Mine was from "hey elliot" a youtube channel if you've heard of him. anyway someone asked him to give a workout regiment. His response was that we get so tangled in what is the newest and greatest and want all the little details about doing it perfectly right.
He said that the most important part is doing. It doesn't matter what, just get up and do. You gain experience and then can make adjustments as you go, but what is most important is doing something.0 -
You got yourself here and you are the only one who can get the weight off, so stop complaining and do it.0

My top six:
1. Eat a gram of protein per pound of body weight
2. Eat smaller meals throughout the day.
3. It's a lifestyle change.
4. fruit & veg
5. eat enough to sustain your workouts
6. lift weights!
7. eat "clean"0 -

Whenever you are craving something bad, just remember that nothing tastes as good as skinny feels. My mom told me this, and I think its the weight watchers slogan or something.....but I love it! If skinny tastes better than bacon or ben n jerrys then I can't wait!!!!0

Bro, do you even lift?0

Bro, do you even lift?
This is very good advice. I like math (consume less than your TDEE and you will lose weight) so my first and only diet last fall led to quick and easy weight loss.
That being said, most of my exercise was cardio and I lost more muscle mass than I needed while my BMI dropped from almost 25 to about 20. Since starting to lift regularly this January my weight has remained stable as my body fat continues to drop (under 10% at this point). I feel much stronger and healthier since starting to lift weights.
Gaining muscle is much harder than losing weight. Lift weights and keep your deficit to TDEE reasonable during your weight loss (while getting plenty of protein) and you can reduce the amount of muscle you lose as your weight drops.0 -
Eat less0

"eat a little less, exercise a little more"0

Do as you have always done.....
Get what you have always got.....0 -
Don't eat less, eat better and more regularly.
Also: find out what YOUR body needs. Don't mindlessly take advice from people who don't know your body.0 -
