Have the sweets or look for alternatives. If you want donuts, Asian or Mexican food, make it at home using healthier alternatives. That way you can control what goes into the food and keep track of what exactly is going into your body.

Start off slow! The same thing happened to me and it took me months to where I could run again without the pain coming back. I spent a good chunk of money on some new shoes made for running and it hasn’t happened again. My old shoes were worn out and causing impact in the wrong places resulting in knee pain.

Easy. Cheat every day, but keep it within your calorie goal. I eat what others would consider cheat foods almost every day whether it be wine, sweets, quick meals, etc., but fit it in my calorie goals. When you allow yourself to eat what you enjoy every day and don’t limit yourself being able to enjoy those things one day…

You’ll have to choose the 100g or 1g option and either put 1.25 or 125. Or you could use the 136g option by dividing 125/136 and putting your serving size in as .92. Sometimes you’ll have to use ml or oz instead for more exact inputs.

Strawberries are my favorite! I sprinkle them with stevia and can eat 300 grams in a sitting, which is less than 100 cal. For apples I dip them in PB2 mixed with water. I put berries on my oatmeal and in my cereal too.

[/quote] Thank you so much for your reply! I know I do not need to track and someone saying you won’t lose weight if you don’t track? LOL! My fitness pal police here or what.. There not even answering my question there just going on about tracking and loosing weight haha but I’m defo gonna check the group out for sure! And…

This would make sense if your weight were determined on only your body mass. There are many other factors that affect weight, such as water retention, bowel movements, etc. Can you eat in a deficit and “gain” weight? Yes, but that weight is not fat nor muscle, it’s most likely water or waste. The reason so many people gain…

Food in and of itself doesn’t make you fat, it’s how much of it you eat that does. You can have sweet foods, you can even have that 500 calorie sundae if you want, as it is entirely possible to fit it within your calorie goals. However, it won’t leave much room for other foods. Personally, I would substitute it for a less…

You weighed yourself a week ago and you were at 152 and you started at 172? That’s a 20lb loss and sounds like you’re trucking along... why do you need to lose 20 lbs in 2 months? That’s more than 2lbs a week and I would definitely not recommend that as it certainly doesn’t seem sustainable.
-
How are you measuring your intake? If your burning more calories than you eat weight loss doesn’t just stop. Tighten up your logging. As people lose weight they tend to loosen up with it and “halt.” Adjust your calories as you lose weight as well. Depending on how much you weighed when you started your TDEE could be…

No effort? Weight loss takes effort at any level, good job and enjoy your glass of wine! ;) B)

Maybe keto isn’t for you? Or losing weight isn’t for you? Losing weight requires tracking no matter how you do it... LCHF, HCLF, watching macros, paleo, etc. The end goal of every weight loss diet is a calorie defecit, while you can lose weight without tracking you will likely end up among the masses confused as to why…
-
You still have to track calories and macros on keto. Keto is just another way to create a calorie deficit and like with any other way of eating you can overeat. I had a friend trying out keto with her meals consisting of lots of oil, butter, avocado, bacon and sausage and was confused as to why she wasn’t losing because…

How are you measuring your calorie intake?

While that would typically refer to the raw weight, know that restaurants don’t weigh their portions prior to cooking them and they may vary. I have worked in the restaurant industry for 6 years and know now a lot I didn’t before. Menu calorie counts in and of themselves are guesstimations. Fillets of any meat can vary by…
-
I guesstimate when I go out to eat. Just find something similar and know one night won’t ruin progress if you’re a little off. Truth be told, after working years in the restaurant industry I’ve learned that even the nutritional info on the menu and online is often inaccurate. Nothing, food or drinks, are made the same…

Sriracha, salsa FF ranch, smoky garlic mustard, and PB2+water for all of my fruit.
-
I’m confused... are you arguing that this is untrue...?
-
If you’re doing “everything” to lose weight and it’s not working, you’re not eating as little as you think. In which case, the last thing I would recommend is eating more. Your body doesn’t hold onto fat if you’re eating in a deficit, no matter how small or large it is. The lack of progress can be directly attributed to…

I tried 1200 calories and couldn’t do it. The weight loss was also too quick for my liking too. I bumped it up to 1400 and generally eat anywhere from 1350-1500. I’m satisfied and losing as I am still eating at at least a 300 calorie a day deficit. I also made a few switches that allowed me to eat more but take in fewer…
-
As long as you’re eating under your TDEE you will lose weight. You have not “failed.” There is no added benefit to cutting out those foods or reducing your carb/sugar intake. In fact, I would say it’s putting you at a disadvantage because you obviously enjoy those foods and therefore the diet will not be sustainable long…
-
“Yes, I can, but I don’t want to.” I don’t know about you, but my diet isn’t about what I “can” and “can’t” eat, but rather what I feel is worth trying to fit in and what isn’t. If it satisfies me and keeps me under my TDEE then it’s worth it.
-
Never. If I want something, I eat it, but I make sure to fit it within my calorie goals.
-
What is “normal” to you? Too many people seem to think that once they lose the weight they want they can just go back to eating what they consider “normal.” The fact of the matter is that these normal eating habits are typically how the weight was gained in the first place. Maintaining is just as much work as losing. You…

I had the nexplanon for six years, so I’ve had two of them. The first one was completely fine, little to no side effects and my periods stopped. My second one I had non stop periods and crazy mood swings. The thing with birth control and weight gain is that the two only correlate due to changes in your appetite. Birth…
-
In short, no. Birth control does not make anyone gain or lose weight. What it can do is increase or decrease cravings and water weight (barely). I was on the pill for a year, then nexplanon for 6, and mirena for 1 and counting. None have caused drastic weight gain but that’s because I was conscious of my eating habits. My…

If I were only eating 1200 calories I wouldn’t wait until after I lose weight to work out, but that’s just me. It will be much harder to up your activity level than if you were to remain at least somewhat active throughout your diet. It’ll also help to preserve muscle mass moreso than diet alone and if you eat back half of…
-
At 1200 calories relatively anyone who is not the size of a child or elderly will lose weight. Adaptive thermogenesis will happen but the amount of change in your metabolism it causes is negligible and won’t affect weight loss as long as you keep track of your TDEE and continue to recalculate it as you lose weight and…

I honestly have no idea. Maybe they were told that the skin of fruits and veggies had the most nutrients and they thought that meant the most calories? My job was to serve the food not ask questions lol.
