Calorie deficit = 100%
Nothing more, nothing less.12 -

Guess I better take a nap...I was going to hit the gym this afternoon for a heavy session...but sounds like a nap is the way to go since I only slept once last night.6

Ha.
That comes out to about 20 hours of sleep. It's funny because I often think about how my dogs spend around 20 hours a day in some form of rest and are in great shape.4 -
With 3 kids and a dog, sleep sadly isnt what it should be! Correct though, too little sleep can release cortisol which in turn can inhibit fat loss. But aye, calorie deficit.2

So calories don't come in at all? Just napping and the gym??3

Sleep 80% of the time? Well I'm in trouble.3

I think the real lesson here is that the key to weight loss isn't CICO, it's STET - Sleeping Time>Eating Time
More time sleeping means less time for eating

But there's only 2 things you listed and one is gym time.0 -
Oh noes... guess I did it wrong since mine was more like 10% sleep

I see what you guys are saying well let me put it like this illuminate diet and sleep focus from trying to achieve your goals and let's say put 80% of your time and effort into gym time and only 10% into sleep and 10% into diet and see what happenes.... Am I right or am I right? Percentages a.k.a time sorry I explained it a little different

No, you're NOT right.

But diet isn't even in your list. You have sleep and gym only. 80% sleep, 20% gym.1 -

Did you mean to have "Eating" as the first 40%?2 -

Nope, it works itself out, right? I mean, if you're sleeping 80% of the time and at the gym the other 20%, there's no time to eat, no? 4 -
Your original post lists sleep twice and diet none.biglouie7504 wrote: »lol I'm just trying to say focus on those 2 things more than gym time I just put it in percentages to show what you should focus on more I'm a personal trainer so just trying to put some helpful info out there for ya:)
Even if one of those sleeps was meant to say diet I still don't understand the percentages. Is it meant to be amount of time in the day? Percent of our effort we focus on those things?

I don't think so either. Then we could focus on the percentages, rather than sleeping all the time. :laugh:4 -
OP, we get you, but you made a typo!!!!
We all know sleep is important. You just mentioned it twice.1 -

I don't agree with your percentage values, mainly because with regular exercise, my sleeping improves all by itself. I do think that rest, relaxation, and keeping a healthy mental space is valuable. So I would expand sleep to include overall well being which includes behaviours not included in the other two.1 -
So I should sleep 9 and a half hours, spend 9 and a half hours eating and the remaining 5 hours working out?
I'm sure there's a great thought in there somewhere, OP, but I'm not quite getting it.1
