Here’s a perfect metaphor: when you want to start a barbecue, you have to light a match first. When you want your body to burn fat, you have to give it a little energy, something to burn first. Fires can’t start themselves, there is always a trigger.

I think losing weight can be positive not just for yourself, but for others around you like family members.Maybe dieting is all about positive thoughts?

Hi i just wanted to ask whether or not my diet is beneficial even though i have lost 4.5 kg already in a month ,in my diet it is high protein low carb where i eat 3 snacks and 3 meals a day (every three hours) for breakfast i have a peice of bread and a peice of fruit , for lunch i will have a salad +lean meat and for dinner a source of healthy protein lean chicken,tofu ,fish ect .. and as much veggies as i want my diet does not include,pasta,potatoes,bread (except in the morning) or rice ect … however once i have lost the weight i will be able to add more carbs to my diet anyway everytime i eat i feel extremly satisfied i never feel hungry i actually feel full so is my body still going in starvation mode? on a sat or sunday is my free day where i get 2 free meals i basically eat whatever i want on this day however i cant eat as much as i usto as i get full easy now , arnt vegtables carbs ?or do i need bread,pasta ect to avoid this leptin effect please inform me ? in this diet i aslo drink 8 glasses of water a day and do a 30 min + walk

Hi Lauren,

I recently had a baby who is almost 4 months old and I breastfeed him. I’m about 155 lbs and looking to get down to about 130 lbs. What would be my ideal calorie intake without affecting my milk supply? I also work out at least 3-5 times a week.

i’ve been eating carbs from dawn till noon and them eat healthier from noon till bed. as the article says it takes your body half a day to drop in leptin levels. so as the levels are dropping over night when i don’t need energy (and this also helps me to sleep as i have suffered from night terrors) i can then pick up my leptin levels in the morning. and my body never lets me go without breakfast cause it craves the morning toast i eat about 5 meals a day. (small bowl) drink normal stuff. (coffee, tea, gree tea, water, orange juice) and snack on; fruit, alpen bars, and for some reason fried eggs. this maybe cause i’m vegetarian? or i’ve discovered how nice they are? idk..

i just kinda crave eggs now. (lol) so that’s what i do. i’ve lost a whole dress size in almost a month. (almost size 12!!) you just have to be sensible and if you can’t not go without that snack then half it, and save the rest for later.

i try to drink a lot.
excercise (10 mins) 4 times a week. (pilates and core/strenght)
eat something every 1/2 hours.
and walk everywhere. it’s very good for stamina and you get to see a lot more of the world

HOPE THIS HELPED! <3
