    This is the first time I've heard of IIFYM. Googling it up now, because my weight loss is slowwwww... in spite of working out.

    Weight loss is controlled by calories, not so much the make up of those calories. If your weight loss is slow, I would ask if you are using a food scale, can you open your food diary, what is your exercise routine and what are your stats? The majority of the time, it is discovered that people are not accurate or consistent with their logging practices, leading to the conclusion people are eating more than they think.

    I totally agree about tracking / measuring what you eat carefully. Consuming too much or too little isn't good and will cause a stall. Also keep in mind, weight loss is about calories but fat loss is a little different. It all really depends on ones goals. The beauty of the world is everyone is different.

    Good luck on your fitness goals.

    Fat loss is different in the context of requiring more protein (.8-1g per lb of lean body mass) and resistance training. But even under the best of conditions, one will inherently lose a little lean body mass. It is very difficult to only lose just fat.

    Agree
