Lol so many different opinions! I guess I'm going to have to play around

i guess I, going to have to try different things. I'm used to eating the same amount of calories every single day but maybe I should try the other way just to see if it does make me feel stronger? I definitely know that working out doesn't make me hungrier usually unless it's heavy cardio which I won't be doing

Okay great! Thanks I'm going to try that out. I'm used to eating the same amount of calories no matter if I'm training or not but I've never tried any other way. I always would just up my overall calories and work out 5 days a week. I'll experiment. Thanks!

Is there actually a reason to do this other than because you may be more hungry? In the end, wood it be the same to just eat at maintenance every day whether I train or not or is there a reason that it makes sense for muscle building to structure it in this way?

Do I eat back excercise calories? Half? What do you guys think? Or just eat at maintenance.

I had periods where i wouldn't lose for two weeks or something or I'd be losing really slow but it's been pretty good other than that

Thank you guys so much! Really appreciate it all xoxo

Cutting all refined sugars also helped me lose over 20 pounds. My diary is open!!

I'm 5"8, 133ish, and size 4 usually. I don't see what's wrong with that. I mean there was times where I was thin from unhealthy means, but right now I'm lean from a healthy diet. That's a good thing. :) you're goal weight if perfectly fine.

I'm starting to feel better so hopefully my body is fighting it off on its own pretty quickly. I rarely get sick for more then two days :)

Thanks this is all super helpful! I did have some ginger kombucha because fizzy ginger drinks are usually soothing for my tummy. I will include these foods (except the chicken of course,) and hope it helps with the duration or severity! Appreciated Thankfully I do eat a really nutrient dense diet so I tend to recover…

Elderberry syrup? Never heard of that. I'll look it up! sounds cool. Thanks

I've actualy read that it's better for digestion. I only eat twice a day and I've lost a lot of weight this way

Zucchinis, mushrooms, kale, sweet potatoes, lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, parsley, and some kind of soup. I eat the same things everyday lol

Omg yeah I don't keep avocados in my house!! Sooo tasty I can just eat three in a row

Cheese was my most addictive food before going vegan. I loved cheese crackers and mac and cheese lol. Mayo too! It's literally addictive

They really pile in the sugar omg

I have to only buy the frozen ones cause the good fresh ones I could honestly eat 3000 cals a day of just mangos. And I can neither afford that monetarily or calorically

I eat about 1300 a day. My diary is open if you want to look and if you want any recipes from it!

Omg yeah nuts! They make me break out otherwise I'd struggle with the. S hard and I eat tons of veggies and cherry tomatoes everyday lol. Check my diary! It's always tons of veggies and cherry tomatoes lol

And yeah I've lost over 25 pounds on a healthy vegan diet but you got to make sure it's a healthy whole food diet and not a junk food vegan diet :) cause you can definitely still gain weight as a vegan if you're eating alll processed food. My diary is open btw

I'm a whole foods plant based vegan and you can add me for any help. Congratulations! Check out forks over knives documentary and their website for recipes as well as dr mcdougall, mr Gregor, dr Neal Barnard, chef Aj, high carb Hannah, and mr and mrs vegan. Another good documentary is what the health. You can also get…

OMG yeah PB2 is huge for me too. I also like it better than peanut butter. I make it kind of funny and use the it as a sauce. It's so good on roasted sweet potato!

I get like that with this chocolate chai tea. It says zero calories but I'm skeptical that it must have some and I can easily drink 10 bags a day lol

Yeah, berrries are great! Filling and low cal. I try to eat them with my other sweeter fruit. When I do have cake though, which is rare because I have bad will power so I avoid it, I just eat a *kitten* ton of cake lol! And I make it myself so I know exactly how bad it is for me lol. Which is pretty bad... oh well...…

This may sound dumb, but what's nespresso coffee? Is it just a brand?

Yeah pickles and salt!!!! OMG!! I have to cut salt soooo low in my diet to stay on my calorie goal without bingeing lol

I actually had a blood test done 5 weeks ago (very comprehensive,) and its totally perfect so I think this is mostly just that I looooove these foods lol

I don't get too hung up on semantics.

Well everyone here is going to tell you calories because you're on a calorie counting site haha. But the reality is that whichever method makes it easier to burn more than you consume is going to be best. So esssentially, caloric defecit is always what causes weight loss but what method people find most effective to…
