Wether cholesterol is good or bad for you is going to be most individual situation based mostly on genetics and how you actually process it. It is actually a very important substance. the best defense is to get it checked and get an arterial scan to check for blockages. That will let you know how your body is processing it.

People that work out are a small percentage. People that work out so hard that cortisol becomes a factor is a TINY percentage of that, so not really a factor for those that work out due to exercise.

Unless your trip is 4 or more months away don't even worry about it much depends on how much you're wanting to lose.

Don't get too wrapped up in macros right now as the only one that's actually important at this point is protein, you want to make sure you're getting enough. building muscle will come from your overall calorie amounts, enough protein, and a proper training program.

no. Creatine is wonderful. If in fact, if it's causing you to not lose, it's just water so don't worry about it.

personal preference. I have some Greek yogurt, works well…..

There are those tht say you should try to keep daily calories as close as possible then those that fast 1 or 2 days a week and those that go lower cal during the week and have more calories on the weekend. One commonality, aside from fasting, you should attempt to keep your protein amounts in tact. All of these are…

Your fatloss success will be determined by a weekly calories deficit consistently and not meal timing

some people even athletic people can get down to very low body fat and still not see their abs. It all comes down to how developed they are, If you don't have a natural developed ab structure, you're gonna need to do some direct ab work to build those abs up while eating at maintenance or a slight caloric surplus and then…

Weekly is the number that is most important. The body doesn't have a 24 hour clock installed and processing energy takes time. Fatloss is a product of a consistent weekly calorie deficit over time.

Rest days should be dictated by what is called MRV, maximum recoverable volume. It all depends on how intense your workouts are that will dictate what you rest days need to be. Programs almost all compound movements are gonna take a lot more rest days than a program that specializes in isolation focused exercises. You just…

not having a Magic Secret doesn't sell books or get Youtube followers and subscribers.

meal timing, meals per day, not eating at night have nothing to do with weight loss. Weight loss is a product of a consistent weekly calorie deficit over time.

what kind of doctors have you been talking to? Hopefully not just a GP. It sounds like a nerve issue and for those kind of things. It’s good to work with a neurosurgeon. You may need to get an MRI, working through these things with PT may not be the best route, in fact without proper diagnosis PT can exacerbate the…

You need to stick program for 4 to 6 weeks to see what the outcome actually is. One week is not enough time to figure anything out water shifting around that hasn’t really been lost yet, very little fat will be lost in a week, give it some time

incorrect.

without knowing all of your details, it’s impossible to give you any real advice. You could be hugely overweight, and the app is telling you to eat 4000 cal or something. We just don’t know so until you can give some actual statistics and information it’s all just guessing what to tell you to do.

that’s pretty low. What are your stats? What is your height weight. Losing fat and gaining muscle especially with low calories very difficult. In fact, losing fat and gaining muscle at the same time at any time is difficult if not impossible. There are factors that need to be in place which isn’t always possible. Get away…

if you’re not hungry and you’re getting your protein and proper nutrition then don’t worry about it if you can get by with a few less calories by getting in the proper nutrition then that’s totally fine. Calorie counting is never going to be absolutely perfect so there’s a potential that your calories may be a bit…

Protein Sleep Training intensity and recovery win

Eating healthy and exercising is no guarantee you’re going to lose weight. It comes down to calorie balance. Every week if you’re taking more calories than you’re burning, you’re not going to lose weight and you may even gain. You need to wait 4 to 6 weeks at a certain calorie amount to judge if your actually in a calorie…

You need to decrease not increase calories especially when you’ve lost that much weight. Your body is a lot lighter and needs a lot fewer calories, if your weight stopped all of a sudden you may be retaining water if it was more of a gradual loss then that signals that you’ve reached your maintenance calories

you’re hauling around 35 less pounds so you don’t need as many calories so you may want to think about lowering those a bit to continue losing weight

No loss = No weekly/monthly calorie deficit. 1500 to 2000 cal is a really big gap. You need to be more precise on what you’re eating and drinking. Calculate what you’ve been taking in and lower that. Your initial loss after dropping calories is usually water so that was expected stick with a more exact amount for 4 to 6…

Two weeks isn’t enough time. Also don’t figure your macros in percentages, figure in grams. Fasting and a lot of water does nothing for fat loss. weekly calories will determine what happens with your weight so give it a couple more weeks and if no loss you’re gonna need to lower your calories.

Fasting of any kind will not directly cause fatloss. You want to look at your overall weekly calories. Take seven days worth of calories and divide by seven and that is your average calorie amount which is the magic number to look at. If intermittent fasting or things like that Help you lower weekly calories then it works…

Unless you're diabetic i wouldn't worry about it.

You can’t spot reduce your waist or anywhere else on your body. Your body is going to lose fat where it’s genetically programmed to do so in whatever order it decides whether it be waist, hips, legs, butt or whatever else. You’ll need to do some research on calorie deficits and follow those rules and then the fat will…

that looks ok. If you’re eating quite a bit more than that right now you may want to go down to 1500 cal over the course of a few weeks because dropping calories too fast can make things hard to stick to

yes 500 is always a good number to shoot for just in case you’re off a little bit on your accounting on the negative side just keep an eye on your fat gain around your waist if that starts growing too much you just cut your calories back a little bit but the only way muscle goes on is if food goes in the mouth. The right…
