This. Find out what works for you. Do both first of all and then find what works best.

You're not weighing your food so therefore you're not tracking your calories properly and therefore you're not at a deficit.

Once a month. I'm more interested in long term trends and measurements than numbers on the scale.

I'm sorry but the only issue is with the OP. It would be different if she was force feeding a tube down your throat. You have to take responsibility for your own actions. You're an adult.

From the info you're giving us it just sounds like not eating at the correct deficit. 1. Not logging every bite correctly - that includes those kids leftovers 2. At a deficit you were on ages ago (the more weight you lose, the deficit should increase) ie if you started off at 200lbs and were on X calories a day, if you…

This ^ . I rarely eat fruit - don't like sweet things really - but I eat a whole heap of veg daily. You don't have to eat Fruit to be healthy but it's best just to balance out what you like eating and with a CICO diet.

Lol number one is a constant fear of mine!

Do away with having shakes in the first place. Unless you're using shakes to help intake lean protein, you should just do calories in vs calories out and weigh and track everything. Shakes do nothing in teaching you about nutrition or eating in the real world - and by that, once you come off it. Just yourself a favour and…

Leaner on the body fat, stronger and lift more, longer endurance.

I know this isn't for everyone but I only weigh myself once a month. I honestly don't really care anymore about what the scale says - I go on inches and fitness. I do scales just to keep a check. For example, I work out a hell of a lot. I powerlift, I'm in a professional sports team and I'm a wrestler. I also do cardio for…

If you're an emotional eater, setting unrealistic goals is only going to be a death spiral for confidence and your health and promotes yo-yoing. Even if you've got loads to lose, posting a big number is fine as a LONG term goal. I understand that you may want his huge finite number by a date to feel that sense of control…

There's nothing wrong with having diuretics like coffee and tea here and here. But with bloating, the ways I combat it are, less starchy foods, making sure you're always drinking water throughout the day and fibre to keep the bowels moving. Also, exercise massively helps. Edit: in addition - curb the added salt! Keep a…

I find actually going food shopping and then making a detailed one week plan for every breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks puts me back on track.

This this this. This.

Nope.

My belly button always looks sad, especially on to the left.

I've done WW in the past and had success but it didn't teach me about nutrition, it made me focus more on the numbers on the scale and to record a loss every single week and I felt (which it is at the end of the day) just a way to push their products and expensive system that can just do by doing calories in vs calories…

If he's not taking your injuries into consideration then he's not the right trainer. But unless he placed a bar/weights across your shoulders for squats, I don't see how you're hurting your neck unless you have bad form - which is what you'll learn from a trainer. Squats are incredible for a range of reasons but again…

Pretty much what sidesteel says. On top of that I found that making sure I have protein with every meal and snack is not only great for my training but it satiates you a lot. In the mornings I actually just eat mackerel and that keeps me full until lunchtime.
-
Not always "more filling." Egg whites are really filling and are great for muscle repair.
-
To be brutally honest, I didn't think it was forever but as soon as I stop weighing food to the gram then I put on weight. However it does become second nature and going to restaurants becomes easier.

Lean protein POST workout is better to aid muscle recovery.

Black coffee and lots of water!

Again, the back and forth through the threads arguing that doctors do a semester course in nutrition and don't know much about it is on this thread several times.
-
I know it doesn't. That's what I agree with. But there's loads of back and forth on the thread about them hence why after how many comments I decided to wade in to just clear up the inaccuracies in what doctors learn when you study to be a doctor.
-
I didn't say they weren't. I wasn't referring to that doctor as being a good one although I acknowledge that was what kicked off this back and forth spiralling into how doctors don't study nutrition at all! I've personally had a couple of terrible GPs before when it came to nutrition but not all of them are like that. I've…
-
Right, just because this is coming up so much in this thread and frankly it's just factually incorrect, I'd like to ask how many people out there have gone through medical school, come from a medical family or move in scientific circles? This is not a trick question, to insult anyone or to sound pretentious but merely…

I'm reading this while sitting on a 2in1 cross trainer/bike at home. At the moment since it's still the sales, there are loads that are super cheap (we got this one for £50 no joke). Has been an amazing motivator to do stuff whatever time of day and currently don't have to go to the gym. Other stuff, without the bike,…

Never log water, spices, coffee, diet fizzy drinks or sugar free squash, or medicine. With medicine / cough syrup, I don't care what calories are in it, it's a dangerous precedence to set if you log medical items as part of your calorie intake.
