It doesn’t matter just log at some point during the day.

walking and weight training is a great combo. Running is unnecessary

Losing weight and exercising are 2 of the best things you can do to lower BP.

If daily weigh ins are that stressful then don’t do it or only weigh the days after having a low calorie dinner or when you get on the scale when you know you ate lot the night before just be prepared for a higher reading and don’t let it bother you.

Don’t rely on spouses for compliments. Some just won’t give you props. It would be nice however it’s your fight so do whatever it takes to keep your head in the game.

It’s CICO however you still have to pay attention to macros, protein in particular

yes of course

Just focus on your progress. The more you lose the more you will feel every lb lost. That’s a pound a week so just stay the course. You could slightly increase your weekly deficit for a bit faster result if you want. As you lose more you’ll have to anyway as your maintenance calories get lower as you get lighter

lol, wut?

Leave it for 6 weeks and change if needed. There are many factors at play that will affect the outcome of your fat loss

Yes the scale is a great tool however too many people put too much faith in it as the be all end all word on their progress or lack of it. I use it as a long term gauge however there are many factors to consider, muscle mass being one. 180 lbs in a period where you have been doing a lot of weight training will be a vastly…

In reality the way your clothes fit tells you more than the scale. Weigh as often as you like however it won’t speed up weightloss regardless of the weighing frequency. Don’t obsess with the scale.

Yes People seem to be way off in their calculations and don’t realize how low their maintenance calories actually are sometimes. There is too much emphasis put on relying on calorie calculators, eating back calories, etc. The best approach is after a month or 2 of using those things is to review the actual data that is…

Because generally your diet is a bit better during the week and holds less water so Friday you're usually at your lowest amount of water, glycogen. Too many times its the weekend when you loosen things up a bit with foods higher in carbs and sodium so first of the week can be higher. Your results may vary

It’s bad for people that don’t understand that there are daily water fluctuations and get stressed when they weigh a couple pound more than the day before. Those people do better with a once a week weigh in where they weigh the same day at the same time which optimally is Friday after rising and using the bathroom

If loss is slow or non exostent after a few months and you're fairly active then the culprit is too many weekly calories. Most people under count their overall weekly calories due to several factors and most will argue that they're being accurate however the proof is in the result or lack of results as they tell the actual…

You look pretty damn good. Work on progressive overload. Sets of 8 with a certain weight then when you can do 10 easily then raise the weight so you can do 8 then when you can do 10, raise the weight again and continue. This won’t continue indefinitely so when the weight is just no longer able to go up raise reps to 12.…

More important to get protein in hours before going to the gym. Overall protein consumption > protein timing

This every day

Carb cycling overall has no effect on fatloss unless you're at an extremely low bodyfat preping for a contest. In normal situations for people low carbing, it can be advantageous to consume most of their carbs an hour or 2 before training strictly for training energy only..

There are other factors to consider. Running instead of walking can have its issues for fatloss. NEAT may be compromised and hunger may also increase. There is a guy in our neighborhood that I’ve seen running shirtless for 2 years. He started out looking probably 40 lbs overweight and now, 2 years later, he is looking…

Many people do think they are a magic wand and either regain the weight when “job done” by going back to their old habits or don’t lose because they think they just have to take the drug and eat whatever they want. They work when the person has a clear understanding of proper use and implements a lifestyle change post…

Drugs for weight loss is a temporary bandaid at best.

Correct. Muscle itself doen't really burn much fat contrary to many beliefs however more strength can mean being more inclined to take on more activity.

Doctor should be reported.

It isn't a magic wand for fatloss. You still have to be in a consistent calorie defict to lose.

Yes thats calories in and out more activity = more calorie burn nobody is arguing that fact. Heart rate isn’t always an indicator of how many calories are being burned

In a month you’ll know if your weekly calorie amount is producing the results you’re after.

that’s all well and good however your overall energy balance (calories in and out) will determine what your weight does.

will drop weight if there is an actual weekly calorie deficit consistently
