No that was perfect thank you

First thanks everyone for the helpful advice. I will do this the right way. So my bmr is 1900. So I should eat around 1900 instead of 1500. I can try?

I am not trying to do this unhealthy. But I'm upset I haven't been able to drop. This water weight posses me off, one day I'm 192 the next back to 198. When I'm 180 I can fluxiate not now

Plateau = a state of little or no change following a period of activity or progress. In regards to water weight yes I know I didn't gain 6 pounds of fat. What I'm getting at is that for weeks now I have been eating only 1500 calories minus 500 from the gym. So 1500 x 7day week = 10500 Calories burned 500 x 5days = 2500…

In regards to the gym, I go Monday through Friday most weeks. Some weeks I may go only 4xs and other weeks I go 6xs. . I use the olyptical, treadmill, lift weights, sauna, pool, jacuzzi, those are my daily work outs.

It says I should eat 1900 a day. Like I said I usually only eat 1500 a day and lose 500 a day from the gym.some days I may eat alittle more but my body just doesn't feel hungry. I've been doing this same diet for over 3 months and have went from 245-190lbs. I'm currently 20% body fat and am looking o drop to 7-8% and drop…

Hmm ok good to know. I think I can achieve 12%

That sounds good thanks man il check it out and to everyone else again thanks for all the help. As of now I'm 193lbs with 20% body fat. What should I aim for. Is it reachable and safe if I went down to 8-10% I'm sure by that point I'd look more define.i want the big arms and six pack, I was always heavy at 260. I'm going…

All this has been so helpful. Thanks for all the information. And yes I just want to look more muscular by toning up. In regards to my routine, a good friend of mine is a personal trainer and set me up with daily-weekly workouts. I work everything from shoulders to legs

Thanks guys for the help. I do love the sauna myself, I go in every time I'm at the gym.

Thanks Alyssa for the help. So you think you'd lose a few pounds in an hour of sauna use. I wouldn't stay in more then 12 mins a round

Thanks William I appreciate it. I know it won't be done over night. I've lost 50lbs in the last 4 1/2 months and I still want to lose another 15. I was 245, currently at 195 trying to go down to 180. I have always worked out but always carried a lot of weight. I trying to tone up my body now.

I really appreciate the help. I'm going to eat more and be more conscious of my net from now on

Hey thanks for the advice but can you break it down for me more. Simplfly for me if you will. What does net mean? Mfp? And also why would I wanna eat more than I burn off. If I burn 1000 a day and eat 1600 il continue to lose weight. I have 20 more to go

Thanks everyone for your advice. From reading the reviews and more online, it's true carbs don't mean much, it's calories and thanks for the help. I'm back up to 1600 daily and now burning 1000 daily, it was tough but I lost 40 pounds and instead of stoping in just adapting to a healthier life style. Thanks for all the…

Also 1500 is yes recommended but I don't believe it is always necessary. I could be wrong and if im so I apologize. I've been doing well for a few months now on 1250. I'm sure il raise it up again but right now I'm working on losing the weight I want to lose. Thank again for reaching out.

First off please don't be rude. Second off I was already advised on how shakes for a week was a bad idea but thank you. And in regards to me burning 1500 calories a day. YES I DO. How can you say no I don't, do you work out with me? I'm on the olyptical every day Monday to Saturday two times a day at the gym, I burn 750…

It's funny, it was hard at first but I haven't had any sweets, pizza cheeseburger type fast food. I've been trying to really change, I've lost around 30 pounds so far and have around 35 to go. But if I should eat more I guess I would. But I'm honestly ok with 1250. I feel good!

Thanks for your concern but I have been eating 1250 calories a day for over 3 months, haven't binged and don't intend to until I'm at my goal weight. I appreciate all the help and will make sure I continue doing this right

Gotcha ok thanks again all. I guess I won't worry about lowering the carbs to much then and just continue to conserve myself with my calories.

I'm great with calorie counter, and eat much less than I burn. But I thought by eating 20 or less carbs a day and putting my body in ketosis mode. I thought I'd lose more fat, get more lean and lose weight faster. Like I said before I eat 1250 calories a day and every day burn 1500 calories and that's only tread mill…

And the main reason I asked was basically if cutting carbs would help speed up weight loss

Thanks everyone for such helpful posts!

That's why I though I could cut most all foods and try a protein shake week. Is that healthy having shakes only for a week

I'm good with calorie counter. I also go to the gym Monday through Saturday and burn 1500 calories a day. I have only been eating 1250 calories a day. I know it's low but it was just to kick start a healthier living. In sure I was eating 2500-4000 a day. Know a days I eat tons of low calorie fruit, sugar free calorie free…

Also is it healthy. I know carbs give you energy but what if you had zero for a week? I hope I'm not upsetting anyone with my post. I was just curious. I have a zero carb protein shake and wanted to sub all my meals for shakes. Is this ok. And again just curious, I'm not looking to do anything unhealthy or promote anything…

I know carbs are in most things, I was just curious if you really lose weight lowering your carbs. Some people have said try 0-20 a day. I was just curious thanks anyone

Is it bad if you eat no carbs for a week
