  • It's all relative. IOt all depends on what your TDEE is. A 1200 calorie diet really isnt crazy for someone with a TDEE of like 1700. That's only a 500 deficit, which really isn't insane at all. I feel like this is really just a poorly thought-out / ignorant post made by someone who hasn't done the appropriate google…
    in 1200 Calorie Diet???? Seriously??? Comment by stwida November 2018
  • My fiancee asked what I wanted for my birthday. It was the middle of a very hot summer. I told her I'd like some tanktops. I never wear tanktops, but it was so hot that I decided to give them a go. She responded with "Oh honey, you don't have the arms for tanktops..." Let's set aside from how sh*tty that comment was for a…

  • Keto, in essence, has goals no different than the goals of any other diet... Caloric deficit. What does this mean? In order to lose weight, we must put our bodies in what is called a 'caloric deficit'. Each day, our bodies burn a certain number of calories. This number is called out 'maintenance calories', as in, the…

  • It completely depends on your goals and what you want. Personally, I've found that when it comes to 'cheat meals', it's easier to consider your weekly goal rather than your daily goal. Crunch the numbers and find out how much over your daily goal your 'cheat meal' is going to put you. Divide that overage amount by the…

  • It's not that simple. If you're working out in a fasted state, and you only ate 100 calories beforehand, you are probably going to pull from fat stores. I say probably because this is completely dependent on your glycogen stores, which are completely dependent on what you've eaten even prior to that 100cal protein shake.…

  • Everything you consume 'counts'. It depends on what your intentions are for that day. Are you allowing yourself to treat the drinks as 'cheat consumption' and go over your calorie goal for the day, or are you trying to include the drinks in your daily calorie goal? All beverages will differ depending on types of liquids…

  • If you find yourself giving into these temptations, consider the following: 1) You would not crave or give into these things if you were truly satisfied with your current diet. I, for example, absolutely loved junk food prior to my diet. I guess you could say I still love it, I just don't eat it anymore. The number one…
    in Trouble sticking to healthy eating/sabotaging weight loss goals Comment by stwida July 2018
  • Congrats on your weight loss, and remember, never give up! If you get sick of Keto, don't quit, switch to another diet! Remember, at the end of the day, every diet, even Keto, simply has the goal of keeping you in a caloric deficit. There are many options for losing weight!

  • Everything is net/net. If you're 4,000 over after vacation, you'll never get back to where you were until you have a total net deficit of 4,000. If you go back to eating at maintenance, you will simply hold onto the extra 4,000 you consumed on vacation. Whether you chip away 200/day or more, or less, it will not just go…
    in Vacation weight gain! How long to lose? Comment by stwida July 2018
  • Start by using on online TDEE (Total daily energy expenditure) calculator. The two I use (I use two to ensure accuracy) are... 1) https://tdeecalculator.net/ 2) https://www.iifym.com/iifym-calculator/ After getting your TDEE, both sites give you the choice of your personal goals. I, personally, aim for a 750 calorie daily…
