So not to throw off the whole OMAD, but could you eat a decent sized meal that you feel OK after, and then just have some meat/cheese sticks to snack on later ?

in KETO OMAD tips? Comment by jelleigh March 2020

Maybe use measuring cups to get started? It won't be as accurate as weighing but much better than eyeballing .

in Estimating calories without a food scale Comment by jelleigh March 2020

So what I read from those who know here, it's really hard to actually build muscle while in a deficit. Especially a large deficit like you have. You would weight lift while in a deficit to keep the muscle you already have. Then, what people do is follow a bulk/cut cycle which means you eat at maintenance or slightly above…

in This might be a dumb question but just to clarify Comment by jelleigh March 2020

Also keep in mind, for women, even with a progressive lifting program and your intake on point (which I understand to mean a small SURPLUS and higher protein) they can probably only gain a max of 1lb of muscle per month.

in Building muscle in calorie deficit Comment by jelleigh February 2020

Maybe do something else that you can stick to? It's not like Keto and straight weighing everything is the ONLY way to lose. You just need to create a deficit and if bread makes you happy, then have some. If you dont want to track, maybe IF would create a deficit without having to measure everything? (Keep in mind that it…

in Keto or not to keto Comment by jelleigh February 2020

That's really interesting! Can I ask how many lbs of water you were retaining from that? I've been curious if I'm retaining since I started doing a weight routine 6 weeks ago. I feel/look better (which is enough honestly but I'm still curious) but haven't lost anything scale wise .

Wow cool I didnt know that! Thanks! I'm right near the Don Valley so I typically do those trails since i dont love running on busy roads.

I'm not sure if this would be helpful to you or not, but I think I have a similar problem and the time when I had the most consistent success was where I created a deficit through IF. The reason this worked for me was that the only "rule" i followed was that I stopped eating after dinner and until lunch time the next day…

Ok great advice. I would prefer to train outside -we have some nice trails nearby that would suit. But I live in Toronto and today is the first day in weeks that hasn't been like -10 Celsius and the sidewalks covered in ice/snow. It looks like its getting milder so I might be able to switch to outside soon. I don't mind it…

Thanks for the replies everyone. Ya I definitely didn't have a time goal in mind (I don't even know what would be "good" if I did?). And walk/run is fine by me. Actually a friend of mine that trains people for marathons says that people who do a 10:1 run/walk pattern generally have better overall times than those that try…

I work at a hospital and they have a small gym onsite. I go down, do 30-40 min, rinse really fast in the showers and get dressed again. I'm typically red faced for awhile after but I'm back in time. If you are working out frequently, you don't need to kill yourself every workout and be a total wreck. Moderate workouts will…

in How do you work out on lunch breaks? Comment by jelleigh February 2020

I'm loving Beachbody On Demand. There are like 800 videos total to choose from and many programs are 30 min or less per day. Plus it let's you have variety incase you get bored doing the same thing every day.

A big change for me came when i stopped thinking of workouts/ eating plans as a "weight loss" effort and more of a "being healthy" effort. If you can switch your brain to realize that you will do something like this from now on (moderate mindful eating, varied activity) then the timeliness are less important. It's not a…

in Why do I want results fast? Comment by jelleigh November 2019

I find that if I eat carbs, I crave sugar (carbs break down into sugars anyhow). Maybe try to take a few weeks and eat LCHF or high protein? I find that kicks sugar cravings after a few weeks.

I know this isn't equipment per se but the beachbody workout videos often need little to no equipment (or maybe resistance bands like suggested above) and they have workouts for any level.
