Lean meats (including chicken and some types of fish), high protein/low carb yoghurt, whey protein powder. All are high protein and very low carb/fat.

It doesn’t seem that exercise specifically is the problem. Approaching life positively makes all the difference. If you think something’s going to be really hard, it usually is. Also gratitude counts for a lot. Almost any person permanently in a wheelchair would give anything to be able to walk for 5 mins a day.

You really should walk before you run, “or jump”, literally. Hitting plyometrics at that weight when your lower leg structures are unconditioned is incviting injury which will make everything worse.

Brisk walking for an hour a day is the simplest and best. If you don’t lose weight with this you’ll have no chance with anything more intense or complicated.

It really depends on what your goals are. If you just want to lose weight, you can use anything. If you want to be as strong and functional as possible, most machines are not the best choice. Then there is bodyweight resistance, calisthenics. Many practitioners of calisthenics/gymnastics type movements have the best bodies…

I’m on maintenance calories/very slight deficit and have been for about 6 months. Every 5th day I bump my carbs up from 250g to 500g just to refill a little. I think this works better for me than spreading the carbs out equally each day. My body fat is down to 5.4% currently.

I eat the same calories daily regardless of whether I exercise or not that day. However, about every 5th day I do have a high carb day where I increase carbs up to 500g from my regular 250g/day. At 170lbs I’m losing weight on average of 2750 daily calories, although at an extremely slow rate. Consistent wit diet and…

I’ve been recomping for about 12 months now. Bodyweight has stayed within a tight range the whole time. 16 months ago I had an Inbody scan and was 8.5% body fat. I probably got up to about 10% 12 months ago though. Only started tracking calories 6 months ago and that’s when the magic happened. I’ve noticed myself gradually…

19 yo male new to weight training = steroid like results.

Had to Google it to see what it’s about. Personally, I’d recommend against any fast track approach as you will surely experience deficiencies/imbalances elsewhere in your system. The slow and steady approach is always best and the effects are much more permanent and long lasting, without the swings. A simple gradual…

Strength training 2 x week is enough to gain muscle considering you’re also doing some other activities too. Regarding the weight to use, start with a moderate resistance where you can perform the intended exercises with good form so that they are working the correct muscles. Then gradually progress the weights up over…
