you need to take a week and you need to count all your calories and if you weight has been fairly stable that is your actual maintenance based on all your activities and lifestyle and diet. That number is going to be a lot more important than trying to get numbers off of some calculator because when you do that, you can…

you're gaining water weight. It's literally impossible to gain that much weight in fat just stay the course for a while. Give it some time.

the elliptical is one of the best cardio machines, no joint pounding, really good for leg strength with some good tension dialed up. Even if you use other equipment you want to start fairly easy and gauge how your body feels as it a new movement. Ramp things up until you find your sweet spot and go from there. My personal…

Is that dose .5MG a week? You have to be a bit more patient as it takes time for these GLP1 peptides to work. It's like fatloss without those things, your body needs to adapt to the lower calories and the water fluctuation will throw off the actual results. These aren't magic substances. You still need good nutrition to go…

low cal. Lean meat and some veggies. Water to drink.

Once you have protein figured, fats and carbs will be a personal preference. Fats generally fall into place just by a having some semblance of a balanced diet. Tracking will tell, though. If you're in the neighborhood of .4 ish grams per lb of goal weight then its fine. Keto people will be a lot higher however keeping at a…

1 cup egg whites with a scoop of chocolate protein powder and crushed ice in a blender with a tablespoon of Hersheys chocolate powder 51 G of protein.

those things you're talking about Wegovy and Zepbound are also peptides. Those are just GLP1s being marketed with a different name.

Base your actual calorie amount on your weekly and not daily amounts as we have varying daily amounts. Your weight will fluctuate day by day for many reasons however it isnt a reflection on fatloss or gain. you want to look at trends in your weight as the day to day data can be misleading as far as what's really going on

You first must learn to weigh and track food and drink consumption. One thing you have going for you is your weight is stable so count how many weekly calories you're taking in and deduct calories from there rather than starting from scratch and trying to figure out where you need to be via a calorie calculator.

Sometimes more exercise is counterproductive as it makes hunger worse. Try just dropping some non protein calories. If you are doing low-carb, try bumping the carbs up a little bit maybe lower fat if fat calories are a bit high. That's dependent though on whether your body and brain runs better on carbs or fats

It sounds like you need to learn patience. To acheive what youre after will take slow fatloss and a weight training program. Rapid fat-loss on its own only causes your body to end up looking worse as you lose too much muscle so unless you're obese, rapid fat-loss is never the answer. Eat just about at maintenance calories…

I don't, thats just one more number that will never be accurate. If your exercise program is fairly consistent then just figure it into your TDEE. Is your exercise program coupled with your overall activity at a certain weekly calorie amount achieving your desired results? Then don't overcomplicate things with more…

With all those GLP peptides, maintaining after you go off the process is the same. You need to figure your new maintenance calories and stick to that number. Since you've been eating less theres a good chance you've acquired better habits. The issue ends up being the same as with people that lose weight even without…

if no change in another week or two you'll need to drop your weekly calories

it comes in a powder in a vial and you add BAC water. Started a month ago. It lets me maintain a 600 daily calorie deficit with no hunger. That is with a small dosage. More and you will eat less however then you may not be getting in enough nutrients so you have to be smart about it. Food sits in your stomach longer.…

Peptide Sciences it's in its final stages of approval. Should be finalized soon. I think people are sitting on the fence until its officially cleared. GLP1 has been approved for awhile.

this. These GLPs make it hard to get enough nutrients in and that alone will cause muscle loss combine that with no strength training and your body will prioritize eating muscle over fat. Not what you want….

i didn't read the comments however i can guarantee you are taking in a LOT more than 500-800 calories every day of the week, every week. You need to get a handle on your counting and tracking otherwise you'll never get a firm handle on where you stand calorie wise. The bottom line is if there is no loss or very little loss…

if you haven't lost for 4-6 weeks then thats a clear sign that your weekly calories are too high. What was a deficit when you were heavier ceases to be a deficit when you get lighter. You need to lower calories if you're chasing more loss.

pure weightloss shouldnt be the goal. Fatloss should be the goal. Working out when calories are low is more about maintaining muscle mass. Fast weightloss combined with low protein and no working out is bad combo unless you're obese then the working out becomes less important

using these things is just like being in any other type of calorie deficit. Once you've lost the weight you can't go back to old eating habits. Many people benefit by staying on these GLP peptides and just lowering the dose quite a bit.

Dont rely on those smart watches for any real accuracy. If your weight has been stable then your calorie consumption is your maintenance calories so use that as a base number and deduct accordingly from there for fatloss.

Most doctors are clueless on diet and fatloss. Once you understand these glp peptides you'll understand that they are amazing at dropping 20 lbs. low dose of just enough to curb appetite and reach your calorie goal and no more.

Thats the best way to do it, just enough to hit your calorie goal without hunger and curb cravings. That will be not taking a full weekly dose at once, divide by 3 a week otherwise its not an even level of effects.

yes sounds like your counting and tracking isn't accurate

I use Retatrutide its a glp3 so is more effective than glp1. Works great. With any glp peptide you want to use the lowest dosage that allows you to hit your calorie goals. Use it 3 times a week to eliminate any side effects. Small, high protein meals and no eating 3 hours before bed. Yes, there are tricks to it however the…

Eating the right amount of calories per MFP…. that is no guarantee of success. They my be giving numbers that are too high for you activity level, if you're eating back exercise calories you may be eating too many back, your counting may be off, you my not be counting higher calorie days, youre choosing foods on the…

You're most likely not in a WEEKLY calorie deficit. Tighten up your counting, double check actual calorie amounts of the foods and drinks you're taking in. Make sure you aren't overestimating your exercise calories burned.
