Drastically reducing a single macro nutrient (in this case, carbohydrates) is unnecessary. Some people do well on keto, some don't. This may be a sign that it isn't for you. General weight loss can be achieved in a safer and more efficient way by slightly reducing consumption of all three macro nutrients (carbs, proteins,…

No but I probably will cause I love bacon

I'm glad this helped. And I can relate! What I do is fill up on fiber rich carbs like sweet potatoes for a big portion of my diet. Protein is also the most satiating of the three macro nutrients (the other two being carbs and fats). You'll find that if you eat a hefty amount of lean protein like chicken breast in one…

WOMEN THAT LIFT. ...and lift with good form. I see too many that only go to the gym to do cardio for fear they'll get bulky from lifting weights. Weights won't get you bulky since you naturally don't have enough testosterone. They'll only enhance your curves. So lift!! And squat for tha booty

Eggo waffles. Cause I loveeee me some waffles

inserting bro fist* thanks man!

I know it's not my place but being a doctor doesn't imply he or she knows what is best for you. Since I don't know you personally, I can't help although I want to. In any case, please listen to your body and how it responds to this diet. The lowest I've gone was 1300 calories for a few weeks.. And I began to notice my…

Loving the responses I'm getting from this community! We're all in this together

Me. My eating window is from 4pm to midnight. I'm slowly cutting on 1700-1800 calories. Personally I don't think you're eating enough and slower, more controlled weight loss is better for longevity and keeping it off -- but that's just me.

UNLEASH THE BEAST. Seriously though, awesome work. Keep it up brotha.

Much obliged. And yes, yes I am haha. Let's get it! Kill that workout.

Don't get me wrong, I think abs are like any other muscle and should be targeted... I'm slowly beginning to work them more into my routine. If school wasn't so demanding, I'd probably hit them twice a week haha. No problem! I'm glad this post is serving its purpose :)

Thanks guys :) Sorry for the long post. I just figured this ought to be worth sharing

Completely removing processed junk from your diet may lead to weight loss benefits, sure, but for some (including myself) it's probably not realistic. You have to really dig deep and ask yourself what you want out of life, in my opinion. I used to be in your shoes where I would start the day off with my diet completely…

Amazing!! Keep it up!

added! it's go time

Thanks! I was working out anywhere from 3 to 5+ days a week.. initially I knew nothing about dieting so although I was putting on some muscle (left picture), I generally just thought the hours I was putting in the weight room justified my spontaneous eating -- whether I was bored or legitimately hungry. Cardio was always a…

Thanks! I've put on some weight since this picture.. this was during the peak of a cut that I went through for Halloween (a year before this, a childhood friend and I were talking about how awesome it'd be to dress up as Spartan warriors... I never would've guessed I'd pull through haha). And it's no problem, my goal is…

There are too many variables to consider with respect to how much you should eat in order to maintain weight -- such as water fluctuations among other things. It'd be a good idea to weigh yourself every morning post-pee and post-poop and then take the weekly average. Also keep in mind it'll take maybe 2 weeks or more to…

Jorge Quintero - 300 Violin Orchestra This song is so motivating, even if I hear it while I'm on the john, I feel like I'm deciding the fate of the world. Seriously though, this track is a definite must for EVERYONE.

I'll admit I used to do this. Essentially, it's a pretty bad idea since you'll form a bad relationship with food in the long run and it'll turn into a vicious cycle. Life is too short to beat yourself up over a few days of eating over your calories. Look at the big picture. My advice would be to continue dieting like you…

Thanks! And I couldn't agree more
