you answered your own question

You can and youll look terrible without a decent diet and exercise. Calorie amounts are the main drivers with fatloss however without the other 2 factors it is not a healthy approach. As mentioned above, stay between .5 and 1% of your body weight lost per week.

yes those exercises are really not necessary there's a lot of really good substitutes that are a lot better for your body plus the problem is they are too hard to recover from as you get older and that compromise the remainder of your training program. That is mostly from a CNS perspective

Some of these new guys are always chasing the latest trend. Mentzer's 1 set to failure was moronic then and is moronic now however it appeals to people that don want to put the work in. Their failure is just when a set starts being uncomfortable. There is a fine line between enough volume to actually build the most muscle…

Failure too often on compounds is a good way to fry your CNS and compromise recovery. 1-2 RIR has been proven to have equal results when you look at the bigger picture. Just stick with progressive overload and don't overcomplicate things.

as an aside, Some people that think they're on extremely low calories are just counting wrong as most people way underestimate what they are really taking in, what may seem like 1500 when counting inaccurately or not every day consistently can easily be 2000 calories when you figure your intake based on a weekly number.…

As you lose weight your calorie needs go down as there is less weight to lug around all day. Calorie deficits are alive and well and will continue to be with the correct approach when it comes to fat loss. You stopped losing because your old calorie amount is now your maintenance calories. Doctors can be some of the worst…

These GLP's only work if you follow the rules. Plenty of protein, plenty of water, realistic calorie deficit and no alcohol.

it's imperative that you count calories. Not just for the overall calories weekly but for protein amounts. People highly underestimate what sufficient protein does to curb hunger. A woman I know was having trouble losing weight and I had her track her diet for a week. She just ate like normal people do and her protein was…

The type of diet you choose is secondary to being in a consistent weekly Calorie deficit. You want to eat in a way that you can live with permanently. A good healthy balanced diet with enough protein is always a good choice. I would also work on fixing your sleep issue

You're doing it right. Most people don't.

7 is negotiable and 8 are correct the others are not necessary. Fat loss is a product of a consistent weekly caloric deficit over time and nothing more

glad you lost the weight however some of those points are unnecessary but happy it all worked .

there is no meal that is considered to be absolutely necessary. Eat at your own discretion, hit your calorie goals and protein goals.

GLPs work well if you do it correctly. They helped me get the last 20 lbs off. Water and protein are your best friends when using. You need to be working out also. People that dont do these things are the ones that have issues

Its common to stall for a few weeks after a month with no loss means you're at weekly maintenance calories and they need to come down. Listen to the above poster 👆🏼

thats nice progress, nothing wrong with that!

you are very close to maintenance calories running a very small deficit. You need to reduce WEEKLY calories. On paper you would be losing however there are several real world factors. As much as you think you're being accurate with tracking and counting many things can prevent accuracy. Your initial, more rapid loss is…

As far as setting your activity level you can do whatever you want as it's only 1 factor in the equation. You still need to count and track calories accurately. Regardless of how you set your activity level the proof of how well you're doing will be in results. Anecdotally it's advantageous to set activity level on the…

At your weight and those pounds should be falling off. If not after 4 to 6 weeks you're taking in more calories than you think on a WEEKLY basis.

You don't want to include your exercise in your activity level it's only your daily activities away from exercise. Once you have not lost anything for a month start thinking about lowering your calories because what it means is you are not counting correctly or not counting every day. Your weekly calorie amount will…

don't rely on those for accuracy even DEXA scans can be misleading, the best thing to do is just keep measurements to track progress as that and the mirror and especially photos will be the best gauge of progress along with body weight.

do you mean you're trying to add your own food or you're talking about adding food to your daily log from the database?

There is no need to skip breakfast if you're trying to lose fat it's more about your overall weekly caloric intake rather than meal timing. You didn't say what your weight and height were but if you're trying to lose weight it means that you have too much fat I would concentrate on that and just concentrate at the same…

you're on the right track. GLP1 tends to lower the thirst signal. Some people get constipated because of that. Better a bit more water than less.

In my experience, many dietitians are a lot like many of the trainers I’ve come across. Instead of sticking to sound, basic, pragmatic guidance that actually works, they sometimes feel the need to complicate things and inject questionable advice to make it seem as though they have some unique insight or “magic”…

Can you lose fat drinking wine? Yes. Does it slow down fatloss? Yes. Ive never seen anyone pouring their own glass that is the standard 5oz. Usually way more. Then you have someone smaller that has a lower caloric maintenance and then those wine calories become a much larger ratio to overall calories. 2 actual self poured…
