  • :bigsmile: What did you do to loose weight? What does zig-zag style mean? I have been on low carb diet and my weight loss is starting to slow down. I need some suggestions.

    Thanks!

    Thank you to everyone! I really appreciate it :) I have had alot of questions about zig-zag counting so I am going to post what I have been sending to everyone and I hope it helps!!!
    I do zig zag calorie counting and I kinda of did it in a way that most people on here wouldn't agree with but it worked very well with my body. I would eat a total of 9500 calories in a week no matter how much exercise I was going to do in a given day. I also zig zagged carbs, so I'll give you an example monday: 1000 calories, 60 carbs, and I always did 20 grams of fat. Tuesday: 1500 calories 20 carbs 20 grams of fat Wednesday: 1200 calories 40 carbs. And so on and so forth so yes I DID go under 1200 calories... and i lived to tell the tale lol I at first just stuck to 1200 calories a day with 40 carbs, but I found it very hard to stick to I was binging every week or so and I just didn't think it was healthy. I know people do their "cheat meal" but I felt so dirty doing it and I didn't feel like it was good for my body, so I developed my way of zig zagging and I have never looked back it has worked wonderful for me! as fpr the exercise I always mix it up, at first when I was extremely overweight I did much less than I can do now. I usually do two workouts one in a morning from 1 1/2 to 2 hours that includes weight training and cardio I always do weight training in the am.... idk why? lol then in the evening I do an hour of cardio usually a class like zumba or turbofire I also did turbofire at home, and 30 day shred I rotated the two . hope this helps :)

  • You look awesome, thanks for sharing
  • I love the zig zag concept - and I am going to work it in to my plan. I read something similar not too long ago - and I think it might be something to snap me back into the thick of things. Thanks so much for posting!

    Congratulations on the fabulous new you! And happy 1 year MFPiversary :happy:
