Trying to lose weight. Fast tips ?

Don't try to make it fast. Try to make it easy - at least relatively easy.

Fast loss is a trap. It's hard to stick with it long enough to lose a meaningful total amount of weight, and it doesn't teach the habits that a person will need to stay at a healthy weight long term. If you ask me, it's maintaining a healthy weight long term, ideally permanently, that's the real prize.

That's my perspective now, approaching year 8 maintaining a healthy weight, after just under a year of weight loss (class 1 obese to healthy weight), and around 30 previous years of overweight/obesity.

Best wishes for success, however you chose to proceed!

losing weight fast almost guarantees two things - first, that you'll gain it all back and second, you'll lose muscle mass. losing fast is a gateway to yo-yo dieting.

Yes, make it pleasant, slow and delicious. Don't go fast.

Fast is a steady trend of 1 lb a week.

Anything faster = very likely not getting there at all.

You can do that by reducing your TDEE by 500 calories a day. That’s A LOT of calories.

I recommend half that so it feels easier and more enjoyable.

The winner is getting there and feeling the best.

Go slow. When I lost too quickly, my hair started falling out and I lost muscle tone despite using weight machines. Wasn't fatigued, but I did miss losing some of that hair!
