and been shocked by the number
bioimpedance is a mood ring
i lift three times a week and my lifts dropped about ten percent while losing, then came back up
is greek yoghurt actually as good as everyone in here says
a shake is food
nobody here is your dietitian. we can tell you what we eat and what happened afterwards
dexa if you can

liquid protein was the thing that fixed this for me. a shake is food, it is not a shortcut
please dont go lower
electrolytes, is that just salt in water or do i need the sachets
meal prep that survives early satiety, what actually works
