in Introduce Yourself
I've been dieting for almost 4 months on and off tbh the "off" was only because i had final exams and couldn't concentrate at both. But i'm back at it again for a month now and dammit my weight loss is sooo slow. I've been working out and mainly not eating any carbs so i decided to change my diet starting tomorrow with 1000-1200 calories a day (including carbs)! Cardio and resistance. Any additional advice? Comment plz or friend me

    You won't really start seeing a speed up of results until around month 3 realistically

    Do you know your TDEE yet? Have you counted your caloric intake? It takes 3,500 calories to make a pound of body weight, so it takes a 3,500 calorie deficit to lose a pound. If your deficit is, say, 100 calories per day, you lose a pound in 35 days. Calculate your TDEE, take a good look at your caloric intake, and make adjustments accordingly. But remember, you want to make long-term choices, not short-term choices. A slow consistent loss is better than a quick loss followed by a quicker gain.
