  • track calories. its really easy to eat too much. cut down on sugar. thats the most important one i think. Don't eat too much bread or pasta either.
  • the problem is starving slows your metabolism. after a while, 1200 might be no more than you need. you need to establish how much you burn each day (basal metabolic rate) and adjust accordingly. also, give up drinking. I had like 5 beers this saturday and that's 1100 calories, so if you did that you'd just about double…
  • haha yeah i'd like the same. but i still have some to get rid off before i'm close to that range. what method do you use to measure your body fat %?
  • haha mostly going to do that from home. at the nearest gym the weights are usually taken. but my power rack will arrive tomorrow so then I'll start.
  • I love slayer too. I'll soon start lifting again. its about time.
  • its a fine goal but you'll have to understand it's not likely to be cost-free. i'm also on 1200cal. i have side effects like a drop in my mood among other things. i think its worth it but others may not agree.
  • Welcome. calorie counting may help you lose some weight but you won't like the hunger that comes with the weight loss. you obviously have more other things to worry about than just pounds. a lifestyle which causes you to gain weight all the time is not good. this is where you need to change. consider alternative…
  • No. If you'd follow me you could check my progress for myself. weight loss on a scale does not translate one-to-one to a calorie defecit. so you cannot 'prove' my scale wrong with a calorie to weight ratio. check your science. if you start dieting, you might lose a lot fast because it's water. right now i'm losing a lot…
  • you stop working. soon after you become homeless. wish all pretty girls wanted me
  • eat little (fruit plus some dinner) and do lots of exercise (cycling, 44km on most work days). also, have your heart broken. the figure is just what the scale said so to translate that into a calorie figure is not accurate. besides 9000/kilo is on the high side. i've heard things like 7700.
  • the non sustainability is inherent because i'm trying to lose weight (losing weight is an adaptation to starvation). I love avocado's. a favourite treat. I'm not calling them unhealthy. but they make you gain weight.
  • if you want to fail, this is a great idea. my breakfast was a banana today. my lunch will likely be more fruit. my dinner will be normal. I lost more than 6 kg in a week or so. substitute meals with fruit, don't go for anti carb craze. its just an excuse for people who want to eat fat, fiber-free things. rememember atkins…
