I have recently immigrated to the US. I need health insurance until I find a job which provides with one.

From the Billions spent on social services, from rental vouchers, to HEAP energy assistance, to SNAP food ebt benefits, to free internet service thru ACP, to free govt provided cells, to healthcare.gov, to earned income credits for working .

No wonder you're so damn weak. You're on a crash diet. You should be eating no less than 300 calories below maintenance for sustainable weight loss, and your diet is roughly 1200 calories below maintenance. Check out iifym.com and rethink those macros. Source: over 1 year ago

Iifym.com was where I got started first with Anthony's purchasable macro breakdown, then Mike Vacanti's got a website too (Mike's Macros maybe?), and then Mike Matthews website is LegionAthletics.com which has gotten a bit too supplement-y for my taste but I really like his books and I'm actually starting his 5-Day workout split for women this week.

Sure! All I did was add some crippling depression to a toxic (previous) relationship with a side of overcoming addiction. As far as food goes, use this. Source: almost 2 years ago
