it's not a dating site? oh man am i in the wrong place.... :wink:

My current morning love. A huge cup of coffee.

yeah i would have fun with her... :wink:

controlling what you eat and how much of it, is the key.... so weigh everything and figure out what works for you.

welcome to the board... :D

hey there fellow veteran. stop focusing on your sodium, unless you have health issues with it. focus instead only on calories in vs calories out. With a focus on ensuring there is enough protein in it of course. The rest you can leave for when you have time and place to focus on it and do something about it.

i would always want other vets on my feed. So feel free to add a danish veteran to your list.

welcome... How are you liking IF?

that is almost 1kg a week.... are you prepared to put in that much hard work for 6 months straight? It is going to be long and grueling... we are here to help you if you want to... :smiley:

that is awesome... :smile: remember staying fit is a lifelong goal, but we will be here to support you every step...

yeah using measuring cups, you overeat by several hundred calories a day.. start weighing everything. if you can't weigh it all, then just eat less of those cups. and if that doesn't help, eat even less of them.

most of my daily meals are above 500 calories, so 2 great slices of pizza sounds really delicious. And more than good enough.

yeah i know, but it shows that it is possible to change metabolism, which is what i use from it. And it to me only helps validating what everything else shows. But it is a very bad research article... :smile:

yep. Some people do indeed have a worse metabolism. Just look at the research on some of those from "the biggest loser" coming out. They have to eat up to 800 calories lower than their "normal" caloric need. that is why i advice people to start at the "recommended" caloric need for a deficit, and adjust from there, as no…

of course you can... the amount you eat defines how fast you lose weight. so if your total with workouts are 3000 calories a day, you could eat 2500 calories and still be 500 negative. but if you only ate 1500 and burned 3000 you would lose weight faster. so it's up to you, what can you tolerate and how fast do you want it?

i'm a male, and i'm 5'11", 38 and 240lbs i think... sedentary and wanting to lose weight, i have to eat at 1500 or below. so no, you are not too low. Try it and see if it works. i have known more people that had to get down to 1000 calories to lose weight...

some people are pre-disposed for strong legs... maybe that is you... i also get huge thighs from doing almost nothing... where my upper body i have to work like a maniac to see any gains. you could accept that what makes you you, is among others your big legs. Learn to like them instead of focusing on being something…

depends on the deficit you are trying to achieve. If you wanna hit 1500 calories a day, i suggest getting a fist worth of carbohydrates, and a palm full of protein, and then a thumb worth of something semi fatty... 3 times a day. that's the easy way to look at it in my eyes... works for me at least...

have no food scale? and can't get one in the near future? make your regular food, and eat less of it. If that still doesn't work, eat even less of it. If that still doesn't work, then you still are eating too much. eat less food. you can't really trust the basic numbers anyways as they differ from person to person. Just as…

yeah they did a research a little while ago, where they had people eat at different times, 3 times a day, 6 times a day, and big meals.... and they found, there were no difference between either solution...

tell them : Because unlike you, i refuse to help this country descend into a fat epidemic. If you can't respect me saying no, then i have no respect for you at all. seriously, stop being a douche and offering me unhealthy food. If you want to be a good person, start bringing in healthy alternatives instead.

nothing wrong at all.. it's just that stupid people try to force you to think you should not do what you want...

my diet mostly excludes fruits and veggies... it's easy enough when you just focus on protein, carbs and fats...

feel free to send me questions, i know quite alot about the subject.

well this time you can do it... and we are all here to help you... :smile:
