Because our body ruins on carbs . Natural bread wont make you fat (whole grain, low sodium,vegan) . It is the butter and eggs in it that makes you fat actually. So don't blame the carbs.

Big breakkie all day err day. Oats with banana and chia seeds, half baked sweet potatoes, cafe latte and a piece of crackers.

Yes of course, the point here is i dont really care about my calorie intake. I just eat until i am full and satisfied and be able to function properly and do my workouts. But all of my homemade foods are low salt, low fat, low sugar. Unlike the food that i had this whole day.

Yes slowly. In fact i don't really like to weigh myself. Maybe once every 2 weeks when I feel like doing it.

Yea and smash all of the water in. I basically eat homemade food all the time and nevertheless i do feel quite awful after eating high fat high sugar high sodium food all day long

I am 159cm. I dont feel deprived at all because i eat until i am fully satisfied and never skip meals. i basically eat homecooked food all the time. I wasn't binging on my food actually, i just felt that i ate too much "bad food" today.

@PinkPixiexox i recently increase my food intake as long as its homemade and wholefood i never really count it.

Yes i dont, especially when i have a wholefood or home cooked food, i never really take the calories down and just eat until i am satisfied. But high sodium food makes me bloated like hell. And all of the oil, sugar and salt were just pffffftttt

I dont really deprive myself that bad, i will have abit of chocolate once in few days etc but today was kinda too much food for me

So basically you will eat whatever thing you love to have just never go overboard ? Mine is the same 1200cal , and today i ate about 2000. I dont usually count too much if i ate whole foods and homecooked food. But today was a disaster

It was useless on me !! I did not lose even a pound after taking it for 2 weeks before my exercise. Stop taking it and just eat clean and exercise more

Some are hard to measure but most of them are stick to the true measurements. I mean like how do you measure your veggie stir fry?

I used TDEE calculator on iifym.com

It is okay to skip a day of exercise if you are not feeling well. It is better to skip a day rather than the need to skip a week, because your condition get worsen if you force yourself too much.

Have the same issue. Need to start lifting but dunno where to start. Pls do recommend some free programs as a starting point :)

Hi, definitely has planning to do so. Just need to get a few dumbells :)

Yes if you want to lose weight all you need to do is to eat a calorie deficit (based on my past experience) but you will not be toned up.

@RGv2 so i need to increase my calorie intake to 1,400cal each day?

@queenliz99 Hi yes of course, It was very kind of you to calculate for me. What i mean was, i did not eat both the rice and the sweet potatoes just one of them. So its either like 1 medium sweet potatoes with a cup of veggie or half cup of rice with a cup of veggie for lunch. Its not likely to hit 1,800 as veggie is pretty…

Gahh so on point! I will eat my nut butter everyday again! I miss them!

@3bambi3 Yes i did read it. My TDEE - 20% is about 1,240cal / day. Which is my current calories goal. So basically i need to increase 200cal more each day? Pretty easy if i just shove 2tbsp of peanut butter everyday.

@queenliz99 1800 or more. I only calculated the most generic of entries and I think i was being generous in my numbers.[/quote] Hmm nope. To be exact my breakfast is about 350cal, lunch about 300cal, dinner about 300-350cal. Maybe will reach 1,100 if i had snack at that day. I do not eat all of the food mentioned above, i…

Carbs arent bad if they are the "right" carbs. It is needed to fuel your body and your body basically run on carbs. Good carbs are rice, potatoes, oats, millets, sweet potatoes. It is less processed and keeps you full. Bad carbs are loaded with oils, animal fats and sugar like white bread, fries, etc. It is not the carbs…

For real? I use weight to determine my food. Sometimes its not easy if you cook stir fry where u mixed up everything, so i just calculate them individually. (Eg : one tomatoes, 80g tofu, half cucumber) etc. For sweet potatoes,oats and banana are definitely correct cause i weighed all of them.

Not trying to be mean but the calorie deficit thingy just isn't for me. Based on my past experience (which i was basically starving myself to lose weight) my weight was so much lesser than currently and i was still flabby as hell even though you could see bones on my ribs and collar etc. I highly believe in my case its the…

Just to be clear again, i am really not starving myself, in fact i am quite stuffed most of the time. I have a small frame (all of my bones are small) but i am the skinny fat type. It is so hard to be toned except my legs. I don't have a jiggly thighs. But the rest of the body are just pfffttttt! Like abs and arms! Duh

I am not suffering of any kind of injury, i just tend to sit alot because i have nothing much to do besides staring at my computer all day. I really want to try to incoporate weight lifting to my exercise to gain muscle, and by that time i will increase my calories intake.

Just to be clear , and focus on my prob rather than arguing My last weight-in was 2 months ago at 49kg , now i am about 47.5kg - 48kg . This is morning before breakkie. I am 159cm and have a small body frame Here's what my diary in most days... Morning : half cup oats + banana + chia seed + coffee with 1tsp of sugar Pre…
