What in the Wild Wild World of Sports.... Listen, just because the stove burner is bright, doesn't mean we touch it..... 😉

Good day my man. First of all I want to also congratulate you on your decision to start losing some excess weight. At 450 lbs, you can lose a bit more aggressively. I do suggest making sure your protein intake is sufficient. 1gram per pound of target body weight should be enough. Though having a slightly slower attack…

Morning op, Yes, your metabolism does slow in a calorie deficit. It is normal. I mean, most research shows it does. Unfortunately it is probably a hold over from our ancestors trying to survive in a rough world. I would suggest the research by Rosenbaum on adaptive theromgenesis in post weight reduced people. Another good…

<==== Doing his best Obi Wan voice Hello there. I would like to offer a few things. 1. Are you taking insulin or other medications that have the effect of lowering glucose? If you are having low bs, it might be time to speak to Ms about dosages. Weight loss, or a diet change can effect your glucose levels. 2. Do you use a…

All of what @AnnPT77 said. Just a few thoughts of my own: 1. Engage a meal prep service if you have the capital. From what I am seeing, they will even deliver to hotels. 2. If you have a few spare minutes, a weight band set is not a half bad item for some resistance training. All you need is an anchor point. They also take…

@AnnPT77 good to be back Auntie😁 Today's Dumbbell bench press 4 x 8-12 Cable fly (high to low) 3 x 12-15 Smith machine squats 4 x 8-12 Leg extension 3 x 12- 15 Machine shoulder press 3 x 12-15 Cable curls ( super set with tricep overhead extension) 3 x 12- 15 1100 steps and 1 hour desk cycle while studying for test.

I would suggest eating enough complete proteins. Meat, dairy, eggs, ect. If you like the taste of bcaa drinks. Go ahead. It won't hurt anything, besides your wallet. Best wishes.

Ma'am, I kindly disagree with about eggs not being a good source of protein. Yes, they have some fat, but if op like eggs, maybe substitute on a 1:1 basis. Keeps some of the vitamins and yolky goodness. Casein is not the worst, but not the most important. Hitting target protein throughout the day if king IMHO. If Op is…

Subjective.... She could be a slight build female who is inactive. A moderate calorie deficit could be 1200 cals. Besides humans are horrid at counting calories. People usually underestimate. What you said Auntie..... And yes increased fiber. Helps pull that cholesterol out... Wink wink....

Yes, my thoughts. Unless weighing and measuring everything, I mean everything. Watching your calories is extremely subjective. Maybe a thought. There is much talk about your relationship with food. I mean I like to eat mine, but I guess I could take it to a movie first 😉. If you don't have an education on nutrition, I…

Full body rdl 4x12, leg curls 4x12, medium grip lat pulls 4x10-12, seated row 4x 10-12, high pulls 2x 15-20, cable curls and tricep push down 2x15-20 super set. Walked 12000 steps and desk cycle 1hr at 12.5mph pace.

@AnnPT77 Yes ma'am, a correction, the HAES movement did exist. They were just not quite as out there. The rise in social media, i think, was one of the reasons they are better known now. I definitely got more negative reaction (from my social circle) to my weight loss than I ever got to being fat/obese . . . at first,…

While I agree that it is great to be accepting of others and ones self. That said, if the HAES and Fat Acceptance community had existed when I first started losing weight, I might not have made the lifestyle switches that I did. I might have just decided, this is the way I am. I most likely would have ended up in a wheel…

Learn to trust the process and give it time. Often, tissue loss can be hidden by changes in retain body fluid and waste products. Good news, as far as I know, the law of thermodynamics still exist! Many of us didn't gain loads of weight overnight, so it won't come off overnight. Another piece of good news is, time dieting…

I second this. I would also suggest you "diet" on the maximal amount of calories you can to start. This way you can reduce them as you lose weight or adjust if you don't. Trust the process, be honest, and learn about proper lifestyle change. Best wishes.

Are you weighing and tracking your food accurately? Have you increased your fiber, salt, or fluid intake. Are your "hormones" at that "time"? Remember, weighloss is not linear. It can be up and down. I suggest getting a weight trending app and using it. Also, remember to weigh in at the same time, same scale, in the same…

yes sir, minus the time I was losing weight. I didn't really keep great records.

Enough said......

Not always the case, resistance training, and higher protein intakes, will help mitigate this in many people. Older folks might do better having a higher protein intake. Upwards of 1.6g/kg.

Yes Alec, a higher protein intake most likely does help attenuate lean mass loss, but lean mass loss does not explain the greater than predicted rmr drop after weight loss. Remember that the biggest loser contestants lost an average of 80% bf and only 20% lean mass. Very respectable numbers, but their RMR's still suffered…

Sounds like you have pretty much everything in order. Only three things I would add. 1. The difference in the prevention of disease from a 25 bmi to a 27, is not that great. We know that "most" of the health improvements come from the first 10% or so. That said, I see nothing wrong with being on the higher normal BMI. BMI…

Well, the physical part is one we know a bit about. There are certain qualities of food that make them more satiating than others. Now those properties might be "individual", but most seem to be applicable. The second is tricky as hell, because I think some the psychological plays hand in hand with the physical. I am a…

Well Alec, nothing wrong with having hamsters, in fact, I have damn ferrets! The problem for me is, I can't let the little fury *kitten* run free, or they begin to take over my life. The problem with even addressing the subject of AT for me is, there are multiple models, that have been supported by different studies.…

I guess its a biproduct of being miserable for years and a slightly neurotic personality that being that way made me. I used to worry about how many calories I got to eat in a day. I no longer look at it in this way. I look at it like, is this food going to fill me up and keep from being "overly" hungry? Yeah, a bit of a…

From what I have read Alec, it does not matter what kind of exercise one does. The adaptation is more of an adaption to a certain calorie burn. The body starts pulling energy being used in "non-essential" body processes. Maybe one of the reasons we see inflammation go down when someone becomes more active. We see evidence…

@Bella_Figura Ill do my best to get my thoughts out. I would say that we all tend to have a body fat "settling" range. One where our bodies will go towards, according to our lifestyle. Can we go above it, sure. Below it, sure, just not very comfortably. As far as AT, yes I think it exist, but after reading "burn", by…

Awww Alec.... making me blush and all. :*

Ma'am, you can call me anything you like, except late for dinner. Real name is Dalon. I am glad to be here as well. My...errrr... adventure has been a downhill, then an uphill battle. I would be happy to share anything I have learned. Just looking for that "sweet" spot, no pun untended. Yep Alec, I've been back with "real"…

Trending today at 205.1 height at 6'3". High 400+, low 180. Slight uptick this week, still down from my highest trending last year of 213.
