That’s is amazing! I believe everything said here and those big deficits and not knowing what to do is what stopped me last time. Thanks!!

Yeah I’ve heard that works. Sounds counter intuitive, but that’s a cool technique thanks!

Go slow man. Read about the nasty things your body does when it thinks it’s starving. The body is very good at surviving a hard winter, blame our ancestors. Set it to 1/lb a week and add me. I got about a year to do this and the same weight to lose as you. FYI I fast naturally 18 hrs a day because I don’t like eating late.…

Maybe should have broke that up into metabolically adapt calorie wise, workouts was another paragraph. I do think the body metabolically adapts to calorie deficits,especially large ones. I just don’t think humans would do well without this survival trait. That’s what I want to figure out because my last plan I feel I…

I think I’ve been guilty of this. I remember freaking when my weight didn’t move for a week with close calorie, bf and exercise counts. It’s been a while, but seems like I cut more calories, worked out longer, even threw a diet pill in there..and things got extremely hard. Anyway, I feel more confident now seeing all the…

Lots of “never hit a plateau” here or “1 week max”. Maybe I’ve done something wrong in the past. I really think I cut my calories back too much when I hit a snag causing other issues. I’ll have to look back through my old spreadsheets. Maybe this time I’ll track closer and be patient.

Your body is mostly water. Go a few days without and everything shuts down. Basically for cell function and your body to do it’s processes it needs water. I feel it’s even more important if your pushing your body like in dieting and exercise.

I called it "fat boy sweats". When I was much slimmer and tracking calories, I would wake up in the middle of the night and go get a triple cheeseburger. I got to know that one splurge wasn't going to ruin me. Since I was tracking, I could see that I really on gain a fraction of what sat on my weight scale that next…

I like that theory. I think that theory doesn't allow metabolic adaptation. Do you switch workouts like say your a runner and that's all you do is run cause issues?

Good point. I agree going slow is key to preventing these things. I just know when I get closer to target my body usually says "un uh". At that point it's "can I eat this brownie at the party" and rethinking my training. That's the plateau I speak of.

Oh no. This is not my first weight loss program but my first in my 40s. Gonna sit and watch the thread.

Heard something cool the other day on a podcast. People were told to go to the gym but can only spend 5 min. They did this a while and sure enough it was the habit that kept them coming back. Pretty cool, not much pressure.

I got nothing for ya but this, eggs are pretty popular for breakfast around here. It’s just an almost perfect food.

It’s usually a pretty high number. Body builders used to(maybe still do) eat crazy calories and work out hard to “bulk up” building all the muscle they can. Later, they “cut” by dieting carefully and working out to shed the fat they gained with their high calorie diet but try and keep all that muscle the gained. It’s a…

If your working out it’s pretty normal at first. If your just doing a calorie count hmmmmm can’t comment till I’ve been here a while. I do think weighing first thing in the morning, same clothing, after evacuation, helps keep things close to accurate.

edit

I only know one elliptical machine, I'll read that as "elliptical excersise" and "walking excercise", two separate

haaaaaaa

I saw a cool under the desk cycle machine. It may be what I try, but not sure I can concentrate at work cycling under my desk. The ones now days are almost silent too.

Coffee is the devil with Gerd. I still do it though. I do tend to get hungry after coffee, but it's morning, the best time to eat like a king!!!! I also don't eat at night either, so I'm pretty hungry on wakeup or shortly after coffee. Hey, try inclining your bed. I was able to drop some serious GERD meds doing that(after…

oh how time has changed for me......a kind caring heart is enough.....oh and a real picture not a instagrammed one is a diamond now days

nice

I do the 16 hour fast naturally since I don't eat at night. I'm super fat. I think it's just helpful to not eat late in other ways. As for fasting for days, done that too but for non dietary reasons. I'm no expert but I'm pretty certain starving for a time throws your body is a freaked out place where it needs to survive…

"Take it Slowwww" you didn't get here overnight, it won't reverse overnight, committing is enough.

It's weird, I ate like crazy and still didn't hit my calorie limit. There must have been some hidden things in there like late night sweat tea, maybe our "party night with pizza" or perhaps some snacks. The first day I ate regular for a baseline, came up short on calories.....yesterday I was aware, not hungry and came up…

what? panic buying in 2022? The US went through that in 2020. Nowdays, in my area, everything is back on the shelf and doctors offices don't wear mask. I guess my tip is take this as an example of what a catastrophe looks like. Think about how you'll eat, drink, shelfter, etc.. in a real nasty even like a total collapse of…

add me

1700 cal in exercise a day…and your here on a calorie counter app? Hell I can hardly eat that much as a hungry overweight man. Something not right here.

Lol orlastat, like that Alli stuff. If you just so happen to eat something fatty…..in my case a BK lunch break…..better bring a change of clothes.

Hello, I think it's easier when your single to focus on health. When it's two people, it just gets complicated. You eat the same, you make meals together, we settle, one needs 20min to get ready the other too tired to go to gym, etc...it's just complicated. I had to get a bit selfish this time and say "this is for me, I'm…
