4 months ago I started practising omad and lost 17 pounds so far. I think fasting gives me mental clarity and I definitely have more energy when I fast. But I do count calories and weigh my food. You need to be in caloric deficit to lose weight, fasting is only a tool to help you with that.

I'm not sure why posts suggesting intermittent fasting are being wooed. It's nothing more than timing your meals and for me it was a game changer. I've been losing weight consistently and effortlessly for the past two months. You can give it a go and see if it suits you. Most popular way is eating for 8 h and fasting for…

Thai green curry with veggies and chicken served with white rice.

I eat one meal a day, spreaded over 2-3 because it's a large amount of food. I've been doing it for the past month and it's working like a charm. I eat food I truly enjoy and my cravings went away. I still weight my food and count calories, but daily ~21 h fast was a game changer for me.

I'm doing it and I love it! I did intermittent fasting through Christmas, New Years and week long vacation after and I haven't gained a single pound, eating whatever I wanted. Now I'm back to healthier food. I eat only dinner with few snacks, fasting usually for 22 hours. I tend to eat 1200-1300 kcal daily and on Sundays I…

I had terrible weekend as well, I think I blew off my deficit from entire week. Today I'll eat a bit less than usual, because I'm still bloated and not hungry. I decided to use extra energy to go to gym and do my weightlifting and really push myself. Had a great workout and I'm ready to kick this week in the face!!

Just eat the burger and work it into your calories... Often I'll have fast food lunch with water or diet drink and it fits in my calories. I'm short and relatively light female and it never stalled my weightloss. I like to get double cheeseburger or quarter pounder, Big Mac has way too many calories IMO. Also, going to…

Are you really a multimillionaire tho

So much woo in one place.

Maybe you should change your dietitian.

I've misread it as "great job, Satan". Lolz

Preplanned chocolate doughnut as my midnight snack and I didn't eat it!! I've put it nicely on a plate, brought it to bed and packed it back after few minutes! I just didn't feel like eating anymore.

Best oatmeal ever: cook 40g steel cut oats with 250 ml of milk until it's nice and thick (less than 5 min). Stir in tablespoon of peanut butter. Serve topped with sliced banana and dizzle of honey. SO GOOD. Perfect breakfast for fall and winter.

Im on third month of transformer bet. It's great for accountability. I'm super motivated, excersising and counting calories. But I lost most of my weight already and now I'm losing vanity pounds. It's much harder than I expected, as my weightloss slowed down significantly. 10% of my bodyweight is only 6 kg and it's going…

I don't care much for sweets, but PIZZA is my life. No stopping at one slice, oh no. And wine. Buy me pizza and wine and I'm all yours lol

What nobody tells you is how annoying is vanity sizing! I don't like shopping and it's so much trouble to find something that fits properly! Gap is the worst. I don't understand how xs clothes are falling off me, when I'm not even that slim. I think bigger sizes are more consistent and smaller ones are all over the place.…

My NSV is that I got back on track. This month I had all deadlines for assignments at uni, so I couldn't be bothered with tracking my food. Then Easter came and I visited my family in another country. I got back and after relaxing for one day (visiting my family is extremely stressful for me) I started tracking again! I…

Some days you'll feel fit, slim and awesome and on others like you didn't make any progress at all.

LOVE the charts!

I'm a tea addict! I drink around 3 cups per day, sometimes more. The most I like: Lemon balm before sleep, it helps me fall asleep Mint Camomile Green tea with flavours (currently salted caramel) Different mixes like smooth digestion twinings or night time pukka Black tea, love Assam Cistus, helps a lot with water…

There is overhead press (military press) in upper body day. I don't have machine for leg press unfortunately, I'm doing squats instead of that. Is it ok?

Thank you for your input! So there is no huge difference between bodyweight and machine routines? I mean in efficiency of preserving muscle ?

Up, up! Anyone? ;)

Marinade! I did some simple marinade yesterday for my fish it was bit of oil, honey, soy sauce and lemon juice. It came out as 100 kcal per portion. It wasn't even tasty :(

When someone asks I say I eat less and move more. Eyes glazing over in respond is a standard. I especially hate when they persist with asking me questions and I always reply honestly, but they become condescending: "oh you lost weight because you turned vegetarian ". NOPE. "You lost weight because you started exercising".…

I'm doing beginner bodyweight workout from nerd fitness.com, it takes me about 25 min. After I do extra 10 min with dumbells for arms, 10 min for core and 10 min for bum with fitness blender. Total workout around 60 min, I try to do it 3 times a week

I don't really eat salads, maybe sometimes as a main meal loaded with stuff like nuts avocado and faux meat or tofu. I much prefer cooked veggies, especially sautéed. Broccoli rulez lol

I just had so delicious dinner! Pan fried salmon, with potatoes first cooked with white wine, then roasted with onion, lots of olive oil and more wine! Vietnamese style green beans on the side. Sounds like strange mix of tastes but it was AWESOME. That's the only way! I'm having cadbury egg as a midnight snack ;)

It's true, you'll lose weight as long as you're in caloric deficit. But you might be hungry if all you eat all day is Maltesers!

You can eat whatever you want during losing weight. Ignore anyone who tells you otherwise!
