What you eat doesn’t matter when it comes to weight loss, it’s how many calories you eat, and if you’re in a deficit or surplus. That being said, it’s probably best to eat things that satiate you so you can be consistent about eating your goal calories. If you’ve gained, it’s because you ate more calories than you use.…

Frequency does not matter. Eating a reasonable deficit according to your TDEE is what matters.
-
The sugar has no bearing on weight gain/loss whatsoever. Weight gain is only caused if you’re consuming more calories than you use.

Same as someone working out about an hour and 45 min daily. You’ll def burn some calories and lose water weight. If it’s the mental edge you’re looking for, enjoy. Sustainability though, as you know, not likely. Some people love the hard core push at the beginning. Others love doing something they know they can maintain…

Is your diary open? I could use it ;)

What was the weight range given to you?
-
It’s talking about the grams listed. Just weigh the serving to match the grams it lists as a serving.

Once you start weighing your food, and comparing it to your weight loss trend, it will all start to click on what works for you. Then you can decide if it’s perfect, if you would prefer to workout more for additional calories, or that less calories would be more sustainable than upping your activity. If you don’t start…

Two words- weight trend.

You should find food that fits your lifestyle and that satiates you personally. It’s an individual thing. Giving advice like, you should eat this not that, is what makes people inconsistent. It takes a lifestyle change for results that last. Not swapping steak for apples, not even a little bit.

This is impossible. And perhaps the 35 years of myths about diets and training have something to do with your POV. The beauty about facts, they don’t change with trends. You cannot gain weight (fat) in a deficit.

You always say what I think.

Here’s real talk.. I probably needed it too. The food scale will teach you what portions REALLY are. You think you know, but believe me, the reality is shocking. You can’t increase your calories and expect to lose weight doing the same level of activity, because science. Either you up your activity by quite a bit to earn…

Wtf? And you say it with such conviction. I agree with the count the calories part. And the clean slate. But the first part had me shooketh.

To me there’s no such thing as cheat meals because no food is ever off limits. I just eat within my calorie goals, meaning at a deficit. If I’m having symptoms of true hunger I will eat at maintenance if I have to.

If only for every lb lost I made $, that could really contribute to my fashion crazed self. Love your idea btw!
-
I’m so excited that you found mfp the very first time ever trying to lose weight!!!! Seriously, most people spend their lifetime yo-yoing on crash diets, and you are saving yourself years of misinformation and frustration! It’s like you won the lottery. A couple things- people are very honest so take their advice as…

If you think that way you’re automatically making it impossible. Just work on it incrementally, every 5-10 lbs. And it doesn’t have to happen in 1 straight shot. If you want to stick to 132 for a year and get really comfortable with it, then very slowly start losing another 5-10-15 lbs, you will likely have a different…

I want to hang out with you in the mornings!

This!!!! Such an important message and for some reason soooo many people skim right passed it.
-
Nope. This all or nothing thinking is more toxic than helpful. OP- this is a lifestyle, manage the rest of the day the best you can and start fresh tomorrow. You’re not out of control, you’re human.
-
I think it’s more your lifestyle than anything. I know mine drastically changes the way I eat (for better or worse) if it’s altered.
-
And how in 8 years has the abundance of graphs posted not sink in regarding every diet boiling down to cico?! I’m truly bewildered
-
What did he diagnose you with? You must have a medical condition??
-
How does one ever get through being an adult without accepting a constructive critique of a question you yourself asked? Do you really want an answer? Do you really want to receive help? Clean eating doesn't matter when it comes to weight loss so that doesn't matter. Use a scale to log, not measuring tools for your food.…

It sounds like you might need to erase everything you think you know about what "healthy dieting" means. I'm sure someone will post a link of previous useful threads, but if not look at the stickies, they are life changing. But the quick version is: 1. The clean eating concept is a myth when it comes to weight loss. Eat…

You're losing because you are at a calorie deficit and that's it. Has nothing to do with the type of food you eat, when, or the macro ratio.
