Until you’re happy with your leanness.

All you can do is reduce overall calorie intake and lose fat overall. Your genetics will determine where the fat comes off of first.

Do whatever equation you want however the proof will surface in a month or so about how accurate it all was. Adjust at that time, usually people figure too high in calories burned and too low in calories consumed and the results will illustrate that. If you were one of those that did things correctly then you’re one of the…

More P = more satiation and better muscle retention. Learn to count macros in grams rather than percentages

There is a lot of knowledgeable people on this forum so you ask questions here as a starting point. Super generic is not a bad thing as nutrition isn’t that complicated however many nutritionists make things complicated trying to seem overly knowledgeable

tracking macros is the same as tracking calories. Just be smart about getting in enough protein Number of meals and meal timing has no effect on Fatloss. “Tricking” is a myth. No loss after awhile is simply not being in a calorie deficit.

If they have zero calories then no, no effect. As far as which is better from a health standpoint you’ll get conflicting opinions. There are a multitude of studies of pros and cons of both. I’m in the camp of no sugar however I rarely drink it but if you drink a lot of it then that would be something worth looking into.

LOL, you're probably a year too late to start thinking about it depending on how much you're trying to lose. BTW don't put a lot of stock into those apps. If they work it's usually after a lot of trial and error (read: Waste Of Time for awhile) so best to stick with a reasonable calorie amount and review in a month. It's…

Overall, every year after 35 or so, muscle becomes harder to build. Your genetics will be a major factor. Regardless of if you can or can't build much after 60, just training and building strength as you age is HUGE! Go into a good program as Ann outlined and give it your all and you'll get what you get and it will be a…

You're taking in more calories than you think on a weekly basis. That amount every day consistently and the weight would be falling off

Stick with your current weekly calorie amount for a month and review at that time. It takes that long for all the "noise" from water retention and release and homeostasis to normalize somewhat. At that point adjust calories to be in step with your goals.

Don't be intimidated by weights. They're the best training tool when used properly. As far as big legs and smaller body, that's your genetics so you need to work around it. Some people have naturally more muscular legs and those people need to not try to reduce through weights as that will just exaserbate the issue. If fat…

LOL fuc#in SIRI.....

No nothing wrong with good fat as long as it doesn't put you over your overall calorie target. Get away from percentages and use grams for your macros

There is no magic to KETO it is not a shortcut to fat loss unless it causes you to take in fewer calories overall which for some, find the high fat content more satiating Unless you can adapt KETO as a permanent diet it’s best to just use a carb inclusive diet. Those carbs can be low or higher, whichever works best for you…

All you need to do is get in around 1 gram of protein per pound for your target weight along with around .35 of a gram of the same equation and the rest of the calories with whatever you want. Choosing lean meats, veggies, avocado and eggs as priorities will keep you satisfied and keep hunger at bay. Don’t drink calories.

I’d be leary of taking any advice regarding diet from a GP or for that matter many in the health field as there are just so many opinions. Drugs for sugar cravings would be a last ditch effort as I’m guessing it’s more of a tasty habit than an actual need for sugar

How much do you have to lose? Unless you're obese and your doctor feels rapid weightloss overshadows other issues you have then too fast a loss can be problematic. You didn't put it on overnight so it won't come off overnight. Start by eliminating highly processed foods and liquid calories and concentrate on lean protein…

Alway weigh first thing in the morning after peeing before drinking anything If the previous day's diet had extra salt and/or carbs then the water retention will be higher.

When someone says their metabolism has slowed what really happened is they're moving around less during the day and burning fewer NEAT calories. After 60 metabolic rate drops by about 1% a year so not really much of a factor.

Put a picture of the thinner you on the door to the pantry and every time you reach for something this is a reminder of not to do it.

totally untrue. Your overall weekly calories matter and not meal timing.

Be careful with gaining as adding fat is easy and not really what you want unless you’re a total stick.

It depends. If it isn’t zapping energy from your weight workouts and you’re eating enough then it’s fine. Conditioning training is important so fit it in somewhere.

3 days you want full body workouts with compound exercises and throw in some extra work for lagging body parts.

It depends on many factors. What is your height and weight? Do you know what your maintenance calories are? How accurate is your calorie counting and tracking?

your low energy is most likely due to too low of calories.

If your stall is less than 4-6 weeks then just keep going. If it's been longer than that then revisit your calorie counting and tracking accuracy as that amount of calories will support a good amount of fatloss at your stats.

Anything that is a problem just don’t bring it into the house. If you have those thing screaming at you in the grocery store to put ‘em in your cart maybe have someone else do your shopping or use instacart. It all comes down to having willpower. It’s an inside job. You’ll have to decide between junk food and weightloss,…

Walking and calorie restriction is what will work. Any diet is successful due to implementing a consistent calorie deficit over time. The fact that you regained the weight after “ketosis” illustrates the dilemma of people who lose weight then regain it due to going back to other ways of eating. Find a way to eat that you…
