This is true. In order to get lean gains, she is going to have to bulk or do a recomp program. Recomp is usually recommended at >18% bf. A focus on cardio right now would probably be best if your trying for loss. You can also do cycling 7 days for gains.

I think ketogenic diets are okay and I have some experience with them (lost about 50lbs). But ultimately, it becomes unsustainable. The best thing, imho, is learning how to incorporate foods into your diet that are carb rich. Especially when you get to the point where your trying to build muscle rather than just lose fat.…

fruit is sugar. Less fruit more GREEN veggies and more protein. Carbs are in veggies too btw.

You don't need to exercise to lose weight at your weight honestly. Your very obese. So simply walking around is good enough until you get a lot closer to your optimal weight. Then it will make a much bigger difference. You don't eat back your exercise calories by the way. My biggest gripe with people who come on here and…

I also have the same problem. We're all not the same in this respect.

The best thing you can do for yourself is cutting down on carbs (i.e. simple sugars). That means things like potatoes, breads, rice, etc. The fact your hungry isn't a bad thing. IT just means your body needs time to adapt to less intake. I would up your water intake to 8+ glasses a day. Eat more protein and fats. Less…

Its not wrong to feel hungry. Your body is adjusting to less, stick with it and give it time. Stomach needs time to shrink and your brain becomes accommodated to less. In the meantime, consider more water. A lot more. Not only does it aid in weight-loss but dehydration is the number 1 reason people overeat. They think…

That's not true. In the least. However, I will say if you can manage to go the "moderation" route, I would suggest it.

Well that's up to you, we all know that things haven't been super great lately on the South Side. But I don't think you have much to worry about unless you live in the middle of Blue Island. But its cold as **** that early. You will need to acclimate to the air. I've lived in some pretty ify places in my life (Brooklyn,…

Okay. There are two schools of thought on this. I used to be a compulsive overeater. So I've tried both ways. People who preach moderation don't have an unhealthy relationship with food. So they can have a bag of m&ms in their house and be totally disinterested. There are some people who buy a bag of m&ms and in the span…

I find that I used to struggle at LOT with binging. I stopped keeping my "trigger foods" in the house. I also make sure I exercise - everyday. Even if its just walking. I find that suppresses my appetite. On my heavy cardio days, I sorta am not interested in food. But I eat a LCHF diet so nearly all my calories come from…

Yeah facts are hard.

Metabolic condishuns effect like .03% of the population. Not every ****en obese person has one. Their biggest problem is: overeating. Duh. Calories in> out is 100% effective for pretty much everyone. Its just people don't want to stop eating too much. Whatever the reason and there are valid reasons. But that's a different…

100% true. Despite the fact we all maybe coming form different schools of thought (paleo, keto, high carb, moderation, etc) we ALL agree that you MUST maintain a deficit to lose weight.

5'5/F - 1233 because I'm cutting right now on a LCHF regime. I don't find it hard to maintain. LCHF makes me feel quite full all day. Plus I only eat twice a day. Morning (after exercise) and night time. I'm not particularly hungry in the middle of the day.

Congrats. I am not trying to rain on your parade but...Old Navy is notorious for "vanity sizing." I would take it slightly with a grain of salt that your actually "that" size. Remember to go by waist/bust measurements like inches/cm. I've found that at old navy I'm tweeny size which is silly since I'm a 28in waist and a…

CONGRATS on your loss! I know how great it feels. :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: Just wait untill you get even further down you will feel amazing. Honestly, I've never felt better in my life.

Your over eating and your choices are not great. High sodium. Your going over your cals almost everyday - by alot. That adds up over a week. Lots of people will say eating ****ty foods is fine as long as it "fits" but its clearly not fitting. You need to reduce your salts - BIG time. Reduce your cal count and exercise some…

It takes time. Took me 2 years to lose about 95 lbs. I'm trying to shed my last 20 now and its quite hard. Once you get down into the lower weight ranges its a bit harder. You might want to consider changing your micros. Less carbs and more protein/fats.

Paleo is a fad. Most people won't stick to it. I've been on keto for almost 2.5 years now...I've moved to a more LCHF but I do restrict certain foods out of my diet due to trial and error. But what people don't realize is paleo and keto are LIFESTYLES which you cannot deviate from. It requires a lot more planning and…

I'm just gunna say it. Your not motivated to exercise self-control to stop eating the garbage that got you fat to begin with. You need to change your habits and it doesn't require surgery to do it. If your bored take a walk, get a hobby. Its a little pathetic that your wasting so much money on medical procedures when you…

don't listen to the ****s. your not fat.

Open your journal. But 6 pounds for 3 months isn't bad. That's about .5 ish per week. If you wish to lose more, you will need to provide us access so we can help. Its progress. If you want to cut faster, then its gunna be a lot more work. You will have to probably do a low carb regime and add strength training into your…

If your craving sugar ...drink water and don't give into it. Eat something with fats/protein instead.

There's also a great phone app.

Don't buy it. Don't keep it around. If your family does, you just eat something else. That means buying your own groceries. If they have pizza, you make yourself something. Also, you gotta have willpower to say no. Once you stop eating that crap you won't want it anymore.
