I get this type of question from my clients often. Realistically 5 lbs is not earth shattering failure. I feel the effect when I allow myself to have a reward meal and allow myself to have bread and cheesecake. Question: How often are you weighing in? I recommend no more than 1-2 times a week because your weight will swing…

I did it myself 2 1/2 years ago and yeah, is feels great to hear a doc complement you on your hard work. I Dropped almost 90lbs in 3 mos, killed diabetes. Covid shutdowns and school I put on about 40 lbs. 5-7 lbs is muscle, the rest fat but so far My A1c is good. I'm starting another calorie cut and taking my daily cals…

Here is the answer I give my clients..Yes and No No... Because you destroyed your adversary (poor health) before, you know what needs to happen and its up to you to dig deep, apply yourself and do it. Just like the Terminator movie franchise; The first one Sarah Connor destroyed the first terminator, there will always be…

Creatine is a protein produced by your body as a result of muscle breakdown usually from strength training. 99% of it is metabolic waste and you pee it out. Only a small amount is taken up into muscles during heavy anaerobic (oxygen depleted) muscle exertion and used to recycle Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) a biproduct…

I dropped 60+ lbs / 22+ kilos in three months, along with capping my daily calories to 2000 Cal / 8368 kj. I did the following. 1) Get with your physician and discuss any medical issues with him /her especially if you have other medical issues. I also recommend you have a dietician that is not stuck on the standardized…

Send me a friend request as I have several suggestions. I lost 50 lbs in less than 60 days naturally no surgery or pills, just eating smart and hard work. The short version. 1) Measure and weight everything you eat. DO NOT GUESSTIMATE or eyeball how much. Use MFP to decide if you have room for the snack. 2) SLASH THE…

It’s easier to make adjustments on your pc. Go online, MFP, click home, it should be in check in. You can delete the mixup.

Most definitely. I set my macros to cut body fat and loose weight carbs 15% fat 25% protein 60% lost 50 lbs in six weeks. Now that I'm strength training I upped the fat slightly carbs 15% fat 30% protein 55%. the important thing to remember is the source of the fats. Omega 3 AKA good fats should be the dominant source…

Are you weighing in properly? The best way to weigh is the following. 1) Use the same scale every time, place the scale in a room with consistent temperature in a specific location that is flat, clean and dry. 2) Weight day should be on a day off where you can sleep in if you do, and you can start your day relaxed. 3) Wear…

Go ahead and binge out?, Really? Ignore the eat the fast food advice. Have some high quality protein on hand like precooked chicken breast; a 4 oz serving add it to a lettuce and spinach salad works wonders for me.

I discourage fasting as it often creates more problems than benefits. I would first look at the carb intake, the net calories and their sources and adjust from there. First question. Is your weight within a normal healthy range? If so you might have reached your new normal. Are you exercising at least 30 min every other…

The carbs vs fiber routine is usually only good for justifying eating high carb foods. Don't believe the nonsense if you eat a g of fiber the g of carbs magically goes away, it doesn't happen that way. If you have to juggle numbers that likely means you are choosing the wrong foods. Look at it like justifying eating 2500…

Not likely. .7 k = 1.5 lbs. Most likely it was a minor weight error in math or procedure. Your weight will vary throughout the day as you eat, use the bathroom, etc., as well as what you are wearing. The best way to weigh in is the following. 1) Locate the scale in a room that has a consistent temp and humidity, on a hard…

If you have a medical condition I would recommend asking your physician for his or her recommended calorie intake. Your calorie intake depends primarily on your on your age, sex, height, current weight, activity level, and fitness goal/s. 1300 sounds low. Most active females 1500 is a reasonable benchmark active males 2000…

It's possible the estimated calories burned is incorrect. I just started using this a couple days ago: my new doc recommended it to track calories and activity. I question some of the calories burned; For example I went bow hunting yesterday; I had a total of 1 hour walking approximately 1/3 mile from my vehicle to and…
