you said it perfectly. now I understand. thanks alot man means alot. I was really paranoid and stuff. I guess ill just do whatever is sustainable in the long run

why won't it work long term?

but a water fast could work right ? it will balance it out. or I could burn the cheat meal calories

why wouldn't it work long term? just curious. and actually I think ur right.1800 sounds better

I agree it might make me hungry. but usually on the weekend I go out and I tend to get hungry more. okay not like 5000 maybe 3.5k ish I guess..and also no..2000 is not the level at which I maintain..I lose 0.5kg weight per week by just eating 2k calories regardless of exercise. but since u said it would work I guess I'll…

I try my best but it's a really strict routine to follow. If I lose weight I'll stick with cardio and then maybe get a personal trainer for weights. But I just hope that ..I won't lose muscle if I'm doing only cardio. I'm having a good amount of protein too

oh okay. that makes sense. is it fine if I just stick to cardio like walking and swimming for the entire weight loss journey? I hate weights. or will I lose muscle if I stick to only cardio..

Thanks alot!! I just have a last question.i was wondering if it's possible if I just stick to cardio for the remainder of my weight loss journey. I only do cardio to burn 500 calories. and another question is can I aim to burn 1000 instead of 500

oh damn. guess I gotta increase the speed. I guess I'll use this calorie calculator. it seems accurate. it shows me I burn 383 with a speed of 3.2 km for 75 min

oh alright. so basically I should eat the calories I burned ..got it. And no haha I'm not copying but since you said you were the same height and around the same weight I figured even I should start with 2000

I'll do what you do. I'll increase my intake to 2000 and track it daily. but is it fine if I don't eat the calories I burned from working out ? and I'll burn 500 daily

now I understand. I guess I have to be patient. i guess I'll increase it to 2000 . thanks alot.

so you ate the calories you burned from exercising right? and what excercises did you do?

[ Oh that's amazing. So youve been eating 1800 calories since the start. I wanted to ask if it's fine to set the goal to lose a kg a week rather than a pound. And if I just aim to burn 500 calories a day via treadmill or swimming along with eating 1800 calories ..its fine right? or I can maybe set at 2000. Also if you…

what was your weight when you started your journey?

but if I eat the calories I burned back..isn't that gonna be bad?

yeah true . I didn't realize I was eating really low. I have one last question..so when I'm setting up my goals in the myfitness pal app..I put my weight and then my goal weight (70 kg). my goal is to lose a kg a week. but I'm confused about the activity level. I go swimming daily for an hour . some other days treadmill…

Ohh I see. Yeah that makes sense. I assume I eat more than 1200 but less than 1500. I stopped tracking calories . but also I'm kinda nervous now. I think I'll start tracking calories again in order to lose a kg a week. I have another question. Can I have one cheat meal a week if I eat enough for maintenance calories ? Or…

Oh perfect !I thought like my maintenance was lower since I lost alot of muscle last year and barely did any lifting . I'll see how it goes !!I was worried because last year i lost 17 kg and alot was muscle mainly by walking and a deficit eating random junk food.

So I follow the 50 calories per 100 gram ? Thank god ..I was getting so worried

It's from a famous food business called al islami ..on MFP it says the same .

I chose lose 0.5 kg a week. So done the math and just need to burn 500 hundred daily to burn a kg a week ..

I can't get a personal coach right now. My other question is ..how can I ensure my metabolism isn't screwed..if I just want to walk daily to burn 500 and eat 1860 calories . I don't want to body recomp since it's way harder and needs more knowledge

I'm eating 1800 calories ..how much more do I have to increase ?

So let's say I reach my goal weight with the way I lose weight rn. And I wanna build muscle so I eat in a surplus. Will I gain all the weight back

My net calorie deficit is 1000 approximately inclduing workout

I regained it because I got really lazy. I was happy with the way I was losing weight . Enjoying the foods I loved. Once I lose the weight I will immediately get a plan to gain muscle considering I will be skinny at my goal weight

He thinks I will lose a lot of muscle . Even though I have a good amount of protein but I don't lift weights . I'm just aiming to get skinny . And I was at 74 kg but I didn't like how I looked

Slow and steady!got it. Thanks alot for the wise words and motivation

So is that the reason my weight loss is only around a kg per week in the first month ?because in the first month of my weight loss journey last year I lost around 6 to 7 kg and now it's slow. What's the reason
