HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) Is a good way to burn calories and fat? Do you know your body type?

I agree with Kam26001. Get your hormones checked. Like he stated that could be with your thyroid, cortisol, insulin, leptin and etc. Get those checked and then once you do that you want to create a proper plan to make sure you are getting enough food or energy in your body. Along with making sure you are getting a well…

Tara to be honest 1600 is not the high. Think about it many times people can eat that in one meal (ex: Mcdonalds big mac meal, chipolte bowl, or etc. The reason why it may seem high is because you are actually looking and tracking what you doing. The good thing about the body once you set up a plan concerning your prepping…

Hey Serindipte Keep up the good work. Because you are logging in and so on...here are a couple of pointers you could do 1. Go back and look at your food intake in your log. Try to make sure you are eating as healthy as possible and meeting your goals. Sometimes although we are logging in we don't realize we are eating…

I know it is hard but use this opportunity to grow with your food. Understand what creating a calorie deficit is. Understanding how food can be your medicine and is a powerful tool to help with healing and with your goals. Understand what to eat and how eat in way that works for your body type and shape. Understand that…

That is great keep up your motivation. Remember to get ride of your stomach that starts with your diet first. Your abs are made in the kitchen. You want put a plan together that works for you that consist of food, working out, and rest. You got this one day at a time

Yes you will lose. MFP creates a base. Does not mean you have to go by it especially if you have knowledge of what you are doing. Like Becoming said You have to create a deficit to loose weight (Cut calories). Your macros are what tells you what you putting in and out of your body. They help you dial into your needs…

Do you know what your body fat is currently

I use per lb of lean body mass. In my opinion I would say somewhere between 1-1.4 grams of protein per lean body mass. That is for maintenance to make sure as you cut you still maintain your muscle as you lose fat. You probably need do experiment to see what works for you and your body type. Track and log your progression…

Love seeing what everyone is doing. That is what it is about empowering, encouraging, and helping. When you are trying to make changes, your mindset is a major part of accomplishing your goals. When your mindset is right then everything else will follow, which includes your body and all. To be honest, although you may be…

I love seeing this. This is great that you all are supporting each other. When you are trying to make changes, your mindset is a major part of accomplishing your goals. When your mindset is right then everything else will follow, which includes your body and all. To be honest, although you may be focused with the right…

Your right I did see that I "put must". That is what caused problems. Very good point about there is no one diet that fits all. There has be a consideration of metabolism, age, height, weight, lifestyle, etc that goes into coming up with a plan that works for you. Heck I seen a guy lose weight eating Mcdonalds as an…

Thanks for your reply to my message. I appreciate it. I agree totally that if you do things in moderation you can still make changes and lose weight. You are right that cutting out foods can cause Orthorexia. On the other hand many people will use the reason of moderation to keep doing what they are doing. Which in turn…

Hey Alice thanks for the reply. You are absolutely right. That is why I said not everyone is trying to be a bodybuilder or even just trying to make major changes to their body where they are cut up, ripped up, or etc. Therefore, a person should just do what works for them and what makes them happy. Like you said make…

My name is Leo. I just wanted to stop by and say this is great that you all are trying to make a change in your life. Take it one day at a time. Always focus on the big picture ahead. Doing this will allow you to put in the effort that you need day by day. Understand you will not always be motivated to do so. But with…

I recommend that you first get your mindset right. Once you get that right everything will follow, body and all. If you are really truly serious about making a change to your health and body then your nutrition is something you should research about, get help from a trainer or nutritionist or etc. (Make sure you research…

There are many things to take into consideration. Some people do the elliptical because it is less pounding for them on knees and etc. Some use it to switch it up from walking. Some like to walk outside because they enjoy that nature of being outside instead of being inside. It depends all on your goals, desires, and…
