If your goal is to be at a healthy weight then yes If your goal is to achieve above average fitness then yes If your goal is to increase your strength then yes

Just do the math. 10 pounds = 35,000 calories 30 days / 35,000 = 1,166 calorie deficit per day Your current maintenance calories - 1166 = unrealistic

I eat, therefore I have a diet.

Fwiw...... Not saying people who lose a lot of body fat don't or can't end up with excessive skin but in all my searching for answers and the pics I have seen it seems the vast majority of time it is fat. Another theory I developed along the way pertains to the 2 year number people give. Perhaps as a alternative to getting…

Speaking for myself as a guy, yes it is fat. After losing 90lbs to get down to 15% BF I had exactly what the OP is calling a "flat tire" or excess skin, other call it skinny fat. Even though I was at my goal weight I didn't like the look so I went down to 10% Bf and went from having a "flat tire" look around my belly to a…

Go read your post again. You go on and on about all your problems and challenges and how hard it is and then at the end as for suggestions. Well duh, it's hard for everybody so no, not any sympathy for you. Your request for suggestions to maintain a "large calorie deficit" is so vague it almost doesn't merit a reply but…

Right around the 15% my mom changed her tone from being happy about my weight loss to concerned, The next time she visited the first words out of her mouth when I opened the door was, Bla bla too skinny bla bla bla So I just shot back with, hi mom, gee you are looking awfully fat. Haven't heard a peep out of her on the…

As far as the OP needing more strategies ...... For me, I set a goal, the goal had a concrete non negotiable final completion date. Then I broke that goal down by month and then weekly and finally daily targets. The strategies I used to hit my D,W, M goals developed and varied during the 12 month process but the goal never…

My best research and experience indicates yes that is the case. Obviously in the real world at 59 you are not likely to have the same BF% as the 19yo nor the desire to be as active. However being 50 and recently went from from a obese couch potato to a ripped 12% BF and riding my bike hundreds of miles per week I can tell…

It may help if you keep those 3 things separate. Calorie deficit is required to lose fat........ There is now way around this fact Working out is done for fitness....... Killing yourself in the gym doesn't equal losing fat. Strength and endurance are your goals here Eating clean is your choice of foods....... Think of…

Run the numbers again and this time specify the percentage of body fat instead of allowing the calculator to choose. The reason online calculators show a lower calorie burn for older people when you keep the activety level and weigh the same is that they calculate less muscle and more body fat as you age.

What juice should I drink to remove lead ? I want to remove any lead that may have accumulated over the years.

"Safe net calories" is a B.S. Term. It is a CYA statement made so somebody doesn't get sued when you claim to have a eating disorder based on their advise. As long as you are getting your RDA of micros I wouldn't fret over being under calorie on occasion.

Doesn't seem plausible to fill up all your free time with exercise so Add more activities to your list besides exercise to occupy your time.

Go to the cvs/Walgreens ect next to the grocery store and buy a styrofoam ice chest.

How to stay on track while at Disney : Easy, give yourself a $20 food budget for the day.

Your post makes it sound like you are just looking for validation that it can't be done. A calorie deficit is not dependent on exercise so there is no reason you can't lose fat while not on a exercise regiment. Maybe take the 6 weeks your doc wants you to off weight bearing exercise as an opportunity to tighten up your…

Just do the math. You lost 16.5 lbs in 7 months = you have been averaging a 275 calorie per day deficit. Adjust your diet/exercise accordingly.

Of course it is real, haven't you people seen the snickers commercials ? Marsha Marsha Marsha !

Just call your bowl full of veggies 150 calories if you don't want to count them. Best off being accurate with the other stuff like avacado, nuts, seeds, cranberries, and of course dressing. It isn't hard to make a 1000 calorie salad.

If you are eating processed food then you are not likely getting the RDA, if you prepare your own veggies use the USDA data entries to accurately track it. But to answer your question, I get the RDA by eating about a lot of potassium rich veggies and fruit every day. Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, spinach, bananas etc.

If you can stand the taste then eat them and count the calories.

Thou shall not desecrate they sacred cheesecake by substituting low-anything ingredients ! Take upon they a portion made right by weight and measure. And again I say rejoice !

My sage advise is to seek professional help from your doctor, optimist shakes are not going to save your life.

sounds like it could be a flexibility issue as you are not yet adapted to the position and If it is causing pain I would go back to your bike fitter and have the issue addressed. They can raise your bars by either using spacers under the stem, flipping the stem or using a diffrent stem. As you gain flexibility and adapt…

Your activity level as per the guidelines in setup should match your lifestyles activity, To lose 1 pound per week you need to eat 500 fewer calories per day.

I would suggest fewer calories, like way fewer. Try 1500 calories for a few weeks. Hold off on additional exercise until you get your calorie deficit figured out and you are losing the amount of weight that matches your deficit. In other words, if you have a 1000 calorie deficit and you actually lose 2 pounds a week.

As far as wanting a low carb diet, low carb is user defined and will vary by personal preference. A Keto diet will be around 20 grams of carbs, For some people low carb is 50 grams while others consider 100 grams low. It's your diet, gear it for your needs and likes. Experiment with various macros and find what works for…
